We're so far into the shadows now,
the world's been falling out,
and we've been searching for the truth,
demons chase us and we turn blue.
Heroes and villians are all just lies,
the television just covers our eyes,
we see these stories of make believe,
and try to fly away with a red cape,
only to crash and burn and break,
we're human and we make mistakes,
only panic makes us seem better again.
Soldiers and nurses all on parade,
guns over shoulders they destroy the day,
teaching us of wars and bombs that blow up,
we begin to crave the power that makes me throw up.
I'd rather bleed to death in the gutter,
than live under tyrants
I was carried off on a stretcher,
made for the weak and dieing,
but I was pretty sure I was neither of the two...
She stood above me,
as her tears flowed,
and all around I saw lights flashing,
like bright stars above,
and I felt my soul slip into the twinkling atmosphere,
while the morphine attached me to wicked dreams,
where I was nothing,
and everything was something to fear.
In my hospital be,
I lay near death,
and those around me showed they cared,
with pictures of old memories,
and flowers I'd never seen,
it was a splendid time,
cause it brought together people who didn't care about one another.

Dawn Searching The Horizon
I watch dawn searching the horizon for hope,
beauty slashed away by the echoing grey,
the bleakness sweeps across the eyes,
as the drops of pain fall from the dead skies.
I hear the screams as they shatter the surrounding scenes,
and give way to life without dreams,
while the echoes still burst forth,
leaving flames to follow behind,
leaving nothing but dead minds.
Everything fading into dust and ash,
life has done nothing but crash,
yet blissful arrogance kept us in the dark,
and in the end we pay for the pain we gave away,
we learn of the suffering,
and in the echoes I cease to hear...
And serenity no longer calls my name...
The slow rotting torment that builds inside,
the pain that slowly kills our minds,
we walk through valleys of shadows and lights,
never seeing more than whats at our side.
Life crawls at the speed of light,
yet turtles are moving faster than all I see,
and at the rate I'm falling,
I'll be stuck in a hole in the middle of nowhere,
left all alone to compare night and day,
I'll be left alone to watch the stars as the last of them fade.
Soft spoken paranoia slowly slips inside,
I feel its little hands grasping me as I wonder,
if everything is really as it seems,
the paranoia slowly gets to me.
I scream out for someone to hear,
but
There's a hole in your heart where he put his gun,
and fired his hatred straight through you.
There's a hole in your heart where all the pain seeps through,
and I watch as it slowly drowns everything about you.
I wish that I could take it all away,
but I know that I can't cause a piece will always remain,
forever it shall stay....
forever you'll know the pain.
I see your eyes as you cry,
I hear the whispers of sorrow that holds you down,
and I want to be there to hold you close,
I want to be the one that repairs that hole...
Cause he put it there and took away everything,
I wish that he could feel all your pain,
but nothing you
I'm an outlaw and a sinner,
And a cold blooded murderer,
Wanted for watching a man die from a piece of lead,
That I lodged into his head,
With a gun that made an ear-piercing echo that spread for blocks all around,
And to think that I'd never met him before.
I'm a runner on the lamb,
With bright lights flashing whenever they recognize my face,
And as I sprint away into the distant nights,
I feel life slipping…
I feel like slipping…
In the dreams that I have,
I re-enact the night I attacked,
That lonely stranger in the melodies of my mind,
The inner echoing of time itself ceases,
And as the bullet seems to rain blood across the
In my apathetic dreams,
I remember watching the sea as it turned red,
With the blood of all the dieing,
The endless wave of bodies,
That crashed against the rocks of the cliff.
And when I awoke,
I saw through my window the sun rising fast,
But when I took a step I seemed to have crawled into the past,
And without luck I made my way into a new day,
The haunting images of childhood,
Still ringing with the halls of my head,
Brought about a changing of emotions,
That led me to dive into the ocean.
Then through the sunshine I saw her eyes,
And saw the pain filled tears that leaked from her for years,
And with each passing second t
The hell this puts my shaky hands in,
When they're wrapped around my throat,
I gasp for life and try to remove my grip, but death holds me close,
And as I slip into the outer dimension,
I see a hand appear from thin air,
And try to grab my hair to pull me back to safety,
But I don't dare let this mystery pull me up from seeing Hades.
Fire spread all around and as I touch the burning ground,
Smoke fills the air and I cough out my lungs,
And before I'm done I look to the sky,
And on a platform miles high,
Stands the judge ready to convict,
I feel the noose around my neck tighten just a little bit,
But before the gavel hits floor,
Gangsters sitting in their cool rides as the skies turn blue and gold.
Astro Turf under curled toes of the rich that know no woes.
Hopeless addicts under city bridges with needles gleaming in their eyes.
Flashing lights as cars fly by on route to another drive by.
Blood sparkling dim lit streets as yet another dream is crushed.
This is our world,
This is our life,
And we are the ones who fuck up.
Hypnotic beats in the club scene pulling teens to the ecstacy of ecstacy.
Bums on streets due to endless abuse of alcohol as a tool of escape.
Young guns running with gangs in hopes of finding a place to belong.
So long dreams.
Good
Fundamentally lacking in desire,
watching the clock,
listening to the tick tock,
singing hickery dickery doc,
barely noticing the world fall apart,
as the dreams begin to stop.
The masterpiece of bleach on dirty needles,
as another kid gets addicted to smack,
eyes roll into the back of his head,
