From Autumn To Ashes

A coarse exhalation of lungs that pray for pity My two fingers punching the keys diligently Trembling ground pushed my glass off the table Spilling the blood of the son of your idol If it were not for the extensive bug collection I would know not what Ive foun...

Weight leaves in anger from my shoulders. Words of wisdom crush hope. What is real? I thought I knew. How could I lie to someone, I cared for? How could you lie to me, your words, pierced me. For good, this was done. In the end the truth will shine. To instill...

I felt you slip away, far away from me, further from me. You seem to drift. I caught myself wishing you back. As I fight to catch you. Anger, wells inside me. I see me, frowning in your eyes. I see, the fear in you, where none should ever be. I am here for you...

Young women and young men Forgive us if you can Abandon your best friends It's demanding and filled with detriment Leaving your lover home waiting Putting much faith in her patience Don't fool yourself it's not endless Phone calls are poor consolations We've...

In you I see further. Can it last forever? Identify your patients, XY configurations Words are lost in your eyes. One thought inside my heart. Drop addicts in the mixture, falcons have blown the fixture Think of me as days pass us by. Shards of glass Skin of g...

The tears suspend. Smiles are not more than (empty love) Locked doors can keep you alone Forever paint words (from your lips) in a house that's no longer your home Take the dreams I know (as my own) and it worsens weekends Thanks again for my misery. And you r...

Oh why cant I be what you need a new improved version of me but i'm nothing so good no i'm nothing just bones, a lonely ghost burning down songs of violence of love and of sorrow i beg for just one more tomorrow where you hold me down fold me in deep deep deep...

The sound of my breath flutters past your ear Tearing down fear Grasp your heart strings by their frayed ends to choke down the feeling left inside The sands of time slide down your cheek in the form of liquefied dreams Each one stands for more than the next Y...

Creation imperfect Do you defy this? Could you and your swollen ego fit into my master plan for failure? I take the shame to heart and lock it away in a place thats sees not the light of day I will use it when i see your face again (your head in your hands and...

The end result of so many meetings At late night dinners with no one eating We sit in corners and sip burnt coffee Count the tiles upon the ceiling Skip this pretense and cut straight to dying Don't pick me to keep your eyes from crying You said so much withou...

Steam rising and spiraling. Then vanish in the wind. I can’t tell where the land Ends and they sky begins. Are you acquainted with The threat of being killed. Are you conversing with pigeons on the windowsill. And every battle has been fought And ever...

Pressing on about our business Comfort is getting too expensive Hot shots for the pigeons with a death sentence Your something like a pistol that’s been polished bright But if it never leaves the holster it can never save your life I need a meaning I can get b...

On the might of kings and captains On the eyes of midnight watchmen I know my hatred is perfect for the culprit Who deserves It dead meat Against your broken bones Thrown in a ditch to die alone But there is no dream Worth pursuing When there is no body embrac...

In a world of despair, our lives will end Some without warning, while others die by design Under watchful eyes, we tread on evil ground, with jaded eyes around us each step is scrutinized (in the pouring rain, we speed this car, i try so hard, wish i was more...

I thought about the end today The final chapter The last scene Ending what is here and what is now And all there is to come. No hope for tomorrow, for today. Through all this talk, on how numb. There's one just out of reach. On how numb, and you bet it shows,...

So I'm sorry, as two hands open doors. So I'm sorry, Something serene to steal my life away. Climbing on the way up, Sizing up the competition, waiting for the right time, To strike a chord and change your life. Don't you ever think for one-second that i wil...
