I come from a long line of Fighters.
If I had kept count, we would probably be around World War 35,
Everyone in my family stands their ground like different countries.
Occasionally an alliance is made,
And like any war
A treaty is made to hopefully
Resolve the...

The old days were the best days we shared together. We could talk to each other about anything and everything. Time stood still the few days at a time we had with each other, but would fly by in between. We made the clearest memories, the kind that will never fade nor faulter. Our problems were...

Gradual beginnings of Clarinets
Frozen frames of plastered masks

The life of a contemptuous person
Flashes violently before my eyes
Swoons of haunting memories
Lash at...

I can't go through the heartbreak anymore
I burn for love that is non existent
Why can't i let you go?

It's time for you to go

Bittersweet death
Set me free
why so sad?

People have the desire to want
There’s no need to say you don’t

You say you will be there
I wait
While I'm waiting she's doing my hair
She tells me not to hope

You call later and say
'Honey i want be able to make it"

Something wet rolls down my face
She repeats, "i told you, not to hope"

You say you want to...
