    Wide Awake Road (lyrics)

    My eyes
    They strain, to see through the rain
    Back and forth through bloodshot eyes
    They're color blind
    And asinine
    They see what I can't gain

    I'm going for a drive my dear don't know when I'll be back
    I usually don't this time of night but right now I'm so mad
    I know this turn is treacherous I really should go slow
    But speed is my demon and I'm on wide awake road

    Black water
    My breathing, it seems to be seething
    Back and forth through paper lungs
    I'm ripped to shreds
    And cut and bled
    All this harm is done

    So cold
    This screaming
    It seems to be freezing
    Back and forth through crooked ears
    It's freezing the sound
    While I'm underground

    I'm going for a drive my dear don't know when I'll be back
    I usually don't this time of night but right now I'm so mad
    I know this turn is treacherous I really should go slow
    But speed is my demon and I'm on wide awake road

    Cause theres no whispering sweet nothings
    No more carvings in the tree
    And that last message I left you is all you have left of me
    No more conversations
    No more late nights cuddled up
    A twisted ball of metal and a heart...
    A heart thats finally stopped

    I'm going for a drive my dear don't know when I'll be back
    I usually don't this time of night but right now I'm so mad
    I know this turn is treacherous I really should go slow
    But speed is my demon and I'm on wide awake road

    Midnight

    Stars shine through the darkness,
    illuminating the world with grace;
    beauty divine, only seen at midnight.
    Break through the dark shadows,
    shattering clouds of eternal gloom.
    Create a new sense of wholeness,
    filling the sky with endless wonders.

    A Little Loss Of Me
    (with the word need)

    sitting in my room
    not a care in the world
    but my heart keeps pounding
    just asking for more

    The drugs were getting useless
    My thoughts were becoming raw
    My friends became enemies
    And of course it was the law

    But for a few months now
    Ive been completly sober
    Things are getting better
    And my body craves it more

    It seems that it wants
    and seems that it would need
    Another drop of drugs
    And a little loss of me

    This is midnight, will post the other shortly.

    Midnight

    Darkness breathes once again,
    its lungs filled with drunken men,
    screaming babies, dirty deeds,
    desperate women with sexual needs.

    Light succumbs to the eclipse
    for a few hours, it won't be missed.
    Lullaby slumber, city falls into silence.
    Welcome to those who live for the violence.

    Without a sound, heaven turns a blind eye
    to the sins happening beneath the black sky.
    Evil roams the streets like mist:
    Seeping, searching, crossing names off the list.

    Dawn drowsily arrives, too soon,
    night absconds, holding hands with the moon.
    Goodness awakens into the light,
    blissfully unaware of the events of midnight.

    My Everything (word: nothing)

    I gave you my everything.
    My words, my heart, my touch.

    And you swore you felt the same
    As your hands ran their path.

    Sloping over the curves
    That were my body

    Your lips ran down my skin
    As if you were born to do it.

    I always gave in to your touch,
    Because a love like yours...

    Was something I'd never felt before.

    And so when it came time to make a decision
    I didn't stop to think

    I just gave you my everything
    My words, my heart, my touch

    Because when you swore you felt the same
    I believed you without question

    Though, if you meant it,
    It only lasted through that moment

    I made you into my everything
    Thinking you wanted forever.

    How foolish of me to have not known
    That I was just another notch on your belt.

    I learned a valuable lesson from you though
    About making you my everything

    Your love lasted a nighttime, and a wonderful night it was
    But then the sun came out and you were gone.

    And I was left reaching for an invisible body
    You were my everything for a night.

    But now that it's over...
    You've left me with nothing

    Nothing except the memories
    Of an experience I'll never forget.

    Heart's Inspiration. (Heart)

    If I could give you love in a bottle,
    it would wisp up around your hair,
    teasing your lips with my kisses.
    Pulling at your tender heart strings,
    answering every last question you had.
    My heart's inspiration; reason for life,
    it lies in everything you do for me.

    Courage (Nothing)

    A distorted puzzle of burned out memories
    Nourishes a black flower of decadence
    And descant voices create frozen melodies
    While a tempestuous suffer drains her essence

    Like a lonely shadow, moaning all night long
    There's nothing inside her... No one to hold...
    No kisses ever shared... Nowhere to belong...
    A storm inside her mind... She feels so cold...

    Raindrops fall through her darkened hair
    The wind pours the taste of a bleeding heart
    "Life's nothing but a risk! Will you dare?"
    Weeping illusions break the world apart

    Sunshine keeps crawling through the wall
    Yet she hopefully longs for Death to rise
    And take her curled up body, ready to fall
    The ghost of fate fades into a hollow surprise

    When Death comes, glorious, into her house
    There is only an old pillow, drowned in tears
    And, inside the closet, a small, smiling mouse...
    "Are you brave enough to fight back your fears?"

