Dragons Protect me from Towers

trees protect me from forest
wolf protect me from piglets
devil protect me from evil
darkness protect me from the night

light protect me from shadow
coin protect me from hunger
charmer protect me from magic
dragons protect me from towers
[but what protects me from fairy-tales?]

but i need to see
the bare ugly truth
face of enemies
and stare in it's eyes

to defeat evil
I must be aware

She Writes her Heart

she watched her rainbow fade
like sand through her fingers

stop picking flowers, they die in your hands

she tells herself, that it's not worth it
but she's the one, that feels worthless

stop picking flowers, they die in your hands
slipping through like sand, stop picking flowers

she does not understand, this dead love in her hand
left stunned there in the sand, neck deep beneath, no chance

she never wanted it to end this way
wanted to hold on but he's looking away
all she wanted was the truth and to solve
she never wanted it to end at all

she writes her heart; in black ink, on lined paper

he's not yours, she needs to realize
he's not yours, she needs to realize
he's not yours, not anymore
she needs to realize, that she is me, she is me, she is me (overlapping)

it's not worth the tears in my pillow
you don't want me, I'm dropped so easily
it's not worth the tears in my willow
but still I'm drenched, drowning in it

I tell myself, it's not worth it
I am the one, that feels worthless
tears fertilize my floor warping boards
you don't love me, it doesn't add up to what I've seen
tears fertilize my floor warping boards
love leaks out eyes, pain seeps in chest

and he will never know what this is like
unless he has been there
until he has been here
maybe he once was here

slowly I'm leaving up the icy slope
with cut up feet and frozen hands
I want you to be happy
don't pretend anymore
and when you find it
I hope it finds you too

she writes her heart in black ink on lined paper

let this end graceful like a pond of swans
soft and beautiful like a peaceful song

Vampire Elegy

[Verse 1:]
All alone... I am a shadow in the dark
All alone... Afraid to touch the light
All alone... Outcast in my own skin

[Chorus:]
hiding in my cave
afraid of the light
my home is my grave
alone in the night

the world's against me
they don't understand
you can set me free
take me by the hand

[Verse 2:]
All alone... In my coffin closed to this world
All alone... In scilence in my cave
All alone... I want you here with me

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
Been dead for so long
Everything feels so wrong
I need you like blood
I am pleading for love
Save me

[Chorus]

For Once to Feel Whole

I don't know where to go from here
looking for something not there
all I want is for once to feel whole

there's something missing I know
I feel so alone
and time drags by slow

I don't understand
the feeling of bliss
but I know inside
it's nothing like this
it's nothing like this

I see the life around me
just beyond my reach
forbidden fruit in the tree
looks tasty to me

I don't understand
the feeling of bliss
but I know inside
it's nothing like this

I just want to know
what it's like to feel whole
maybe for a second
to lose control

I just want to know
what it's like to love
witness the life it gives
I feel dead inside

Thunder after Lightning

[Intro:]
listen to the thunder
lightning drawing near
thunder after lightning
screaming in your ear

[Chorus:]
blade is not the start
cut is not the wound
blood is not the loss
scars are not the end

[Verse 1:]
you hide behind your wall of lies
disguise the fall to your demise
by forcing smiles that want to cry

[Verse 2:]
you brace yourself awaiting bane
behind the barriers and chains
so weak from tyranny and pain

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
can't prevent the past
can't fix shattered glass
but the storm can pass

[Chorus 2:]
blades don't cause problems
scars don't tell it all
listen to thunder
tear down your brick wall

thunder after lightning

[Outro:]
listen to the thunder
fading from your life
look towards the future
embrace the sunlight

