masquerade

Verse 1
Have you ever seen me?
Have you ever known,
That my soul is made of stone,
And my thoughts are just dying to break free?

And what about my dreams?
What about the things I want,
In dreams that haunt,
My every night, it seems?

-Chorus-
we wear a mask for so long
it consumes us
we wear a mask for so long
it becomes us
we wear a mask
false is true,
we wear a mask
on us it grew,
And who we are is left unasked.

Verse 2
Lies are a world we build
Beneath us, on belief.
Strengthened by grief.
Based on our innocence killed.

And how did these false grounds,
Come together to be real,
‘Til there’s nothing left to reveal?
So the person you were is no longer around.

-Chorus-

Bridge
We all wear these masks for so long,
We don’t realise when the real us has gone,
And been replaced by something wrong.

-Chorus-

Have you ever seen me?
Have you ever known,
That my soul is made of stone,
And my thoughts are just dying to break free?

tragedy

You left me there,
Entirely unaware,
That I was the one
Holding the gun.

If I had found
That you were around,
I’d stop the trigger
Before the problem got bigger.

I thought I was tough,
But it wasn’t enough.
And I felt so free
As bullets consumed me.

I could’ve been saved
From the destruction I craved,
Had I known
I was not alone.

isolation

I've found a place you cannot see,
A place that's somehow meant for me.
I'm happy that I stand here now,
But I'm getting lonely.

When I look for you down there, I
Realize none of this is fair.
Why is it I'm raised up so high,
And not allowed to share?

redemption for my pains

I'm waking up to find you gone,
Absent in all but my memories,
Alone with none but my enemies.
Nothing but photographs to look upon.

And sitting here, so solitary,
I wish I wasn't so alone.
I want to prove how much I've grown,
But mistakes have made me wary.

No blame to cast on others,
Nor can I weep for my loss.
For I am Jesus upon my cross,
A martyr with self destructive spurs.

My problems are my only friends,
For they are what they should be.
The only x-ray of my personality,
That stick to the bitter end.

introductions and technicalities

So basically, I created this blog at 1:12 am in the morning one Thursday night (or Friday morning, whichever you prefer) to post poems, thoughts, stories, or anything else mildly artistic that I wish to share with the world as I know it. I'll try to write in it at least once a day, but no promises.

Hope you enjoy.

P.S. My keyboard is awesome. I just spent an hour popping of all the keys and replacing them in different parts of the keyboard. The arrangement is as follows.

0 6 3 5 8 2 9 1 7 4

I am pretty much too cool. Don't worry. You need not say it, I already know.