blank expressions following spastic seizures,
as the overdosing explosion of vomit from the throat,
chokes the air out of his body,
as his so-called friends run off afraid to get caught,
and have their pictures shot right before they're taken away to rot.
What's the imagination of a doped up child whose world revolves around crack?
And
This world grows cold, as the days go
We should all know the feelings
That are thrown...
Out as we go about our agendas for the day
We dont see anyone around us anymore
We are blind and more
We ripped our ears off, so the words
Would just bounce off and fly away
Maybe hit someone else in a strange way.
We dont have the power to continue loving
So we throw everyone away
Hoping our lives will not stray
Off the course we chose
Because it looked like the best way....
Deep down we know subconsciously
That we can hold all the pain
That we throw out of the window.
Today is another mistake in the making
And as we go on living
Outside of the normal.... by LostReality, literature
Literature
Outside of the normal....
Shivering, as the cold rain
pours down from far above.
Tears run across her face
as she remembers back
to when she was loved.
Pushed to the outside,
she was left to stray
farther and farther from the light
that she now hates.
Shattered memories fill
her, now, disturbed mind.
She dreams to create a
false reality she sometimes hates.
She used to wish to
fall asleep and begin a dream
that would keep her safe.
She is lost in the dark,
and now she has no more hope.
I'm losing my mind as
I play this endless game of life.
So much pain from
all the things I've lost.
I want to go blind
so I don't have to see
the beauty that is taken from eyes.
So many say that
suicide is not the way
to end the game we play, but
sometimes it's necessary
because to stay until we
reach a very hopeful end
would take a toll on
our, already, fragile minds.
The only escape from life
is the dreams we dream
when we go to sleep every night.
Always at bottom of the barrel,
Always last to be picked out.
Don't know why you are
Never picked out to go first.
You are forced to sit idoly by
As the rest disappear from your side.
Everyonce in a while you are picked out,
But not to be first, not to be complimented.
Just chosen to be picked on,
Called stupid by those who
are always in the front of the line.
Growing up hating life and other people
Isn't the way to get through the fight
We go through everyday and night.
I stare at the mirror
watching myself as I grow old.
Who knows why we let go
as fast as we began to grab hold.
Look at the timer go,
we lose more than we know.
My body laying as I am fast alseep
oh the many things I dream.
Left behind on this tiny planet
where I used to hold my hope,
all I can do is continue through
with destiny's path for this man.
Don't you understand that I am left,
stuck here walking across the ground.
Bare footed, I feel glass
cut and stab the soles of my feet.
The blood pours out as if to feed the grass
and as I feel the pain disappear,
My life is ripped from my hands.
Let down by those we trusted,
All the love we gave, was never filled
By the love that was demanded.
Our children's desires are blocked out
As we ignore their cries.
We look back at the past,
And see how our fathers were raised,
And figure maybe that is why
They treat us like they do everyday.
We have bruises that are covered by clothes,
No one sees the tears we cry, and
No hears the screams that we make
When we are hit by the ones we love
We grow up detached from the world,
Listening to others as they comment
On how morbid we truly are.
They don't know the life that
We were forced to take before we could
Go out and make
To afraid to tell my secrets
to those who are near me everyday.
I don't if I should let
my feelings out of me
because I'm afraid to try and hold
the many things that others have
to bring happiness through hope.
Stuck in the shadows where
none of my friends go.
I don't know what to do,
should I run from my feelings
or should I tell them to you?
The world is happy with
all the love it holds.
And most of the time
I get lonely because I am alone.
Right now I'm searching for
someone that can give me either
hope or a hint at what to do?
Is someone there for me to talk to?
At the point of breaking,
My body's grown weak
and my feelings are collapsing.
Over the edge of exhaustion
sleepless nights with nothing to do.
My bones are aching and
with every breath I take
the more pain it creates.
Lost in a depression and
I'm having trouble pulling through.
With every step I'm forced to take
the deeper inside the darkness I move today.
I see no signs to point the way,
and no one to help me find a brighter place.
Stumbling forwards, I mumble to myself
asking what I should do,
And though I have no answers
I have found that I can see
where the light pushes through.
Exhausted, I continue to walk
towards
My mind is a puzzle
with many different ways
to get to one place.
The only problem people have
is getting through the maze
that I have slowly built in my head
Sometimes lost, yet never amazed
at the traps that I have layed.
None have made it to the inside
where all my secrets hide.
No one has ever found a way
to look deeply without wanting to cry.
Before the good things are the bad,
all my pain and every reason I'm sad.
Many details and too many gruesome scenes
force people to turn away before they see
any part of the happy me.
All the people that I know
eventually turn and let go
Tird of trying to find
the entrance to m
Right now I am breaking,
the walls that lock in
my emotions keep me
from dreaming beautiful dreams.
All of my energy drains away
as the time drifts on,
continuously stealing parts of me.
What is wrong with my mind?
I don't understand what to do,
and I seem to lose control,
unable to keep my hold.
Drifting through fantasies,
my insanities lead me to
see things that become nothing.
Bleeding out my body is
the aura that surrounds my being.
That aura keeps me alive
even when my body feels to heavy to fly.

