UNDER THE HOOD

UNDER THE HOOD

I wear it low to hide my face
To hide the beast I am
Looks only matter in this place
I hide them the best that I can
It keeps me safe from the jokes
That will come when I remove the hood
"Hang your ugly ass with a rope!"
They say just like I knew they would
All they see is an ugly freak
They know nothing about me
People shoukd think before they speak
Because there's more to what they see
I wish people could see me for who I really am
Not to judge me because of my physical looks
I try to avoid human contact anytime I can
And sit alone in a corner, reading books
It's better than hearing the ridicule
That comes with looks like mine
This world can be extremely cruel
I try to run and leave the laughter behind
But it follows me so I must wear the hood
To hide this hideous face I had since birth
I hide it all, like a beast like me should
I will always be alone, because I'm forever cursed.

THE SWEET GOODBYE

THE SWEET GOODBYE

The knife is in my hand
The cut feels so deep
I'm just a broken man
Ready for eternal sleep

I tried to live this life
I can't take it anymore
I'm ending it all tonight
Don't ask me what for

Too much hate
Too much war
This world I can't take
I'm going through death's door

I'm closing my eyes
I'm finally at peace
I'm about to die
I'm playing for keeps

Tired of the stress
Tired of the bills
Tires of this mess
The pressure just builds

Goodbye forever
I'm not afraid
Because I was never
Happy with my days.

THE PARASITE

THE PARASITE

Something is destroying this earth
And eating it whole
It's taking this planet's worth
And sucking its soul
It feeds on death and violence
And feeds on the blood of innocence
And prays to a God that stays silent
And will never see its repentance
It lives to hate and loves destruction
Nature weeps as it takes what it wants
Caught in the parasite's deadly seduction
It feeds on itself without remorse or feeling
And laughs at the cannibalistic feast
It knows there's no coming back or healing
But it's not worried in the least
A greedy waste of life, it only cares for itself
No matter what the cost
It purposely deteroiates its own health
It is a parasite that's truly lost
It's too late to care, there is no hope
This parasite resides in every land
Even on the seas it thrives and floats
And that deadly parasite is man.

PLACE THE BLAME

PLACE THE BLAME

It's the media's fault things went this way
That's why we're in such a messed up way
That's just bullshit, another lame cop out
But that's what people love to shout
Blame the media for every problem in the world
Blame the media for unruly boys and girls
Blame the media for wars and murder
Blame the media for your career not going any further
Blame the media for all the racism and hate
Blame the media for the environment being destroyed at a high rate
Blame yourself for falling for the media's lies
Blame yourself for following and falling in line
Becoming a zombie, hanging on to every word
And believing everything you just read or heard
When things go wrong it's always the media that gets the blame
But look in the mirror it's you that fell for their games.

WHEN DOES IT STOP HURTING?

WHEN DOES IT STOP HURTING?

My mind is racing with thoughts of pain
My heart is ripped out, I feel empty inside
Tears dropping to the floor like drops of rain
The only thing I can do is cry
A life long family friend and now he's gone
There's no way you can heal
I don't know if I want to go on
This is just too much to deal
Don't tell me things will get better soon
That's all a bunch of lies
I sit by myself in a darkened room
And I keep asking why?
You're gone now and never coming back
That too tough to swallow
Thinking of memories from the past
But I still feel so hollow
When will this pain stop
When will it end?
The times we had will never be forgot
Goodbye my loyal friend

INTERNET TOUGH GUY

INTERNET TOUGH GUY

You better be careful what you say to me
I'm have a black belt by the 23rd degree
I'm also an amateur MMA fighter
And I own a bat that's wrapped in barbwire
I also know every for of fighting known to man
Come and try to beat me up, I don't think you can
I'll kill you ten times before you hit the ground
And I'll do it while there's plenty of cops around
I fear nothing and I think death is a big joke
Keep me in a good mood so you won't get choked
Disagree with me and you'll pay with a lifetime of pain
To see you hurt is going to be my only aim
Now you got me started I'm going to show you some carnage
"Boy you better come up here and take out the garbage!"
"But mom I'm busy now, I'll get to it later on tonight!"
"You'll do it right now if you value your life!"
You got lucky there pal, I'm off to do work on my fighting skills
But remember how tough I am if you don't want your blood spilled
I have no idea who you are and I'll probably never talk to you again
But today you have made a powerful enemy my friend

IF YOU ONLY KNEW

IF YOU ONLY KNEW

If you only knew the smile I wear is fake
I'm truly filled with sadness and self hate
I hate being something that I'm truly not
My emotions feel like they have been shot

If you only knew that I lie about how I feel
That when I say I'm fine, that's not real
I'm far from fine, I feel like I'm dying inside
From an endless pain I try so hard to hide

If you only knew how I felt about you
Is the reason why I feel the way I do
I know we will never be anything more than friends
Which is why I can never be happy again.

FALLING APART

FALLING APART

The world’s tumbling down
Its all going downhill
I try to wear this broken crown
But everything makes me ill
One bad day after the next
Is it ever going to stop?
I'm falling down steps
While people just watch
I'm stuck in a trap
With no way out
Life gave me a slap
Right across the mouth
So discouraged and out of hope
As I sit down on a couch
Just trying to cope
A million words said
Without even speaking
Thoughts running in my head
As my emotions keep leaking
What do I do now?
I hate being in this struggle
What do I do now?
This stress gets hard to juggle
There's no way out
I'm trapped here forever
There's no way out
I'm trapped here forever.

BRING ME UP TO TEAR ME DOWN

BRING ME UP TO TEAR ME DOWN

One second you love me, the next you hate me
Is your goal trying to make me crazy
This was a storm brewing, I should have been warned
Just say that you never wanted to see me born
You hit me with words that hurt and wonder why I never talk
That's why I don't call, I keep my feelings hidden in a vault
You're probably the reason why I don't like talking to people
Because if people are like you, then most of them are evil
You claim that I'm upset but I'm not even pissed
You left me alone as a child and acted like I didn't exist
And now you wonder why I really don't want to talk to you
But I'm the one who has issues from the nonsense you put me through
Don't tell others  how proud you say you are
Just to bring me down and give me another emotional scar
I can't say I really love you because that would truly be a lie
You probably wouldn't even care if I just suddenly died
And don't wonder why I never bother to come around
Because I know you'll see me and try to bring me down.
