I'm scared to love anyone
I'm scared to let anyone in
I'm scared that all the memories
Will press play and begin
I'm scared to let myself feel
I'm scared to leave this dream
I'm scared to feel something real
Life's harder than it seems
I miss the silence
I miss the feeling without pain
Who am I kidding?
It's always been there
I've never been free
Pain is a part of me
There's only one way to break the chains
Of this eternal pain
This burning flame
This overwhelming shame
Taking the easy way out
Erasing this cloud of doubt
Erasing me

I'm so sad
I'm always mad
Mad at the world
Mad at myself
Mad at the pain
And mad at tears
Because I cry a lot
I hate it
Makes me feel weak
I don't like talking about my feelings
I never have
Chasing a picture of a life I'll never have
Chasing a a world beyond my grip
My heart needs saving
But it's out of reach
For anyone ordinary
I love someone, but can they love me back
No ever has
They can claim that they have
Maybe they believe it
But it's not true
If I can't love myself
I can't be loved by you
Always going around
And around
The faster I get
The dizzier I become
Like a high
It blurs out the world
And the darkness stays at the threshold
And I'm safe for the moment
But only for the moment
I'm never truly safe
Never

When angels die
They leave no mark
When they go
There is no spark
No tears are shed
No hearts are broke
No pain mislead
No words to choke on
When angels die
The leaves won't fall
When they go
No loved ones call
When angels die
The world grows dimmer
The pain is stronger
And love is slimmer
When angels die
The pain haunts easier
The face of evil
Grows sleazier
When angels die
The pain puts you down
You fall a little faster
And you hit the ground

I'm so tired of all the anger
I'm so done with all the pain
This world is getting stranger
I'm wearing all the shame

The blade is growing blurry
And my conscience is butting in
I'm doing this in a hurry
And the guilt is kicking in

This hole in my heart is starting to get deeper
Hello hello?
Is anyone there?
The blood drips
And time grows slower

Trapped inside
I burry the pain
Alone I hide
To disguise my shame

Burry me beneath the Willow tree
Hold your tears, do not cry for me
Cast my soul along the river
Bite your lip, do not quiver

Don't bring me flowers to show your love
I will always see from high above
Don't cry for me, many a night
For when you're blind I'll be your sight

Trapped inside
I burry the pain
Alone I hide
To disguise my shame

Summer, my missed friend
I'm waiting for winter to end
I miss your rays
As you smile bright
I miss the warm days
As I lay beneath your light
I miss the laugher you filled me with
I miss the leaves that flood the trees
I miss the breeze that I snuggled in
And the happiness you granted me
I miss the trips to the lake
And the days spent with my friends
I miss the way the sun would shake
And made the day seem like it would never end
I miss the gentle winds at night
And how I comfortably sat beneath the stars
I miss the summers moonlight
As I lay on the hood of the car
I miss the water wars I would fight
And the bomb fires we sat around
I miss the summer landscape sight
And the heat of the ground
So dear summer please come quick
My soul is in need of your warmth
Your warm smiles so thick
I will openly absorb

It seems you only catch my good dreams
And give me all the nightmares
But perhaps there's something good beneath horror
A message I must see
So all the gruesome scenes I'll endure
And then maybe when I finally find it
All the nightmares will flee
Not the best that I've done
