reincarnation dance Like a rat in a maze I wander Lost Lost treading the same old ground again and again I endure my nights and waste my days trying to find my way to a place that's warm and safe where the nightmares can't reach me and the voices fade I'm a prisoner of my own desires I'm a prisoner to my dark obsessions and the darkest one is you the darkest one is you the darkest one is you I've dreamed that I've lived a life before this one memories from before this body's time another man, another land in a time that seems so far from here what did I do then to end up here what did I do to deserve you what did I do to deserve you what did I do to deserve you and if there was a life before this one then there will surely be another to follow when this one is done and the threat of death is a hollow one it is nothing to fear for death is merely the bridge between one life and the next and if there is another life when this one finally is done there must be lessons to be learned I understand about enduring pain I've learned some things from you I've learned some things from you I found Hell's torment when I met you Where do we go from here Where do we go from here When you're sworn to living on the edge it's hard to watch your step we had nothing there to catch us when we fell somewhere in between would be safe and less extreme but we're not the kind of people to do that well Don't have to die to visit Paradise Don't have to die to go to Hell you only die to cross the bridge no dark without the light no day without the night no hot without the cold you're young and then you're old we could have another chance we could have another dance my darkest obsession has always been you maybe in the next life, baby maybe in the next life, baby my darkest obsession has always been you another chance another dance follow me follow me follow me to the next life, baby

Mask 10:45
Mask under the mask there's another mask you've forgotten who you want to be the face that you wear is a task that you bear it keeps you safe from me what's behind your mask, I used to wonder the one that you show me are you as cautious as I am are you afraid to be free every road that I have travelled has led me back to you but after we had shed the masks that we both wore we knew that we were through sometimes things just don't work out sometimes people grow apart instead of moving on you nurture rage in your black heart if you can't have me then no one can it's you or no-one else but why I just don't understand you'd drag us both down to hell your mood's wings soar high and dive low take me places I've never been places I never wanted to go your heart is black like a crack in the earth your stare is cold like a snake your smile is without mirth when you laugh, I hear things break the flame that feeds your crazy passion is the fire that burns the ones you love you mock the devil in his deepest pit you curse the gods above you've got to let it go you've got to let it go not for my sake but for your own you've got to let it go you say that you can't help yourself you laugh and blame the stars the cold vengefulness of Scorpio the angry wrath of Mars the mask you wear to protect yourself has become who you are the face you always show to survive your constant fear has left a brutal scar the armor that you wear to protect yourself has become the only face I see the armor that's grown around your heart is scaring the hell out of me the thorns that have grown around your cold black heart are bringing the mean out in me you've got to let it go you've got to let it go you've got to let it go I don't frighten easily but you're scaring the hell out of me and I've got no more to give I've got no more to give why can't you see what you're doing to yourself why can't you just let it go why can't you just let go you've got to let it go

Invisible Girl you're the invisible girl I don't see you anymore I don't hear you anymore I can look right past you I can see right through you like I never knew you a hundred thousand times you've told me you don't need me now I'm dead and gone to you you'll no longer bleed me if only I didn't drag you down o, the things that you could do be careful what you wish for for it might one day come true you're the invisible girl I don't see you any more the invisible girl be careful what you wish for for it might just one day come true be careful, o so careful what you wish for for it might just one day come true I don't see you anymore I don't hear you anymore I am long gone and you were never there I'm all through I'm all through with you I'm all through Lonely is a cold and cruel winter knowing that you're growing old alone bitter was my heart tortured was my soul with the wind as my companion I roamed so far from home I roamed so far from home I know how dreams can linger I know what nightmares are made of one day I woke up and I realized I don't need your twisted kind of love I don't need your twisted kind of love I no longer need your twisted kind of love Lonely is a cold and cruel winter knowing that you're growing old alone bitter was my heart tortured was my soul with the wind as my companion I wandered far from home I know how dreams can linger I know what nightmares are made of one day I woke up and I realized I don't need your twisted kind of love

lost in your gaze drunk with the smell of you i'm in an altered state i've reached a higher plane cellular interaction chemical reaction pheremonal haze can't get enough of you i cannot think straight short circuit in my brain instinctual attraction craving satisfaction i can't get enough of you i can't get enough of you every twisted path i wander leads me straight back to you no matter where i am you're with me every night and every day and if you ever left me i would surely lose my mind i cannot let you go for i do not want to know the kind of pain that would exist if we ever ended this ever since the day that i found you i've found myself lost in you the flavor of your breath the savor of your flesh intoxicates me i cannot get enough of you lost in your gaze pheremonal haze drunk with the smell of you instinctual attraction chemical reaction i can't get enough of you and i don't care what they say i cannot get enough of you and i don't care what they say i just can't get enough of you and i don't care what they say i can't get enough of you and i don't care what they say i can't get enough of you and i don't care what they say i can't get enough of you and i don't care what they say i just can't get enough of you and i don't care what they say i cannot get enough of you and i don't care what they say

A Star Falls 08:27
words don't come out easy when they come out at all systems crumble all around us we watch in amazement as the empire falls I sit safe in my prison amidst my own decay wait in vain for the sun to bring new light to the day when i look at your picture I think of the one I used to know before the stars went to your head and you became part of the show you twisted your reality traded in your soul gave up who you really were and crawled inside your hole you traded your reality gave up your soul gave up who you really were and crawled into your black hole dried blood on the glass dried blood on the floor echoes of your laughter drown out the pounding at the door blood on the floor blood on my hands my focus narrows as my vision expands tears stain your photo as I remember what you said I see the monsters in the hallway and your face in my head I see the monsters in the hallway I see the monsters in my head how can I explain what was real has all been changed how can I accept that there's really nothing left How can I go on I'm past the point of no return how can I keep a happy face with all that I have learned when did you start believing all the stories they invented for you? i see red in my head your shadow on the floor memories that never were I can't make believe any more I was numb and apathetic til the anger became stronger can't go on like this can't go on for any longer I can't go on like this can't go on for any longer

Waiting for the End of Days Your smile no longer entices me you've used up all your tricks the damage you've caused can't be undone there's nothing left to fix I look into your reptile gaze don't like what i see there there is no soul behind those eyes icy predator stare you devour as much as you can without a thought, without a care the truth is a frightening and complex reality you attract your prey with the lure of your sexuality once inside your trap it's over you begin your deadly dance there is no escape from your embrace fatal last romance I know you're waiting for the end of days that does'nt excuse your reckless ways Can you sink into your depths surviving what you see I understand you all too well but your'e not getting me I know that i have never ever felt this way before the danger of your crazy games doesn't thrill me anymore I look into your reptile gaze don't like what i see there there is no soul behind those eyes empty predator stare waiting for the end of days when you will show us who you really are waiting for the end of days waiting for the end of days so you can drop your mask and have your way

I enjoy exploration, experimentation, the dark side, the unusual, the road less taken, hidey-holes, full moons, shadows, solitude, a good scare. ... more
