The Quit & The Demise of Grandpa Smokes- by: unknown forgotten

I said I would
So I have to
Dear Lord help me now

Today begins a new end
Tomorrow I must break ground
I'm doing this for reasons
I'm doing this for you
Help me now

Everyone under estimates me
This will prove them wrong
Jesus went 40 days without food
I can do that and more

Walking Into the Light- by: unknown forgotten

I don't feel alright
I'm in so much pain I'm bleeding out my eyes
I can't see a thing
Can't you see? Can't anyone see?
Are we all so blind?

Walking into the light
Peering through the red haze
I don't feel alright
That's why I must say my last goodnight
I'm finally going home

It's kind of like I'm dead
But I don't know it
And I'm the only one who doesn't know it

I find out for myself it hurts
For a lifetime

The Connective-Tissue Epimysium and Perimysium of the Ankle- by: unknown forgotten

No one has ever seen an ankle ache
Or seen an ankle weep
Like the ankle attached to that lengthy limb
Most commonly known as my leg

Oozing puss and thick heavy scabs
Achilles tendonitis and adidas sambas
Laying yourself down on concrete
To avoid the wild cars
Running miles and miles
Braces to restrict the swelling
I'll never be well again

No ankle stretch will ever stretch my ankle
No ankle will never stretch like this ankle doesn't stretch
The tense tendons tear to pieces
I can hardly walk
"Fuck, it hurts."

A hole in my ankle
Mutilated foot-wrist
I've been shot down
Which one of you hunters got me?

Secure- by: unknown forgotten

You remember how I crossed the tight wire without falling?
And when I ran across the crumbling rope bridge?
And that time I hung from a rope and traversed that building?
Or that time I jumped out of that plane with no parachute?
Or how I fought off those sharks with a pocket knife on a key chain?
And how I saved the president with a balloon full of shaving cream?
And how I drove that delivery truck full of bombs off a cliff and jumped out at the last second?
Or the time I single handedly took out that squadron of ex-marines?
And that time I lit the entire world on fire?
I won't go back there. I won't.

He Had A Knife But Never Used It- by: unknown forgotten

After the vicious dinosaurs
And after the creation of man
There was a ghost that lingered the earth
He lived for no reason but to be

He was a ghost that walked through trees
Stood in the belly of a tyrannosaurus
And walked on water at ease

He talked sincerely with triceratops'
He fell asleep with a family of brontosaurus'
And he slept in the beds of the first humans
Though he was a ghost,
And they never knew he was there

He crossed over tar pits
He walked to the tops of handmade towers
He made a call on a cell phone
Years before they ever existed

Shed a tear for the ghost that to this very day
Still walks about on this earth
On this crowded, confusing earth

Master Magician- by: unknown forgotten

Watch me vanish into thin air
I'm so good at it you won't even notice
Be it weeks from whence I've gone

I'll throw down a puff of smoke
Look into your eyes
And be gone forever

But really I slip out the back
Behind the black stage curtain you didn't notice
Through the emergency exit, I get in a cab

Into the abyss I ride
Never to be seen again
The greatest disappearing act ever performed

Into a state you've never been
After I'm gone I can do everything I've ever dreamed
Or so I think-
-that this new found lonesome freedom
will bring me all that I ever need

Time will tell, time will show the consequence
Of running miles and miles away
and refusing to look back at what was loved and never said

I've already done it once before
And I shall never do it again
Until the Lord calls me to His peace

Learn from my mistakes
The greatest magician who still failed

The Tides, The Wind, The Clouds Change- by: unknown forgotten

He looked through the rippling clouds
And saw the eyes of God looking down
He was beaten and tired
Ill and unhealthy
He looked into the moon as the Lord winked
And the world spun faster than ever before
To remove the clouds
To reveal stars never seen before
They were lined in a way to spell out your name
And the Lord struck him back
Falling to the ground He told him:
"Be the man I have created you to be.
You once knew what that was, but have forgotten.
Deep inside you can be great,
But you must find out for yourself."
And his spirit was broken
For he recalled a time in his life where he was everything he could be
Thus his spirit remained broken for some time
He wondered when it would be mended
He wondered when was the appointed time?

