1.Heroes in a Dying Age
A resurrection from the dead without purpose without meaning
Only to find my source of hope from choruses long forgotten
Heroes in a dying age carry the torch once burning bright
A dedication to those of us who won't give up the fight
I won't watch myself crumble I won't lose the will to live
That pathway leads to nowhere defeated purpose killed
These words have meaning they convinced me to survive
And burn down all the false prophets and leave their lies behind
Can you see these burning eyes gazing at an empty sky
Everyday is like a step closer to the sorrow they provide
Yet I hold on to what's left find the best inside myself
I will conquer hades
Personal reflections of a 23 year old
I face this broken mirror as my drama unfolds
Desolate I vow to start a new
Forgive forget the hatred I once knew
My faith and my devotion against the world...
These words have meaning they convinced me to survive
Send this message to the ones I love
I've wished for too much but not death from above
My days of suffering will end this very night
Witness tired wounded angels- angels taking flight
From endless depression to inspiration
I'll tear apart these gray skies
Happiness appreciation for what I have
I have conquered hades

3.When Everything Turns to Dust
They desecrate everything we stand for gnawing on every corner
they feed
Our last breath is their salvation they'll never see us begging
on our knees
How could they say that we're accountable
For slit wrists and bloodshot eyes
All hail and glorify the manufactured ones
For the marvelous plan that they've devised
You'll burn eternally kiss your kingdom goodbye
We'll rise in victory when everything turns to dust... to dust
Bring me the children for they are truly blessed for they know
what songs to sing
Watch their fists raised high in unison against dictators so
menacing
How could you claim what was never yours
Integrity has no price at all
All hail and glorify the manufactured ones
Behead the traitors in this very hall
You'll burn eternally a penalty you can't deny
The wrath inside of me summoning the stormy skies
Death you deserve ( tonight ) triumphant all of us
We'll remain unscarred when everything turns to dust... to dust
Oh children of the night arise and join us now
This is mutiny towards victory their tyranny won't be allowed
Our dignity is in peril we will heed the trumpet's call
This is fate this is destiny and they are bound to fall
Your time is running out...
The hungry will eat tonight and it won't be just crumbs
The crippled will walk again never to kiss the ground
Since the day you reigned supreme we have waited for this chance
This is us and our rebellion this is our militance.
4.Waiting for Nothing the Ultimate Catalyst of One's Self-destruction
False illusions will be our downfall
Watch the temples crumble where I used to reside
When I was regretful and unwilling and my strengths I used to
hide
If depression means the world to you then your whole world is a
lie
You resent the thought of happiness you've failed yet you never
tried
The agony of defeat constructed from deceit
Seven days they seem like years and each day never ends
You break down from a single blow as you lose your confidence
Glass shards under your feet inconsistent heartbeats
Pulse slowly stops temperature drops the agony sets in
You just wait for nothing
Buried dreams galore, an epitaph carved for your useless
existence
What breathes behind that, a coward like you will never know
Your salvation denied, your heaven is an empty sky
The angels weep and this parade will go on as you lose breath
and die
For everything you've lost nothing's waiting for you
You'll forever dread the sun these flatlines burn
Surrounded by ghosts of your mistakes you feed them with your
fears
Watch your palace crumble and liquefy to tears
The bitter fruits you reap the scar is way too deep
I run and hide from these ghosts that chase me in my dreams
those that
Burn along with temples they ignore and drown out my screams
Take control of what controls you what confuses you will destroy
you
You have been stagnant for too long
Wait wait waiting for nothing
5.Twilight
The center of my universe six thousand miles apart
The journey of the calloused yet ever breathing heart
Day by day I burn in the twilight of her gaze
No entity of fairness could ever be replaced could ever
Be replaced
Our stars collide but the stars don't shine
I imagine her in my arms she is frozen our vow's broken
I'll undo this curse the lines that I rehearse
When silence wraps around
Hands slowly reach out my loneliness and doubt
I plead for your reply
Will you come back to me in the twilight
The moon covers the sun as she slowly walks away
Results in an eclipse in a comatose of the heart
Those days with her seemed endless and her eyes seemed
So sincere I never thought she would suddenly disappear
Her lips were pale yet soft I'm dying in the cold
Your cliche'd lines and withered flowers our story will be told
Without her love my daylight ends
Of whispers and light kisses I shake shiver cry a river
6.Breaking the Barriers of Frustration
Today I will turn 24, it's the 5th of july
The mood is melancholic and I don't know the reason why
And I feel like these walls are closing in
I ask why the lines I've drawn are getting thin
I feel it down below, the pull of gravity
Is it my time to go, challenging my sanity
We could run away confront or cry an endless rain
None could cleanse me of my sins my dirt is to be drained
This will be the last time they'll use and rape my soul
These voices inside they hide now way beyond control
