The Tempest

The world is small, so thin, so numb so cold and lost to the future
We're full of souls living with nothing left to say
When you don't recognize the face that abused you
What is this global sickness?
What did it come to?
He doesn't know, what's left inside of his twisted mind
He doesn't know, what's left inside of his soul he can't define
He marches on with the wrong crowd, and wrong friends
She loves the bottle; the only one who will listen
He doesn't care about the world around him
Nothing matters
No one cares
And no one lives
Forever
He doesn't know, what's left inside of his twisted mind
He doesn't know, what's left inside of his soul he can't define
We are the lack of the earth
We are a cancer
In the face of survival
We will not have an answer
In this play that I've brought you
Everyone is a victim
They live with denial
That no one can save them
They find a truth in a lie
Where everything lives
But no one survives
And with each passing breath
They know the storm will come
To take them away
We have one life to live
We don't have time
We won't ever save them
We watch death perform
I will show you their tale
Know that I hold the answers
To all of their actions
I am the creator
They have one thing to learn
And they will see
Karma is the only
Reasonable being
Three souls stand intertwined
Yet remain unaware
That each has touched their lives
Refusing to remember the pain
And with each passing breath
They know the storm will come
To take them away

Don't try and tell my twisted mind,
Because you know I'm not fine
Deep in my darkened soul.
Don't try and tell my twisted ways
Forgotten, who I am
And who am I supposed to be now.
I recognize the face with the memories
Fading, and all I can think is,
How it's my fault
Tell me now, that this is not real
I shouldn't be
Living out life
Full of hate rising through my brain
Someone stop this now!
I can't remember her face
But I recall the way she made me feel
I'm so confused, I was being used
From that moment on,
My innocence was lost.
I recognize the face with the memories
Fading, and all I can think is,
How it's my fault
I didn't know how I'd burn and
Stained, his skin with imprints
Of who he's supposed to be
This feels wrong, I don't like this
Why are you holding me?
Please let go of me.
I'm so sorry (No no no. I'm saying no.)
I'm so sorry
Please let go!
Fuck!!
This is why I'm like this
I never know what's safe
I never know what's right
I've never felt romance
It's always made me sick
When I turn around
I wonder if it's you
I recognize the face with the memories
Fading, and all I can think is,
How it's my fault
I don't feel joy anymore
I don't feel pain anymore
All I want is some peace
To say the fucking least
I want to die!

Everyday is the same routine
Get up, drink up, pour more, grind my teeth
Avoid his control, avoid his rage
And live to fight another day
But for what it's worth
No one seems to care
Instead they bitch and moan
And proceed to drown themselves
They won't even give a damn
They just want my attention
So they can pour another drink
For another slut who walks in
I down a bottle every night
To take away the pain
That I've been feeling in my chest
Ever since that day
That I became a monster
Who have I become
Where did I go wrong
What the fuck is going on in my head
Who have I become
Where did I go wrong
What the fuck is going on in my head
There’s no such thing as sane in this place
And as the scars weigh me down
I feel as light as air
Knowing that everything in my life
Is just despair, pain, and a false prophet
Nobody hears my cries for help each night at home
As he beats me senseless, left defenceless
Thank god I'm numb
Save me now
From this hell I'm living in
Don't have the strength to do it on my own, not alone, no!

He keeps on telling himself it's okay
But he's begging for something more
Forever and ever, he's not okay
But with these pills he can't see straight!
This world is only broken
There is no sense of repair
There is no salvation
You don't need me here!
He's hanging on a ledge
Block out all noise
Just walk away
So close to the bitter end
Don't run don't hide
You'll turn to grey
Our paths gone
There comes no return
I am your mind
I am your fate
Shaken, beaten to the death
There comes a time when it's too much
Cause through his past, his grave is made
Torn apart lost in a self of mind
So beaten and bruised he can't be alive
The one you've left behind
Is a waste of life
If you ever meet him
You'll want to die
So stay with me
Follow my lead
And together
We might live forever
He's hanging on a ledge
Block out all noise
Just walk away
So close to the bitter end
Don't run don't hide
You'll turn to grey
Our paths gone
There comes no return
I am your mind
I am your fate
Shaken, beaten to the death
Your God is dead
Your country, ruined
Run by fools
Who don't care about you
All that's left in the world
Is you, the absurd
Who live in fear
Of being feared
You are simply broken
And you're beyond repair
A head in the clouds
I think it's quite clear
You will fear death
You will fear the truth
Everything you love
Will always kill you
He's hanging on a ledge
Block out all noise
Just walk away
So close to the bitter end
Don't run don't hide
You'll turn to grey
Our paths gone
There comes no return
I am your mind
I am your fate
Shaken, beaten to the death
Someday you’ll thank me for this
For clearing your mind
You'll understand
The reason why
You don't exist

Betrayal

We live in a world, shrouded with hate
With no fear, and no resistance
We’ll never be saved
But can you hear my cries?
We’ve made a big mistake!
The roads we took have lead to this
The pain, the dread, the need for death
The likes of which will see it through
No one is save, not even you
And as this night stands still like air
He goes to take the knife to her
She tries to run, and she gets tossed
For now she bleeds against the wall
The way that the story ends
Is just another god damn tragedy
The way that the world begins
Is when we turn to look away
He sees her crying down the hall
And without thinking starts to run
Her lover quickly draws a gun
And he tries to jump in front
Straight through his heart
Laying dead there in her arms
A familiar touch, and she recalls
This is the one who she had scarred
She stares at him with hollow eyes
And looks up to ask him why
Filled with rage he cocks his gun
This is when her death will come
The way that the story ends
Is just another god damn tragedy
The way that the world begins
Is when we turn to look away
He breaks down his door
And heads towards the scene before
Stopping dead in his tracks
"That is my son!"
Now you know how they all died
And as you turn away, just try
To comprehend my story's done
And I'm the one holding the gun
We live in a world, shrouded with hate
With no fear, and no resistance
We’ll never be saved
But can you hear my cries?
We’ve made a big mistake!