This Hollow State the Smile Will Wipe Away- by: unknown forgotten

I'm tired of waiting in this hollow state
Always pushing aside what I want to say
It's pulling my heart
To feel not so dead
You know what I mean
My plans are always ruined

My dreams are true
But inconsequential when it comes to the truth
It's making my heart heavy
When I don't let down and obey
You already know what I mean to say
It's breaking my heart
To feel not so dead
I'm trying to figure it out myself

It's pulling my heart
To feel not so dead
I need an extra tug
To feel alive again

Rise- by: unknown forgotten

The sound the sound
Drown me in the latter night
This day was wasted away away
Oh child of the sun or moon that beckons the wind
Draw forth an ethereal gust that will freeze any soul
So then it may be shattered on the morrow
Let loose the earth so that the whole planet may rejoice
And be prepared to burn a hole our in hearts if we do not rise

And I call out
"Rise! Rise Pheonix of the sun!
Such a fiery passion that never rests and lies within
You've singed my brow but it was not enough!"
I'm standing in a freezing tidepool
Help me out

But before you reach down
Slay your doubt
Sing your voice in forms we've never heard
Oh pheonix scorch this earth with everything you have

The sound the sound
It melts the ice
There is such glory in people who don't know they can confide
Myself included, I stand silently by your side

The Great Castle- by: unknown forgotten

Hello then there now where we are in this place
in this place there will be a castle we're going to build it
grab some tools and bricks and head over there that's where the tower will be
this castle will be great help me build it it will be great
hear my words someday we'll speak in the banquet hall we built
this castle shall be the largest of them all building over houses loved ones and all
we'll confine ourselves in the safekeep to be protected from our enemies
your enemies shall become mine and mine shall be yours
in this place will be a castle so strong so huge and mighty we'll make it
the castle's courtyard will be huge and full of grass we planted ourselves
help me raise this wall before midnight to keep infiltrators out
Hello it will be great help me build a castle it will be great

Glass Kid- by: Unknown forgetten

Glass child with smooth soft skin
Eat the glass, which is switched on your food.
And you hear angels roaring!
The glasshards in your stomach
Kills you for sure

Glass child with the taste for the life
Eat a bottleneck
The throat is torn up to the pieces
The blood, which pours out of your opening, could fill a bath tub
Hear the angel cry for joy!

To go glass child with any place to go
Go on roads of the broken glass
Hear the angels be pleased!
Each step, which forces far another piece inside more
and you'll be feeling it in your bones perforating
The trace of the torn meat takes you back home

Glass child, who would like to be pure
Shower in a gush of the glass
Wipe your good face off down
Glass fragments in a forced manner under your eyelids
Clean behind your ears
And you do not hear you do not see the angels any longer

Glass child with high hopes and dreams
Go sleeping in a bed of the broken windowpanes
Roll over slowly, or it cuts your back opened right
For a cover a load of the crushed crystal goods
Sleep firmly, which I can see by it, you're bleeding

Shock and Awe- by: unknown forgotten

Six feet and two heads and this thing was moving
It looked me in the eyes and took my soul
What a sight to see, then everything meant nothing
Such a marvelous beast it was
Long lashing tail and glowing manes
Six feet and two heads and this thing was moving
It took my soul and walked away

I've always been good at making the worst out of everything
Forgive me
Soon I'm going to try something new
It could make things better, or continue on even worse
Forgive me in advance if you can
And pray
I don't want it to be a self destruction plan

Dark Clouds Revisited- by: unknown forgotten

Darks clouds are gathering overhead
And since that first day
When the sky blackened beyond belief
I have been running around blindly
And though I sometimes think I know where I am going
I am just stumbling around in the dark

Gray Skies Are Flooding- by: unknown forgotten

I broke down inside
Sitting in that truck I wept
The heater blowing on my feet
I hung my head and tears ran down my cheeks
I was feeling low