To be mature is to be more aware and my innocence has died
The ones that I have idolized are those who gave me lies
And I cannot see the light of day
And my world of color has turned to gray
My hands are trembling I am desperate all of you I hold so close
There is beauty beneath the carcasses and of ghosts we fear the
most
In question if I'm capable to live through all of this
Or my apathy's gotten the best of me a pathetic state of bliss
I have to move on despite the fact it's only dignity I own
When kindness is mocked degraded love is obsolete unknown
I was uncertain to move forward and regretful to look back
Swimming in a sea of my mistakes it was faith in myself I lacked
No matter how many times I fall and how many wounds I have to
bear
I refuse to believe that life is never fair
7.We The Dying
Below us is hellfire and are we to be burned
Consumed before the dead watching it makes my stomach turn
There is a feeding frenzy the lions smell our blood
This is our punishment and what we deserve
Slowly counting down we fall into the fray
That none of us could escape from
We were left to burn as tables turn we are hungry none to claim
As our leaders become desperate we forget each other's names
Sealing the final nail in our coffin for so long we are
breathing
Yet we, we the dying
Unload me of this burden that my heart cannot bear
Once hopeful and of good faith is eaten by despair
We were fed with lies so many times can't decipher it's all the
same
We dance a waltz of tragedy of vanity and fame
Tongues speak in words a language forgotten scriptures
transcribed
We shall rise
Desperate measures of a thousand failures words intertwined
Fabricated on lies
Mistaken for kindness our death's catalyst each other we kill
Defeating the purpose of life
Carry your crosses to nameless mountains we achieve nothing
A valid reason we die
8.Girls with the Softest Lips Lash Out the Most Violent Words
ybe I'm at fault for feeling this way since the day you came
pretending to be in a dream I've christened in your name
so desperate to be noticed my passion running wild inside
wanting you adoring you skin to skin and side to side
so near you yet I'm invisible so flawless sweet and beautiful
I'm captivated by your charm a misleading smile meant to disarm
Finding a way now to be heard- before you lash out all your
violent words
I'm blinded you're my only concern- a line of heartbreak now's
my turn
If you'd look a little closer maybe you would notice me
It's pointless dreaming of you my heart's burning fourth degree
This is desire flaming red I think of you alone in bed
Day in day out you are inside this heartshaped box I run and
hide
Postmarked to sender returned as your picture slowly burns
I try to pretend that it's alright your voice wakes me up at
night
You're a wish I never had it'll take a lifetime to understand
Why I don't deserve a chance to prove I worship your every move
That line dividing won't be blurred and still you lash out all
your violent words
I'm blinded I'm none of your concern in this game of heartache
I'll never learn
I'll never learn...
9.The Art of Letting Go
Is this goodbye and farewell？ it's a romantic tragedy
All is fair in love and war and I'm the lonely casualty
Your forked tongue has lost it's sharpness
It doesn't have the luster it used to before
Sure it takes a lot of soul to forgive
So let me show you your way out of that door
You are a beautiful walking mistake and from you I have learned
How could someone so true be so fake？ Now you're none of my
concern
Let go- you are nothing I deserve
your acting's all but superb
a romance for the deaf and blind
with such poor taste and design
These calloused hands are shaking and I'm breathing heavily
Soon all of this will be over shadows reaching out to me
Sweet nothings in my ears now they disgust
Those letters you've sent now gather dust
Sure it takes a lot of soul to forgive
I'm dead with you and now I want to live
You are a beautiful walking mistake and from you I have learned
How could someone so true be so fake？ Now you're none of my
concern
Let go- you are nothing I deserve
your acting's all but superb
a romance for the deaf and blind
with such poor taste and design
And now this is the time and I cannot pretend
The day I live again is when our story ends
Dramatic lies and severed ties in bloodstained cradles lay
Despite the loss that bridge I'll cross come calm or storm what
may
We drank the wine the undivine process of suicide
Let it be known apart we've grown I gave you everything I own
And as you make your final exit I let our story slip away
I bury you with the memories of a forgotten yesterday
10.Love and Devotion
So this is the price to pay for being into
You
Face first into the ground not knowing
What hit me
Never have I felt my lungs breathe air
This fresh again
I found you among these zombies
Devoid of emotion
I gave my heart to you now everything
Around me's new
Guess you'll be here in my arms tonight
And my past will be undone
Have we found heaven in the form of our
Flesh and blood
The serpent descends to taunt us
Watching our lips meet
Your eyes signify beauty magnified a
Hundredfold
Bringing me the warmth against a world
So cold
As long as I live I vow to hold on to
All is dust and wind everytime that I'm
With you
You've given me the stars and I could
Feel them in my hands
I used to be so skeptical but now I
Understand
You are a masterpiece you are the
Epitome of art
One wish now to the heavens that well
Never be apart
(The constellations in the sky show your
Faces silhouette
I've seen you in my dreams even before
We met.)
I gave my heart to you now everything
Around me's new
