Pause, stranger, when you pass me by:
As you are now, so once was I,
As I am now, so you will be,
So prepare for death, and follow me.
---
To follow you I'm not content,
Until I know which way you went.

If i die, dont forget me,
Remember me, that i am free,
Dont give me false hope, and push me down,
Dont give me love, then dont make a sound,
If i die, please promise me,
That if i die,
You'll remember me.

Black is the color of a heart that has stopped beating,
It is the color of dried blood,
The color of sky, at night, when everyone is sleeping,
It is the color of a child, sleeping sweetly in their warm beds,
The color of children finding a safe spot to stay in a damp cold alleyway,
Is is the color of a childs bruises,
From their parents beating them,
It is the color of a frayed belt,
Worn down,
It is the eyes that have stopped seeing the beauty in life,
It is the depressed solider,
The soldier who came from a rough life,
Hiding his pain into hurt,
Hiding the hurt into hurting,
Hurting the ones who don't deserve hurt,
Black is the color of hurt,
It is the color that people doubt,
Is black a color?
I know its a shade,
Black is the shade, of ones sacrifice,
The value of a sacrifice lies in its necessity,
The sacrifice of a scared father,
For his scared child,
His child now living with no dad,
It is the shade of loss,
The shade of sorrow,
The shade of a child now growing to sixteen,
And the child now killing himself,
Black is the shade of death.

Wasn't shy,
Was afraid,
Not a worker,
But a slave.

You can't have light, without darkness,
Good, without bad,
The harmless, without the sharpness,
Happy, without the sad,

Truth, without lies,
Men, without women,
Cowards, without the wise,
Sinking, without swimmin',

And now how do you put creation, without a creator?
Satan, without God?

When the pain takes over, lemme heal with you,
When it feels like everyones against you, I'll fight beside you,
When lifes hard, i feel you,
When you feel all alone, I'll be there with you.
I've been there too, all alone,
Now I'm grown, now i'm known,
As the girl who overcame the anger and pain,
The girl who kept sane, kept the anger and pain contained,
I'm with you, 'cause I've been there too,
And I've lived through, and i'm seeing the beautiful view,
The pains washed away, so listen, you got a decision,
Put away that gun, this life to you has been givin',
I'll help you, all the way through, but theres 1 condition,
You gotta live.
Take my hand, oh, i know this lifes ******,
Don't be scared, i'll teach you to withstand,
Life is hard, and the journey is not easy,
But don't worry, i'll be with you completely.

I will hold your hand, from the start of life,
Through the hard, and through the strife,
I will be there, to guide you and me through,
So when you look back, I'll be right behind you,
And if you start to give up, know I'm there,
And you'll see my heart, filled with care,
In the dark, i'll hold the light,
In the war, I'll be the fight,
Please don't doubt, for me being small,
That I can't fight, for you at all,
Please don't think, that I'm lying,
'Cause I'll fight, and while doing it, I'll be smiling,
I will never give up, 'til I lose my last breath,
I will be there, until my death,
Please don't doubt me for a second,
I will hold your hand to the end.

Being kind isn't being weak,
Having mercy isn't weak,
Acknowledging the strength of others,
Is mercy and kindness,
And a brave person acknowledges the strength of others.

I wake up and wish I slept forever,
I wake up and wish I could stay in bed,
But I force myself to get up,
To make my bed,
I force myself to not let go yet,
To keep going,
I force myself to have something to live for,
No matter how much I want to give up,
No mater how much I want to fall,
I force myself,
I try so hard.

Theres things I haven't told you,
They're the things better left unsaid,
I haven't told you but I've tried to,
It's for the best i keep them until I'm dead.
*
For 1, I know you wouldn't understand,
For 2, you might run and not take my hand,
And for 3, you wont believe me,
I'll just wait until you finally see me,
For who i am.

Tell me once,
No matter how much it hurts,
I need the truth,
Even if it makes me sad,
I need to know,
To keep going on,
I want hope if your telling the truth,
So tell me.

I used to look up to you,
I used to dream of you,
Now I can see right through you,
I can see the dark heart inside of you,
The heart I trusted,
Now mines broken and busted,
You are always gonna be stuck in my mind,
No matter how hard I tried,
You lied,
I try to put it out of my mind,
But the thought always comes back, you lied,
He pushed me aside,
Like I was nothing.

The pain consumes my heart,
As I am torn apart,
Lord, have mercy on my soul,
'Cause, my Lord, I am no longer in control.



The hate once never had a hold on me,
I thought I was free,
As of now, I don't remember the feeling of happy,
'Cause everything makes me so angry.



I have to take control,
No matter the pain of the happiness they stole.

In the summer,
Staring at the stars in wonder,
Breathing deep as I hear the rolling thunder,
Thinking what I thought when I was younger,
When these same stars i was under.

Interwoven with silver and gold,
Its priceless, it cannot be sold,
Diamonds surrounding the love so fine,
Beautiful, and ****, I wish it was mine.

The one people dont look at twice,
Who people overlook,
Who people dont realize are the strongest,
Have seen more,
Have felt more,
Have lost more,
Who put the biggest smile on their face,
So people dont pity them,
They are the best listeners,
And always understand,
Because people always dont suspect the quiet one

You are not weak because you cry,
Your shedding tears in hopes the problems will go away,
Even though they never do

Mirror, mirror, on the wall,
Who will rise, and who will fall,
Mirror, mirror, on the wall,
Who will hide, and who will stand tall,
Mirror, mirror, on the wall,
Actually, don't tell me, I know them all.
