The Credit's Song
I cannot take it anymore
These cravings drive me nutts
My world it's gone-it's so screwed up
My wrists they bleed with cuts
I scream out loud, I try to run
I fall right down, I have not won
This battle lost-a whole damn war!
And, I scream again-my heart YOU tore!
Right in half, you kidnapped my soul
And, EVERYTHING; this I know!
Goodbye to life, today is gone
And tomorrow-Goodbye, so long!
I gave it up, to this drug
I gave it up, so pull the plug

The Dark Inside of Me
Can you really see
The Dark inside of me?
Can you really tell
That I have walked through hell?
Tell me can you feel-
The masks I try to peel
Instead I stand so cold
Lost, not brave or bold
Tell me can you touch-
My scars; they hurt too much
I just want to know
How to end this show?
Did I hit rewind?
Or do I try to find-
Someone that can be
The rescue within me?

It's Getting Ugly
They want to live
You want to die
You don't know why
You feel the pain
You scream his name
Crying
Trying
Unsuccessfully dying
Is this how it was meant to be?
You
Without me?
Is everything you say a lie?
Why the hell do we even try?
Why do we care?
Take the plunge
Do the dare
And then the day comes:
'I don't love you anymore.'

Color Blind
There is a world I search for
A world I try to find
I'm searching for a world
A world that's color blind
Where race, it has no meaning
Where skin it does not show
Where people learn acceptance
Is a world I'd love to know
Where I can see your soul
When I look into your face
Without the focus directed
On what we name the race
Where beauty defines itself
In an array of many shades
Where the people join together
And the colors start to fade

Born Inside a Metal Box
Born inside a metal box
I wrestle with the steel-made locks
I'm suffocating
I cannot breathe
Help me GOD
Help me please
I'm banging the walls
I'm yelling out loud
They watch as I suffer
They surround
And, they crowd
I scream for a chance
I beg for some mercy
But, they've tied me down
They've chained and they've cursed me
I'm stuck by myself
I'm here all alone

Everybody Is Broken
I'm looking around,
But, it's like everybody is broken!
Suffocation-no breathing!
We all seem to be choking
Spread on the ground
Just like shattered glass
Oh, to be free-
Free of this place now, at last!
Life, that is-
The Journey, the test.
This GOD forsaken battle...
We understand it less and less
Yes, all the broken people
Never asking to be here
Filled with nothing but-
The most intense despair
We fall down to our knees
We beg to find salvation
Ringing through the air
You can hear our desperation!

Queen of the Jungle
In the Jungle-
It is the feline who prevails
The pulse of the others
She takes and she steals
Slowly she struts
With grace and with ease
Never to others
Having to answer or appease
She truly is
The Queen of her throne
She is so graceful-
She is well known!
Fur that is golden
The walk of a Queen
Thirsty for blood
The thirst of a fien'd

The House of Broken Souls
So I guess I'm going back
Yes-I guess I shall return
To a place where hearts are broken
To a place where souls do burn
Back to this place I go
Back again somehow
I must be getting back
I swear I'll go right now
Though this place is dark
Though the souls are dead
Healing is the game
The healing of the head
The body and the soul
A game to go on living
And, they dose me with this stuff
It's this stuff they keep on giving
To hide the pain
To hide the lies
To ignore the pleas
To overrule the cries

Make Luv 2 Tha Dead
Seduced by darkness
A slave to the dead
A walking zombie-
So many lose screws in the head!
Uncontrollable feelings
To slice the vein in my neck
And, fall to the ground
A beautiful, bloody wreck
Dreaming of asphyxiation
To be choked, suffocated, and beaten!
Left in the darkness
Clawing and screaming!
The Demon's invade
Yes-they break through again
It's just a cycle of lust
And, obsession over death that won't end

If Death Had A Face, It Would Be Pretty.
A porcelain Doll
Dressed like the Grim Reaper
In this pit of pure darkness
I fall even deeper
Shrouded in mystery
Consumed by suicide
An obsession with control
That I try to hide
Playing this life
Like one hand of poker
Where I am the Queen
And, God is the Joker
But, the Devil's the King
Who always reigns surpreme
It's like a nightmare I'm stuck in
Some screwed* up lucid dream
