BARBED WIRE ANGEL

(The /"¦/ means backup vocals)

METAL-
/Don't Stop, don't stop, don't stop,/
This moment doesn't have to end,
/Don't stop, don't stop, don't stop,/
We can try it all over again,
But I know you"ll still have to pretend,
These lies, shatterred glass as I look at my feet
Hurt, I"m cut, I"m slipping away to"¦ (Long, deep bass note)

CHORUS-
Separate my skin from bone,
Rend my muscle from my organs,
See the soul that is inside,
Stare into it, see yourself as"¦
SILENT SHALLOW LIES,
Through"¦
WICKED BLOODSHOT EYES,
As"¦
I NOW KNOW WHY FOOLS CRY!"¦

MELODIC-
No reason to start again,
I know you"ll still be the same man,
I used to think you"d never hurt me,
Now I know, now I know"¦
Heaven was curled up in your arms, feeling oh, so, peaceful,
Deep down as I go"¦
Crying into this wasteland, of rotten ventricles,
The tumors continue to grow,
And I still know it will start again
Let me forget you,
Not to cry while your away

(Instrumental-80's style guitar)

/Will these thoughts of you recede,
Into nothingness,
While on your clogged arteries,
None prevail,
In this battle for my first sphere,
While the other eight are bastions of this inner truth,
Unreachable, through your spiderweb of/
LIES!

CHORUS

The boiling point of brain is much higher than that of heart,
The heart is glass, the mind is steel,
The mind is leather, the heart is silk,
Your touch is poisonous, Your existence"¦
THERE!

Separate my skin from bone,
Rend my muscle from my organs,
See the soul that is inside,
Stare into it, see yourself as"¦
SILENT SHALLOW LIES,
Through"¦
WICKED BLOODSHOT EYES,
As"¦
I NOW KNOW WHY FOOLS CRY!"¦
SHADOWS

Everything looks so much higher when I"ve fallen down,
Everything seems so much farther when I"m on the ground,
Now I"ve been knocked down,
Now I see a hand to lift me off the ground,
I can see an arena from far down,
All life is an arena on the bottom,
When you remove the paint,
When you tear down the walls,
Reality is exposed as a fraud,
"Reality cannot be this hellhole," you say,
Well let me tell you,
Let me tell you,
Let me tell you,
Let me tell you"¦
Everything looks so much higher when I"ve fallen down,
Everything seems so much farther when I"m on the ground,
See I"ve been knocked down,
See there's a hand to lift me off the ground,
Now that hand belongs to me,
I am all alone with my shadow,
But I am just a reflection of someone else,
I am no one but the bits and pieces,
Of the others who cant see me,
But I can see them just fine,
Just fine,
Just fine,
But they can't see me,
Well know this:
Everything looks so much higher when I"ve fallen down,
Everything seems so much farther when I"m on the ground,
Yeah I"ve been knocked down,
But there's no hand to lift me off the ground,
If the others could see me,
They would just ignore me,
For they are one and the same,
Now just remove the mirror,
And you"ll see a whole new person,
This person is I,
Yet I am just a shadow,
Of another shadow,
In the end,
In the arena,
We are all just shadows,
But as we look around,
There are real people,
They are we,
We are they,
We are their reflections,
And they are ours.

ERRANT OF THIS

Wasted, as I told you
My lie was caught, judged to be true
And you
You wouldn't allow it
And you
You follow us in the air
Why should this be simple
Why if eternally I was barren

(For then as we fell through the air we could not find what we had waited for If we, the seekers, do not know our goal, does our goal know us? Or is both and all running blindly, through a maze with an end that no one knows. Most are not eager to find the end to the maze, but I believe that at the end I will find the answers to my questions. But if only I could reach the end before the questions consume me. If this world doesn't entrap then what can be done to prove it?)
Nothing!
For lies we are
Ever and to
All time
Alone
Alone
Alone!

Sensations of tyrannic eagles
Ruling the sky
They blast us, the little pigeons aside
As they tell theirselves
"Everything will be alright"
If you try to see
That we are not alone
Not alone"¦
Alone
Alone
Alone!

(The world does entrap, for what else is capable of that kind of destruction, nothing is able to invoke visions of faith as well as our race. And what created our race? You know the answer"¦ Or do you? I know you, for I have known everything that I have known at one point or another. For this world is my world, I am the answer to everything, I am the solution to everything. Ask of war to find my emptiness, ask of peace to find my hollowness, ask of love to find my transparency, ask of hate to find my falsity)

Why?
Did everything, every statue crumble
As my gaze fell upon them
It seemed flat, evil eyes looked back at me
Yet there is still no life in those painted faces
And to accept that, why, then, do we have to spit on them?
I cannot accept this method of acceptance
I cannot accept that forever we are"¦
Alone
Alone
Alone!

To see, or not to see
Reach out and touch it, the truth is right before you
What else glitters so profoundly
Nothing is pure for very long here
This place corrupts, these cells LIE
To us
As we
Try to
Accept
That we
Are
Alone
Alone
Alone!

(Read deeper and between the lines to find your answers truth, for a word can have no lies, the meaning corrupts the word, our race places lies upon the purity of marks on paper, yet, looking yet deeper, how would we know if these truths are not in themselves lies?)

ARE WE PAWNS OR ARE WE KINGS?
ARE WE EMPERORS OR FOOLS?
Nothing can be seen as the sky collapses
The sun a formidable concept
That I, human as I am, cannot comprehend
That I, mortal and fragile as I am, cannot challenge"¦

Can you?

Songs Some

Hard to follow with out the music, so I tried to read it in story/poem form. I like the songs and would love to hear them to music. Do you write music as well, or are you mostly a lyricist?
