Press your lips

Against my girlfriend

I am sad

That you live your life this way

Leave me alone

I don't care

I need some peace

Please don't go

Go away

No more mystery

Why must I know?

Life should be left unknown

Create some hate

I swear I'm not to blame

Leave me alone

I don't care

I need some peace

Please don't care

Go away

Zero in on the world

Concentrate on my thoughts

Interrogate the mind

No confusion be bought

Answer all of my questions

With the insides that are pure

Living in a mural

While I'm dragged to the other shore

Do not forget me

For reaching beyond the sin

I'll peak in the doorway

Let god save itself

The night's shade crosses

The day's clouds to be free

These people are slipping

Into a ball of insanity

Oh god forgive me

For reaching beyond the sin

For reaching behind the self

They hope society

Can be rolled away in shame

Bend it over and auction off

Your garden's private stain

It may be sterile

You're the man she'll never know

If you're engine's successful

There's a peak in through the door

Oh, god forgive me

For reaching beyond the sin

I kick in the doorways

Of the common sinner's pen

If life's a process

We'd be dying to be free

These people are drifting

Away in insanity

Oh, god forgive me

For reaching beyond the sin

For reaching beyond the sin

You're world's an oyster

That I will never pry

Live their life as a textbook

And they're too thick to pry

I hold the moments

When you were my one adore

Egotistical mind sets

Have built a single mindless drone

I have nothing to do more

Than to rant at the end of the day

When I'm into talkin'

Got too much to say

Smile at my gestures

And repair what you find

Living in a world

Of the tragedy of mind

q

If you have food in your fridge, clothes on your back, a roof over your head, and a place to sleep, you are richer than 75% of the world.

If you have money in the bank, your wallet, and some spare change, you are among the top 8% of the world’s most wealthy.

If you woke up this morning with more health than illness, you are more blessed than the million people who will not survive this week.

If you have never experienced the danger of battle, the agony of imprisonment and torture, or the horrible pangs of starvation, you are luckier than 50 million people alive and suffering.

If you can read this message, you are more fortunate than 3 billion people in the world, who cannot read at all.

You think you're hungry?

Well, before you eat stop and think about something.

Take that hunger,

That growling pain

Multiply it by ten

Twenty

Fifty

One hundred

One thousand.

If you feel less hungry than that

You're lucky

If you feel less hungry than that

You should feel blessed

Because there are billions of people out in the world,

And some of them

Haven't been full for a week.

Some of them

Haven't been full for months

Some of them

Haven't ever been full in their life.

Still Hungry?

That's it

It's over

I can't fight it anymore

The war is finally won

A war against myself

And it's the darker side that won.

It started with just one small bottle

And then two and three

And now here I am

No place to go

How did I get here?

Beats me.

The farther I went

Down that dark twisted path

The easier it was

To not look back

I've reached the end of that path now

I've hit a wall

But it's not a wall

It's a gate.

A gate that's sucking me in

Pulling me closer

Trying to take me away

And I have a choice to make.

I can give up all hope

Go through that gate

But it will close behind me forever

I'll never be able to go back.

Or I can awaken inside me

That tiny little part

That still has strength left

Strength to pull myself out of this mess

Away from this wall

But doing that

Would be going through hell.

I'd have to work and work

Trying to pull myself away

When it would be easier to stay here

Slumped against the wall

And let the gate pull me through

Closing the doors of life

Forever.

Was it something I did?

Was it something I said?

You've taken away,

The life I could have lead.

It is too late now,

It will never be the same.

The time has changed me.

The past is to blame.

I don't know my own parents,

I always wonder about who you could be,

Do you wish for me each night?

Or have you forgotten about me?

Do you ever think

Of how things could've been?

Had you not left me,

In that little plastic bin.

I don't know what to do

I don't know which way to go.

I thought parents were like angels,

I didn't know.

I thought you were dumb,

I thought you were smart,

But now I just wonder,

Do you even have a heart?

How could you leave me,

In that little tubbaware,

Just wrapped in a blanket,

On an orphanage stair?

I thought you were my protectors,

That you would one day come back for me,

But that was 1998,

Now it's 2015.

I grew up without parents,

I carved my own knife,

Now I'm done waiting for you,

You're out of my life.

Everyone is different

Yet everyone is the same.

Everywhere is somewhere

It is from whence we came.

Nobody is Everyone

We are all ourselves.

Nowhere is Everywhere

We’re all books on shelves.

All can sing this song

But no one sings it the same

For we are all different

As is where we came.

We can sing this song.

We can dance this dance.

But our greatest differences

Happened just by chance.

I look to the sky, but it is black.

I here something behind me

But don’t turn back.

I am alone in this world

Until I see

The glimmer of light

Behind the tree.

She is meek and small

And not very tall

But when she turns

I hear her call.

The sound is sweet

And loud and clear

But it’s full of sorrow

To my ear.

I know now why the sky is dark

Why I can’t hear a

single dog bark.

She is a stranger here

And now I know,

Why the lights all disappear.

She is full of sadness

She is so bright.

For she is the girl

Made of Fallen Starlight.

It looked so simple,

Just a normal wishing well,

Who knew that one wish,

Could bring about such hell?

My wish was spoken,

My coin then fell,

But suddenly I'd followed it,

Down into the well.

I gasped for air,

As the shadows descended,

Could this possibly be,

How my life is ended?

My vision's going hazy,

I can no longer see,

It seems the well has granted my wish,

For now I'm finally free.
