All You Can Ever Learn is What You Already Know

At birth, the phoenix rise
Ashes fall, the phoenix dies
Cycles go, while people lie
Can’t go back, no matter how hard you try
It’s there to haunt you
It’s there to scare you
A ghost you can’t kill
Until you solve the puzzle
Figuring out death by your own will
Life is only death
In my eyes, new breath
Be not proud
Death is blind
Self inflicted pain
Words we never want to hear
Suicide, overdose, terrorizing fear

Alone

Oh god I think I’m broken
Or maybe I’m wrong
If every piece is taken
Then I’ll be gone
I’m not the same as before
I’m half in, half dead
Here I lie on this floor
Unspoken, broken, and unsaid
Give me wings to fly away
Send an angel, or send two
Like a bird, I’ll get my way
Just tell me; oh tell me what to do
I need to escape this
I need to break this
I’m in a cage and I can’t get out
So tell me what this is about
There’s no escaping
Nobody’s sleeping, and I’m wide awake
Throw it all away, I can’t fly
Burn it all away, this is goodbye
So feed me, because I’m losing hope
I need you, because I’m all alone

Night

At night I reach out to you
A blood stricken hand
Only to find the truth
I’ve been lied to
I’ve been cheated
I’ve been destroyed
I’ve been beaten
So I’ve lost
What am I to do
Take up arms
And fight the black
‘till There’s nothing left
But the ashes
Oh god, the fires gone
The flame is dead
Flickering lights ‘round my head
Threaten to burn me to death
Save me, love me
Breathe into me

Trigger Religion

Hello my friend, how are you?
Let’s cut to the chase
I won’t leave without revenge
Let’s call this justice
Your right, were not friends
Gave you my heart
You tore it in two
And that was only the start
Yes, I bled for you
You never messed around
You were so nervous
And I was so proud
Changing this disservice
Shadows dance around your head
Now that you’re gone and dead

Thank God! The Devil’s dead
She got a bullet through the head
And when she screams for help tonight
To hell with her, don’t decide
To hell with her, she deserves to die

Oh yes, your brand new
You got a new face
But what will you do
When I draw this ace
I win the card game
For once you’re gone
And I’ll keep my name
While you listen to your songs
Distract yourself now
‘Cause the pains to much
And even in this cold snow
You hold onto your crutch

Thoughts

Oh god, the worlds just ended
I’m up on my arms, so defended
I heard my words, are you offended
So you thought you got away
You though you made the run
You imagined me dying
Thought it was kind of fun
Well, how’s it feel you little priss
How’s the taste of defeat
‘Cause in this war little honey
I just can’t be beat

Inside my mind, the flags are raised
Tells me this event is phased
But how can I forget
The day you cried inside my arms
Expecting me to fall, doing no harm

So the story begins tonight
Of the prince who won the fight
Bloodshed until daylight
So you thought you won this
Thought you won the prize
But inside me behind my wall
There’s a tiger in my eyes
So, how’s it feel you ruthless witch
How prickles hurt
But when the day is over baby
I’ll have the blood on my shirt

Inside my mind, the flags are raised
Tells me this event is phased
But how can I forget
The day you cried inside my arms
Expecting me to fall, doing no harm

You thought you were going down
Honey you were down already
You thought you were perfect
Babe, you can’t stand steady
You thought you ruled the world
Sugar just stop, you’re not ready

Inside my mind, the flags are raised
Tells me this event is phased
But how can I forget
The day you cried inside my arms
Expecting me to fall, doing no harm

Colors

Upon a swirling array of colors
The black of night appears
Among the people jealous
The lust of love appeals
And so the story is weaved
Within a silver web
Knowing nothing more
Then the sheets inside his bed
Poor mister, he can’t hear
He’s a deaf inside a mute
But he can always see
The laces on his shoes
Because he sees these colors
He walks the streets awry
Swaying both his legs
To make everything alright
But he knows that something’s missing
Something he really needs
Inside his broad chest of his
His beating heart it bleeds

Utopia

Lower me down from that black sky
Take away the things that make us all cry
And dull the knife that makes us all die
Burn the bridge that connects us all
Before the sinners knock over the wall
We are brothers, one in the same
Different bodies, different names
We are all players inside this game
Respect is the prize, we all win
Now imagine a world with no blood to spill
Imagine a world with no reason to kill
Imagine a world with golden gates
Now imagine a world where there is no death to face
Give me a reason to walk this way
To gently walk off the stage
‘Cause tonight there is no more play
The fire has burnt more then just our face
The destroyer has come this day
He has taken our freedom and run away
With a wicked grin and a cracking whip
He will never get away with this
Money is the prize, we never win
Now imagine a world with no blood to spill
Imagine a world with no reason to kill
Imagine a world with golden gates
Now imagine a world where there is no death to face
There is no utopia
There is no perfect land
There is only dystopia
And a man made heaven
Now imagine a world with no blood to spill
Imagine a world with no reason to kill
Imagine a world with golden gates
Now imagine a world where there is no death to face