    Breathing Mistake

    I feel my lungs enlarge
    As I breathe in your pain
    It burns pass my skin
    And I just want to be erased.

    Why couldn't you love me?
    Wasn't I good enough?
    You could lie to me.
    But being honest was too tough.

    I wished we could be
    You were perfect.
    I though I had a chance
    But my heart didn't deserve it.

    I cry, but my tears don't count.
    I dreamed, but the dreams always fade
    Midnight finds me
    When the stars slip away.

    I'm still longing for you
    While you love someone else.
    I still need you
    Even though you won't help.

    I'm not perfect
    And I wish my feelings were fake.
    I'm the one you forget
    Your breathing mistake.

    Message (BOOK)
    by Spirit

    A leaf on the ground,
    a cloud in the sky,
    a book on a shelf,
    you don't notice, but I

    see a pattern, a picture,
    an image, a face,
    an adventure forgotten
    but not to be erased.

    Find a treasure in a snowflake,
    a picture on a door,
    a reason and a purpose
    in things thrown 'bout the floor.

    Hear the constant need for answers,
    the search for knowledge, true,
    the one among the many
    who now sees things anew

    Search for memories lost
    where items can't be found.
    Remember how it used to be
    when to love you weren't bound

    Wish for things forgotten,
    desires overlooked,
    see things for what they truly are
    Not a cover, but a book.

    Not a building in a city,
    but a mystery unfurled.
    Not some poem on a paper
    but a message to the world.

    *Hey this is an old poem
    I hope it works

    It Wasn't You (nothing)

    Feelings piling up like dirty laundry
    Weeks of emotions unable to escape
    I'm holding it in for way to long
    And it was you who threw me away

    My body begins to shake like the leaves
    I'm scared of what might start to become
    So trying to to straighten myself out
    And it was you you kept the secrets

    My mind is scrambling with missing pieces
    I'm loosing memory of who you are
    Your becoming nothing to me now
    And it wasn't you who wanted to help.

    I'm so sorry I forgot about my other reservation, I will do it ASAP! :D

    EDIT: Book - He's Not Real

    Heart strings tighten,
    plucked at the sound
    of his name.

    Suffocation begins at
    the mention of the word,
    waiting, cautious.

    Perfection required:
    He's at the top of every
    teenage girl's wish list.

    They know him,
    they love him too,
    but this is different.

    So close to my heart,
    yet unreachable,
    bound by words.

    In my dreams,
    he's within reaching distance.
    Reality burns.

    Incomprehensible,
    sneers follow me,
    echoing fatal words...

    "He's not real."

    Teeth grind together
    as tears hold on to each other
    begging not to fall.

    Embracing the truth
    brings too much pain.
    This shouldn't have begun.

    Letting him go
    tore my heart into pieces.
    Words fail me.

    Snarled pages
    stare blankly from the fire.
    Goodbye, my love.

    Reminiscing,
    I can't believe I loved
    a man...

    who isn't real.

    Fairytale Hell (Book)

    I'm here sitting on the dock at the bay
    Memories sail by me in a gentle wave
    That long ago night you left me stranded
    Forgotten and abandoned and empty-handed

    These gray skies close their eyes to weep
    Lonely clouds that rain down hell and sleet
    Patches of my heart lay sprawled on damp green
    The grass sways like the ocean in front of me

    Though it is warm there is a cold draft
    Snowflakes pore down in a sunny bath
    My anguish is soaked up in the dry sand
    Tarnished and worn and holding mother earth's hand

    So I'm not adrift but caressed by the heart of nature
    Memories seal their place on my minds blank sheet of paper
    A book left wordless and without a story to tell
    The weathers really nice in my novel of a life called

    Fairytale Hell.

    I Need Her

    To need is not just to want or desire something
    It isn't just wanting a new bike to ride or to show off a new ring
    To need something is to absolutely require it
    And for me this one thing is hard to live without I admit

    I need this thing but really this person
    Anything I do will be fixed and never worsen
    She has been with me from the start
    Literally has grown me from a baby and made me smart

    Now that I need her more than ever the person I call mom
    I need her at this age for when I get too crazy and need to be calm
    To guide me through and tell me right
    For she is leaving me now for awhile for doing wrong tonight

    She won’t be back and all I need is her
    Going back when everything was alright how we were
    But she’s leaving soon and I just need her here and now
    I can’t let her go like giving up food I avow

    But she has to go it’s a legal deal
    This is real, needing her, I strongly appeal
    I know she will be back in awhile to go back how we were
    But I just need that person, the one I call mom, I need her
