It All Comes Crashing DownTell me, do you feel the weight of the world,
All upon you, now?
Tell me, do you sense disaster,
Lurking in the past you've drowned?
Tell me, do you feel the pain?
Tell me, does it drive you insane?
Now tell me, please, why do you put yourself through this...

Over and over again?!

The war you wage!
It comes with a cost
And you can't tell,
Just how much you've lost!(It all comes crashing down!)
You've self imposed,
This sanctity!
What price would you pay,
To truly be free?(As it all comes crashing down!)

Accept your denial,
And learn to live,
You won't get a damn thing,
Unless you give
The walls are shaking,
Your chains ar
II...am a piece of paper,
That's lying before you,
As your thoughts, they waver
I...am the sips of life,
You drink, that you savor
I...am everywhere you are

I...
Am the road trip to Phoenix
I...
Am the tears as you're leaving
I...
Am your consolation
I...
Am that split second hesitation
I...
Am your exhausted patience
I...
Am the anger of the innocent
I...
Am the path you are taking
I...
Am the alarm when you're waking
I...
Am the choice that you are making
And I...
Am the smile...
That you...

Are faking

I...! Will hold you till tomorrow
I...! Will take away the sorrow
I...! Will be your blushing bride
I...! Will
Undress MeWith your eyes,
Words,
Thoughts,
Actions,

Show me what you want
Show me, what you need

Let those eyes roam where they will
Let those fingers unbutton, and never be still
Think of all the things you'd like to do
Go through the motions, decide what to choose

Will you touch me?
Will you stare?
Will you throw yourself upon me?
Will I even care?
Will we give into temptation,
Or will we draw it out and make it sweet?
Will we stop in endless captivation,
Or will we hold our lips between our teeth?

I see you look at me,
I can hear the sound of clothing hitting the floor
You see me look at you,
You get up and close the door

There
Let the Music PlayWhenever things go wrong,
We find our solace in song
When things are such a mess,
Music puts it all to rest
When things are going right,
Music adds to the delight

When everything is strange...!
Music helps us turn the page...!
Helps us look into the distance once more,
Reminds us what we are living for!

Just let the music play...!
Let it wash away the pain...!
Lift your voice, sing the refrain...!
When it's over, do it again...!
Go outside and twirl in the rain,
Come on everybody, let's go insane!
Let the music play...!
Just let the music play...

When a heart, love breaks,
Music never forsakes
No matter how much it hurts,
DownI am talking,
But you're not listening
Your head is hard as a rock,
But you're always insisting,
That you think you have,
All the answers you seek,
Living like a lion,
Among the meek

You're short in stature,
So you scream and holler,
Tell me, does it make you feel,
Just a little bit taller?

You're fighting to rise,
But only can fall!
You struggle to be right,
But always are wrong!
You sing all the notes,
But you hold them too long!
So now it's time to sing,
A different song!

You fall!
Down, down, down, down
You fall!
Down, down, down, down

Leaning to the horizon,
With all your might!
But you can't reach the end,
Eve
Breaking Down the BarricadesSo many stand in front,
And scream to you,
Tell a million lies that,
Anyone can see through
They are always shouting,
For you to choose, choose, choose, choose,
While a billion people die,
From a lack of food

We are free to be alive!
But not free to be free!
And it's your own own best interests,
To hide your sexuality!
You can have to your own opinion,
But you are not heard if you disagree!
And we live inside a world,
Where only the blind can see!
How can we exist in this place,
Where love itself is denied?
It's time to break down the barricades,
Between us, that divide...!

It's time to elevate your!
Mind...!
Elevate yo
The Days Go ByEvery birth is violent,
And painful
A rebirth is even more so...
You have to somehow hold on to,
What you were,
And at the same time look at yourself,
And see what you're worth

I am lucky,
'Cause I have angels
Those that hold me,
Those that lift me up...

I am, wondering,
Where I'm going now
I am, seeing,
Things I'd only thought about
I am losing myself in me...
I am, looking,
Myself in the eye
It's so, so easy,
When you no longer try...

