Shallow Breaths make a mock of the body You have neglected Blood Shot Eyes Have no sight Hope Wisps Of smoke Purple Lilac But what would one know? Green with Envy Of a broken Man How could you be such a fool? The rain turns to snow and Nothing Grows He Spreads His Black Wings and a Shriek that tears through a Lifetime Wracked with Sleepless Sweat soaked and Desperate Keep a reminder A familiar face Never Go Alone the fool forgets this Could you look back To the Moment Where one was so young and so scared To live it again and again and again Existing In spite of, Not Because of Just want to be a Priority Could you look behind and never return? The Faint Glimpse in the Distance it could prove to be a Life Line

Smock Faced Amoroso Durevole di tenerezza For old, wrinkled, wan And walking on water A wolf in the wool A lamb for the slaughter And would it mean more If he were your daughter This smile it masks A splintered crushed coffer And when did I ask, this faustian offer They won't see And the Gods They kill us for sport If your eyes could see The face in the ground If your ears could hear Hollow shaking sound Conceit of reason would flounder and wilt The driving black hate that takes one to the hilt Though nothing was sate The absence of guilt Blood wept from his pores The indifference He lay still on the floor The illusion of Sense There is No Release If just for a moment For a moment you could see If just for an instant One in which you found some peace

Look For A Safe Place There Is None You should know Better Than to Hope Who's Losing Look Closer Simp Pathetic Nervous Overdrive His Scream Echoes In Your Mind Now Who is At this Moment Looking, Looking for you With a Pistol You thought you could just get away? Somewhere Better Is Slipping Away In your eyes You see Someone Someone who is So Ugly Someone who wants To be Loved like Any other If you knew what that was Could you be better Apply the Lesson Give yourself Love Here they are To Take your life Are you ready? To Die? It's In Your Hands From Here You wont Hide Face the Fear Its the Time

All the words Seem to tip toe and crawl The dripping of time Makes you Weaker Weaker Straps at my knees I struggle to see In this darkness surrounding, enveloping, bleak and the dank smell of decay and the rats that do bite from behind The seed of death Is alone in your head That you wither Wither Solicitations, services sought in the shadows you give everything Everything everything, to this Useless Creature A familiar face A look in the eye And thats how you know The next one to die The old man buries his son Beige and Brown Paint on her face But Pain in here eyes And given the place You won't have time to mourn him music and lyrics by Austin Fender

Black is their Hearts Strong is their Hate We are too few We are too late Unseen Violent Inside Wasted the time Wasted a life Choked Gasping for air Where is the light High as a kite Attempt in Vain To douse the fire The flames they grow Higher, Higher Think your life is so poor? Think you can't fall anymore? You'll fall on right through the floor Diseased and Covered in Sores Cold Sweat Changes Sweeping Souring Weeping Strangers called themselves Friends Now Distanced Patience Draws thin End this Downspin Here is the place your faith will die but its not Time You must leave this place you must leave it now tonight You can Change it If you just leave it to Fate You've already entered the gates find the strength to defy No Choice in how you will die only in how you will live what you are willing to give give it all and some more then you'll get up off the floor Defy Choose To Fight There's a bullet thats marked with your name A reason for all of the pain A reason for all of the moments that don't add up Feelings that burn that pierce The yearn to feel You won't be abandoned and left in the lurch Out of pure Spite There's no quit in this fight Never stay down Ever Forward If you lie here You will die here Black is my heart I'm crueler than fate The reasons are pure It's never too late It's never too late
