Walking to Your Gallows

You pass me by, you see me stare
Your eyes see a hate that isn't there.
You're walking to your gallows
Alone
Afraid
You're walking to your gallows
A man
Unmade

All around you, this world is dust
Just empty words, lies and mistrust
You've tried once but it's all in vain
All you want is to end the pain

You move by without a glance
Nothing here is left to chance.
You're walking to your gallows
Tired
Worn
You're walking to your gallows
A man
Unborn

Each day is darker than the last
Your futures slipping into the past
Your heart can't take much more of this
You're clinging to what's left of bliss

You go by without lifting your head
You go to end your life instead.
You're walking to your gallows
Wounded
One
You're walking to your gallows
A man
Undone

Oh, Jared, don't you see?
You're walking to your gallows
You're leaving me.

I Fell In Love the Last Time it Rained

I fell in love the last time it rained

Mysteries of life at last explained

All illusions of a girl

As truth's lies unfurl

I find myself lost in a dark, deep sea

Looking toward what is meant to be



Tangled in this game of pretend

Deceit and sincerity never end

Only dreams to be told

Deep in the nights cold

Ghosts of all the could've beens'

Where lies end and truth begins



I fell in love the last time it rained

Mysteries of life at last explained

All illusions of a girl

As truth's lies unfurl

You shielded me from all the pains

And I still see you when it rains

Cutting the Thread

It's been many years now, locked in this prison of a home

A hell with bay windows and patio doors

I've watch as the wishes of those I love whither at your feet.

I've seen my desires sacrificed for your own petty needs

You destroyed my life, my dreams and hopes of someday

Breaking free and moving into the light beyond your shadow

You made the mistake of loosening my leash

And once I've tasted the light there's no living without

I may be just a broken down spirit, cold and dark inside like you

But I can still cut you and I've got the salt to make it sting

You hang your lies over my head by the tiniest thread

What will you do when your lies come crashing down?

All around you; a life's work of pain and deceit, shattered glass at your feet

What would you do if they found out who you were inside?

Just a selfish brat, caring about nothing unless it's yourself

When you look in the mirror do you see what I do?

A monster behind a mask, choking on smoke

I block my ears to your words, they burn anyway

I'll leave you with your misery that you've created

So carefully around yourself, trapping you inside

I'm going from the darkness to bathe in the warmth of the sun.

I Don't Believe in Love

I don't believe in love,

It's fairy tale that never comes true.

I don't believe in love,

Because love never follows through.



Please tell me why

I should believe a lie

I don't believe in love.

Love is just an illusion

Confusion and delusion

I don't believe in love



I don't believe in love,

It's a story to help you sleep at night.

I don't believe in love

It's both a legend and a painful plight



Please tell me why

I should believe a lie

I don't believe in love.

Love is just an illusion

Confusion and delusion

I don't believe in love



I don't believe in love

In the end it always makes you cry

I don't believe in love

When he leaves me with Good-bye

Sadistic Devotion

Sweet dreams, Good night

Whisper softly, "Put out the light"

Warm lips, Love erased

Fade away, Warmth's replaced

Cold ice, Visions gone

And its hours until the dawn

Red roses, Candle stick

Melt away, Burnt out the wick

Salty tears, Broken glass

The love we had is lost, Collapse

Pained screams, Star watch

Fall away, Drunk half the scotch

Bruised cheek, Kisses sweet

Lost words when fist and face meet

Sadistic devotion, Amorous hate

Waste away, but it's too late.

No Longer, No More

Gentle kisses reach my lips no longer

Tender touches feel my skin no more

My heart is aching for you to be with me

I cannot hide this feeling anymore

It hurts me thinking of my life without you

My world is falling, crashing to the ground

Thunder rolls as I wait for you in vain

It's clear to me now you're no longer mine

Sweet whispers find my ear no longer

Silent love enters my heart no more

How... can this be?

I loved you... and you loved me

I lie in bed each night calling out your name

I wake every morning reaching for you

I live each day wishing you were here

I want... gentle kisses, tender touches,

sweet whispers and silent "I love you's"

Gypsies By Twilight

In daylight we are children holding our mothers' hands
In nighttime we are Bohiemiens traveling in our gypsy band
The day can get so boring, of school we often tire
While waiting for the night to come so we can dance beside the fire
With rings on our fingers and bells on our toes
We sing to the moon where ever she goes
The violin plays quickly by the fire's light
The wise owl takes in the sight
Of our scarves waving through the air
As we stick flowers in our hair
By day we sit patiently waiting for the night
And when the sun begins to fade we're gypsies by twilight.
