Artificial Illusion

Look at me
Nothing is quite as it seems
In this world of your dream
But nothing's certain.
Someone is
Pulling all the puppet's strings
Making false realities
And you're just too blind to see
Your own illusions
Try to free your mind
And all the things you'll find
The secret of all mankind
Will come to you
But you won't
Make the effort. So
You will never truly know
So you will just have to go
And go away
All that's right is wrong
It's all not black and white
You're living in your own illusion
Staying out of sight
All that's right is wrong
And you won't try to fight
You're hiding
You're crying
You're too damn scared to fight.

On The Inside

Restrained by your mind
Afraid to satisfy
You must free your mind
If you think you can try
Locked up far away
You think it makes you safe
Free will thrown away
It just makes you a slave
With one leap of faith
The chains are cast away
New roads shown to you
Which pathway will you take
Just take one last step
And simply close your eyes
One breath, let it go
Reach in to take control
No
Do not run
Do not hide
Do not cry
It's
Buried deep
In your mind
On the inside

In The Looking Glass

The reflection in the mirror
Always changing
Rearanging
The boy looking though the glass
Has now grown
The reflection in the mirror
Always changing
Rearanging
The boy that looks back at me
Is now a man
The reflection in the mirror
Always changing
Rearranging
All the visions that I've seen
Have come to pass
The reflection in the mirror
Always changing
Rearranging
Can I change this path I roam
All set in stone?
Take one look, what do you see?
Is this all reality?
Will the sights all come to pass?
Will you make each second last?
Take one look, what do you see?
Is this all reality?
All the visions in the glass
They have not yet come to pass

The Forgotten Ones

Gather round children
Time to sing a song
A song of lost soliders
Who died where they belong
No one gave them flowers
No candles on the grave
An afterlife of silence
From souls they have saved
Gather round children
For another verse
The songs for those fighters
Riding in the hearse
No one gave them flowers
No candles on the grave
An afterlife of silence
No one knows their face
They were sent to die
Without knowing why
They were sent to die
With no answers
No one gives them praises
No one gives a shit
Just cycle to the next one in line for the hit
They fade away in silence
No one knows their names
They live among the shadows
Forgotten by the day

I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that's real
The needle tears a hole
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything
What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away
In the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
I wear this crown of thorns
Upon my liar's chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
Beneath the stains of time
The feelings disappear
You are someone else
I am still right here
What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away
In the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
If I could start again
A million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way

Blood flows corroded in the veins of life
The shadow's eroded everything that's light
The light that once was shining bright, is now grey
Is this the curse of your once sweet memory
My screams were once my lullaby
But there are no more tears to cry
I've burnt the fragments of your memory
All that's left are the ashes of you and me
I tried to kill your love but your heart keeps beating away
I called your name wishing once that you would stay
I'm haunted by your memory
I've tried to hate you but I keep on hating me
I tried to kill your love but your heart keeps beating away
I called your name wishing once that you would stay
I'm haunted by your memory
I've tried to hate you but I keep on hating me
I tried to kill your love but your heart keeps beating away
I called your name wishing once that you would stay
I'm haunted by your memory
I've tried to hate you but I keep on hating me
