I Cringe
Cringe...
I do.
At the sound of an alibi.
And the ease by which,
They spill from lips...
Makes me want to run and hide.
Cringe...
From the sight of something overdone.
To impress someone.
And doing this as if,
Some status will be won.
Oh I cringe when people attend church and sin.
To do it over and over and over again.
Like a child denied something seen to quiet cries.
Even inside the most sacred of places,
People will be devious and tell some of the whitest lies.
Maybe it is from my own experiences.
Or places I've been.
That stresses my level of tolerance,
I find irritated now and then!
And 'age' does play a factor,
In one's mindset that becomes fixed...
To a stubbornness.
But of late I find that I cringe...
When it is obvious to me,
A deception is about to begin.

Bum! Bum! Bum!
Sound of war
it's like the roaring of a lion
I the jungle.
Sound of war
It's like flash of the lightening
Sound of war
It make people lose their strength
Sound of war
It make people to run to and fro
Sound of war
Um...
Sound of war
make people hopeless
when there is hope
Sound of war is cruel
Because it make people shudder
It make people suffer, shudder shiver, cringe
And due before they die
Sound of war
Oops!
Ouch!

Final Warning
Here for first time cutters is a warning for me to you
Cutting is not the answer for the pain you're going through
It may seem at the time that your options are small
Cutting only makes it worse and I will tell it all
You may start out with small ones that barely sting or bleed
But trust me the more you do it, the more that you will need
You'll need the blood, you'll crave it, you won't be able to run
It will ruin your life, consume your soul, it won't be very fun
And it will change everything about you even the wat you act and dress
And you won't be able to stop it as your life becomes a mess
And everything inside you will scream to hide the cuts
No more tee-shirts no more swimsuits, no ifs and or buts
And you will cringe when people lay their hands upon your skin
As your very essense within fears they'll find your sin
And you'll say you'll never cut deep because you never had
But wait untill things get tough, I mean really really bad
You'll lay that blade against your skin and push with all your might
And as you watch your blood flow out you'll begin to shake with fright
And you'll curse and scream but it won't help, you've sealed your fate
Because by the time help arrives, it is already too late
Your body lies there cold and still in your bloodied bed
And there is nothing you can do about it cause you're already dead
So here for first time cutters is a warning frome me to you
Cutting is not the answer for the pain you're going through
Find a reason to go on, to live and take another breath
Because a painful as your life is, it's nothing compared to death

Pseudo air
I cringe seeing braggarts
Investing themselves with
Importance by calling
Big people around in a party
By their first name which is
Nothing but boosting
Their air which is not there.

When An Unquestioned Exit Is Best
There is a purpose for evil people.
And a reason why some cringe around them.
A test of faith intuitively awakens.
And an ease of peace like radar released,
Protects those blessed,
Quick to identify...
The ones unconsciously evil.
And knowing from them...
When an unquestioned exit is best.

Hypocrite
Don't cringe or whine
You little swine!
You're scared of the Truth
With all the cowardice of modern Youth,
But when you're old
You won't be bold,
You'll always live a total Lie,
You'll always have an alibi,
So go to Hell!
The world can't bear your sickly smell!
You're drowning in your Wishing Well
And I hear the tolling of the bell.

A Case Of Double Values
The love that dare not speak its name
Will cringe in nervousness and shame
While hypocrites pour scorn and blame
On the love that dare not speak its name.
'Good' people always will deride
The sinful thoughts which they've denied
Till criminals have wept and cried
In the face of so much Spiritual Pride.

I honestly have no interest in celebrity whatsoever. If anything, I always cringe at it because it takes away from what I am, which is an actor who wants to be better and do better things.
I suppose I sometimes used to act like I wasn't a human being... Sometimes I look back at myself and remember things I used to say, or my hairstyle, and I cringe.

A Soldier
He is that fallen lance that lies as hurled,
That lies unlifted now, come dew, come rust,
But still lies pointed as it plowed the dust.
If we who sight along it round the world,
See nothing worthy to have been its mark,
It is because like men we look too near,
Forgetting that as fitted to the sphere,
Our missiles always make too short an arc.
They fall, they rip the grass, they intersect
The curve of earth, and striking, break their own;
They make us cringe for metal-point on stone.
But this we know, the obstacle that checked
And tripped the body, shot the spirit on
Further than target ever showed or shone.

Marilyn Manson Ate My Girlfriend
Walk through the streets of PA and you may see her.
Go up to her and say you're a believer.
Disgusting trash on MTV, it makes her smile.
That guy from Satan's embassy put him on trial.
Because... Marilyn Manson
Ate my girlfriend.
Satan consumed her mind,
And he may do it again.
Marilyn Manson
Ate my girlfriend.
She once believed in the truth,
Now she believes in sin.
She denies God when she has the chance to live for Him.
The thought of it makes me cringe. Her future looks dim.
She'd rather gaze in Satan's eyes than on a steeple.
I'm really starting to despise beautiful people.

Tar Poo
It seems to you
See yourself inside a lie
Break down and save yourself to no prevail
Tell me
Show the way
Maybe you'd rather dance with self-esteem
Cringe as you find your mental gangrene
Tell me
Show the way
Today you seem quite insane
But tomorrow
The man I am will be gone
'Cause you're all too blind
To see that something's wrong
Don't fight this
I know you're a little scared
Speak freely
Until I drag the truth from you
Trust me
I'm the way
I need to jump right in and f**k around
Access to places that you dream about
Trust me
I'm the way
Today you seem quite insane
But tomorrow
The fine line drawn will be gone
And you're all too blind
To see that something's wrong
The facade so tried and true is stripped away
And the man you tried to save is led astray
Save me
I'm so scared and I can't find my way
And I need someone to save me
Help me
Time will tell 'cause time has told on me
And I need someone to help
'Cause the road is long
And the hold is strong
I can see you in my mind
See what a work of art my patient is
No big deal
The mind inside is mine not his
Fear me
Stay away
You'll never come around this place again
You've seen me
I'll put your snooping to an end
Fear me
Stay away
Today you seem fine and sane
And tomorrow
The world you know will be gone
And you're all too blind
To see that you've gone wrong
You've gone wrong