And churning stomachs
Really all we obsess over?
I'm sorry but I have to say
If this is it
I'll pass
Honestly
I admit I thought there was more to this
Maybe not
I'm not sure
But if all I'm paying for
Is discomfort
Then I think I'll pass away tonight
Cause it seems that if this is all life's worth
Then it isn't worth it to me.
Quite frankly you should ask yourself
"Heartbreak is all I need?"
Seriously
Look at what you're getting into
Love always comes with a fee
It's got every string attatched to you
So you wont be at ease
Is this life truly for me?
Well I guess we'll wait and see

You Were Always There
You were always there,
Always there to care,
To fight away my fears,
To wipe away my tears.
You were there when I needed someone,
After all these years and now, you're gone
You filled me with your love and hope
Without you here, I cannot cope.
You were there if I fell or scraped my knee,
Standing there with your cup of tea
You taught me how to bake a cake,
I always seemed to make a mistake.
You weren't just my gran, you were also my friend
Sadly, for this friendship, it is the end.
Now you're up there watching over me
I hope you're as happy as you can be.

As the Sun begins to rise,
I turn to you and look into your eyes
They take me to places where I've never been
They show me things which no one has seen
I see past all those acts that you put on
I see they you that is almost gone
Only I can see this side of you,
Only I can see why you do the things you do,
Only I can see the tears you cry
Only I can see the way you lie
To all the people around you.
Hearts of Sorrow.
It's you that makes me die inside,
And its always you that makes me cry.
I ask myself why I still love you,
There are no words or reasons I just do.
You were always the same, always this way,
I know you too well, I've got nothing to say
I look at my reflection, in the pool of tears,
Laid out before me, are all my hopes and fears.
They say I'm a fool for loving you,
I hear their whispers, they call you a fool too
Yet in different ways, we both are fools
You fool with my heart, I'm a fool for you.
The sound of your laugh, that twinkle in your eye
I need to let go, but my heart won't say goodbye.

Welcome to the solar system
Are you out there?
Is our little paradise alone?
Keep us company--
When our moon collides with Jupiter
Take us with you--
When our sun consumes our little planet
Show us your leader--
As long as you promise we will be loved
When our universe disembowels
And all we are is

Oh don't worry dear;
the rain is really just my world plummeting back down on me
There's no need to be scared;
I remember me when I was young and I thought everything was
going to be okay
So come along now;
the dark is just the place where my soul goes to hide
It's nothing to cry about;
the smoke is just me, and all of my hopes drifting free
Don't you fear;
the blinding light is just the place at the end of the tunnel
I promise;
the blood is just my happiness dripping from me
It's no big deal;
the fire is just my memories
And incase you haven't noticed;

Now that they're moving on without you

It's not the end of the world
Nothing is really so bad
Not as bad as you wish it would seem.
You've got your problems
But we've got bigger ones
So take some time
Give it up
We know you're really a good person
We know
We swear
But there are bigger things happening than you
And more important things
Than your lonesome self
They're not always going to be your best friend

And you cant hold onto that
Let it go
Use your mind

Its not right of you

Cricket is a nasty game.
There is a cricket in my mind
And he'll never stop chirping
Imbedding feelings into my weakened mind
Leaving every possible footprint
Anywhere it can.
These things are haunting, heaving
A weight in my head
I beg it will disappear
Pleas for mercy can never be answered
Sodomizing everything I live for
Burying myself in a world
Of plaster white
Searching for the entrance-
The exit
Feeble attempts to hide my fears
Thousands of identical chairs
Over and over
Never ending.
Stop.
