Sound Of Stars Breaking

Kid Icarus
I wanna fly, touch the sun, feel the heat.  I want to feel the fire that burns within the passion that I know so well.  it's hard to fly with broken wings.  Wings melt.  I fall so hard and I am drowning in the sea.  never be hurt again.  it's what I tell myself when I lie to myself.  I know, I fall, I hit the ground.  I tell myself I won't hurt.  I know it's just another lie, like the ones I tell myself everyday.  I know my destiny is to fall.  you were my son, now what have I done to you?  gave you wings, brought you up to the sun.  now I see you drown.  as I watch you drown, I drown, face down.  never to be hurt again.  why do I fall so hard?

Hansel, Gretel, & Me

Other Side Of The Story

This Demon Called Love
I wear this burden.  not because I want to, because it's what you've come to expect.  I've always been the one that you thought that you could trust.  now let me tell you a story about lust.  I've always been the one that you could lean on.  why is it now, you turn your head to me this time?  I always thought that we shared a common bond.  I'm wrong.  I thought that what we had, we shared a common bond.  I thought that what we had was love so strong.  wrong again.  want to take back.  feel something real, something for myself.  I can't be no one else.  I thought that what we had, we'd spend our lives together.  I thought that what we had was something real.  what do you call this?  I call it love.

Salt For My Wounds

Coup D'etat (Piss Off! cover song)

Too Late
By the time they come for you it will be too late.  By the time they come for you, you've already sealed your fate.  You had the chance to speak but you wouldn't;  said you couldn't.  You had the chance to use your voice for good, not evil.  There are millions out there being oppressed.  Who'd love to be like you.  You have a voice, you can be heard.  But you do nothing, and it's time you must do something.  Gotta take a stand, gotta fight back.  Fight for what we believe in.  You let people be persecuted.  You say it's not happening to me.  I say what goes around is gonna come around.  I say... the voiceless are screaming.  Because now we come for you, and it's too late.  You've already sealed your fate.  Now the time is up, soon you'll be gone.  And now we come for you and it's too late.  You've already sealed your fate.  We're gonna take it back, our voices ours again to scream out in pain.  We're gonna take it back just like you took it from us.  We're gonna bring you so high.  Bring you down so much you'll be gone for good.  Remember you had the chance to speak for us but you gave it up.  Time's up.  You're too late.

Half Mile To Belmont
slip away into the times of my past.  face what was so ashamed.  you thought you'd bring me down, now I know I've quelled the demons.  the water still burns my eyes, but I won't hide.  look into my face, tell me you hate me to go home to a world so full of fear.  look into those eyes, seem so far away now.  I realize my change, life worth less than zero.  think about past love.  now I know how far I've come from believing all those lies of prosperity, nobility, tradition.  make me weak, make me numb.  to a life so sweet it burns my eyes.  it burns my eyes.  my eyes, those lies.

What Have I Done?
What will it take me to cleanse my sick soul?  What will it take me to maintain a real friend?  What will it take me to make things not come down in the end?  It's like everyone I meet has an ulterior motive.  A different M.O. than mine.  I just want to be your friend.  Seems like, all that happened, I get screwed in the end.  Is this my fault?  Didn't I give you everything you needed?  What have I done to make you do what you did to me?  My thoughts blur through my mind so fast; I can't recognize an image.  My stomach turns everytime I think about it.  There's no cure for my disease.  Whatever it is I hope you find a way to stop self loathing.  Don't try to impress me.  All I want is a real friend.  Someone who won't bring me down, not them.  I just want to live my life honest, but everywhere I look I see glamorizing lies.  I want you to come back to me.  Because I miss you and I fear I'll never see you again.  I'm so sorry because I've lied.  I'm wrong.  So wrong.