Face in my hands my heart wrenched
And as the first raindrops fell
I shed my first tear in years
It felt so good
Even though I was feeling low

Sometimes I am so silent and stiff
That I start to worry myself
This social anxiety is breaking me
I just can't make myself move

I would prefer the faith of one
Over the faith of the masses
As long as it is true

The Silent War- by: unknown forgotten

The speaker vs the thinker
The thinker vs the dreamer
The dreamer vs the failure
The failure vs nothing
Nothing versus everything
Everything versus the dreamer
The dreamer starts to think
The thinker speaks

No one ever sees how the tongue is bitten
How the jaw clenches until it aches
They only see the breach
And the lack of speach
But not the fear versus the strong brigade

Have I become arbitrary?

Dreamland & Portrait- by: C. Crisci

(i know that the time is right
and I wanted one more day
i know that the time is right
and you were so lost
for all the times I tried to find the reasons why
and I found you instead of this lie
the reasons why I will not forget)
-
hammers and nails
I've used them for building my face this time tomorrow
when I see you again outside
and inside I can hide my sorrow
found a way I could come back
catch your eye it's just the same as reminding me of what I wanted...
-
tried my list of excuses
ran outside lost in pain
put it on turn up the music
laugh and laugh about how I was...
-
"It's what you are my friend
things change you know
don't stand around and wait
take a step
one more step
don't fall down
balance now
there's no denying this is what you are."
-
I have come
and I am here for you
the sovereign low
the time has come
the serenade begins
here I am
dressed the fool and what I say is wrong
i am not the one you're looking for
the cool one
the fine one
i am just this man
i am just this man
incomplete and unsubstantial
and I am here for you.

Here we are
Free from our past
Free from our future too
Now what do we do?

Little Rat, Quickly Rat- by: unknown forgotten

Lay low rat
Hide and duck
Don't make a peep
Wait a couple days
And if you're caught run like the wind

Or fight
Jump and dance
Bury yourself in the brush
Tuck through the hole no one else fits
And bite the hand that grabs you

Little rat
We both know you're waiting to be caught
Wanting to eat the poison
Wanting to lay your own traps
Snap your neck under the springs set

Find the others in hiding
Show them there's nothing to fear
Love them, make a family
And damage the standards as you will

I am the only one that has the power
Save Gods will
And I refuse to destroy myself

You see?
I can make a terrible noise
I can scream into the Heavens

Mine Dreams- by: unknown forgotten

I can't touch the sky
It's so far, so cold

But I can only deliver the truth
That the sky has told

In my dreams
In my nights layed with cold sweats

I awake only in the moment
That shows your face

The nightmares are gone
The trouble is over

You are the character of my dreams
And I wish you never waver

Making the Most Of Thus- by: unknown forgotten

Dear Lord
What a night

In the midst of my destruction you came
You came along and brought light
If you hadn't shown you ethereal presence
Never would I have survived such a night

I stood in a lot of quicksand this eve
I put myself in the death trap that incinerates
I faced my enemies
I faced my friends
I stood before my faults yet held up my legs

Without you my knees would have buckled
You don't understand the strength you withhold
Oh triumph that it itself does not know
I am alive on a night I would never show

Even though you departed early
You gave me strength to shine on
You nearest to me, your face into mine

How does God show his beauty?
He does show it through yours and thine

The Organs Hum and the Highest Key- by: unknown forgotten

I'd like you all to see one day
Such is when no one else is around
Me huddled over those electronic-
what was once ivory, now plastic
-tubeless analog machine that plays notes with ease
My back curved to the shape of a crescent
My head hanging limp at the neck
Watch these eyes as they glaze over profusely until I can't see a thing
But I'm watching my fingers blaze beneath
Not understanding where they're going but watching nonetheless
The amplifier projecting beyond it's means
And piercing not only the air and walls but what lies beneath
And the moment I begin to sing
Screaming and bellowing, striving to stay in key
The madness that pours out from soul
My feet tapping and dancing unable to keep me down
Fighting body and mind to keep everything aligned
To the moment my ears begin to pain and ring
And I'm nearly falling off the bench seat
When my mind is swallowed up in the mass of destruction
The words become unscripted and incomprehensible
The vocals rip my throat to shreds and bleed
The tune may change and become something entirely else
In the fury the song no longer matters
But the emotion put forth would tear your heart
As so it does mine and when i turn off the power
Of that old box that I pound upon
And the tears I never shed are resting upon my eyelids

