Hate.
You make me feel so out of place
You turn my pride into disgrace
I’ll put you right back in your place
Fate
It falls right back from hate.
And takes’s in comfort’s place
The anguish in disgrace
It lead me back to
Hate.
You make me feel so out of place
You turn my pride into disgrace
I’ll put you right back in your place
Faith
Is lacking on my face
And feeds into your hate
To prove how much you hate
It leads you back to hate.
Why can’t you
Just show me
How much you care?
About hate
You make me feel so out of place
You turn my pride into disgrace
I’ll put you right back in your place
I’ll show you someone you should hate.

Embracing Turns In Teal
04:25
|
|||
|
Here now
is where we'll start again.
you can fear it,
disguise it,
and feel it pull you back
way beyond belief.
I'm trembling
straight to my knees
awaiting your embrace.
we were always here ignored.
we were both once here before.
falling
into the places we've stood still.
you struggle,
and tremble,
and feel me ache
awaiting your misery.
i taste you
and you smell of victory
while i smell of defeat.
we were always here ignored
we were both here once before.
…was it you before?
a falling fate's appeal
a simple fucked up plan
a disguise colored teal.
a local music scam
we're stained with footprints here
from when you cut above
you took our place in line
rendered us unloved.
why don't you wait your fucking turn.
wait your turn.
until you deserve.

For You
05:10

Whatever it is that you’re hoping to be
Well, I’m here and I’m hoping too.
I’d give up anything to know what you’re thinking.
‘cause right now I’m thinking only of you.
So, are you thinking of me?
We’re giving up to all we see
When it took you to inspire me
When all I’ve ever wanted was you
All I need is you.
Whatever it is that you’re asking of me,
Well, I’m here and I’d give it to you.
Show me something more than what I would think of
Prove now our love is up to you.
Are you thinking of me?
We’re giving in to all we see
When it took you to inspire me
When all I ever wanted was you
When all I need is you.
Whatever it is that you’re hoping to be
Well, I’m here and I am hoping for you.
I’d give up anything to know what you’re thinking
‘cause right now, this is all for you.
So, are you thinking of me?
We’re giving up to all we see
When it took you to inspire me
When all I’ve ever wanted was you
When all I need is you.

Between Us
05:44
|
|||
|
Over & over
I feel the same old dirty sting.
All from the pain that
You were always meant to bring.
I can’t say now
What it is you’d say to me.
All your words, they
Always seem to break thru me.
Falsed devotions
Faked emotions
What a notion?
You’re so in love
Falsed devotions
Faked emotions
What a notion?
You’re not in love
How I felt you
Being ever so insincere
I can’t help it
If I think of you, my dear
Give in right now
To what you’ve been trying to prove
‘cause sooner or later,
You know we’ll both bound to lose
Falsed devotions
Faked emotions
What a notion?
You’re so in love
Falsed devotions
Faked emotions
What a notion?
You’re not in love
Is anything still true?
I meant this all for you…
What between us is true?
All I want is
To be what you wouldn’t expect
But now, I know that
I was always meant to forget.
Give in, just once
To the way it is you feel
If you admit it,
Then we might be able to deal.
What is it between us that I don’t know?
Whatever’s between us, I just don’t know.
What is it between us that I don’t know?
Whatever’s between us, I just don’t know.
I don’t know.

There’s just something about you that hurts me
Over and over again
She sometimes gives me something to hope for
And still I hurt inside
After all, she’s the one who can see thru
Whatever I might hide
And every time that I hear her voice now
It makes me ache all over
She doesn’t feel the same ways like I feel
I’m trying hard to feel for her
There’s just something about her that hurts me
Every time and over again
Still, I stand here with arms wide open
Over and over again
I just don’t think you’d understand
There’s just something about you that hurts me
Over and over again
Still I’m standing with arms wide open
Over and over again
And this thing that’s inside you still hurts me
You grow colder each day by day
And every time that I feel you closer
I feel as if I can’t escape.
I just don’t think you’d understand.

