RISE OF THE SUNFLOWER WARRIOR (THROUGH MONTOLOTHIA)

The barren land, scorched by an unforgiving sun
The hot wind blows swirls of red dust in the air
A place so hostile, it's almost uninhabited by anyone
Even though in the shadows, there are many there
As the Sunflower Warrior makes her way through this land
They slowly track her every single move
She keeps her Naginata ready in her hand
Her life is something that she doesn't want to lose
She looks at the mountain that towers high above
Where dark clouds at the top always reside
She thinks about the Evil Wizard that once was
When she hears the sounds of footsteps from behind
A man with a rusty sword with hate in his eyes
Runs and starts screaming with uncontrollable rage
But in the next split second, on the scorched ground is where he lies
And slowly his life begins to fade
She continues her journey, through the unrelenting heat
Sheer determination is on her face, she refuses to fold
Until she finds the one who she seeks
And finally reaches her true goal.

MAKE ME WORTHLESS

No matter what I do, it's not good enough
Just tell me that you hate me already
It's bad enough that you're making living tough
You're drowning me in negatively that I can barely tread
You always see the bad in me and never the good
And you wonder why I don't want to talk
I would permanently keep my face bruised in a book if I could
So in my mind I can have a nice long walk
Every word makes it easier for me to separate
Why am I allowed not to make mistakes but you are?
You keep filling my heart with such self hate
It's becoming darker with a huge scar
I know, I'm worthless
I know, I do nothing right
What did I do to deserve this
You break me down every day and night
Don't ask me to smile
I'm not in the mood
I want to live in the wild
So far away from you.

THE STARING WOMAN

Why is is she looking at me like that?
Do I have something on my nose?
Is it because she thinks I'm fat?
Are my pants unzipped, leaving everything exposed?
She keeps staring at me and doesn't even blink
I don't know what to think of this situation
All of my insecurities are making me think
What about me is making this causation?
It's not because of my looks, I know that for sure
Because I'm a monster and as ugly as sin
I don't know how much more of this I can endure
Of this silent woman staring, taking me in
I walk out of the place, feeling like a freak
she must have thought I was from some side show
A human looking beast who knew how to speak
No one will ever love me, I know this is the truth
A cursed human being I am with these horrible looks
I was a loser, sitting alone in an empty booth
Engrossing myself and getting lost in my books
And then I looked up and saw her staring at me
But I know it wasn't anything that I was hoping for
As painful and sad as the truth may be
I'm alone for the rest of my life, engulfed by sadness forevermore.

HOPING, WISHING, DREAMING

Hoping, wishing, dreaming
That someone will come and rescue me
To save my soul before it's drained empty
Someone to come and save me from myself
I hate being alone and I need someone else

Wondering, thinking, contemplating
Is there someone out there that really cares?
I only want to find someone that will always be there
Someone who will ease this pain I feel and give me peace
Before it eats me alive like a ravenous beast

Conclusion, closure, finale
I'll be alone for as long as I shall be alive
I'll never be a father or have a loving wife
I guess I have to get used to this pain that I feel
As it holds me down and traps me like some wax seal

EMPTY GLASSES AND SHATTERED DREAMS

I sit all alone in the world and in this bar
Too drunk to drive myself home in my car
Trying to drink away this emptiness I feel
Numbing the pain from a dream I thought was real
What was I thinking? What woman could possibly want me?
I should have stayed at home and avoided this scene
Every painful word I try to fade away from my memory
But my foolish heart continues to be my enemy
I only want to be loved, is that to hard to ask?
I look at myself through the glass and see that's an impossible task
Time and time again, getting shot down in flames
Being laughed at and called such hurtful names
Another drink should numb away the thoughts in my mind
Of ending my pitiful existence and leaving it all behind
Why live when there's no one to live for?
Is life nothing but sadness and pain or is there something more?
Slowly drowning in my misery and drinking my life away
Tears drop in an empty glass, the entire world turns dark and gray
If there's a God, why do you keep my worthless soul breathing?
In this state, I'm not alive, I'm just slowly leaking
Please, end this waste of a life and the self hate inside
If this is the rest of my life, please just let me die.

MORE THAN THAT

I want to be with you and it's more than just sex
I want to know all about you, to reach a new depth
It doesn't really matter if you don't have perfect looks
The only perfect people that exist are in books
I'm not perfect myself so I wouldn't expect you to be
But there's so much more to you than what the world sees
You have a beautiful soul that I want to see exposed
And it's not what you think, I don't mean without your clothes
There's more in life than that and so much more in you
I want you to know that the way I feel it's true
And it's more than than the way you look it's who you are
A strong woman who has been through so much and has so many scars
But you're a true warrior because your still alive and well
Despite the fact that you have been straight through hell
Don't think you're wanted because you are and that's a fact
I want you but it's so much more than just that.

JUMPING ON MY NERVES

You really want me to explode but I'm keeping control
You're making me angry but you won't make me explode
You keep calling me names but I refuse to react
Because I know that you want me to say something back
I won't react to your name calling but you still keep picking
The constant brow beating is starting to get sickening
Keep saying I'm worthless and how I do nothing
You're jumping on that last nerve, you want me to do something
Instead of giving in to your wishes and losing my mind
I have done that in the past but not this time
It doesn't matter if you move the entire earth
I won't lose control even though you're jumping on my nerves.
