Dragons Protect me from Towers
trees protect me from forest
wolf protect me from piglets
devil protect me from evil
darkness protect me from the night
light protect me from shadow
coin protect me from hunger
charmer protect me from magic
dragons protect me from towers
[but what protects me from fairy-tales?]
but i need to see
the bare ugly truth
face of enemies
and stare in it's eyes
to defeat evil
I must be aware
Vampire Elegy
[Verse 1:]
All alone... I am a shadow in the dark
All alone... Afraid to touch the light
All alone... Outcast in my own skin
[Chorus:]
hiding in my cave
afraid of the light
my home is my grave
alone in the night
the world's against me
they don't understand
you can set me free
take me by the hand
[Verse 2:]
All alone... In my coffin closed to this world
All alone... In scilence in my cave
All alone... I want you here with me
[Chorus]
[Bridge:]
Been dead for so long
Everything feels so wrong
I need you like blood
I am pleading for love
Save me
[Chorus]
For Once to Feel Whole
I don't know where to go from here
looking for something not there
all I want is for once to feel whole
there's something missing I know
I feel so alone
and time drags by slow
I don't understand
the feeling of bliss
but I know inside
it's nothing like this
it's nothing like this
I see the life around me
just beyond my reach
forbidden fruit in the tree
looks tasty to me
I don't understand
the feeling of bliss
but I know inside
it's nothing like this
I just want to know
what it's like to feel whole
maybe for a second
to lose control
I just want to know
what it's like to love
witness the life it gives
I feel dead inside
Thunder after Lightning
[Intro:]
listen to the thunder
lightning drawing near
thunder after lightning
screaming in your ear
[Chorus:]
blade is not the start
cut is not the wound
blood is not the loss
scars are not the end
[Verse 1:]
you hide behind your wall of lies
disguise the fall to your demise
by forcing smiles that want to cry
[Verse 2:]
you brace yourself awaiting bane
behind the barriers and chains
so weak from tyranny and pain
[Chorus]
[Bridge:]
can't prevent the past
can't fix shattered glass
but the storm can pass
[Chorus 2:]
blades don't cause problems
scars don't tell it all
listen to thunder
tear down your brick wall
thunder after lightning
[Outro:]
listen to the thunder
fading from your life
look towards the future
embrace the sunlight
Deep Emptiness
intro:
sexual temptation
physical stimulation
deep emptiness
verse:
seek to feel complete
emptiness runs deep
you're mindless and weak
our future looks bleak
filthy lies swallowed
so blindly follow
what you think you feel,
is hollow
chorus:
victims pray in vain
begging got to save
gave you soul to sell
building you own hell
no heaven above
no hell below
heaven and hell are in your head
don't waste your life as though you're dead
verse:
disgusting disease
you slowly conceive
your false thoughts believed
deny the help you need
there is no excuse
this is what you choose
when you think you win,
you lose
[chorus]
bridge:
feel them heed and obey
see them hate and shiver
full of greed, full of shame
hear them weep in pain
feel them quake and quiver
full of greed, full of shame
deep emptiness
there's no excuse
there's no excuse
there's no excuse
someone's daughter, someone's son
someone's baby, someone's mom
outro:
victims pray in vain
begging god to save
there's no excuse
In the Light of Hope
in the wind, in the rain
without a house to stay
in the wet, in the cold
the aftermath of the storm
in the heat of the sun
but the damage can't be undone
in the shadow of the night
wondering when it will feel right
in the darkest of days
we'll stand together always
in the light of hope
helping those who need it most
One Rose
One dead rose stands in my room.
Eleven others tossed away,
only this one remains.
Even dead, this rose is beautiful.
It's once red petals turned to burgundy.
It now faces down, it lost strength long ago.
One dead rose stands in my room.
It's delicate, but I still keep it.
And I will still keep it,
until no bond is left.
Valentine Mine
what's wrong?
what's wrong he asked me x3
what's wrong?
something's wrong but I don't know
I am confused
it doesn't feel right
what's wrong he asked me
but I stood scilent
he walked away
febuary fourteenth
scilenced with a click
he refuses me
turning outside in
a phone to my ear
and burning wet eyes
I lay in by bed
as you're out with friends
I cry to myself
and bury my head
most romantic day
passing once a year
I wish you would stay
I wish you were here
Just Breathe
in this world there're sharks who
would love to push us down
hold us under water
but we refuse to drown
rise aboove and show them
who you are
they want you to -stand in line
they want you to -beg for air
they want you to -forget life
they want you to -become theirs
Breathe the water
in life and death
be the martyr
in life and death
die for life
they want to consume you
they want to see through you
they want you to bleed their blood
so their pain is your pain
as they show all they know
in this cycle of lies
they create their fate
water fills their lungs
you decide your own
breathe... breathe... breathe, just breathe
Vultures
parents gather 'round the fire
let me tell you a chilling tale
they are lustful
circling above our heads
watching, waiting
for someone to drop dead
they swoop to the ground
regroup what they found
vultures circle 'round and 'round
round and round, round and round
the kettle churns round and round
round and round, round and round
and no one learns
in their eye they're only birds
in the sky they're predators
they hang in the sky
casting shadows on the weak
and when they're caught red
picking flesh off the carcass
so often let by
back into society
they swoop to the ground
regroup what they found
where are your kids now?
Rainbow
if there was no storm
if there was no rain
if there was no light
there would be no rainbow
it was worth the hail
it was worth the cold
it was worth the wet
I can see the rainbow
painting color in my world
