alone against the wall

topless rhetoric spun across the stage to a beat that evoked the pain of truth in me


faultless toxicity runs through my open wounds for everyone to see


abominated and abound by the chosen jest that was so easily handed down again in that instant replay


lost in the mix I wonder exactly what it is that I'm suppose to say


everybody wants a fuckin' piece of the emotional pie, uncaring if I'm left with none


it seems it's all come down to gestures of love in vane, leaving the game without one


bellowed out a miserable rhapsody as the choir joined in to place a bet on the term harmonized


blood flows freely from the veins that should have been removed or cauterized


the romantic tragedy packs a powerful punch just past the punch line


addiction maddened by such insidious lies to the final crime


alone against the wall


this bullshit was my call


tonight I'll cry into the darkness and see past every part of this


my strength is made perfect in my own defiant weakness


so journey back from where you came and fly away


nothing left to prove, your lies are all that's left to say

the soft kiss

it is time to say goodbye, it is time for the end


no more happiness found now that I am free of sin


it's a lonely walk down an empty street, I can't seem to care


when I reach out my hand, no one is there


left to embellish the past with taunts of returning to the start


making war out of love became my perfected art


only bridges burned just beyond the insanity of yesterday


a voice shouting out that has nothing left to say


so much damage, so many battlefields with hearts left broken


so easily scoffed at the madness in the words I have spoken


the keys won't work on the door, my soul is out of business


my pain is so great that my damnation is listless


only a few more steps to a journey of finality


the soft kiss of death is all that's left for me
