I’m a simple schizophrenic
In a sane state of mind
I live by contradictions
Incompletely intertwined
There’s a wave of emotions
Running through my veins
Destroying all that’s in its path
Yet everything remains
Just close your eyes, inhale my lyrics
I’m silently screaming out
Slightly far from tenuous
Are my words, without a doubt
Caught up in a choke-hold
Full of ambiguity and fear
Enchanted by addiction
I am [...]

I’m coming home but…I’m still spacebound in my own world!
Why am I still having serious feelings for the girl that left me!
Why do we all say love hurts when in reality it numbs the pain!
Why do we all cry for the person who will never take us back?
We all say this time will be different…but [...]

Unaware of my surroundings
sticking close to home
you keep your feelings confidential
you’ve left me here alone
learning how to breathe
we’re going on the air
with our beating hearts
and our empty stares
this is getting obvious
you’ve begun to second guess
watching my every move
you trace my every breath
caught up in a stalemate
our hearts gone from our sleeves
all we have is static
now [...]

Remember in the old days
When love was young and new
When I was all you needed
And all I wanted was you
Remember those nights spent driving
Along dark and deserted miles
Holding hands and falling in love
We were soaking up the smiles
Remember all those times
When we whispered in the dark
About life, love, and the meaning of
“We’ll never be apart”
Remember [...]

Entangled in a web of desolation,
Bearing the load of stammering relation..
Broken heart and aimless journey,
Life being a treasure trove of agony..
Silence is the fate of my desires,
Thy soul is burning in clump of fires..
Days shatter in the arms of remembrance,
Obstinate eyes blink and tears have dominance..
Struggling with glimmering nights is quite obscure,
Depressive loneliness often being [...]

I’ve been way too good on my game tonight.
Left you at home and that just aint right.
You the brightest star, no i aint gon lie
Theres something I still love in those big brown eyes.
Know you are the best i had.
Even when the others make you mad.
You said Im not the one who makes you [...]

Ripped and torn
Thrown on the floor
My heart is stone
I don’t need it anymore
So quickly we called it love
A million apologies will never be enough
This hole in my chest
Is slowly closing
I wish you the best
Even with my mind floating
Your eyes are drenched
As you sit here crying
What I would have never doubted before
I see as straight up [...]

Take a gun
Shoot my head
Maybe I’d be better dead
Take a knife
Slit my wrist
Baby I’m so over this
Toss that rope
Let’s make it quick
Leave my body in the ditch
Make them search
Make them cry
They’ll find me once the blood has dried
Eyes turned white
From heavy winds
Bruised and beaten
Limb to limb
I hope they sit around
And wonder why
I left without the [...]

Closing the door and glancing straight ahead,
Will not stop me from trying to snatch breath,
My ears still hear the creaking of the bed,
Why leave me to wait for my dangling death?
He is your choice yes! What a choice he is,
Your kids will call me uncle if I’m up,
Gold made your heart mine but now [...]

You don’t really know what True Love is…
until you get hurt by that one person,
but still love the person.
True Love is when you forget the pain that was caused,
and remember the smiles that were brought.
Cherishing that everyday and hope it will come back someday.
