songs, poetry...
read it if you're looking for inspiration
"and we're all in the same machine
each one with his own broken dreams
passion gives way to failure
so let's all try and understand
you take my hand and i’ll take yours
we'll let our passion bleed"
"And in my darkest hour
the brightest light draws near to me
a torch to end all torches,
this is the light that sets me free
all shadows burn away now
but by his grace I am sustained
though all was lost,
now all is found and more is gained"
"knowledge locked in a tower
barons will hold the key
but if knowledge is power,
know this is tyranny
all we're asking for is what's ours
you think they're selling you truth,
truth is, they're selling you out"
"'cause I'm sick of the stabbing,
I'm sick of the breaking,
I'm sick of the bleeding until we fall down,
sick of this circle of death that we dance through
again and again, just lay me in the ground.
let's fall asleep together,
hold me darling 'cause I'm scared,
and I can't do this alone."
"and if it comes to murder
don't tell and we won't ask you how
you sleep at night when the lights go out
and you're all alone
with all the ghosts of lesser humans
whose lives you've spilt to suit your own"
"What of all the art and books
music and poetry
What of all our memories
What of OUR HOPES AND DREAMS
They hold no value then
We hold no faith but greed
So I must ask you
To what end do we proceed?"
"Image marred by self-infliction
Private wars on my soul waged
Heart is scarred by dual volitions
Juxtaposed and both engaged
Kindle flame, a test of faith
Pray help me see it through
I put all my trust in you"
"is anybody hear to see a band
did anybody come to hear a song
does anyone believe in magic
is anybody here to sing along
people shove me down they're coming from all sides
and as i look around
something just don't seem right
I i feel so all alone
though the people inundate
I i see no joy or desperation
only senseless hate"
"some things are better left unsaid.
you know what's at stake
something's are better left unsaid
as long as we keep it
in textbooks, then well be untouchable, untouchable
we hate to lie to children,
but after all its all
for their own good."
"and wait for the year to drown.
Spring forward, fall back down.
I'm trying not to wonder where you are.
All this time lingers, undefined.
Someone choose who's left and who's leaving."
"we hold our own
by keeping our hearts cold
and we've learned what matters most
so we keep our hearts cold
they are no one
they are nowhere
they are not our problem
no one seeing
non existant
if we keep our hearts
they are no one
they are nowhere"
"listen for the sound, as it all comes crashing down
they light the world on fire, just to watch it burn
it'll be their funeral pyre, but they never seem to learn
and we paid the price, we paid for their crimes with our blood
and our lives"
"Don't flinch when innocents
are dancing with the flame
if they wanted to live
they'd learn to play the game"
"So Strange I Remember You in protest of a prayer,
and falling back from seas we fear to sail
i swear i saw the shooter, gold teeth and a double dare,
postmortem warnings seem inclined to fail,
feigning an apology.
those words they never left your lips,
those 5 years in Bermuda slide by like the lights of passing ships,
So Strange that I Remember You,
kneeling deep in Nietzsche's lies
my throat was an open grave i drank your stained glass eyes
and they taste like dead cathedrals
that are crumbling beneath a weight ten thousand jaded tourists
who've traded in their hearts and hands for
disposable cameras, set to document to decay
set to capture just enough of life to catalogue the things we throw away"
