Lying to survive In this foolish game Searching for the difference In hearts which look the same Looking for hidden meanings That lurk just beyond your tongue Embraced in love and lust and lies Seems the game has just begun And time is not an issue When you're trying to survive You played me for a fool Just to stay alive And if were only human And as fickle as they come Why no bullets in your back? When you're always on the run

When open doors wont let you through, And everything is lost, Slowly we are dying, Like flowers in a frost, But still the sun shines Through hazy clouds of grey, Looks like heaven to me. Would you throw this all away?

Too many words And not enough action Less is more Fight the attraction Begin at the end So we will feel Less than a fraction Of when our hearts, Break And Heal.

These tile patterns remind me Of old inflicted wounds Too many: "Goodbyes" And not enough: "See you soons" So many lovers and only one bed Countless memories of justice been said Sweet little notions which turn into rust Lost brittle love letters turning to dust Goodbyes are short and sweet For my legs might turn to stone If you let me stand and stare To watch myself alone.

Pedestals of lover's fools, In a time that's gone and past, Don't look at me as history, Compare and see the contrast, Looking under floorboards, For dusty pictures gone, I know that she was right, And I'm your miss's wrong, Bear my teeth and fantasise, I'll watch your eyes that stray, And in my head romanticise, That colours turn from grey, Hiding from expectation, In case I fail your love, Resisting all temptation, I'll wear the other glove, So see it from the other side, And see her everywhere, I'll be the replacement, Craving for your air, And I'm sorry that I can't be, That break within your heart, I'll always just

Words and kisses that we shared Thoughts and feelings never dared, A lost romantic deep in heart False pretensions from the start, Haunting memories last all night Struggling home, I lose the fight, Hate is such an easy word Freedom is a wingless bird, Oh gasping breath with words so true I still see myself with you, Demented soul that couldn't cope You ripped apart my only hope, Bleeding hearts fall unto you Tear drops form just like the dew, Fearful whispers turn to cries Turning corners don't ask whys', I'll see you as a lesson learnt So see me as a heart that's burnt.

Losing words in webs so weak, Another snail trail down your cheek, Caught like flies in seams of lust, Breaking loose without the trust. Fly away from loves sweet dream, Choke upon what love should mean, Caught within a cold embrace, Childlike smile erased from face. Fingertips that feel like ice, Embraced my heart and crushed it twice, It scarred my mind with lines so deep, And killed my dreams, I know not sleep. Now every night and day I pray, The haunting memories fade away, But hazy thoughts that once had fled, Drift about your sleepy head. Today, tomorrow, the rest will pass, This nothingness will cease to last, Not a t

A thousand lifeless faces, Staring back at me. Trapped within the shards That let the blood flow free, A touch as cold as ice Calms and soothes my soul, Desperate hands they grasp A feeling to be whole, So cold against my cheek you crawl beneath my flesh, A kiss so soft and gentle With foul decaying breath, Always footsteps haunt my path You reflect my every move, Traced deep within this skin, Filling every groove. You suffocate, you overwhelm, And still I can't break free, Letting loose the shards of glass, The jigsaw that is me.

Caressing breeze, the flowers stir Lost in past and who you were Warming breeze in lifeless air City lost beyond a care Fading lights and fading stars Ever present man-made scars Hopeless hearts and stupid fools Kept in order with their rules Flying high the birds sing free They clip your wings to make you me Bound and kept within this stage Desolate thoughts they never age

One barrel of love That calls out your name Dress-up is fake But this is no game Lone lipstick mark As I kiss you goodbye You think I am false But guns never lie Bullets imprisoned In a cold lonely heart An action of love That leaves no mark Fingers adoring Trace marks on your skin Smiles on the outside That don't reach within One barrel of love That's empty and spent Dress-up is fake But still you're content To put on your face Carry on with the game But since your heart died It hasn't been the same And I'm the one to blame ...I'm the one to blame
