Spun Silk

Stuck forever in this place
Nothing's ever what it seems
Never peaceful, never safe
Demons haunt you in your dreams
Blood and bile are all you taste
Throat so tight you barely breathe
All you see is lain to waste
In this tangled life we weave

Unnamed creature takes its flight
Rousing death within its wake
Circling all in ever night
Scouring land for soul to take
In a world where nothing's right
Defiance muffled, silenced cries
No-one has the will to fight
Trapped in knotted web of lies

Misting everything I see
Ever cutting through the cloud
Bleeding, screeching over me
Quiet whispers scream so loud
Tainting all that there could be
Blackens heart with fear and rage
It won't ever let me free
Always prisoner in this cage..

Cynthia

,

Can't stand not knowing if she's really where they say she is.
Is she just in the ground, or is she safe, warm and His?
Is it your fault, their fault, or something unexplained?
Is well-placed self-guilt the cause of all your pain?

As you wake
From your bed
Tangled up
In your head
Just memories
Of the dead
Let her go..

But it's all
You can do
Guilt spreads fire
Within you
Though you know
It's not true
Let her go...

Life is mourning
Only woe
Once so strong
You don't know
How to just
Let her go
Let her go...

"Such a loss"
"Such a shame"
Where can we
Place the blame?
As you weep
With the rain
Swaddled up
In your pain
Nothing left
Here to gain
Let her go..

Can't feel
Your heart beat
You feel so
Incomplete
The child's gone
Ever sleep
"Such a nice girl"
"So sweet"
"May her soul rest
In peace!"

Some things we'll
Never know
You've got to
Let it go

Let her go...

The Fight


As my skin touches the pillow you awaken in my head
Jarring me from drowsiness and filling me with dread
I try to run, leave you behind, but carry you instead
You twist and scream
Distort my dreams
And all the things I've said

Compassion, a useless term
Just not meant to be
Rend it into bloodied shreds
Tear it out from me

I never asked for you here, yet you're present every day
Never really welcome but perhaps all for spite, you stay
Can't say I imagined things would ever be this way
I scream, I seethe
I'm trapped, can't breathe
In this body, cell, where I lay

Humanity, a dirty word
Writing's on the wall
Rot it slowly, suffocate
Just destroy it all

You fill me up with your rage, your hate, your shame
My convictions ablaze, I'm the one to blame
My heart, my head, my light, you rip, tear, maim
The empty receptacles of my soul the pawn of your game

We loathe all that's in this world
Stop the fight
It feels so right
Despise this light!
This room, this life!
This snivelling, wrong, nothing girl.

Ending Early


Was it your imagination?
What made you lose your head?
Did you think we wouldn't care?
Is life only good if it's dead?

I can't seem to make my peace at all
I know the tears won't always fall
And as you lie there evermore
Do you regret the mask you wore?

Did they make you hate yourself?
Did they push and call you names?
Was it simply from deep within?
Were you a pawn in God's cruel games?

I feel rage rotting deep inside
Hypocritical of me to hide
And as you lay there can you see
This isn't how it's meant to be

Did you feel quieted and ignored?
Were you trapped in this earthly hell?
Was it us, or them, or what?
Did life make you feel unwell?

I can't erase it from my mind
I know the world is too unkind
And as you're now so still, forever
Tell me, is it even better?

Martyr

Another idea I tinkered with for a long time, but yet again the notion is better than the end product. *shrugs*


Martyr

Like the talons around my neck
Teardrops tear softly at your skin
They'll kill you if they catch you
This evil must not win

Travel far, and please be free
Stay good and without pain
And as the life is choked from me
You mourn a sad refrain

Like the fires of hell my soul burns up
The pain seems too much to bear
They'll relinquish everything to him...
This eternity in his lair

Like so many evils we have slain together
The body reacts, a violent thrash
They'll poison my very being within
This hero, turned to ash

So run, child, and don't look back
You are from Heaven sent
And as my heart bleeds to purest black
You weep a low lament

Do not cry, son - I'm born anew
- With demons now I merge
And as I race to collect you
You scream a frantic dirge

You can run, boy, but ne'er hide
I am as one with them
And as we rip the life from you
You squeal your requiem...

Toy Soldier

In short, I got an idea and tinkered with it the best that I could. Don't you hate those days when you're unable to articulate understandably? :frown: .

Anyway, here it is:


Toy Soldier

Make them walk in line til they can walk no more!
Keep them working til you see a shine on that floor!
Have them stand out all night in the dark and the cold!
Keep yelling and screaming and they'll do as they're told!

Make it bleed, make it cry
Make that worm want to die
Make that miserable life have some worth!
Make it scream, make it claw
Make it beg for no more
Make it grateful to recieve your sick mirth!

That toy soldier was a very good cadet
It obeyed and "yes Sirred" without pause
Though once it marched along to the beat of your drum
That toy no longer plays for your cause...

You can shout all you need
Kick the maggot down
But he'll pay no mind to your taunt,
You can make the boy bleed
Wanna slap him around?
Well you don't always get what you want!

Well I think that by now it's learned
Now it tends to it's body, so sore
And although it's battle is fought on every day,
This soldier ain't a toy no more.

Deluded

They tell me it's normal that I'm so up and down
A smile and a laugh turned to a sob and a frown
"It's okay to be angry, to be lost and to cry"
But I don't see why it's okay for her to die

They tell me it's expected that I hate each one
Who is smiling and laughing letting life carry on
Even though they are not part of this thing
I don't want to see them happy, to laugh and to sing

I ask them how come it never worked for me
They answer "it wasn't your time, can't you see?"
So they're telling me she was destined to die
They're just telling themselves a comforting lie!

Don't tell me it's okay because none of it's fine
Don't tell me that this stuff happens all the time
I'm not fucking stupid, or young and naive
I've dealt with this more than they'll probably believe
Don't tell me it's better now she has no strife
Don't fucking tell me it's okay that she took her own life

D, Kii and Me

,

For Kii, who committed suicide 9 years ago, and D.


So many times I sat, knife in hand at night
Carving all my sorrow in
Still, now, they fill me with pain, hatred and fright
But yet, so far with me they did not win

These kinds of people
Walk this earth
They've tormented so many times before
Those kinds of evil
Filled with mirth
As in the past, there'll be forever more

And now they've taken you
And now you're gone
And all that I can do
Is write a song

Things got me down so bad, yet I told no-one
I kept it all locked up inside
It almost took me, how could I have been so wrong
I made it worse each time I lied

These kinds of things
So unfair
They've hurt so many people times before
The pain eats away
Too much to bear
It seems to rot us from the core

And now they've taken you
And now you're gone
And all that I can do
Is write this fucking song

And thinking about you
And this is all so wrong
And this just can't be true...

...And it's because of them
This unjust requiem...
