Perfect Tragedy

I stumble through this caustic night so broken sore and sick
The stars as bright as sharpened knives with blades that kill you quick
Its brilliant opalescence takes my life and steals my soul

The icy fangs of nightfall stops my heart and takes control
This is the moment take this kiss and take my hand
The chilling torment we must face will help you understand
The time we've spent together is the rapture you must bear to see
This is a perfect tragedy
To see the face of evil is to look into my fear
The murky depths of sorrow that has plagued me through these years
The only light to touch me is the flame of your desire
Your crimson lips and fingertips have burned me with their fire
Angel
This is the moment take this kiss and take my hand
The chilling torment we must face will help you understand
The time we've spent together is the rapture you must bear to see
This is a perfect tragedy
The night has come to kill me
The night has come to kill me
This is the moment take this kiss and take my hand
The chilling torment we must face will help you understand
The time we've spent together is the rapture you must bear to see
This is a perfect tragedy

The Angels With the Dirty Faces


Passion escapes from your chest
The rapture of your breathing
Whispered curses are confessed
Your words so self deceiving
Destined to Be Destined to See
This torment inside me
Take this pleasure take this poison
The night will set you free
All the lies that have been said
Those words echo through my head
Hopeless heartache Helpless mistakes
This night will set you free
Drifting further from the blessed
Confessions so misleading
Vestal verses sound distressed
the victim of your pleading
Destined to Be Destined to See
This torment inside me
Take this pleasure take this poison
The night will set you free
All the lies that have been said
Those words echo through my head
Hopeless heartache Helpless mistakes
This night will set you free
Lust changing into sorrow
Hope dying like the day
No hope of a tomorrow
We'll fade away
Your just
Destined to Be Destined to See
This torment inside me
Take this pleasure take this poison
The night will set you free
All the lies that have been said
Those words echo through my head
Hopeless heartache Helpless mistakes
This night will set you free

Solemn Song for the Bleeding Masses

Let me be
Im beaten by the words you've said to me
Set me free
These chains of desperation make me see
All the hate
That you force fed to me and called it love
Its too late
You wont find any answers from above
I Lie awake at night
Torment tearing through my mind
I Lie awake at night
Fearing all the things I'll find
There is nothing left to say
Your words cut me like a knife
Hoping I can Find a way
To make it out alive
What to do
Theres nothing that remains of me and you 
So Untrue
To think that lust would let love rise anew
Dark regrets
The light has left my soul so long ago
Just forget 
Theres nothing left of me that you would know
I Lie awake at night
Torment tearing through my mind
I Lie awake at night
Fearing all the things I'll find
There is nothing left to say
Your words cut me like a knife
Hoping I can find a way
To make it out a live

Spelling Errors In Love Letters

There's not much left in me
Of who you want me to be
Just dark desires and these hopeless seductions
I'm just your next regret
The one that made you forget
Your common sense and all those spoon fed instructions
Save Them
Say When
your giving up on lust so dark and deceiving
Grave sins
Gave In
To all these tangles in the lies weve been weaving
Were hopelessly entombed inside a love we cannot save
So unsanctified we spiral through the passion to our graves
Lies white as ivory skin
Temptation pulling you in
A simple smile and a planned introduction
Dreams black with misery
With things I want you to see
This hopeless romance and your subtle destruction
Save Them
Say When
your giving up on lust so dark and deceiving
Grave sins
Gave In
To all these tangles in the lies weve been weaving
Were hopelessly entombed inside a love we cannot save
So unsanctified we spiral through the passion to our graves
Follow me into this darkness
Let lust consume the day
A Love so insincere and heartless
Has taken me away
Bodies twisted in the pleasures
of forbidden travesties
Blackened souls tarnished forever
by this damning disease
Were hopelessly entombed inside a love we cannot save
So unsanctified we spiral through the passion to our graves
We are hopelessly entombed inside a love we cannot save
So unsanctified we spiral through the passion to our graves

The $1.14 Suicide

So this is the man I’ve become
A scapegoat for all thats gone wrong
I'm so weathered away by your tears
So I am wearing you down with this song 
I see you
So Abused
so broken down and paralyzed
I see through
your excuse
Your hollow words and hopeless sighs
It kills me
How you use
my ignorance to stab my back
I gave love
you refused
And now your slipping into 
Black Horizons
close your eyes and
drift from this life
leave me tonight
your taken from me
and now I can see the pain that
lived inside you
as you fall through 
Drift from this life leave me tonight
I know that I was so naive
Your taken from me and now I can see
The awful things that made you leave
You see me
this last plea
to make you open up your heart
You stare through
all these truths
And let the lies tear you apart
Its hopeless
Im helpless
I cannot get you back on track
I'll love you
regardless
But now your slipping into 
Black Horizons
close your eyes and
drift from this life
leave me tonight
your taken from me
and I finally see the pain that
lived inside you
as you fall through
Drift from this life
Leave me tonight
I know that I was so naive
Your taken from me
And now I can see
The awful things that made you leave