One More Chance
06:31
|
|||
|
And now he knows just how it feels
To own in all
The comfort in his self-defeat
Intolerable
And how he opened up his arms
To find her gone
And one more chance he’s asking
To prove it wasn’t wrong
He’s never ever wanted more
than I could ever give in
He’s never ever wanted more
Than I could ever give him
He’s never ever wanted more
Than I could ever give in
To what’s hurting you…
And now he knows just how it feels
To owe it all
The comfort in his self-defeat
So untolerable
And how he opened up his heart
To find her gone
And one more chance he’s asking
To prove it wasn’t wrong
He’s never ever wanted more
than I could ever give in
He’s never ever wanted more
Than I could ever give him
He’s never ever wanted more
Than I could ever give in
To what’s hurting you…
Whatever leads you down
Is bound to turn around.
We’re always searching but we’re
Always lost, not found.
You never know just what you’ve got
Until it’s gone.
It doesn’t matter ‘cause
Whatever’s done is done.
Just one more chance
To make amends
Just one more chance
To try and be with you
To be
With
You.

Some Real Life Poetry
04:23
|
|||
|
And here’s to all those things
In life I render so unfair.
And how I’m teased from day to day
With what I just can’t have.
I’m bound to struggle with my thoughts of her
And of her hair.
To which the smell compares to no other,
And leaves me in such dispare.
And all I wanted was a sample
Of real life poetry
And it feels so great to share with you
Something that they can’t see.
And it feels so great to feel the air
From your mouth breath with me.
And how I cherish every waking moment
That you’re right here.
And how I love to watch you sleep
And feel you be sincere.
And nothing compares to certain days
And just how good it is you can be.
And all I wanted was a sample
Of real life poetry.

Forward this day
And kneel down to pray
If you feel it helps
Then so be it…
Hold this moment in time
And remember this sting
It’s meant as a laugh
At any moment you’d bring
Experimenting on our fate
To disappoint your mental state
And fear not only what you’d bring
When does this prayer end and begin..
God, if you’re out there
Stop mocking me
With your cruel creations…
(God) if you’re out there
stop mocking me
With your cruel creations…
Hold yesterday
So I can live it again
Let’s start over
At where we once began
‘cause this pulse is weakened
and you heart feels faint
Is this how it’s done?
Don’t you understand?
Don’t underestimate
The power of disbelief
Experimenting on our fate
To disappoint your mental state
And fear not only what you’d bring
When does this prayer end and begin?
When all I’ve wanted was to believe
But day by day, it’s harder to conceive
In faith that stands behind our fate
I’m on my knees for your own sake…
Well, I got it…
Yeah, I got it
But it wasn’t that funny…
God, I got it (forget me)
Yeah, I got it (forget me)
But it wasn’t that funny…
(I forgot you…)

Obsolete
04:55
|
|||
|
Always wrong (you take what you need, now I’m down on one knee)
With something gone (you want more from me, sucked dry & left me empty)
I’m missing you (you take what you need,& left me obsolete)
What else is new?
I’m overblown and in this fragile state
I’m about to blow up & I’m about to faint
Always wrong
With something gone
I’m missing you
What else can I do?
I’m overblown and in this fragile state
I’m about to blow up & I’m about to faint
This image of us seems so obsolete
When you return, will it make us both complete?

A Prayer For Rain
04:06
|
|||
|
(And) here’s to the rain
To help wash away
This bitter taste
And this stale membrane
Of what lies beneath
This stained surface and skin
And help clean the sin
And what
I once
Believed
In
|
||||
11. |
||||
|
Try so hard to see
The struggle from within.
And the thoughts of no one else
Thinking of me…
Well, something’s got to give
Because my body feels faint.
Attempting to believe
But where’s my faith?
And god
It’s hard
Forgive me
Now
When
I
Turn my back…
So please forgive me
For feeling thoughts of doubt
And testing my own will
It’s not what I’m about.
Is this her disguise?
Are you glimpsing me with fear.
Of failure yet to come.
The failure deep within..
Me…
(fuck them)
I’m anti-everyone.
God help me
God show me
God help me…
Please show me..
To see thru her disguise
And see myself within…
I’ve heard of better dreams.
And I heard of a better place.
When else can I see
This.
There’s only 2 times
When this better place exists
Both when I close my eyes.
Or when I feel your embrace…
(fuck that!!!)
I’m anti-everyone.
Sick sick sick
Sick sick sick
