A State Of Confusion

Lost
A state of confusion
Follow me
Into my world of hate
Pain
All I seem to feel now
Hide beneath
The false life you live
Find me now
Buried next to you
All so fake
Everyone is false

You cannot be like me
You are so dead to everyone
You cannot make believe
You're not even real
You're not even real to me

Eyes of truth
Gaze upon your soul
It shows me
You're empty inside
Lose my faith
Now I don't believe
In anything
It's lost forever

The Ballad For The Virtuous

As far as you may fall
I will always be here beside you
Your imperfections mean nothing
Next to everything that I adore

You can’t simply imagine
Every thought that runs through my head
Your face, your scent
Your taste that lingers on my lips

I could get lost inside your eyes
And I could live there for all eternity
This will be my utopia
My safe place to always hide away

Let me look into the height of perfection
Love’s beauty radiates from your eyes
You are a beautiful drug
The most amazing addiction

To deprave my thoughts of you
Would be a blasphemy
How could I ever forget
Your virtuous smile?

And I will fall at the sound of your voice
A choir so beautiful, every note makes me weep

Cold Hands And A Heart Of Dust

Watching time and the same blank walls
Waiting for you to call out my name
Meanwhile, realizing that hope is the first step
Down the road of disappointment

I keep waiting, I'm always wishing
But time is what is gonna tear us apart

Will you at least pull the knife from my back?
It's not that it really hurts, but it is discomforting

Was this romance really so charming?
Cause right now I could scream myself mute
I would ask if you would hold me close
But there are no hands as cold as yours

My feeble heart has turned to dust
And you failed to hold your breath
Cause now it drifts within the wind
And I'm too weak to loathe you now

Your heart can't break
If you don't let the world touch it
I only loved you because
I wanted you to be the one to ruin my life

A Harlequin In The Tale Of Romance

She looked like a dream
But spoke life a nightmare
I severed her just like I should have from the start
And when this is it
All that remains will overwhelm
You will bleed the pain you never thought you'd feel

Another misled story
Of unfaithful lovers
You could've made this work only if you tried
I've dreampt of you like the sweetest
Nightmare you've become to me
I used to adore you
But time can change things dramatically

This story, a tale of horror
A drama to the untrained heart
For those who know will soon survive
But lack of knowledge will terrify
History will repeat
This vicious cycle
All that's left is you alone
But punishment isn't loneliness
It was falling in love

A Novel Of Words Ignored

These words ignored time and time again
Invisible words to those who are supposed to care
I unfold my thoughts without that much point
A series of phrases, no one understands

A novel of everything that’s inside of me
Hollow dedications are all they have become
Subtle clues to weaknesses growing within
An overdose of doubt taking over me

A release is the only way to mend
An escape of emotions
A simple message to send
Evicting thoughts hoping to forgive
For all I may have lost
For all I had to live

Love, desire
Forever breaking me down
A loss of innocents is key
To the buried tragedy
Pain, suffering
It’s only human to bleed
To share your agony
We’ll wake the pain for all to see

The Requiem For Those Barely Breathing

{Tony}
I look upon your virtue
And realize it’s just a veil
To disguise all that I loath
And confuse my somber mind
I break this sacrament
Create depravity
Lament is all I know
While I sing this threnody

{Tony}
This atrocity created by you
Deceitful intention

{Josh}
Your eyes are detestable
I cant look into them
Another time
Without feeling corrupted

{Tony}
This was a fallacy
Internal revolution
That seems so dramatic
Like it was all planned out
Intentional suffering
Drain me of my life
Don’t sing my requiem
Cause I’m still breathing

{Tony}
These grim thoughts of you
Is my inferno
And as I burn for your love
You will burn with me {Both}

{Josh}
These grim thoughts of you
Is my inferno
And as I burn for your love
You will burn with me {Both}

This was a fallacy {Josh}
Internal revolution {Both}
That seems so dramatic {Josh}
Like it was all planned out {Both}
Intentional suffering {Josh}
Drain me of my life {Both}
Don’t sing my requiem {Josh}
Cause I’m still breathing {Both}

{Tony}
I look upon your virtue
And realize it’s just a veil
To disguise all that I loath
And confuse my somber mind
I break this sacrament
Create depravity
Lament is all I know
While I sing this threnody

