Memories Kill

I just wanted you to hear me say
That that fake smile you wore today,
Made me think back to a life;
Of tired lies and empty strife.

That fake smile doesn't last, love,
And all that help 'from above',
It doesn't make a difference if you believe or not,
Because you're the only one that can fix this lot.

And in the end I won't die from age, from cancer or from people's rage.
I know, honey, what it will be;
The memories will end up killing me.

Because I still wear this fake smile,
Fooling everyone for miles and miles,
And I'll carry on until fate sees,
When the memories set in and then kill me

EVERYONE can show their support with 'The Butterfly Project'. All you need is a pen :)

The Mess In Me

Cry myself to sleep, Watch my eyes colors bleed. A shot in the dark. Spark & shock, restarting my heart. Down a slippery path of arrogance. Whispers of a different muse.

Pain

If only the pain would go. So that I could feel normal. People passing by don't seem to notice. If only the pain would go. Returning me back to the way I was. I don't want to feel like this anymore.

Face Of No One

I'm grasping for air but there is none. Once again This fucking emptiness has won. The battle of worthlessness. Simple. I'm nothing, I confess. Shadows I embrace. It's still clear.

Happy?

I've read around and I hear you say, That today is Opuss's happiness day. I fished around, and found my smile, I don't wear it very often, it ain't my style.
