Porcelain Dolls Can't Breathe.
Eye lids slowly rise
Two peaked brows
Signifying an arch of innocense.
Masked in the depths of
Porcelain and perfection
Cool skin desgined with
The finest porcelain selection
She masters a paint-by-numbers kit.
Bits.-
Of her delicate psyche
Strewn along the floor
Placed on a metal shelf
And sold
As if this doll were a whore
With he now the merchant
He drags his purchase through the door
But, this doll she hasn't yet fallen.
Stalling.-
The crash
Right to the ground
But, when she finally does
Will she even make a sound?
She opens her mouth
Just the same; nothing comes out.
Has this doll been forbidden to speak?
Weak.-
Is this lord of hell that she seeks
As he grazes one finger
Along the cheek
Of her porcelain skin.
That he longs to caress
Obsess-
Over.
And, posess.
Self deluded and righteous
Narcissim reeks
He has an undying need
To fix something that is broken.
Choking.-
She sits, impossible!
She cannot even breathe
Nor can she think
Speak, Walk or see
Yet, astonishingly enough
Her value; it only increases.
Pieces.-
Left scattered
Froom the fall that did shatter
Her body, dismantled.
But it doesn't yet matter.
This doll now
Sits hollow
Yet he couldn't tell
That if he'd been there when she actually fell
This doll may be justifyably broken.
Smoking.-
Her head.
Eyes rabbied, feverish,
And, yet dead.
Her gaze sparkles from
Mallicious intent
She bows down to the man
Yet, refuses to repent!
This doll, resurrects from the surface.
Purpose-
She finds.
Seeking revenge,
And, ownership of her own mind
She manipulates
As lies flow from
Perfect pillowed lips
And sex screams
From her tiny swaying hips
This doll has revived filled with nothing but venom.

If Death Had A Face, It Would Be Pretty.
A porcelain Doll
Dressed like the Grim Reaper
In this pit of pure darkness
I fall even deeper
Shrouded in mystery
Consumed by suicide
An obsession with control
That I try to hide
Playing this life
Like one hand of poker
Where I am the Queen
And, God is the Joker
But, the Devil's the King
Who always reigns surpreme
It's like a nightmare I'm stuck in
Some screwed* up lucid dream
Skies of Vanilla-
Except that they're NOT
All I see is darkness
Until my eyes start to rot
But, then a hint of some light
Again-just a tease!
Another joke from the 'master'
And, now the skies start to freeze
'Hell' may be on fire-
But, it's heaven that's COLD
Eternal Peace?
I'm not entirely sold
'Fiction'-I'll call it
A master-piece, even!
But, darkness consumes me
So, it's fiction I can't believe in!
A view of this world
With a saddist's telescope
That leaves me in agony
With no faith and no hope
I try to look away
Yes, my eyes I try to close
Yet, toward this dark pit
It seems the path that I chose
So on I continue
As if magnetically drawn
Again, with this riddle
As if God's only pawn
Yet, when I get close?
This puzzle-I start to solve
Right in front of my face
The answers seem to dissolve
Then, with wreckless ambition
To simply conquer DEATH
I look to the sky
And, question: what's left?
Like a Pile of Ashes
I lay strewn on the ground
As my voice begs for freedom...
Yet, I don't make a sound.

The Curtain Closes
I sit here again
Starting once more
Lost yet another friend
And, now I feel as if I've lost the war
Shattered and broken
Now I lay bleeding
A knife through the heart-
To stop the beating
So empty-so lost...
So beauitfully broken
I cry and I sob
On the floor choking
I give up
-This time for certain
I'm done with this play
Please just close the curtain!
And, one single tear drop
Slides down my cheek
As I pray to the unknown
To stop feeling so weak
And, then I stand
And I start walking
I open my mouth;
But, it's like I'm not even talking
I really can't take it-
It's too hard to believe
I did it again!
And, now I can't even see
So now I am falling
And, failing this test
As I hear death calling
I lay here a mess