The old box even hums when it's turned off
And I stand up slow
Wiping my eyes clear again
And walk out clear headed once again
The sound and substance shattering all the stresses I held

My favorite memories are in my dreams
The ones I have been too cowardly to make real

We stand on two opposite edges of the same canyon
We started at the same point and walked around in a different directions
Along our journeys we've been beaten and grown weary
Taken the wrong paths and gotten lost in the thicket
But I can see you across the divide and we're both still moving
I'll meet you when we come back around
It's not that much further

Red, Like Roses- by: The Velvet Teen

each night i close my eyes and wonder what will come of me in days to follow
i lay awake and after countless hours, i just can't think straight
turn in, fade, pass out
yet, in this simple way, we offer
to destroy all we can't figure out
in our simple lives, unconscious
we employ our skills from underground
to seek what we've never seen
to explore, deep inside

the mornings greet me with grey days and tear-stained windowsills and pillowcases
i get dressed and go to work
bloody noses, red like roses pose as sanctuary
when i just need a minute to myself
and in this simple way, we offer
to destroy all we can't figure out
in our simple lives, unconscious
we employ our skills from underground
to seek what we've never seen
to find, where we never knew
to explore deep, inside

kill me, won't you kill me
kill me
let me sleep again
kill me
don't relate your memories
kill me
kill me won't you
to see
what we've never seen to find
where we never knew to go
where we never dared to explore
deep...

I am afraid of you
In the worst of ways
But I endure
For I believe in the greatest of days

Candy for the Wolves- by: unknown forgotten

Candy for breakfast
Bring out your dead
Candy for breakfast
Bring out your dead

It's mid day already
Grab your shotgun
It's almost dark again
Grab you sidearms and other firearms

Got to got to run faster
Got to outrun the wolves
Imperatively got to got to run faster
Got to outrun the vicious wolves

Lock the doors
Mark them with blood
Hide the children in the attic
Give them candy for breakfast

Bring out your dead
Run around the picket fence
Bring out your dead
Try to find an open gate

Got to got to run faster
Got to outrun the wolves
Very much need to have to run faster
Got to got to outrun the devouring wolves

I stood beneath the overhang, Stood in the silence and watched it fall
It snowed like you said it would, It was depressing as it melted away
I lit the rest of the cigarette I had started hours earlier before

Be Thou My Vision-

Be Thou my vision
Oh Lord of my heart
Not be all else to me
Save that Thou art
Thou my best thought
By day or by night
Waking or sleeping
Thy presence my light

Riches I heed not
Nor mans' empty praise
Thou my inheritance now and always
Thou and Thou only first in my heart
High King of Heaven
My treasure Thou art

It is not the weather
Nor the day to day that scares me
But what I can not, though I want to
It is what I can not vocalize

And in this plan I seperate myself from own reality
Abondon all trickery that lies there within
And awaken a new man, the same man,
But free of all the misconceptions I have become to believe

Frozen Winter Water -by: unknown forgotten

Goodnight
I'll drink all the water you can't withhold
Together we're healthy
Some day full of life so strong it's unknown

Hope I don't freeze in the morning
Susceptable to darkness and shadows
Dodging ice formed from still water
If I do I'll think of you and turn solid

With a soul so hidden
And a face so beautiful embedded in mind
Pray ice never touches it
Like I recieve every morn'.

