You take my hand,

As we pass through the darkness,

You say ‘don’t be afraid,’

But it’s hard not to be,

In this shadow,

This place of pain and regret,

You are the only light,

Of my shadow,

Darkness lies within me,

I’m bleeding and crying,

But you wrap your arms around me,

And the shadow goes away,

In the shadow,

I am falling deep within,

My heart is fading,

Falling into the shadow,

My tears fall,

The shadow is all around me.

Did the rain stop the pain?

Or is it still swelling?

Die, everyone disappear,

Forever from my memory,

The wind blows in my hair,

You pierce my soul,

What were you thinking?

Blood runs down your sword,

Smiles turn to dust,

They blow away into the mist,

Death and destruction,

Pain and suffering of my life,

My eyes are red from tears,

All of my dreams and fears,

Are here in my soul,

For you are glaring at me,

With my violin I play this tune,

Of sadness and sorrow,

And watch you die,

And watch you die.

Are we all just a world of desire? Where our hearts only want more and more? Why do we cry? Where do our feelings go when we see the hatred, prejudice, money, scandals? We are all monsters of ourselves, we strive only to create more power, to overcome all obstacles that we are faced with. That is what life is. We take what we can and never give to those who are in need. Why do we see what we see on the streets of our home towns, cities, neighborhoods? Are we beautiful, or are we just hatred? Please tell me the real reason why we are alive. Love is a thing that we all need, we can’t live without it even if we tried. Even if we die, we are still loved, by those who were around us. Tell me why do we live to be loved? Is it for some inner calmness that we want? No, we still see the hate and evil in the world. So why don’t we do something about it? Please tell me the reasons why we are here… why are we here?

Tears fall down,

Your face as I walk

Away,

Don’t tell me to come back,

I’ve left you,

And I’ll always leave,

So just stay there,

And don’t run after me,

Please stay away,

You haunt my dreams,

I can’t be happy,

With you around,

Tired, that’s what I am,

Tired of you,

Of what you’ve done,

Leave! Don’t come back!

I’m walking again,

As you run,

But you never catch up,

Because I’m too far… too far.

Fly away, to your childish dreams,

Everyday goes by,

It’s like an unfinished theme park,

You want to ride but you can’t,

You cry in a room, alone,

But no one hears you,

You realize the truth,

No one loves you,

A phantom comes to take you,

You try to run,

But a glowing butterfly stops you,

And tears fall to the ground,

You see a red balloon,

And you try and grab it,

But butterflies fly everywhere,

And you cry once again.

I cannot seem to quench it,

this thirst inside,

it drains my strength,

but the blood flows again,

I stretch and moan,

as pain hits my neck,

it seers through me,

reaching out ever so slightly,

is this natural?

I cannot keep this quench,

I thirst for more,

always yearning for more,

something strikes me,

it fills my throat,

the pleasure of it,

is intoxicating,

please don’t let this end,

the quench is so wonderful,

I won’t let it,

escape me again.

I feel the tip of a cloud,

I’m learning to fly,

I call your name loud,

But my voice will die,

I can finally fly up to you,

I can lift off my feet,

And soar in the blue,

And land on my feet,

I slowly learn to jump,

But I want to stay here,

I hit a bump,

And you are near,

I can finally fly to you,

Yes, this much is true,

Love is in there air,

I can see you there..

I know what you are,

You smile at me,

And I think,

‘how pretty,’

You turn away from me,

Why do you do that?

I want you to stay,

Please stay, pretty,

I know what you are,

But that doesn’t stop me,

From loving you,

So please don’t go away,

You take your gun,

And say these words,

Of pain, and confusion,

And all the sharp swords.

I hear you cry,

I see you die,

But before you go,

please plea slow,

I want your heart,

I want your soul,

But from the start,

You could not console,

Die, cry, fly, try, sigh…

Sing, sting, string, attached to this,

One last kiss I can’t miss.

I feel a little playful,

I might do something devious,

I might go meet someone,

And have fun,

I might run down your back,

I might play with your hair,

Be in your way,

And this is our game.