Living and learning, watching the days go by

Everything that happens can,
Haunt you
But only if you allow it, if you choose...
And the only way,
That you can move on,
Is if you're pre
The Moment is BeautifulEvery moment we live and breathe,
We have the chance to open our eyes and see,
Things...a little differently,
Than we ever have before
And every moment, if we take the time,
We can discover what it means to be alive,
We find all the answers that we hide inside...

Life is accepting, it can never be denied...!

And the moment is beautiful...!
We live and learn,
We laugh and love,
Sometimes we stand alone,
But we always rise above...!
The moment is beautiful...!
Spinning around,
In anticipation,
Every heartbeat,
Is exhilaration...!

Because the moment is beautiful...

Every time we take the chance,
To take a stranger by the han
So SorryYour thoughts are spinning,
And you wish you could break free,
From the suffering and sorrow,
All because of me
And I know you're reaching,
Out to me with both hands,
You only want to stand,
But I have sent you reeling

Believe me...
I know that feeling...

And in me believe,
I am truly all that you see
I will give you anything,
All I ask is that you never stop loving...

Me...

I know that I,
I took away your faith,
And left you with pain,
I don't know what I was thinking,
I must have been insane
And I,
I know that you cry,
And every time you do I die,
A little more inside...
And I know that you see it,
Because I love yo
I Wish You Were HereI can hear your voice,
I can see you on the screen,
But it's just not the same,
As having you here with me
Because when I see you, I want to touch you,
When I hear you, I want to cry,
And I'm so sick and tired,
Of always being denied!

I...wish you were here...!
It's been such a long time,
Since your eyes, I saw clear
And I...wish you were here...!
We're just going through the motions,
And all that's left is tears

We talk into the fading light,
We stare at each other long into the night,
But not being side by side,
Means it never really feels right
Because when you talk of the places you go,
I wish I was with you,
But it se
Listen to the SoundThere is a woman,
In Moscow tonight,
Whose heart is breaking,
Whose tears are so bright
The world is taking,
All that she loves,
She had what she wanted,
But it wasn't quite enough...

So she fell...
Away...

Can you see the anger...?
Can you see the strain?
Can you feel the passion...?
Can you hear the pain?!

Listen to the sound(Listen to the sound)
As the world turns 'round(As the world turns 'round)
Listen to the sound(Listen to the sound)
As it all falls down(It all...falls down...)

Listen to the sound(Listen to the sound...)

There is a man,
Up in Vancouver,
Who loves his daughter,
But he's about to lose her

These Walls Surround MeIt's so hot,
And I am sweating
The walls are closing in,
And I think they'll get me
I see the teeth,
Their mouths are open
They will grind me down,
And leave me broken!
Can anyone save me?
That's what I'm hoping
Each night is a million years,
Of endless coping...

Alive! So alive!
These walls surround me!
They want to rip me apart!
They want to drown me!
Alive! So alive!
These walls surround me!
This time there is no escape,
This time...they've found me...

The lights are changing,
It keeps me guessing
Furniture rearranging,
It's so depressing
I hear the telephone,
But it's not ringing,
I see the window blinds move,
I
I Hope I Live to SeeI hope I live to see,
That smile upon your face,
I hope to see it in person,
Please, just one day
And I hope that the good times,
Always outweigh the bad
I hope that my memories,
Will be something I always have

I hope I live to see,
You everyday of my life,
You are the rock that holds me,
Me, you have never denied
And I hope that our future,
Is as bright as it can be
I hope that the love we share,
Lasts all eternity

And I hope that tomorrow,
Will be better than today
I hope that the sun always rises,
I hope for, I believe in change
I hope I'll always see,
Peoples hearts as they rise above
And the one thing I hope I never

What I see,
Sucks the breath out of me
Mesmerizing, vivacious,
So hypnotizing,
So very contagious

So alive...
It explodes from inside!

You glow...
You shine...!

You light up my life!
You take away my pain
So effervescent tonight!
And I fall into your eyes again
Every vision of you, a delight!
Every time it feels the same...