Everybody Is Broken
I'm looking around,
But, it's like everybody is broken!
Suffocation-no breathing!
We all seem to be choking
Spread on the ground
Just like shattered glass
Oh, to be free-
Free of this place now, at last!
Life, that is-
The Journey, the test.
This GOD forsaken battle...
We understand it less and less
Yes, all the broken people
Never asking to be here
Filled with nothing but-
The most intense despair
We fall down to our knees
We beg to find salvation
Ringing through the air
You can hear our desperation!
I try to look away
My eyes I try to close
Because, we ache so much inside
But, it's like it doesn't even show
The Darkness invades
The Dark-it surrounds us
We're bound and we're gagged
And, no light is around us!
We run, and we hide
We then beg for a chance
But, that drug it is sly
And, it takes us at first glance
I want to scream out loud
But, instead I sit here choking
Why are we so lost?
Why are we so broken?
Never really knowing
What to do or say
Never really seeing
The road that is the way
And all we see is darkness
So again we try to hide
But then we cannot find
A way now back inside
So where do all the people go-
When they've become so broken?
How can we prevent the death...
When they sit there choking?

Shabby Doll
Giving you more of what for
Always worked for me before
Now Im a shabby doll
Whats going on behind the green elevator door
With just a shabby doll
Theres a hit man facing
A compromising situation
With just a shabby doll
And a very neat line in character assassination
Shes just a shabby doll
Shes just a shabby doll
Shes putting him off and putting you on
Shes just the shabby doll
Youre swearing upon you know in your heart
Shes gone you know in your heart
Shes just a shabby doll
Theres a girl in this dress
Theres always a girl in distress
Shes just a shabby doll
Shes so sure shes self-possessed
Then again shes half undressed
Shes just a shabby doll
The boy that I used to be
Showed no sign of sympathy
For just a shabby doll
I have betrayed you and me
And paid for my own bribery
With just a shabby doll
(chorus)
Hes the tired toy that everyone enjoyed
He wants to be a fancy man but hes nothing but a nancy boy
Hes all pride and no joy
And being what you might call a whore
Always worked for me before
Now Im a shabby doll
Untie the gag the cats out of the bag
But wont show his claws
Hes just a shabby doll
She said you must be joking
Some things are left unspoken
Youre just a shabby doll
Hes lying limp and soaking
He was openly broken
By just a shabby doll

Have You Ever Been To Hell?
Have you ever been to hell?
Well, I can show you how it looks
It sits inside a needle
Guarded by the crooks
All the Devil's children
Stealing souls by day
No matter if we beg
Or, what we do or say
They take away our freedom
They cuff and tie us down
We try to scream out loud
Yet, we cannot make a sound!
The Devil's guards' they are
They sit outside the cage
Dressed in body armour
And, filled with only rage
And, once you're locked inside
You cannot even breathe
So, you better just prepare-
And, remember you can't leave
Poison it does come-
In many forms and shades
It tears apart the people
Who become the Devil's slaves
Fighting for a way
To try and stop the demons
As they enter deep inside
You can hear the victim's screaming
Yet, no exorcism works
The soul it has been taken
The pain is overriden
As the life has been forsaken

Lover doll, oh lover doll
Lover doll, lover doll
Youre the cutest lover doll
That I ever did ever see
Let me tell you lover doll
You were meant, just meant for me
On the first time that I saw you
How I fell for your cuddly charms
Lover doll Im crazy for you
Let me rock you in my arms
Im so glad I found you
Never thought dollies came full grown
Im gonna tie a ribbon around you
Wrap you up and take you home
I would never treat you badly
Like a cast away broken toy
Lover doll I love you madly
Let me be your lover boy
Im so glad I found you
Never thought dollies came full grown
Im gonna tie a ribbon around you
Wrap you up and take you home
I would never treat you badly
Like a cast away broken toy
Lover doll I love you madly
Let me be your lover boy
Lover doll, lover doll

Potassium is an Essential Nutrient!
I want to peel you
Like I might a rotting banana
Exposing your insides
And, savioring the good
Chewing and swallowing
What's left
Leaving the rotten parts behind
The skin left a heap on the floor;
Waiting for the next person to
Slip, trip or fall over
With the realization that it's empty inside-
Nothing is left.
Even the decay discarded
Seperately,
And divided amongst the pits of human waste.
With the consumption of your soul
Nourishing my body like a silver-white
Soft-light Metallic Chemical Element.

