Screams of Demons
There was something in the water. I swear I can't be making this up. Okay, was that too rash of me to say or not, because, if so, then this conversation is done and over with.
Anyway, I write to you all, not from my home in Las Vegas, Nevada, but from Heavenly Hollows, Oregon, a utopian society without any violence. At the time, I thought it would be fun, but, like all things manmade, it deceived me and my "friends". Allow me to tell you this tale, a tale of a place called Ylohnu, California.

Trapped in a Rut

Cursed be the day I was born
let people look back on it and scorn
The man who saith, "It's a boy"!
let my mother look back in shame
Why do I spit these things at you? It's all due to my ubquitous pessismism. -
Lucifer
I am so tired, oh so tired, I
wanna go home, now,
I don't wanna be in this place
I am so tired, oh so tired, I
wanna go home, now,
I don't wanna be in this place
Heartbroken, unheard of,
breaking everything I touch
Heartbroken, unheard of, killing
everyone I love
Cast down from, the Heavens, I,
look to earthly pleasure to sate my joy, but
nothing can fill this hole in my heart...

Drunk and Confused
Jesus, oh, I'm drunk on this train ride to hell. Meet me so I may be clean, or may I meet you lest I damage your kingdom? Forgive me, father, for you know I have been sinning. I take what I want and bring it in my grey world of imagination.
Lord, forgive my mistakes. Forgive me of my confusion that I may be healed. This is not me and what I want is not relevant.
Now, to you only, Lord, a poem of remorse:
How did this happen to me
How could I had not been set free
Take me, O God, to higher places,
or at least a place better than this.

Dream On
There've been a time where I used to love
There've been a time where I was on the ark and the dove
With the branch we call hope, O so little
But dare not belittle me and our hopes as we dream on
I used to wave the white flag at love's tranquil sound
Locked up in my room as the earth spun round and round
Meet me, Jesus, meet me in the middle of the morgue
Take my hand and life ye hopeless from this scourge
Sing with me, just as it goes, let us go to heaven in a handbasket
Sing with me, ye hopeless, let us go to that place and dream on
O come thou those who call themselves depressed
O come thou those who call themselves suppressed under this world'srule!
Living life to its fullest isn't enough to get me by
Living bisexually never satisfied my soul, I do not know why
Call me a sinner, call me a saint, wash my sins away likewet paint on a canvas -
Trembling Hands
My solumn heart keeps dragging me back
to depths unknown and back again
To hell and back and back to hell we go
on this emotional ride we call life
Agorphobia got distressed in this mess
that we can call our one and only home
You know you're high on life when death
never seemed so comfortable
My, what a good day, for, a walk outside
My shadow side never seen the light of day,
nor has it seen the hell I've had to see
My, what a good day, for a, rainy day
Dreary as I may seem, I'm rather upbeat

Don't Go To Sleep
There’s a lot that goes through my mind
Why do I play it on rewind
I obsess over the littlest of things
Whatever the night might bring
It’s ten-o-clock when I look at you
I realize that you’re my one and only
Will you stay or leave like them, too?
Stay awake with me and don’t go to sleep
Woest me for your antagonization
Forgive me, dear, for this disorganization
I lie at night wondering when you’ll love me less
Maybe tomorrow or the next day would be my guess
I just shot an angel, the shots ring through the night
It nearly got away, but twas in my line of sight
Say what you will, but I have no remorse
As I ride away, my horse, carry me
