1. BOTTLED SORROW

Agony retching up my spine,
Mental state so well confined.
Flowing thoughts which make no sense,
A showered blessing of ignorance.

Deceiving thoughts which flood my mind,
Distort my vision and lag behind.
Emotional wreckage as clear as day,
Drowning in the pool in which I lay.

Bottled sorrow fermented with time,
Losing all as I tow the line.
Echoing voices in my head,
Always asking why?

Mindless drone living a lie,
Dead to the world don’t ask why.
Capable of so much more,
Lost in myself my personal war.

Shrouded in fear no where to turn,
The things long gone are what I yearn.
Conjuring demons to quell my fears,
Drifting away unknown face looking back in the mirror.


2. SHADOWED

A harsh reality bound by chains,
Punished and cursed nothing but pain.
Oh God please wake me now,
This nightmare must have an end.

Drown in worries tonight,
When will I see the light?
Please help me find the key,
And I’ll be well upon my way.

Look up at the sky of the night,
Someone look upon me
Do I say my goodbyes?
Or will I conquer.
Love blinds the fault of her mind,
Does fate mean forever?
Paradise out of sight,
Release this torture.
Shadowed

I wonder where you are out there,
Is there a reason why I care?
Foolish game one can play,
That in the end both will lose.

Why should I worry tonight?
Were you even worth the fight?
Angel eyes that weaken me,
May be the devil in disguise.


3. WASTING AWAY

Spinning a web of lies and deceit,
Encompass all which lay beneath.
A maze of steel surrounding me,
Leave behind the man that I used to be.

So I start to digress from a state of pure bliss,
Realizing that the weight of the world is crashing on me.

Left all alone,
Wasting away.
Sea of regrets,
Engulf me.

Enter my mind and look around,
Remnants of a once fine crown.
I sold my soul for a chance to advance,
One step forward and numerous steps back.

So I start to digress from a state of pure bliss,
Realizing that the weight of the world is crashing on me.
And looking back, everything appears to be so succinct,
Now I understand that destiny was never made so clear.

Change this life that’s haunting me,
To what it’s supposed to be.
Cannot face my own reflection,
Struggle with reality.