Baby Doll
Girl of my dreams she dont love me
Always the way it seems to be
My baby doll
Light of my life she turns it on
Over my head not close enough
My baby doll
Baby doll
You look so good
Baby doll
You feel so big
Baby doll
You let me have it
Why did you do it baby doll
Quick-tempered queen knows what she wants
And what I got is what its not

Tear Off Your Own Head (It's A Doll Revolution)
Who dries your eyes when you cry real tears?
Who knows or cares what imitation is?
Only you do
You can paint his nails
Make him wear high heels
Why waste time altering the hemline?
Or do you?
Tear of your own head
Tear of your own head
It's a doll revolution
You can bat your lashes
You can cut your strings
Pull out his hair with your moveable fingers
It looks so real
But one won't do, so collect the set
Dress him in pink ribbons
Put him in a kitchenette
How does this feel?
Tear of your own head
Tear of your own head
It's a doll revolution
What's that sound?
It'll turn you around
It's a doll revolution
They're taking over
And they're tearing it down
It's a doll revolution
You can pull and pinch him
'Til he cries and squeals
You can twist his body
'Til it faces backwards
Plastic features
Could make somebody a pretty little wife
But don't let anybody tell you
How to live your life
Broken pieces
Tear off your own head
Tear off your own head
It's a doll revolution
Tear off your own head
Tear off your own head
It's a doll revolution
What's that sound?
It'll turn you around
It's a doll revolution
They're taking over
And they're tearing it down
It's a doll revolution
It's a doll revolution
Revolution (revolution)
Tear off your own head
Tear off your own head (revolution)
Tear off your own head

We Are One-We Suffer Together
The Revolution lives…
Mind pollution gives
A reason to this game
A season with no name
A rapture's what we'll call it,
No, you just cannot stall it!
Giving in…seduced by dark
No longer just a Question Mark
Asking why? Or, how? Or, when?
In the dark-yes yet again!
We succumb to all the death around us
We feed and lie
As the rest surround us
A taste so pure
So bloody, fresh
We bite down
Upon the flesh
The sharpest fangs-
They pierce the skin!
And, then this revolution
Does begin…
Taking over, we steal their souls.
In the dark
So nobody knows!
We will win
We will fight
On we go-we feed, we bite!
We stand tall, we have risen
Up above; And now they listen!
Victory
We now know…
In the sunsless slime;
As they scream: "NO! "

Transfixed.
I lay in a coffin
Rest my eyes, as I close the lid
Now finally of
-This sorrow, I now rid.
As my body grows limp
And, my breaths start to lessen
A gun slides in my mouth
As I pull the trigger of this wesson
Spewing through the air;
Blood surely splatters
The sound is so raw-
It's mixed with organic matter
The brain; it flatlines.
As does the heart
Farewell to the soul;
Was there even one from the start?
Peaceful and rested
Now I shall seem
Lost in death's trance
Tossed within the dream
Eyes now left nothing-
But, a blank lifeless stare.
Donned in all black.
Peace now fills the air
Waving goodbye
From a place deep within
No longer convinced
This suicide is a sin
Empty and dead
Yes, dead to the core.
I dreamed of this vision.
Yes, I dreamt it before
Now in my death
I find solace and peace
I find my soul at ease
As I now lay deceased.