Beautiful, so radiant
What I see,
Just fills me up...
With this love,
I can't describe!
But every day you know I'll try...!

So...alive!
Everything you are,
Explodes from inside!

You light up my life!
You take away my pain

Everywhere You GoYou came into my life,
And you filled it up with light,
You chased the dark clouds far away...
It began with just a spark,
But that's always how it starts,
And now I give you the keys,
To...

My heart

Everywhere you go,
I'll be right beside you
Every word you say,
I'll be listening
Every time you pray,
I will be...the one who answers...
No matter what, come what may

You overwhelm me with your words,
And take away all that hurts,
You amaze me more and more, every day...
Your image lingers in my mind,
Even when you're not in sight,
And now you're burned into my senses,
It feels...

So right

Everywhere you go,
I'll be right

I Am the EnemyYou don't,
Seem to understand
Just who,
I really am
So let,
Me show you now,
Just because I can

I am not as weak,
As you'd hoped to think

I am stronger than you are,
Because I believe

So take this moment,
Look through my eyes and see...

I am the fear you hide,
I am the pain inside,
I am the enemy
I am what makes you break,
I am more than you can take,
Cause I am the enemy
I am what you want to be,
But no matter how hard you try,
You will never be me

Get up,
Off your knees,
Cause I hate,
To see you plead
You are,
So false and fake,
But you wonder why no-one grieves

You're always wanting more,
Than you really need

You look my way and say
LostSometimes in the night,
I feel so strange,
Nothing seems right
I feel afraid,
So I turn on all the lights
I feel alone,
And I stare with trepidation,
At the phone,
Wondering if it's going to talk to me,
All on it's own

And I get lost,
Inside myself
In the middle of the night,
I'm someone else,
That I don't know

Nightfall lifts me up so high,
Even when I'm crawling,
I feel like I can fly
But I'm afraid to,
Spread my wings and try,
Because...
I just might die...

Sometimes in the night,
I hear voices praising me,
With all their might
I feel disconnected,
So I turn off all the lights
I feel passive,
I feel aggressive,
AwakeIt's right there on my face...
The things I've seen,
Memories, all unerased...
Dreams and screams,
So real that I can taste...

Each and every one...

Sometimes I feel lost,
Sometimes...I feel so used,
Sometimes it's like I'm looking at a map,
That's empty, it has no clues

And even though I can see,
The world as it spins around me,
I don't see the people,
I only see symptoms of the disease

And so I...open my eyes...

And breathe

I am awake!
I am alive!
Every breath I take,
Fuels that which drives!
I am awake!
I am alive!
I raise my voice so high,
So I can take on the night!

(Awake...and alive)

It's right there in my eyes
Away From MeAway From Me

I,
I need some time
I,
I need to leave,
Run as far as I can,
To get away,
From what you,
Were to me
I,
Just want to die,
But that doesn't seem to be an option,
Cause I know that I've tried

I,
Need you to be,
So very far,
Away from me

You,
You need to go
You,
You have grown too cold,
And need to flee,
To go away,
From what you,
Were to me
You,
Make me want to die,
But that doesn't seem to be an option,
Cause I know that I've already tried

I,
Need you to be,
So very far,
Away from me

I,
Need to turn,
To walk away from the fire,
The fire that once burned
I,
I want to cry,
But I find in the end,
Split Seconds of ViolenceIn moments of passion,
We lose who we are, our way,
We forsake our evolution,
And the beast slips it's chains
Mental commands are fired in all directions,
Except the very one which is in need,
And after the explosion of anger,
That someone is bleeding is a guarantee

Fury is our own greatest rival,
One only we can control,
And the effort expended in search of it,
Slowly but surely takes it's toll
We grow weaker and weaker,
As it rears it's head and sharpens it's teeth,
And in a split second of violence,
It becomes just what it needs and feeds

The aftermath is foreordained,
It can never be escaped,
All we can do is sadly move

The Pretender

:iconthat-krimzon-stain:

Broken, almost hollow,
I am so hard to understand
But I don't think it's that you don't want to,
It's just that I make sure that you can't

(It's so hard...to stand...)

