Alone Or Not Alone
I was left in the darkness
Everyone walked around me, taking no notice of me
I cry tears that are not noticed
Blood runs down my arm from the cuts that were made my my knife
I hear someone calling out to me
I look up
I see someone tht stands out of the crowd of strangers
A hand reaches over to me and picks me up
Tears stop and cuts heal
His smile warms my heart
His presents gave me the strength to get myself back on my feet
Strength returns to me and i smile at the sky, grateful to be alive
Im not alone anymore... or maybe i never was

When It Cuts
cannot justify your envy
But I will be understanding when you stay
Then I will satisfy you in every (way)
But I'm not feeling coherent when you say
When it cuts, it cuts, it cuts hard
And I
When it cuts, it cuts, it cuts hard
And I die again
Again
Though I'm right, I don't think I'll win this fight
But I'm trying though it's ripping me inside
Just in case that I'm taking up your space
I'll be feeling too, whatever's left inside
When it cuts, it cuts, it cuts hard
And I
When it cuts, it cuts, it cuts hard
And I die again
I can't go on
I'm not that strong
I'm so alone
You just gotta set me free
I'm still living day, no way
I don't care what you say
Your eyes dispise my lies
Just say goodbye
When it cuts, it cuts, it cuts hard
And I
When it cuts, it cuts, it cuts hard
And I die again
Again, again
Waste your breath

Blood Tears
The cuts I inflict.
The cuts I make.
Dosent hurt.
I'm alive.
I'm free for a while.
Till the blood dont stop.
As I watch the blood flow.
Its like im crying.
I have blood tears.
I cant never cry.
Have to run and hide.
Have to cut aand slash.
Its my only way.
What else can I do.
I'm broken inside.
Each cut makes me feel.
Human and alive.

Heart of Glass
What would it take,
To make you believe?
My life's an open book.
My glass heart on my sleeve.
But it keeps getting broken,
And I keep getting hurt.
Your knife cuts very deep,
And you treat me like dirt.
My heart it has changed.
A new me was born.
He has given me strength,
And sewn what was torn.
My heart made of glass,
Now shattered and broke.
But again He does fix it,
And He gives me His yoke.
Then he carries my burden,
And takes my glass heart.
Gives it back to me mended.
So again I must start.
I'm here with my heart,
To give her once more.
And the heart made of glass,
She smashed on the floor.
And then He returns.
He gathered the shards.
I can't do it again.
The pain is too hard.
But he puts it together.
He makes me return.
I ask, “How many times more? ”
“Til her love you have earned.”
So back I do go,
Humble and meek.
To fight for my love.
My heart is so weak.
Here it is my love.
Please take my glass heart.
It is yours for the breaking.
You can break it apart.
She took it from me,
And held it so tight.
And she gave me a smile,
That shone very bright.
She gave me a kiss.
Then her heart I did get.
I had earned back her love.
I had paid back my debt
My heart made of glass,
Found the heart made of gold.
I am glad that I listened.
And did just what He told.
I am glad that He told me,
To fight for my friend.
Because Love conquers all,
And never will end.

Cuts Both Ways
It cuts both ways
Our love is like knife
That cuts both ways
Its driven deep into my heart each time
That I realize
How it cuts both ways
Cant be together
Cannot live apart
Were heading straight into a broken heart
But I cant stop
(bridge)
cause I feel too much to let you go
Im hurting you and its hard I know
To stay and fight for what weve got
Knowing itll never be good enough
cause you and I are dangerous
We want too much and life aint that way
Dont ask for more
Dont be a fool
Havent we already broken every rule
It cuts both ways, were in too deep for sorry alibis
Cant have regrets or even question why
We cant say goodbye
Because it cuts both ways
No more illusions of the love we make
No sacrifice would ever be too great
If you would just stay
(bridge)
Cuts both ways
Our love is like a knife that cuts both ways
Its drivin deep into my heart each time I see we livin the lie
And it cuts both ways
It cuts both ways, mmm
Cuts both ways
Cuts both ways

