Mission Statement

Now that I have the floor
Can I have everyone's attention?
There's a few things you all should know
About my intentions.
I didn't come for fortune
Or to play the foolish game.
I didn't come for notoriety
Because, what's in a name?
I came out of curiosity
I came out of rage
I came on behalf of all the rats
Trapped inside their maze.
I came to watch you suffer
I came to watch you bleed
I came to laugh, and taunt you
In your greatest hour of need
So when you see me smile
At your misfortune and dread
Remember - you might have killed me
But it's YOU who ends up DEAD.

Years away
You swore you'd make
These songs to start a fire
Now you wait
Your gift gone to waste
Discouraged, old, and tired
CHORUS:
Why can't you see
The promise you've shown to me
You could do so much more
If you prove to be
This man in honesty
Your strings will sing no more
All I see
This great travesty
A life that nears its winter
Still, in sleep
Your roots laid so deep
When will they start to wither?

Hopeless Mercenaries

Surely there must be some honor
Amongst the thieves
Well we can't all be mercenaries
At least that's what I'd like to believe
In a desperate world I struggle
To make my way through the crowd
At a time when I need to be heard more than ever
Everything else is just too LOUD
As we wander through the corridors
Searching for the truth
We wind up in the dungeon
Of disaffected youth
We're searching for a reason
But the order proves too tall
In a world where we have all of the answers
It turns out we know nothing at all
Would you sell your soul
For a piece of gold?
Will you break my heart
After yours turns cold?
Will you plunge the dagger
Deep into my soul?
Like a modern day MacBeth
Would reprise his role
When I beg for truth
Will you tell a lie?
And then flash that evil grin
Right before I die
Will you paint a picture
With my blood and rust?
And leave me a victim
Of MURDER UNDER TRUST.

Dreamsong

Don't linger on the graves of things you'll never know
'Cause the end result is the same
A rose is just a rose by any other name
And its thorns cause the same old pain
You know it's all for show, one cannot stop the rain
When the clouds decide to open up
The sadness is your own, there's nothing left to feign
If you try to walk away
You know that after all, there's only you to blame
For caring far too much
You could have seen the fall, the point to which it came
And you could have changed your ways
The tragedy is done, there's not a word to say
And the air has turned so cold
The war is never won, and hope will not bring change
So just move on past your grave...