From the Heavens He controls the world
Matched whom shall be cold
Slide on ice
Or slip right into one another

More than this
There is something out there
And it never goes away

There is a question I've been asking myself.

Cheers to what we have-

If this life is all the world can dish out,
then I am stressed
And I'm cracking
But not broken

Hope-

Days will pass
What do I do next?

He refused to run
The doctor told him his heart was big
He already knew it

I'm always ready for the cold weather
I'm never ready for the cold hearted
Myself included

All my life I've been standing two feet off the world
Hovering above what I would love to know

Have you passed though this night?- from: The Thin Red Line

This great evil,
Where does it come from?
How did it steal into the world?
What seed, what root did it grow from?
Who's doing this?
Who's killing us?
Robbing us of life and light?
Mocking us with the sight of what we might know?
Does our world benefit the earth?
Does it help the grass to grow and the sun to shine?
Is this darkness in you too?
Have you passed through this night?

Have you passed though this night?

(Sooner than) Later Becomes Plausible- by: unknown forgotten

The thing about you is
I'll believe anything you say
Be it a lie or the truth
I don't care
I care too much
The thing about you is
I'm afraid too much

No one I know has ever seen this heart of mine
And times have changed
Only God can predict the times
That's where my heart lays

Add more destruction points.

1, 2, 3, 5, 4...

Add a destruction point.

The Perfect Plan-

It was another one of those great ideas that I never executed
It was perfect, virtually flawless
But timeliness was necessary
And gumption too
I don't really have any of that right now

That subtle eye twitch is back
I don't know where it's coming from
But i'm figuring out how to get rid of it
And that's good if it works

I say too much.
But tell me all you've heard.

You- by: unknown forgotten

I don't really know you
But since I first met you
I would like to say I'm beginning to hate you
Not that I have proof against you
But I can feel you
Working against me all the time it ends up to be you
And everything I wanted to be is cut short by you
I'm really beginning to hate you
You could never tell by the way I greet you
Those beady eyes of yours
The way, out of nowhere, came you
Where there was no one, now there is you
You are everywhere
And I hate you
I hate me because you came in from nowhere

Game Over Imminent- by: unknown forgotten

You can keep on fooling myself
But I'm learning
And if the rules don't soon change
And with what I've been seeing
I'm almost out of the game

Do you even believe in the ultimate game
It's called life and controled by God
He thrashes me all the time
Strikes me down but keeps me alive
I hope you haven't forgotten who's in control

I'm running around
Trying to flex the boundaries of what is real
And what is His game and what is yours
I'm terrible at reinforcing the truth
And I surely don't want to shame you
But don't use me ever again as a pawn in your game
Because if I can't ever win I'm out of your game and soon

Saw-

Hack
Band
Jagged

filter- by: unknown forgotten

Listen, listen!
The world is crumbling
Oh fuck we're all going to die
Listen!
I'm losing terribly at life
And I just want to...
Listen for a moment!

-

I just wanted to say
That, um, well
I, well...
I've been thinking, er,
I was wondering,
Oh you don't even care,
Never mind.

No Context-

I agree when they scream
"Burn it down!"
-

"...and scrutiny of some sort."
"You are an asshole."
-

He said: "Then you wouldn't fight for another?"
"No, I would if there was reason. I will not fight for what I don't understand, believe, or care about."
-

"I've never known the difference between felt and velvet."
-

"You are an asshole, but I still like you."
"I know that, but I don't know what to do."

"Wait a fuck."
"What?!"

Ouch.
Add destruction points.

Destructive Love- by: unknown forgotten

I believe in love and self destruction
One must come before the other
Destruction for the absence of love
Love to thwart the destruction
Hand in hand, like love
They work together

Destruction is a form of creation
Destruction is fun
Love is better

I feel sorry for you
Almost as much as I feel sorry for myself

Sometimes I wish I could teleport.

Entering A New Terrible Same Old Year- by: unknown forgotten

Welcome to this
The end of the world
And I am an asshole
I am sorry

Through humbling talks
And drunken walks
This is the future
