Teleprompters

I can still remember trying, to make a good first impression,
But now I'm dying, dying to show you who I really am,
Put on a bright face and tuck away all the stress 'n' depression,
But in the process I barricaded the real me behind some invisible dam.

It Never Rains In February

Gotta curse my loyalty, every day, ‘cause it’s the only thing that makes me stay,
Gives you the right to say whatever you wanna say, from your shadow I can’t stray,
A wounding hold, like flame to a moth, branches caught in the rapids froth,
Like a slave, tattered cloth, fed on sparse helpings of your love ‘n’ cares sweet broth.

Black & White Television

Spent casings pool, and blood puddles, in the foreboding trenches,
The floral decorations border sunny park benches.

Ducking and weaving, taking cover as the glass borders bullet holes,

Found Footage Films

Watch them flee, as he tears this city apart,
Is he on a rampage, or just searching for his heart?

Only his rage shows, no one sees the tear flows, just feel the earth’s shake.

I know I do, to change so drastically and never be the same,
Thrown off my mortal aim, Outta the frying pan and into the flame.

Omega

Solitary, the determined man marches across the earth, this land of scorched hearth,
In the war he proved his worth, been a soldier at heart ever since his birth.

Couple dozen years have passed, since he lost his friend, it all happened too fast,
...

Four Horsemen

Nobody can see this hidden war,
Where the rich own the rights to the poor,
And corruption rots us all to the core,
Ignore it, lock it up behind the closed door,
...

8.
Ode To Salvation

Hold on tight, we got a chance to win this fight,
With all your might, just try and survive the night

The odds are against, they’ve got us fenced,
...

9.
Her Song

I guess, when the two of us met, I was a bit hesitant,
But the midnight talks and hour-long walks, ‘till we were just like family,
A new idol, yet in my comfort I never knew what it meant,
In my newfound content I'd never see just what you were poised to do to me.