Pyre Of Mistakes

{Josh}
I hold everything that’s beautiful
Inside my arms tonight
Everything I could ever love
Will die with me inside (Inside {Tony})
And it seems as though my
Fairy tale will come to an end
Cause everything about you
Has only been a dream
A Dream

{Tony}
And what a wonderful dream it was
Until you took it all away
It was nothing but a farce
A mockery of senses
It will only incinerate
Incinerate your pyre

{Tony}
This pyre that that you created
Of all your past mistakes
Burn the bodies of all your memories
Include in this act
Everything we have shared
Like it never existed
You’ve built my sweet relief
You’ve built my broken soul
You’ve built all my hope
Now you’ve built my gallows

I want to see you {Both}
asphyxiate {Tony}
Destroy everything {Both}
that we once had {Tony}

Addressed Inside

{Tony}
Your enemy like hate is inside me
Anyone would love to see you burn
Your whole god damn life is a pipe dream
The severed head in the sky
When you have left me lifeless
The time is worth the kill
Repercussion of the lives you ruined
Return of the breath you stole
Temptation speaks and won at last
Every twisted thought was key
One cut for memories unborn
Christened of the blood that I bleed
Sickness has overwhelmed
I’ve made the change
The demons inside me
Are screaming my name

A Lullaby For Revenge

{Josh}
You never looked so good
As you look right now
The look in your eyes (The look in your eyes {Travis and Tony})
All the beauty in the world

{Tony}
With my hands around your throat
This is when you’re most beautiful
Because you look so lifeless
I’ve taken your breath away
This is what I’ve always wanted
And this is my dream come true
This is life at it’s greatest moment
It’s greatest moment is only the end

{Josh}
I’ve smothered all of your problems
I’ve taken all your pain away
I have become your savoir
And brought you the end

{Both}
Close your eyes my darling
I’m only here to help you
It’s only your body that dies
Your mind and soul will be set free

Tell me my love {Both}
Can a heart still break {Tony}
Even after {Both}
It has stopped beating? {Tony}

{Josh}
You never looked so good
As you look right now
{Tony}
The look in your eyes (The look in your eyes {Josh})
All the beauty in the world

{Tony}
With my hands around your throat
This is when you’re most beautiful
Because you look so lifeless
I’ve taken your breath away
{Both}
This is what I’ve always wanted
And this is my dream come true
This is life at it’s greatest moment
It’s greatest moment is only the end

Fair Weathered Friend

{Tony}
After this I hope you realize it’s over
No more late nights, it’s over

A smile gets you no where
Your eyes wont lie to me again
Bury the hatchet in your chest
Wash my hands of your loveless-ness

Breathe your last
Nothing stop your air
Your heart still beats
But you’re dead to me

These times, they wont get too hard
(But they could take time {Travis} )
All those fights, you know it was my fault
And I would like to say I’m sorry
But it’s just that I’m a liar to protect your heart

Take some time to realize
The situation you’re in
The lies, deception
It’s not like I hate you now
What we share is more darker than that

A smile gets you no where
Your eyes wont lie to me again

A Shade Of Red

{Tony}
I’ve built you a bridge
That will lead you
Straight to all I find
To be sacred
My heart, my soul
Everything that is me
But as you walked away
You left these bridges burning

{Tony}
I thought you were my friend
I thought you’d be by my side
Waiting for the end
You’d think that I’d be sad now
My heart was empty so, so long ago

I will paint us both a shade of red {Josh}
In this world of black and white {Tony}
So we can stand out above the rest {Josh}
Then everyone could see every ounce of misery {Tony}

{Tony}
I’ve built you a bridge
To my heart and soul
But as you walked away
You set my heart ablaze

I will paint us both a shade of red {Josh}
In this world of black and white {Tony}
So we can stand out above the rest {Josh}
Then everyone could see every ounce of misery {Tony}

Burn my soul {Josh}
Burn my soul {Tony}
Burn my soul {Travis}
Take away {Josh}
Take away {Tony}
Take away {Travis}
Everything {Josh}
Everything {Tony}
Everything {Travis}
Inside me {Josh}
Inside me {Tony}
Inside me {Travis}

I will paint us both a shade of red {Josh}
In this world of black and white {Tony}
So we can stand out above the rest {Josh}
Then everyone could see every ounce of misery {Tony}

{Both}
I will paint us both a shade of red
So we can stand out above the rest
I will paint us both a shade of red
So we can stand out above the rest
