Am I worth saving
Tell me if so
But if I am not
Then just let me go
...

Sometimes when I get sad
I force my tears inside
I do not show emotion
I bottle pain with pride
...

Dance away your sorrow
Laugh away your pain
May tomorrow start a new life
Each day unique in it's own way
...

There'll be a time
When all will hear
The ballads of
All that I fear
...

Not all those with their eyes closed are sleeping
Not all with their mouths shut are dumb
War may be waged the the wealthy
But by the hand of the poor, it is won
...

I lived a thousand lives
When I first saw your face
All of our possibilities
I did pursue and chase
...

My heart is filled with fire
It's shaped just like your name
A dumping ground for love
Burned into ash of shame
...

I've felt the pain of fiery heat
And winters' cold upon my feet
But none of these shatters bliss
Like the abysmal pain of loneliness
...

I envy the monotony
Of every single clock I see
I behold the mystery of the clock
I'm jealous of each tick and tock
...

There's a tumor in me, deep down in bowels
With each passing night, it howls and growls
Twisting and turning, there's a burning inside
The pain that I feel, I can longer hide
...

Could it be so? Is my end this near?
Is that the carriage of Death I hear?
No, it can't be. I've wasted no time.
I did not play or have a good time
...

I dreamed a dream about a girl
Whose golden hair was sent a'whirl
By walking through a light fall wind
A sight I hoped to see again
...

My eyes are set in fury made by raging flame
Every god will tremble at the mention of my name
Time itself will fissure at the ripples of my veins
The planes of all creation will be shattered by my pain
...

I fell in love one day
The day I broke my heart
By her beauty, my eyes drew up
But my hope fell from the start
...

Logic cannot save me
Only hysteria gives me hope
For my descent into depression
Ration has no rope
...

Madness is a flame
By the sparks in life
This being the case
I'm an inferno in our strife
...

Fathom my depression
Understand my pain
The god that I once worshipped
Has only scorn unto his name
...

For what reason do I bother?
For what reason do I write?
Paper has no feelings
It cares not for my plight
...

When the world around you crumbles
As tears roll down your face
Just remember this
You will always have a place
...

Have you called upon the reaper
As you cried from all the pain?
Have you forced a broken smile
Whenever you've heard your name?
...
