BECOME ONE

BECOME ONE

Come and see just what you’re missing
I don’t bite unless you want me to
I left my inhibitions at the door
Now lay down and feast on ecstasy

Many have come and gone
Spoiled by my riches only to leave me broke
Never appreciating the endless perfection they possessed
Now lay down as I walk over you

Sit next to me, listen to your dreams come true
I don’t lash out unless provoked
I let you dig your own grave
Now enjoy the fruits of my labor

Many have come and gone
Told me what I wanted to hear only to lie a thousand lies
Never realizing the true love I gave to them
Now lay down as we become one

CHOICES

CHOICES

Some time has passed
You’ve surely moved on
To much worse things
It doesn’t get better than me

But tell me one thing
Do you still feel the same?
Do you feel at all?
Do you still think you made the right decision?

I put the words on the pages
And you closed the book
The choices we make mold us into who we are

Some memories have faded
I’ve not forgotten your name
To know I still feel
It doesn’t get worse than this

But share with me something
Do you remember my name?
Do you care at all?
Do you still wonder where I am?

I put my faith in you
And you let me down
The choices we make show others who we are

WE KNOW WHO YOU REALLY ARE

WE KNOW WHO YOU REALLY ARE

Go on and explain yourself
Pretend to justify your lies
Make yourself feel better
Sleep at night without worry

No one believes you
We know you’re full of shit
No one knows you like I do
We know who you really are

Keep talking, we’re listening
Only hearing the lies you believe
Make yourself feel alive
Sleep at the wheel without consequence

No one cares about you
We know you’re an abuser of souls
No one knows your secrets but me
We know who you really are

SOBER

SOBER

I wish I could get through this life sober
But every time I think things are turning around
They come out of the woodwork to tear down my happy

Words mean nothing and talk is cheap
If you want me, show me
If you don't, tell me
There's ten more where you came from

I wish for a happiness that eludes me to this day
But every time I think she’s arrived
They turn around and stab me in the back

You mean nothing and lies are expensive
If you know it, do it
If you fail, get back up
There’s a dime for another dozen of you

I wish I could sift through these memories sober
But every time I see your face
The pain and tears come rushing back

MUZZLE

MUZZLE

I live in seclusion away from it all
No one understands me and no one cares
I’ve got it all to give
No one wants it

It's quiet between these walls
But so loud inside my head
My wheels turn and turn
But I never move

I hate myself for caring so much
But I hate them more for not caring at all
My fists clench and shake
But I never get to use them

I could be living in perfect harmony
No one to destroy everything I build
I deserve that much
I’ll never have it

RECKONING

RECKONING

I can’t understand how one gets to be like you
The lies and deceit you harbor
The whores and the lonely you bed with
The trials and tribulations you pretend to be burdened with

I’m your nightmare
Your rude awakening
The judge, jury and executioner that’s here to right your wrongs

I can’t believe you thought you’d get away with this
The games and pawns you played
The fakes and the jokes you clamor with
The death and destruction you say you didn’t cause

I’m your reckoning
Your burning revenge
The fire, truth and blood that’s here to reign down on you

I’ll never make sense of how you sleep at night
The cold heart and barren soul inside
The vile and untrue you seek
The mind over matter you never grasped