Cuts Like A Knife
Drivin' home this evening
I coulda sworn we had it all worked out
You had this boy believin'
Way beyond the shadow of a doubt
The I heard it on the street
I heard you mighta found somebody new
Well who is he baby - who is he
And tell me what he means to you
I took it all for granted
But how was I to know
That you'd be letting go
Now it cuts like a knife
But it feels so right
It cuts like a knife
But it feels so right
There's times I've 'bin mistaken
There's tines I thought I'd 'bin misunderstood
So wait a minute darlin'
Can't you see we did the best we could
This would be the first time
Things have gone astray
Now you've thrown it all away
Now it cuts like a knife
But it feels so right
It cuts like a knife
But it feels so right

They're Noticing
I sit
An average day
I roll my arm over
He notices first
What happened to your arm?
I look at the cuts
That are freshly there
Nothing my cat attacked me
I say
He smiles and turns back around
But it's not my cat's fault
It's my fault
I made the cuts
With my old scissors
Next, She notices them
What happened?
I look at my arm
With the healing scars
Nothing, My cat
She smiles and laughs
I smile a little, too
But that poor cat
Taking the blame
When it's really me
And my scissors
Then, She tells me
You need to put your cuts
Some place else
People are noticing
Your cover is falling
Your cat won't last forever
I nod and cry
She tries to help
But what can she do
To make me stop
They're noticing, Darling
They're noticing

Losing Grip
Losing grip she holds to life,
She tells herself she won't let go,
Yet here she sits holding the knife,
Moving it ever so slow.
She sits beside her bed,
Knife pressed to skin,
Knees drawn to her head,
For she knows this is a sin.
Tears fall from her eyes,
They fall against the cuts,
Until the blood begin to dry,
She doesn't like this habbit, yet she's stuck in it's rut.
Her head falls back,
As sobs break the silence of the air,
Crys pour from her thoat, yet in volume they lack.
At the back of her eyelids she stairs.
Her hair falls around her,
A warm brown shall,
Not even the touch of a hand would make her stir,
As she listens to her creators call.
Along the slits she traces,
Time after time, line after line,
Forming a pattern like lace,
The paths, the cuts, so even, so fine.
pain shows through her face,
yet she drinks this pain, it is her feast,
Along her wrist, her body, the blood does trace,
She feels the least.
in the depth of the room,
She sits with nothing, no light,
Only the shine of the moon.
She knows sha can't stop, yet it feels so right.
The anger, the sorrow, flows through her, it all leaves,
The blood wipes it away, let's her feel numb,
A blanket of blood is weaved.
Her heart beats; a steady drum.
She looks down at her art,
When all the feelings are gone,
She stands, and slows her heart,
And waits for dawn.

Strength no more
I don't have the strength
to face you any
more.
I use to be strong and healthy
but, now I am weak
and I don't know if i can still hear my
heart beat
anymore.
It took all the strength I
had to get over you but,
I am still not over you and
I have no more strength to give
you anymore.
You took all strength I
had and now I can only lie
down in my bed and think
about you and me when
we where together.
Can I have my strength
back you back stabing jerk!

With Or Without You
I don't wanna live without you
God, it hurts to be alone
But livin' with you or without you
Cuts my poor heart to the bone
'Cause my heart gets broken everytime we fall
There's only so much left unshattered
This time I know my back's against the wall
But the truth's the only thing
That matters anymore
I'm scared in a crowd of people
And you're afraid to be alone
I have prayed you'd be beside me
I guess I'm meant to stand alone
Oh, cause our heart's get broken
Everytime we fall
They're beaten down and battered
You're so afraid you don't deserve it all
But you're not the only thing that matters anymore
How can I live without you in my heart
When I walk out this time
It'll tear me apart
My heart gets broken everytime we fall
There's only so long I can fake it
'Cause you let me go babe
We could have had it all
We had a chance
I thought we'd make it
'Cause I gave my heart
You had to break it
God give me the strength
I just can't take it anymore