Deep Emptiness

intro:
sexual temptation
physical stimulation
deep emptiness

verse:
seek to feel complete
emptiness runs deep
you're mindless and weak
our future looks bleak

filthy lies swallowed
so blindly follow
what you think you feel,
is hollow

chorus:
victims pray in vain
begging god to save
gave you soul to sell
building you own hell

no heaven above
no hell below
heaven and hell are in your head
don't waste your life as though you're dead

verse:
disgusting disease
you slowly conceive
your false thoughts believed
deny the help you need

there is no excuse
this is what you choose
when you think you win,
you lose

[chorus]

bridge:
feel them heed and obey
see them hate and shiver
full of greed, full of shame

hear them weep in pain
feel them quake and quiver
full of greed, full of shame
deep emptiness

there's no excuse
there's no excuse
there's no excuse

someone's daughter, someone's son
someone's baby, someone's mom

outro:
victims pray in vain
begging god to save
there's no excuse

In the Light of Hope

in the wind, in the rain
without a house to stay
in the wet, in the cold
the aftermath of the storm

in the heat of the sun
but the damage can't be undone
in the shadow of the night
wondering when it will feel right

in the darkest of days
we'll stand together always
in the light of hope
helping those who need it most

One Rose

One dead rose stands in my room.
Eleven others tossed away,
only this one remains.

Even dead, this rose is beautiful.
It's once red petals turned to burgundy.
It now faces down, it lost strength long ago.

One dead rose stands in my room.
It's delicate, but I still keep it.
And I will still keep it,
until no bond is left.

Valentine Mine

what's wrong?
what's wrong he asked me x3
what's wrong?

something's wrong but I don't know
I am confused
it doesn't feel right

what's wrong he asked me
but I stood scilent
he walked away

february fourteenth
silenced with a click
he refuses me

turning outside in
a phone to my ear
and burning wet eyes

I lay in by bed
as you're out with friends
I cry to myself
and bury my head

most romantic day
passing once a year
I wish you would stay
I wish you were here

Just Breathe

in this world there're sharks who
would love to push us down
hold us under water
but we refuse to drown

rise aboove and show them
who you are
they want you to -stand in line
they want you to -beg for air
they want you to -forget life
they want you to -become theirs

((don't give in... don't give up))

Breathe the water
in life and death
be the martyr
in life and death
die for life

they want to consume you
they want to see through you
they want you to bleed their blood
so their pain is your pain
as they show all they know
in this cycle of lies

they create their fate
water fills their lungs
you decide your own
breathe... breathe... breathe, just breathe

Don't Ever Stop Dancing

don't ever stop dancing
(good luck to you my dear)

you warm me up inside
and stir around my life
fill me in like crayons
make me smile wave a wand

we can paint with our lips
anticipate each kiss
hold each other so tight
do not let go tonight

as I lay here beside you I
do not want to be without you

when I was lost I could not see
I found myself then you found me

You showed me how you cared
even when you weren't there
now you tell me it's done
before it has begun

I care for you so clear
good bye to you my dear
don't ever stop dancing
whatever life may bring

good bye to you my dear

Dragons Protect me from Towers

trees protect me from forest
wolf protect me from piglets
devil protect me from evil
darkness protect me from the night

light protect me from shadow
coin protect me from hunger
charmer protect me from magic
dragons protect me from towers
[but what protects me from fairy-tales?]

but i need to see
the bare ugly truth
face of enemies
and stare in it's eyes

to defeat evil
I must be aware

Vultures

parents gather 'round the fire
let me tell you a chilling tale

they are lustful
circling above our heads
watching, waiting
for someone to drop dead

they swoop to the ground
regroup what they found

vultures circle 'round and 'round
round and round, round and round
the kettle churns round and round
round and round, round and round
and no one learns

in their eye they're only birds
in the sky they're predators

they hang in the sky
casting shadows on the weak
and when they're caught red
picking flesh off the carcass
so often let by
back into society

they swoop to the ground
regroup what they found
where are your kids now?

Rainbow

if there was no storm
if there was no rain
if there was no light
there would be no rainbow

it was worth the hail
it was worth the cold
it was worth the wet
I can see the rainbow
painting color in my world

with myself without you

solitary harmony

ever since that day
it crumbled away
I have looked too far
for what's in my heart

finally at peace
with myself
without you

there's nothing now
nothing left now
but time to live
my life to live

nothing else I need to say
makes no difference anyway
because I'm doin' ok

Tightrope

I walked this tightrope, so long
forgot how far down, ground was

look down and tiptoe, no net
tension is rising, in tent
my heart's as taught as, the wire i walk

and now the clown who, crowned me
pulled out his scissors, and made a choice

parasol can't help me no
parasol can't help me now