Quiero Tu Manos Por Todo Mi Cuerpo
If I could just touch you
Maybe I could breathe
But, because I can't touch you
It's like I can't speak, walk, or see
A look in your eyes-
One like NEVER before
It seems to just haunt me
Until I'm left screaming for more
If only I could feel you
For at least just a moment
Just one touch, one taste-
And, I'd make it mine and just own it
I promise one touch
Is all that I need
I'll then live off of the memory
Of that one touch-I plead...
But, if I do feel you,
I may crumble to the floor
I may extend a hand
And, beg for one more...
It is you that I long for,
As I desperately try to gasp for a breath...
And, I just need to feel YOU...
I now mourn your absence like a death!
And, while they try to bury you
Paralyzed-I fall to the ground!
I try to stand up, I open my mouth,
But, to no surprise-I can't make a sound!
But, I know that you feel it
No words were ever needed...
The memories they haunt me,
Like a button that's stuck, or a show that's repeated-
I can see you and hear you,
I feel the energy lighting the room
The darkness, the light,
A black rose in full bloom
I can practically taste you
It's the Laws of Nature we can't defy
You can't prevent it from happening
It's something that you just can't deny...
I know that you feel me
As I course through your veins
I could be the perfect drug
As I surrender-you hold the reigns!
It's a lust, and a longing
It's DEVOURING need..
It's obsession-I crave you
And, now you feel it, indeed!
So I reach out a hand,
You must embrace this fate
The air, it is thick
And, it IS getting late!
So walk with me,
If only one time...
Because you DO feel my desire...
Yes, we've cross that line.

The Great OD
One Pill
Two Pills
Three Pills
FOUR.
Ten Pills
Twenty Pills
Fifty Pills
FLOOR.
Fall down-
Hit the gorund.
Eyes they blur,
Can't make out a word.
Spinning in circles
Can't seem to breathe
Legs they are swollen
Feet they feel weak
Laughing and crying
It seems like a joke
Like a game you're not playing
With the clear of the smoke
Reaching for help
Needing a hand
Can't even try
To sit
Or to stand
Falling back down
Breaths become weaker
You're starting to drift
Drift even deeper
Hopsital visit
At four in the 'mourn
Heart it seems broken
Yes, heart it seems torn
Parents-awake!
Daughter is dying...
She's left in a heap
On the floor crying
Carted away-
Strapped to a bed
'You're luck you're still-
Alive and not dead! '
But, it seems like a play
It just doesn't seem real
Yet, it's this pulse that they want
It's this life that they steal
Vials of blood
They seem to take
As smiles and sanity
You continue to fake
Grinning through tears
You try to hide
All of the pain
You hold onto your pride
Regurgitation
Takes over now
Out with the bottle;
Out with it somehow
'Everything will be okay-'
You hear in your sleep
You hear them say
But, then you are choking
And, dreaming and done
And, there just simply is no way
That it's these pills that have won
When you awake
When you come to
The pills are now gone
And, you are once again you
And, the pain it subsides
For merely one day
As you fall to your knees
And you begin to pray
You thank the lord
You're still alive
And, you let out a breath
And, you let out a sigh
As you finally see
You finally realize
That it just simply was not
Your time to die.

It's Getting Ugly
They want to live
You want to die
You don't know why
You feel the pain
You scream his name
Crying
Trying
Unsuccessfully dying
Is this how it was meant to be?
You
Without me?
Is everything you say a lie?
Why the hell do we even try?
Why do we care?
Take the plunge
Do the dare
And then the day comes:
'I don't love you anymore.'
What is this life...
Worth living for?
Did I love you?
Do I now?
Could it be true
Someway, somehow?
Did you really
Shatter my dreams?
My voice is begging
For you to hear me scream
'Why me? ! '
I scream outloud
And, soon enough
We have a crowd
'She's going to jump! '
Somebody yells
TIC-TOC
The time tells
'Goodbye, ' I whisper
Oh-so-low
I hear some pleas
Of 'please don't go! '
So, forgetting life
Love, and hate
I dive into the air
Accepting my fate
Gasps, and cries
And, begs of 'NO! '
As I reach down
To closer below
And, then it's over
In a flash
My body is mangled
My head is smashed
I can no longer think things through
I can no longer think of you
A new escape-
I now begin
But, in the end
Did I win?

