Livin' the High Life

Livin' the high life
And I'm not ready to die
For the prudent crimes
I commit at night
This is the high life
I'm not living in shame
Loving the feel of pain
All for my gain

Livin' the high life
Tonight I'm ready to kill
For my bloodthirstiness
So to satisfy
Loving the high life
I'm not hiding myself
And no containment cell
Will stop me

All for me
That's true
I've got the high life
Business to attend to
Nothing will
Nothing will stop me

Livin' the high life
Still not ready to die
I should hate myself
But I can't, oh why?
I'll take the high life
Over anything else
And bask in the blood
Of all my peers

Nothing will stop me

Livin' the the high life
Why haven't I been caught?
'Cause the bodies of those
I've killed, they rot
Dead from the high life
Can't turn it's back on me
I'm a raving lunatic killer
Nothing will stop me

All for me
That's true
I've got the high life
Business to attend to
Nothing will
Nothing will stop me

Livin' the high life
Still not ready to die
Nothing will stop me
Nothing will stop me

The Stand

What makes sense when something bleeds?
That something that helps you be
A man, a mystery, a journeyman unclean
Destroyed as if it was nothing

What makes life so worth living?
There's always something striking you down
To be or not to be is not the right question
If it seems nothing is making sense

I need an answer
I demand answers!

Need an answer
Praise a lord or hold myself mercy?
I can hide
I can run for life
I can do all I can to stay my current path
But can it stand to last?
Who knows...

No one knows

WHERE ARE THE ANSWERS!?

If I can't find my way about the struggle
Mark my words I'll find the solution
Clear mind is bliss when you know the truth
If you can call it truth

If I see a light, will it be omega?
For one to know is to unfold the answer
If I see the light will things then make sense?
Or rather obliterate dignified pretense

I need an answer
I demand answers!

Need an answer
Praise a lord or hold myself mercy?
I can hide
I can run for life
I can do all I can to stay my current path
But can it stand to last?
Who knows...

I need an answer
Who knows?
I demand an answer
But who's to know?
I can hide
I can run for life
I can do all I can to stay my current path
But can it stand to last?

Who knows...

No one knows

Day By Day

Thoughts
I subside
Wisdom
Like bloom of trees
Growing
Where to now?

Bells
Whistle birds
Notes
Sounds of love
Whispering
For what I listen?

Hands
Of children
Tears
So special
Make life complete
So to grow?

Wash
And learn peace
Sun
Setting body
The mind sinks
Into sleep
For another day?

Thankful

My last breaths greet me
Too scared to smile
Despite relative peace
I'll never live again
The spark at my fingertips
Slowly vanishes
In this season I Fall
No head up high for Spring
The one who brought me here
Thankful for all my life


Laying in my last bed
Her hand overlaps mine
The soft whisper of serenity
The presence of family
Meets dimming life
The one who brought me here
Thankful for all my life
She praises me for the path
That I took on
In her warming embrace


In this cold empty place
Calmed by the grace
Of her warming embrace
I forget all the times
Where I felt hurt & fear
Darkening of the stars
Things fade to a blank
As my eyes see her face
The one who brought me here
Thankful for all my life


The one who brought me here
Thankful for all my life
She praises me for the path
That I took on
In her warming embrace
The last thing that I see
All I could ever ask for
The face of the one who made me
The one who brought me here
Thankful for all my life


Lifted and no longer
Distraught
And my mind fades
Away

Strife

We don't need your cheap allegations
Just reap what you've sown and read your lessons
Mind over matter is what matters most
And for a better life for all let's make a toast

We don't need your bludgeoning lies
Cause unlike you we bare open minds
Polite or not, we're not blind friends
And if you must make it come it'll all end

You don't run our lives
You can't read our minds
We are free of your iron fist
And you will not be sorely missed
Mark my life
Mark my life
Mark my life
Mark my life

We don't want your everlasting presence
Just accept this and you'll get a full sense
Mark our words you won't even last here
Cause if we're pushed we'll bring on the fear

We don't care for all of the pulled strings
Since you arrived we've felt nothing but stings
Our hearts are set in stone and will never change
And if it must be so then there'll be a war we'll wage

You don't run our lives
You can't read our minds
We are free of your iron fist
And you will not be sorely missed
Mark my life
Mark my life
Mark my life
Mark my life
Leave by strife

Mark my life
(Your strife)
Mark my life
(Your life)
Mark my life
(Your strife)
Mark my life
(Your life your strife)

So go ahead and try to pull the strings!
Never again will you overcome me!
Leave us
Or die

Six Feet Under

Why live this life?
In a self-made hellish damaged mind
It's not right
To live when I cannot reach my dreams
So I realized
That I have died, deep inside the recesses
Time has shown
I'm an enemy of my own
Would I be better six feet underground?

What's the point
Living a life that's been whisked away
End my life
Things would be better six feet underground

Six Feet Under

Pull out my eyes
They've seen so much trauma through these times
Don't save my life
Sanity's gone and I am not alright
So I realized
That I have died, deep inside the recesses
Time has shown
I'm in a league unknown
Would I be better six feet underground?

What's the point
Living a life that's been whisked away
End my life
Things would be better six feet underground

Six Feet Under
Six Feet Under
Six Feet Under

Pull out my eyes
They've been through hell
And planted seeds where demons now dwell
Dissect my mind
It dreams suicide
Marked by a cursed existence built through time
Scars burning inside the hurting resides
Everlasting torture of a crippled mind
Things would truly be better
Six feet underground
Forever

What's the point
Living a life that's been whisked away
End my life
Things would better six feet underground

Six Feet Under
Six Feet Under
Six Feet Under

The Dragon Sheds it's Skin

Things will never be the same again
Not at all
Feel like shedding away all my skin
Loveless one

I am living in shame today
Like I'm soulless
So hit or miss
Lost a soulmate
Now I must wait

She was in my dreams again
A love I longed
Like burning blades of pain cutting
Oh how I wronged

I am losing the game today
'Cause I'm soulless
So hit or miss
Lost a soulmate
Now I must wait

Time must heal these open wounds
In the meantime
For now I grieve from the truth
Much on my mind

I am in need of the best today
While I'm soulless
So hit or miss
Lost a soulmate
Now I must wait

To heal
The dragon sheds it's skin
