Change

simple people just stand and stare
but you know what burden i bear
you smile at others pain
but tell me, what do you gain?

you took my life
and cut it with your knife
it hurts to much to show
just how low will you go?

I held out my hand
but you think your so grand
well why dont you try to live your life
when all you know is how to cause strife

the world gives you chances
but all you give are your evil glances
everybody's screaming at you to change
but you think your not to blame

Sea And Sand, The Fall Of Land

See me here, standing tall
Waiting for my fatal fall
Not the trip that lands the cut on the knee
But the fall that man and beast alike flee
You see I hold myself in pride
For I am one that fights this tide
Not alone do I stand
But none can lend a helping hand
I see my fellow brothers disappear
As the moon and sea does near
For they cut and bite at my skin
Just as they did to my fallen kin
Yet once my foundations fail
Another shall continue this tale
For although we are not unending
It'll be a while until disasters impending
For the sea may erode our life away
Our skin of stone shall fight to the end of days

I'll Make This Mine

Am I to blame for your shame?
Should I hold my tongue because I'm young?
Or will you let me say my piece
Or give my opinion at least
Don't look down at me because of youth
You just refuse to believe a new truth
But I tell you now, success is born from ideas
So how do you expect me to succeed if all you teach is fear?
Fear of myself, fear of being strange and new
Just tell me how am I meant to be me, if all I am is you?
No to this and yes to that, rules that make you just another tool
Do I truly look like a gullible fool?
This is my time to rise and shine
And I shall make this little piece of the world mine!

Gained From War

War is stupid, wrong
War causes only pain
It kills both weak and strong
Simply put war is insane

War is unjust
It smoothers out hope
War brings disgust
This world just can’t cope

You, you call war
You live in bloody glory
Evil right to the core
Just to see you in the news story

Come on, have a heart
War is misery, sorrow, loss
Think of the family tore apart
Think of the swords that cross

Name

What is in a name?
Nought but legacy, shame or blame
And maybe once a heart of pride
A heart you are too long denied
You notice heads a-turning
Wandering gazes a-burning
Through your soul to see disgrace
That you feel so out of place
Because your name is famous
Because your family's shameless
And the life you live holds no remorse
For none would listen if you screamed yourself hoarse
Yet still you try to tell them
Still you try to show them
A child doesn't choose its family
At yet still you think ‘why have they damned me? '
When they judge you harshly for your name
And you are forced to hold that blame and shame

One Little Girl

She won’t make a sound
Won’t ask to be saved
Because there’s no-one around
No-one to give the attention she craved

But not once does she cry
Nor does despair know her name
Alone she lives in their lie
Trapped in a tortuous game

You she her standing there
No bruises show nor can she tell
Doesn’t know her life is unfair
For their fun it’s her body they sell

But not once will she say
“I am scared”, nor will she scream
Because she thinks it’s the only way
That she can live with a soul so unclean

Dead Lights' Lies

Something, anything, anywhere
I’m scared, shut off, closed in
In a darkness to heavy to bear
That is where I will sing

It is a song of sadness
Loneliness but also braveness
In this dead light my fear I must suppress
I’ve my life, my hope and soon I shall impress

A star I see so far away
Is it my hope, my lights first sign?
Will it keep this darkness at bay
Will it show the way, will it shine?

Eyes that show a soul
Voice that melts this cold
A life to fill this black hole
A presence that cannot be sold

Time To Go

Tears race through my veins
As my sorrow takes the reins
There's nothing more to say
Than a sweet goodbye today

Don't whisper another darkened word
I am struggling to keep these sobs unheard
So don't look into my broken eyes
I don't want you to see these tears I've cried

I knew that this day would come
And nobody can say that the past hasn't been fun
But I can't believe it's finally happening to me
I have a feeling I'm going to look vulnerable for everyone to see

So don't look between the lines, I'm fine
So what if I don't feel safe, like I'm out of time
I know that once this feeling has passed
I can truly let go, be free at last

Demon calling words

Is that all you need to say?
Is it rude of me just to say okay?
Because I could not care less
About you and your damn selfishness

Leave before we say something we regret
Words that cause pain to me and your pet
You think I didn't know of your game
Are you truly that pathetic and vain?

Who do you think I am, to let that insult go by
Let my revenge fail and my frozen heart die
Because once you weaken and you leave a trace
That is when I will leave you with deaths sour taste

My heart was not for you to take
Yet you saw fit to watch it break
For you I'll let my inner demons reign free
You made no mistake, other than harm you caused me

Let The Games Begin

Stay right there
Don't care how you fare
You no longer hold the right
To be in our sight

You forget the little things
The pain your word brings
You ripped us apart
Your goal right from the start

One night to remember
One day it took to burn the ember
Of a heart so weak
The heart of a freak

Tell us about your conquest
And we'll show you the rest
Oh the words you forget
We'll make you regret