Little doll I cant forget
Smoking on a cigarette
In my life a real queen
Prettiest thing I ever seen
Uh-huh
Youre the one who makes me sing
Bring happiness and everything
Youre the only real one
A real way to have some fun
Uh- huh

Just a Horror Picture
Look into my face
Look into my mind
If it's sanity you look for
It's what you probably will not find
Gone are the days
That I had peace of mind
The contract has expired
And I signed the dotted line
There was once a world
A world I thought I knew
But, along with my sanity
That world is gone now too
And, now I sit here stuck
I'm living in this hell
Drugs they did take over
It's my soul that I did sell
I sold it to the devil
As I shot another bag
And, now I sit in pain
And, scream and choke, and gag
But, I cannot stop these cravings
I cannot quit this stuff
The pain it is too real
The addiction is too rough
It's like a scary movie
That I dream to just rewind
Or pause or just start over
But, there's no button I can find
So on I go with living
But, it's drugs that I must quit
Because, I cannot take another day
Living on this sh*t.

Rag Doll
Rag doll.
What tales you could tell.
A child's embrace
By a wishing well.
A painted face
And a Wizard's spell.
Ay birthdays
Young.
She always clung
To you.
Rag doll.
Of red and blue.
Rag doll.
You lay abandoned
On the floor.
Now lonely
Behind a cupboard door.
You weep.
Where is that spark
She used to keep
In her heart.
That you could feel.
Now she is grown.
You play no part.
You are not real.
From pigtails.
To E- mails.
Smiles,
For him now.
Not you.
Old rag doll.
Of red and blue.

The Missing Puzzle Piece
I try to think
Of one reason you left me
And, I try to envision
Why you did reject me
Yet, I cannot seem-
To really place it
Or maybe I just can't
Really face it
How could I provide you-
With what heroin could?
How could I give to you-
What that drug, it would?
So seductive, so peaceful
Even graceful when dying
As we'd shoot through sky
So high we were flying
I think of your smile
I remember those eyes
So sad
And, so blue
A devil-
In disguise
YOU were my drug
YOU were my breath
And, now it is over
And, now I face death
So empty-I am
I feel as if I am dead
I now close my eyes
Because, I cannot look ahead
I remember the touch
-The touch of your hand
I remember those feelings
That I now know I can't stand
And, now part of me just
Wants you to bleed
To scream-and to cry!
To feel, and to need
To know what it feels like
To be abandoned
For you to do this to me
I could never even
Have Fathomed
Yet, there it is-
The writing's been written
Across the wall
And, I feel like I've been bitten
By something
That's powerful
And, deadly
And, raw
Like the bite of a viper
Yes, I freeze
But don't thaw
As the venom
Starts flowing
Right through my veins
I scream
And, I choke
As I now lie in pain
I try to get up
Yes, I try to fight
But, it doesn't seem worth it
It just doesn't seem right
So, I kiss you goodbye
And, then I spit in your face!
It is your existance
That I now dream to erase!
Your voice
And, your sorrow
Your anger
And, despair
Your need to keep using
The fact
That you don't even care
One time we lived,
United as one
But, that time has ended
Yes, we've come undone
And, like a puzzle that's missing
It's center piece
I'm left strewn and scattered
Overcome by defeat
Yet, you will be the one
To eventually LOSE
When you are the one
Who again starts to use
And you'll use 'till it's over
And, your RIPPED
And, your BROKEN
As you sit on the floor
Left rotting and CHOKING
And, then I will chuckle
Hell-I might even grin!
My life I'll renew,
A new life I will begin.
