'The Beast' (09.06.08)

The Beast
Is holding
Me down,
Pushing my head
Into the sand

I try to
Break free
But the Beast
Is just
Too strong
For me

The Beast
Is making
It hard
To breathe
Nothing
But sand

His fingernails
Turn into claws
He slashes my
My face
Rending flesh
From bone

I still
Can’t escape
The Beast
As it
Is part
Of me
That I can’t deny
And I am
Just holding
Myself down

The Beast
Is inside
You and me
Trying to claw
His way out
But yet
He is free

I’m slowly changing,
Succumbing to
The animal
Inside me;
It’s tearing
Me apart
Yet I’m
Still together
As one

If you
Can’t see
The Beast
Is in me
And now
You’ve woken
It up and
It’s angry

Just leave
The Beast alone
And it will
Leave you alone

Brielle (25.06.08)

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy
See her walk out of that subway
Right in front of my eyes
Out for all to see,
If you know what I mean
She is to the left of me
And now she is to the right,
Ain’t got no guts to talk to her
Don’t you start

‘Cause she’s Brielle;
She’s explosive,
Brielle;
And she’ll win your heart,
Brielle;
She’s a red-head
Named Brielle,
Watch her go

She’s fiery, smart and hot,
She’s a wanted gal!
Public celebrity number one,
Understand?
So lock up your son ‘n’ lock your dad,
Cover your eyes and run for your life,
The gal is back in the city
So don’t you mess her ‘round

‘Cause she’s Brielle;
She’s explosive,
Brielle;
And she’ll win your heart,
Brielle;
She’s a red-head
Named Brielle,
Watch her go

Brielle,
Oh boy!
Brielle,
Oh boy!
Brielle,
Oh boy!
Brielle,
Oh boy!
Brielle,
She’s explosive/she’s always right
Brielle,
She’ll win your heart
Brielle,
She’s explosive/she’s always right
Brielle,
Watch her go

Feel Alive (08.06.08)

The room fades to black
As the white light
Surrounds me
Why did I
Fall so far
And so fast?

I still
Feel alive
Yet I know
I am dead
As I see
My broken body
Just lying there

I’m not ready
To die yet
As I still
Feel alive;
Somebody please
Find the spark
Of life
Left in me

I’m slipping off
The edge,
I’m holding on
By a thread
I don’t wanna scream
In case I’m dead

I’m sick to death
Of waiting here
Just hanging on
So I kick and scream
Just to feel alive

Suddenly a spark
Of life
Is found
And the thread
That I’m holding onto
Gets stronger
They have
Made me
Feel alive again

I feel alive again
And it drives
Me wild;
Blood is pounding
In my head
As they take
Me to the hospital

Heartache (08.06.08)

What’s love
But one
Giant heartache?

When we
First met
My heart-ached
For you

The longer
We stayed
Together
The shorter
The struggle was
For love

My heart-aches
For you,
And while
You aren’t
Near me
The heartache
Is all
The greater

It’s a yearning
To not
Be troubled
Or care
About suffering
A heart-ache
Just ‘cause
You don’t
Have love

My heart burns
For you
And when
You left
The heartache began

I miss you
Like a lost child
Misses their mum
Or like a writer
Without inspiration

I can feel
The pain spreading
Throughout my body
Like a cancer
As my heart
Aches for you

My heart aches
For your
Tender touch,
Warm smile
And friendly
Approach

The longer
I wait
For you
The greater
The pain
In my heart grows
‘Till I can’t
Take it anymore

My heart aches
Like a dying person
Longing for life
Only you
Can stop it
Aching and
Cure my
Heart-ache

I Wanna Die (06.06.08)

I wanna die
Just ‘cause
You want to die
I got a
Razor blade
For my throat
And flowers
For my coffin

Black flowers
As black
As my heart
And as black
As my soul

The pain builds,
I feel
The need
To release it
With a sharp,
Flashing blade

Slash my throat,
Cut my wrists
Or strangle me
As I wanna die

Feel free
To put a
Bullet in my head
Or a knife
In my chest

The pain
Deepens
As my
Soul darkens
Please kill me,
I wanna die

Love Is A Curse (05.06.08)

Love is a curse
That won’t leave
Me alone;
It is the coming
Night after
The end of
The day,
It is the scent
Of the storm
Blown in
On the wind

The darkness
Is a curse
Given to me
By a love
That was broken
Beyond the hope
Of repair

The curse
Has cut me
Deeper than
Any blade could;
It has left
Me marked

Love is a curse
And clouds my judgment
Darkening my sight

You hurt me
In a way
No man should
Be hurt
You cursed me
Physically,
Emotionally,
Spiritually,
And mentally

Please Dance For Me (23.06.08)

You move
Like the wind
And dance
Like the night
You shake the earth
And burn up
The sky

Please dance
For me
Make me sway
As you sigh
While we spin
Around the room

You move
Like the wind
And dance
Like the night
And you shake
The earth
With your steps
You burn up
The sky
With the flames
From your heels

Please dance for me
Make me sway
As you sigh
While we spin
Around the room

Your body works
Up a sweat
As you dance
And I beg
Of you
To dance for me

Please dance for me
As you know
You want to
And the music
Is inviting you
To join it
On the floor