Passion! And anger!
They fuel who I am!
Loving so hard, living so loud!
All these years I've walked this land

You ask if things get clearer,
If the distance becomes nearer,
And I look you in the eyes,
And say that fear is all that's found in here...

That lie sears...

Pretending, each day,
Hoping, life's changed
Then waking up,
And being stuck,
Because everything's stayed the same...

But then I'll!
I'll open up my eyes
(I'll lie...)
I'll lie to,
Myself so I don't cry
(The winner...)
Failure,
No matter how many times I've tried
(Living...)
I'm dying,
And watching the days go by

And feeling so small...
Because I am...
The pretender...

Pain, increasing,
Loss, unceasing
And every moment that passes,
I somehow find a way...to believe...

(Sometimes, it takes deceit...)

Sorrow, so strange,
And yet, so familiar,
It's like opening a book,
And constantly reading the same page...

You ask me how I survive...!
And I tell you that I don't know!
And perhaps that is the secret,
You see the lie, but it doesn't show

Pretending, each day,
Hoping, life's changed
Then waking up,
And being stuck,
Because everything's stayed the same...

But then I'll!
I'll open up my eyes
(I'll lie...)
I'll lie to,
Myself so I don't cry
(The winner...)
Failure,
No matter how many times I've tried
(Living...)
I'm dying,
And watching the days go by

And feeling so small...
Because I am...
The pretender...

Feeling...so small...
Back against the wall,
So I don't...
Cast a shadow at all...

"Amazing", "A hero",
So many names,
The same refrain,
And I wonder,
Just what do you know?

Why do you see me so differently,
Than I see myself...?
Don't you see that my reaching out,
Is me reaching in?
I'm looking for a direction,
But I don't know where to begin...

Healing you heals me...
I wonder why no-one sees...

I shattered the whole...!
Such a long time ago!
Picking through the pieces,
To see what would stay, and what would go!

And so I!
I open up my eyes...!
(I lie...)
I lie to,
Myself so I don't cry!
(The winner...)
A failure,
No matter how many times I've tried!
(Living...)
I'm dying,
And watching the days go by
Watching it all fall away...!
Feeling so much shame!
I'm crying,
Watching the days go by
(Choking...)
I'm sighing,
Watching the days go by
And feeling so small...!
Fighting,
And watching the days go by
The past it lingers, it haunts!
So hard to find right from wrong!
But, I will!
Open up my eyes
Open up my eyes...!
While I'm,
Watching the days go by
I'm lying...!
To myself, so I don't cry
Sighing...!
Fighting,
Watching the days go by
I'm hiding,
And watching the days go by
(Tears...)
Shining,
Watching the days go by
(Standing...)
Falling,
And watching the days go by

Believing,
Relieving,
And everyone and myself,
Each day, deceiving

Feeling so small...
Because I am...
The pretender...

This began life titled "Watching the Days Go By", but it didn't feel right, it felt very wrong, so after 3 days of thinking about it, it finally hit me that the person portrayed is a liar, a pretender.

That person is me.

However, it isn't what you initially think, not even close, as anyone who has known me for more than a day will tell you.

My life is difficult, far more than the surface shows, and each day begins with me lying to myself, just to get out of bed. The lie is simple:

"This won't hurt at all."

The reality is that every single movement I make sends waves of pain throughout my body.

So I lie, to myself, I accept it, and rise above the pain, and I stand.

I pretend.

Because there is a little girl who is almost three who needs daddy to get up, to be there for her.

I'd suffer unimaginable things for her, so I lie, and pretend, I get up, and I lie to myself every moment I live.

And it WORKS.

What is taken for strength is in reality an exceptional ability to lie to myself, to deceive myself.

Because I have to.

Truely remarkable. I am amazed, this is so ridiculously good. Just for the record, anyone would be lucky to have a father like you.

Inspiring. The act itself and the intention.