All of Sudden
Cut me open,
See the tears you brought,
See the cuts on my wrist,
See what you brought me,
Oh look at me,
Look at your ex girlfriend cutting on herself,
Do you like it,
Do you like what you see,
Do you like the blood dripping,
Do wanna see more of it,
See what you done to me,
You made me crazy,
I am insane,
Too late now,
I am gone for good,
Can't stop me,
I out of your life now,
I have a knife in my hands,
Don't know what to do anymore,
Lost in my mind,
Gone lost my mind,
I HATE YOU,
All of suddenn you'll see me dead,
See me die,
Die in your arms.

So Dependent
What could make a man cry?
And what could make a strong man,
So hard-hearted shed tears uncontrollably?
Please let him cry,
Let him shed his sorrows away in salty tears
Let him cry to God; his Shepherd
For he is so dependent
So dependent on his love;
A love so piercing and far reaching
It reaches his innermost being; the real him
A love greater than a mothers love for a child
Neither can that of a newly wedded couple’s be likened to it
Not anymore can he hold,
Not anymore can he be stiff
Not anymore, he’s broken and out of his own strength
His strength has failed
Yet beyond his strength is one that holds the universe!

Oblivious
Day after long dreadful day,
I come home and quietly
put on my mask
so they don't worry.
I have a fake smile
plastered on my face,
and yet they don't even
notice a difference from a real and a fake.
I tell them my day was
fairly good.... each day!
Maybe tell them I
was a little bored.
I cover up my body,
act like everything is fine.
They don't suspect a
single thing is wrong with me.
They can't see anything.
They can't see that underneath
my smile, I am screaming
for them to notice!
They can't see that underneath
my mask, I am crying.
They can't see the agony and
sorrow in my eyes.
They can't see that underneath
everything, I am bruised, cut,
and shattered to pieces.
Blood is everywhere!
They can't see that I
hide my true self from them.
They think my mask is truly me,
they don't know anything.
Late at night and on my own,
I don't have to hide.
I don't have to wear my mask
or fake smile or clothes.
I scream and cry out to the night,
blood oozing out of me,
the pieces of my heart
scatter on the floor.
No one hears my cries,
No one sees my tears.
No one can see how hurt
I have been.
And now here I go,
back down this road again.
Spiraling down further
into the darkness.
Depression is taking hold,
this time it's stronger
and even more resilient.
I don't think I will escape this time.
This darkness creeps all
around me, consuming all that is good.
Replacing the good things
with five more bad things.
It takes hold of me,
reaches inside of me
and takes out my heart.
Takes my soul out.
Then on to another
victim, leaves me,
a corpse with nothing left inside;
just a shell.
The night closes in fast.
And I prepare for the worst.
This time no one will
be there to save me.
They don't even know
that I'm already gone.
They only see what
they want to see, and it's not me...

Savage Earth Heart
Ooooh!
...let me see the savage
I want to see the savage coming
Crashing through your face
I want to be there
When the savage comes
I want to be there
When the savage comes
When your savage earth heart
Cuts through
I wanna be a witness
Or a victim to your spell
Crackling in lightening
Dressed in shadows
Red like a carousel
I want to be there
When the savage comes
I want to be there
When the savage comes
When your savage earth heart
...cuts through
Will you lay all of your
Deepest wildest secrets bare?
Will you let all of those
Rumbling old gods take rage?
I want to be there
When the savage comes
I want to be there
When the savage comes
When your savage earth heart
Cuts through!
Then I was taken smoothly
By the vulture of the soul
That hideous strength
That numbs the tongue
And he led me like a cinder
Through the fields of hell
To doubt my friends and to hate myself
But when my savage earth heart
...cuts through
When my savage earth heart
Cuts through
Then my savage earth heart
...cuts through
And the culture of the soul laid waste