Lost Lament

Youve drawn a line
So Long that heavens arms can't reach
Youve tasted wine
So bitter nothing else will ever be so sweet
And You will never set me free
A Tortured portrait I can't even see
You took my life away from me
A Fallen Angel drenched in agony
Your cold caress
Enchants a soul so worn and dark
Desperate Distress
Is growing in you from the torment in your heart
And You will never set me free
A Tortured portrait I can't even see
You took my life away from me
A Fallen Angel drenched in agony
And I'm drowned by your duress
this lost lament
And I'll never get away
And I'm caged by your caress
So heaven sent
And I'll never get away
I know I'll never get away
I just can't get away
And You will never set me free
A Tortured portrait I can't even see
You took me life away from me
And You will never set me free
A Tortured portrait I can't even see
You took my life away from me
A Fallen Angel drenched in agony

Daddy's Little Martyr

Now you will see
The scars youve left have fueled my misery
Cut out the Lies
This wicked blade will silence all your cries
Your grave
Those empty threats you made
Those carnal games we played
Have scarred these wrists
and chased my faith away
Your screams have set you free
your perfect misery
Has blurred your eyes and
taken you from Me
Now you will see
The scars youve left have fueled my misery
Cut out the Lies
This wicked blade will silence all your cries
Pain
So Frantic and Insane
So brutal and arranged
Has Torn my mind and rotted through my brain
Your plans have been denied
Your angels have all lied
Theres no escape so give your life to me
Now you will see
The scars youve left have fueled my misery
Cut out the Lies
This wicked blade will silence all your cries
Stare into my eyes
Surrender your life
Your agony
Give it to me
Shed your faith and die
Now you will see
The scars youve left have fueled my misery
Cut out the Lies
This wicked blade will silence all your cries
Now you will see
The scars youve left have fueled my misery
Cut out the Lies
This wicked blade will silence all your cries

Lines of Decay

These broken sentences I write
Entomb the Feelings I can't Speak
The Darting Pen that Scars the Page
Leaves Blotchy sentiments so bleak
These paragraphs That Cage my Words
Trap all my fears so they can't stray
Forcing an order to the Lines
Keeping my troubled thoughts
Away
And I know these pages keep this pain
Away
And I know these words allow me to remain
These Cursive lines a Jagged Blur
As if the consonants had Tears
The hurried lines Huddled so Tight
The words immortalized in Fear
This Yellowed Paper shows its wear
The Corners eaten by Decay
The ink has Faded into time
But it still keeps these thoughts
Away
And I know these pages keep this pain
Away
And I know these words allow me to remain
These Vivid Visions haunt my mind
Tearing through Every Memory
Wrenching Apart all that they find
They struggle gasping to break free
This churning Chaos in my head
Is pouring out onto the page
Flooding the Paper with such Loss
Washing my troubled Thoughts
Away

Porcelain on a Pale Horse

Such a Fragile Beginning
Cracked by the overwhelming weight of this bitter end
Losing More Than I'm Winning
I know the Games Been Fixed
But I'll Ante up Again
False Hopes Climb as I'm Falling Apart
I've Come to terms with this fate that I must accept
I hold on to the fear in my heart
Cause when thats gone
I think There will be nothing left....
Wading Through all the Tears and Blood
I'm Hoping I am Cleansed on the other side
Dragged Through all of the Pain and Mud
I'm Reaching out to this life that I've been Denied
And I'll Harness this Sorrow
Keep it as Strength to Guide my hand through this empty life.
When there is no tomorrow
I'll finally release the things that only exist inside
Let it cover a world where nobodys standing in my way
Let it smother the light of our final Days......
Such a helpless endeavor
Clinging to hope as if it has any cares at all
Wrapped in darkness forever
Shrouded by harsh neglect with my back up against the wall
Scratch the Surface but Claw in the Depths
This ugly truth breaks gnashing from its cage
Full of anger and steam on its breath
This fire inside is burning with searing Rage...
Wading Through all the Tears and Blood
I'm Hoping I am Cleansed on the other side
Dragged Through all of the Pain and Mud
I'm Reaching out to this life that I've been Denied
And I'll Harness this Sorrow
Keep it as Strength to Guide my hand through this empty life.
When there is no tomorrow
I'll finally release the things that only exist inside
Let it cover a world where nobodys standing in my way
Let it smother the light of our final Days......

Curtain Call

Cut these ties and let me drift away
This is the final curtain of this epic play
Stop these lies and let the walls come down
They crumble brick by brick and scar this sacred ground
Just walk away I will be better off alone
Just let me be so I can suffer on my own
Ill fade away and find a better kind of place
Ill move on and disappear without a trace 
So Take a bow and always leave them wanting more
Take a breath and leave your heartache at the door
Take your time and make sure the moments right
Take these words and fade away into the night
Cut the lights and let the starlight filter in
Cut the sound and let the stabbing silence win
Stop the show theres been some misdirection here
Stop the lies its time to make this illusion clear 
Just walk away I will be better off alone
Just let me be so I can suffer on my own
Ill fade away and find a better kind of place
Ill move on and disappear without a trace
Cut the lights and let the starlight filter in
Cut the sound and let the stabbing silence win
Stop the show theres been some misdirection here
Stop the lies its time to make this illusion clear
Take a bow and and always leave them wanting more
Take a breath and leave your heartache at the door
Take your time and make sure the moments right
Take these words and fade away into the night

And from now on you'll always be
So Far Away From Me
