Utter

Words are meaningless melodies
Sung by the foolhardy
Priceless as it is worthless in reality
Hummed by many a those who would venture a guess
Clueless in denial
Listen to the words of wisdom from a cretin
Denouncing the world as he sees fit
Nothing ventured nothing gained
Nothing learned nothing earned
Fabricating every cynical sentence of self fulfillment
Loathe and self pity
Profound and ugly
Contradicting discrepancies
To be different is to be the same and to be the same is expected
Callous are words when meant and not said
Deeper a cut it inflicts upon you
Wounds running deep with every word uttered
Never again will I succumb to petty promises
Never again will I fall so deep for words so cheap
Never again
Never again...

And so it is...

And so it is
Just like you said it would be
Life goes easy on me
Most of the time
And so it is
The shorter story
No love, no glory
No hero in her sky

I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes...

And so it is
Just like you said it should be
We'll both forget the breeze
Most of the time
And so it is
The colder water
The blower's daughter
The pupil in denial

I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes...

Did I say that I loathe you?
Did I say that I want to
Leave it all behind?

I can't take my mind off of you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off of you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind...
My mind...my mind...
'Til I find somebody new

Crystal

And so finally,
Now I see,
What you really are to me...

Truth be told

The truth in lies are often told in silence,
Seen but not heard, shown but not mentioned
Secrecy is the truth best told in whispers
Bestowed upon deaf ears.

Ignorance is bliss, and bliss is a virtue
Conformed to the engaged rules in which it represents
Good triumphs over evil on a good day
Or so they say
Dwelling in the depths of the heart
Ernest succumbs to malevolence
Darkness prevails in the absence of light
Dangling a glimmer of hope for those who wish it
False beliefs for fools who would try to grasp fantasy
When reality falls upon us
Those who choose to be blinded by faith and promises
Are awaken by the weight of what is to be

Slumber in a sinner's crib
Lingering thoughts of nonsensical psychobabble
Meaningless are words, actions are heard across
A crescendo that echos throughout the planes
To yield is elementary
To fight a losing battle is redundant
Escape is a choice not to be made but revealed
Running in circles never understanding the reasoning behind the lies
To be enticed by the rewards of retribution and salvation
A fool to believe there would be a light at the end of the tunnel
Pointless to an extent of numbness
The sensation of pain is overcome by empty plights of emotions
Crossing the thin line of love and hate
To love is to hurt, to hurt is to be human
And I am only human...

Bad Memory

I just remembered why I got out of one...