The Lord Has Wiped My Tears
Though I lost all
Though my tears wet my clothes
He's with me
Though I lost a lot
And I feel weak
He says He's my strength
He makes me sing
He gave me joy
He wiped my tears
He stood with me
He comforted me
He made me smile
Through my bad and tryin times
He held me up
And He says..
It's because He loves me
And so i sing unto Him
Cos my heart is filled with joy
And now i shed
But only tears of joy

Adieu [Adio]
Let us just strangers to remain;
Each other's smile thus to reject,
That love is ultimately vain
Like in a dream to recollect!
And our past love, so badly scarred,
Let's cover with a thick black shroud
And chilly rays of disregard
To feel that in our hearts will crowd!
The memories to us will flee,
But we'll perceive them as a dream
That back in time in a great glee
We bathed our souls and made them gleam.
And let's not cry when bitter grief
Cuts in our hearts a painful sore;
For we'll preserve a sweet relief,
The smile of that dear love of yore!
And if we ever go astray
In wilderness and shed hot tears,
Let us be guided by the ray
Of our forgotten lovely years.

I Am Not Made
I am not made for this
I’m not strong enough
I’ve often wondered late at night
What it’s like to stop
What it’s like to have the world stop
Stop right under my feet
And start turning the other way instead
Maybe if I don’t think
Some strength will return
Maybe I could push the world around
Spin it on the tip of my finger
Get it moving again
At my pace
Let it beat in time with my heart
I think I need some strength
Just until I’m alive enough
To start living again
To start turning again
I could find someone to be my world
Someone to be my strength
I think it’s time I found some
God, please rip me up
And start again
Just like you did with the world
Do it to the Earth again
Find some way to help me
Some way to get me some strength
God, please help me start again
I might just apologise
See if I did anything to be sorry for
I might stop talking
And close up in myself again
Just like the old days
Before I had the world
And lost it again
I am not made for this
I am hurting too much
To be thrown back out in the cold
Alone and insecure
Without my world at all
I am not made for this
I am not made

Ur Da One!
Dreaming of that day when i hold your hand standing so close
i can hear your heart beating.
Just knowing your my angel who protects me from danger,
makes me realize how lucky i am.
Iv'e been waiting for days, months, and even years
to meet someone so special and sweet like you.
Shivers hit me, when you start talking,
loosing my words and confussion strikes.
You untangled my strange mysterious life,
and opened happeinies to my heart.
Never realized how much i learned from you since that
day you decided to say hello.
A simple person like you discovered my inner beauty of who i am,
and a simple smile everyone adores.
Your tiny little habits i love to notice,
your cute and soft laugh i love to hear.
I pray day and night for the angels to gaurd you,
and light your way through darkness.
You found my lost key in the dark pitch black forest,
and unlocked my hurtful heart.
You entered and healed all my scars that were made,
and kissed them softly with your magical words.
Iv'e noticed in not walking alone down this lonly road anymore,
but im walking it with someone who loves me for who i am.
Iv'e lost my cinderella shoe so many times you have found it,
and slipped it back on.
If not for you i would be walking,
barefoot causing cuts and blisters.
You treat me like im a fragile crystal
that you scared to shatter and break
But hoping to see my smile instead
and fear the sadness that comes my way.
I just know ill have a blessed life with you,
being my best friend for life =)

In Ashes my Tears Now Lie
Here in ashes do my tears now lie
for every dropp filled with unrequited love did i cry
a smile that always cloud my sky
hear in ashes do my tears lie
I cannot smile a smile
but in one's eye its decieving
i cannot smile a smile
behind it lies choked words
words that i even hide from myself
it makes my tears taste even bitter
it makes the pain in my heart grow stronger and stronger
this smile is just a lie
so slowly is my smile fading
so slowly its secret is revealing
and so quickly im trying to stop the tears
but i cannot stop this secret from revealing the truth
i cannot hide the pain in my heart no more
i cannot hide the tears with laughter no more
all i can do is let it out
and slowly will it reveal the truth of what i have hidden for so long..
