We forget those closest to our hearts,
Drive away those who know us best,
And betray those who love us most.

Caring words run off her skin like water,
A granite heart repels every kindness shown.

There is nothing valuable left in my life but the words from my hands and my heart.

And in the heart of darkness we will see the need for light,
Only when dawn fails to come can we see why there is night.

Trust someone and be betrayed,
Become attached and they will leave you,
Love someone and you will be hurt.
That is how the world works.

My conflicting desire,
To show and to hide,
Like water and fire,
I cannot decide;
To continue the lies,
Or to let you see,
The one who resides
Inside of me.

What is this fear that drives us to better ourselves?
Not the fear of failure, but the fear of what we may achieve.

Stand not on the cliffs of despair and preach to the storm

The sorrow of the heart never ceases, but in words I pave a path back from the brink of my own destruction.

Queen Perfection is killing me,
With a smile on her skeletal face
