1.
When Night Falls Were you given the softest kiss by the darkness around you Having fed upon the empty souls & the heart still untrue When Night Falls will you levitate above your body & look deeper When Night Falls & you realize you were adored by the reaper In the mansion overlooking Lochness you spoke to the beast Consuming the darker knowledge which was devoured as a feast When Night Falls & the madness within begins to summon me Speaking in reverse to the guardians of the shadows that I see When Night Falls beneath the bleeding sky & death is forever free
2.
Underneath The Pain Some drink to forget the pain or create more pain in order to feel This heart suffocating from the addiction that the needle began to steal Blackened track marks like the road map of a lost soul dying to let go Eyes rolling back to reveal the truth Underneath The Pain that I show And those scars & tiny holes reminding the fool of the cruelty life gave Underneath The Pain & the sickness of memories the heart can no longer save If you could just go back & do what needed to be done so I don't have to feel anymore Underneath The Pain is the ultimate reality of a deserving death beyond the black door
3.
Tears Of Darkness Within the vicious cycle of a nervous soul afraid to trust Taken in by the beautiful words of light that was real to me Crippled beyond repair, this heart left behind without a care Tears Of Darkness only seen by the spectres who torment my sleep Collapsed upon the floor, this intoxicated fool is no more There is no healing said the waiting ghost who never let go Slipping into delerium & forgetting how I once began to shine Tears Of Darkness allowing the world to know you were always mine
4.
Too Many Episodes The story is mine to conceal & the burden is hidden deeper Tales of lost research & secret words whispered to the reaper Mentally crushed & driven insane by the flashing inside Too Many Episodes of sadness & I wish now that I had died Will you smother me said the girl screaming in pain... Mental break down & traumatic agony & nothing left to gain One more pill, another perpetual trip & the light is at it's end Too Many Episodes, so why believe anymore when it is all pretend
5.
This Pathetic Heart Never ending blisters on my feet from the long walks I took Four years of writing poems to the empty air & a vacant look And in my absolute ignorance of salvation from one touch This Pathetic Heart used because I was guilty for loving too much Scatter my ashes over the ocean where I once use to call your name Given in to the twisted reality of promises & a unicorns game I was free to believe with all my soul that I returned for a love so true This Pathetic Heart called selfish & now the mirror looks back at you
6.
My Secret Forever We have all lied for reasons we think are fine & okay There are no white lies, only cruel games people play Stepping back from yourself only to discover your crime But remember this, My Secret Forever is kept inside me for all of time In this hell we have created by our guilt or passions we felt we needed to hide And in your dead silence you realize the painful truth that you too lied... And was is hard to forgive you for craving something you never received Never felt cared for, loved or needed, so who was is that was deceived? I opened up the sacred part of my soul that no one was given access to My Secret Forever, but I think we both know my heart was always meant for you
