-Relapse- No banshee shriek or gentle wail No tears of blood or heartfelt prayers Can match this heart so full of grief Haunted by these memories... Days gone by, oppotunities missed From inattentive hands they slipped Or were they held and cast aside? God, drown me in this bloody tide! No amount of violence, anger, Devil cursing, angel slander No pleas sincere and wrought with strife Will raise you up and give you life... If only I could see its face Those bloody eyes I'd rip and rend Yet how sweetly you had met its gaze And to the Maker you were sent. Remember days as children passed The games we played and how we laughed

-Turnabout- Your knees, Bruise them bloody as you crawl to me Your eyes, Let's see them cry me rivers Your lips, Let's see them beg and quiver Your heart, Let's see it wrought with pain Your soul, Let's see it battered, stained, Your mind, Plummet into lonliness, Your ears, Bleed, as I utter this... 'Counterpart I'm free of you, but curious. In your saddened state what thing so precious bids you crawl on hands and knees and beg?' 'Is it company and love? Perhaps gentle eyes, a hug? Is it a gentle touch, complacency? could it be everything you denied me?' How does it feel, dear counterpart, to dangle above the precipic

-No Tears In The Rain- Strange how things get Slightly brighter After blackened skies let loose. Tears stop flowing, Anger's spent. Like Heaven and Hell have called a truce... Perched out in the backyard I'm sayin' 'hello' to the raindrops Wish I had a confidante To help ease these troubled thoughts... Instead I get sky-kisses That comfort every cry Silver clouds, a gentle wind and an ever-clearing sky. In the rustle of the grass I swear I hear you whisper In the shift of the wind I can almost feel you here Your voice says 'Hello sister.' And you're reaching for my hand Although all I see is air... I know that you are ne

-Anticipate- The anticipation's wreaking havoc. The uncertainty's invigorating me. The shields split; something slipped, All sprung suddenly from that unexpected kiss. Recollect the pieces. Not one of them's the same. What is this change? It's unpleasant, uncalled for, Unwanted... Craved... The inner workings changed, took shape. Without a sound, something took place. Am I flying high or falling down? What was I before, If now I feel awake? Tell all or say nothing? Lest the spell break... This path is so unknown, So full of grief. I take a step to find relief. How is it that a heart of lead, Hurt more than the one that

-Aftermath- A raging fire inside the heart Has cooled and now mere embers lie My baleful roar once so vindictive Was subdued into a harmless cry Amidst the smoke and ashes lay, The shredded pieces of love all frayed And trampled, burnt and not returned. Suddenly I'm nothing to you And suddenly I need you. I see all the wrong I’ve done It makes me empty inside The world is changing, Flipping over I'm drowning in its tide So be it fucked things up My love is not returned You found another, found something better... So let me languish here, and burn. My heart was once so well protected Till your absence broke my shield

-Anti-Spice Girl- She's made from sticks She likes to get stoned No skin to flash Just ounces of bone She needs more arms To hold those skid marks Just sniffed out a blood bath And she's hungry like the sharks She’s got a needle in her hand And thirteen stitches on the other The blackest heart on which she stands She puts the laughter back in slaughter Don’t talk about indecency Don’t lecture her on sin This girl is ready for a brawl She’s out for blood again

-Pursuit- I just have to find you. I've got to meet you face to face I've been searching for you everywhere... In every dead-beat place Where faces ragged, dry and drained Point out haggard hovels stained I feel like I've been dirtied From every single slum. Does this entertain you? Is my desperation fun? But you keep on leaving So I've got to keep on chasing You've just gotta keep on teasing It's no fun if I'm not racing.

-Loner- Iknew it would be That you would see In side my soul And walk away from me It happened gradually You thought of me less and less You got too busy with your life Caught up in the eustress Things were coming together for you Your world was nearing completion You've got everything you need Minus one exception You forgot it way back here When you left in such a hurry I picked it up and kept it safe There's no need to worry It's safe here in my hands This thing that you misplaced I'll keep it right here for you I'll keep it just in case One day you might remember But if you don't it's still right here The token of ou

-Fake- I’m livin’ fast I’m dyin’ slow I just about crashed Don’t leave me alone Get off my back Please, hold my hand I’m not gonna ask Tell me, where do I stand? You don’t give a fuck Please tell me that you care I’m out of patience, out of luck I’m in some trouble here I don’t need your sympathy Could you hold me for a while? That’s the look I hate to see Could you please give me a smile? But it doesn’t matter, cause I’m livin’ fast The sting lasts and lasts and it’s killing me slow It’s all in the past ... Don’t leave me alone.
