1. A HERO'S TRIAL

Soo this is what it feels like when dreams come crashing Down. and the lies you spoke no longer hover out of reach.

This is where the stones we so carefully built our future On slip into the sea. there's the bitter taste of remorse In my mouth, and the shadow of betrayal on my face.

The tears have been flowing for so long i forgot how to Stop...her defense was up and the verdict was in.
"I need to see you tonight", I said.
"But I'm scared", was her only reply.

But I doubt she saw her life,
Pass right before, her eyes.
Oh how less painful death, would be.

And what an elegant dance [we could make it], make it Seem.
And every happy memory of us is slowly playing in my mind.
And im transfixed by her smile and her laughter.
But for now I hate her eyes.
Eyes that can slow sunsets and catch shooting stars.
Eyes that stole my heart, but for now I hate her eyes.

[Background]

I'll forget you ever thought of yourself without me, and Brought to my attention just how lonley this world can be. Just take it all back. we both know i can happily act Naive. and these blankets of hope that used to smother me Are now mere threads... slipping through my caullused Fingers. im sorry you took every word i said to be a Promise


2. TEAR STAINED LIES

Black lines where your eyes used to shine. cross our Hearts, we're sippin' shots of cyanide. kiss my lips and Taste this, this suicide. we sleep with the enemy and kill What we love. cursed with the gift of beauty. you weild it Like its... a loaded gun. so lets burn our bridges before They're built. never say "i love you" till blood is spilt.

Choke on my name... as you whisper. can you taste the Blood on your lips as the syllables slit your throat.

You say that im everything that you want...well im Everything that you hate, and it goes unsaid.
The way you whispered, you lied. you always lie to me Again.

With these broken windows and these tear stained lies i Wont be sleeping alone tonight.
But we tried... we tried so hard...

So explain this time with the barrel of a gun down your Fucking throat.
I said i loved you, but now you make me choke on my words.


3. PHOTOGRAPHIC MEMORIES

Taken back to a day when eyes
Said so much more than hollow words screamed.
Sometimes these stares left scars.
And now our thoughts collide.
At 2am our lips spark fire to the horizon.
Bathe these streets in gasoline, we'll dress this city in Flames.
Words are worthless when looks can betray us.
Lives are broken when romance dies...
Sleep with photographic memories, they lay deceased.

And now all i have is this gallery of faded pictures... in The crimson daylight
And the garden of grey roses is still there... and they Smell so sweet.

Words are worthless when looks can betray us.
Lives are broken when romance dies...
They hide knives in their smiles.
Fake apathy to avoid a broken heart.

So ill write this story one last time. these pages are Worn some empty inside. but i speak my heart, i give my Word, and all i ask is for nothing in return. just take me For what im worth, take me for what you see, cause i cant Live without you. you mean everything to me.


4. EMPTY MOANS AND SENTIMENTS

Her cold blue eyes reflect like static on a broken Televison, except without the hiss.

Her blood red lips are cracked like the desert floor.

And she never gave me a chance to see her true Colors...and now its too late.

Her love is priceless but her body's cheap. baby nothings Free.

Yea. yea.

And through her open mouth screeches the sound of a Dialtone that no one can hear. so the phone stays off the Hook and her glazed stare begins to slowly flicker out Like another broken down street light in a run down Neighborhood.

The dim light shines just bright enough to show a little More than the silouhette of a scantilly clad whore. pounds Of make up and smeared mascera taint a once picture Perfect beauty queen face. she has the marks of a track Star, but she never ran a race.
