I growl,
A carnal,
Primal shout,
For crying out loud,
I pound the ground,
Hit my chest with my fist,
Like King Kong I'm pissed,
Your attack helicopters missed,
And I smashed them to bits
with a flick of my wrist...

We sit and watch these horror film
To glare and see the gore
Blood and guts
Spilling out

Blood all over the floor
We tremble wth fear
As we watch from are set
Captivated
Watching

Wanting more
Vampires
Chain saw massacres
movies we watch
All to see the blood and gore
Films we watch over and over again

To get are high s we watch these films
More and more blood and gore
Is what we want more and more
Vampires blood and gore

The easiest way to disappear
is to pretend I don't have much to say
But then words get trapped inside my head
like a parasite eating away my brain
As I stand on the edge of darkness 
I feel consumed with guilt as I'm coming down
And this is how it feels to break a part 
when I shatter from finally hitting the ground
So this is where I am when my choices
are all left up to me
Its a sickness in need of a doctor
to prolong my bitter suffering
Lord I can hear your voice loud and clear
and I heard every single word you said
But I chose to live with the absence of You
not worried about paying the consequence
So now I'm just a reflection of who I was
standing on the other side of life
And the person that smashed the mirror with a fist
wants to let the person on this side die
Self medicated delusions I don't know
if my recovery has ever been so sincere
More of a cold sobering aspiration that I
throw away giving in to all my fears
So now I find out just how bad it hurts without
the supplements of bottled years
Restore me to who I know I can be
and chip away these frozen sobering tears

What is a Shadow? When you walk or run you give it life,
But when the light's reflection is gone it disappears, that is
Until, the sun comes up or the street lights go on.
But were does this lifeform go in the absence of light ?


Does it die or is it reborn again, it can't be the case
Of life as we know it. The Shadow always manages to come
Back when the sun is high, and it follows you everywhere
It seems to be an entity, a phantom that can reinvent


Itself at will. It is more than just a reflection of our human
Aura, it is a creation brought about by light. It cannot talk,
Eat or sleep and it is not a living being as we know it
But it never dies because it has never lived. It is a


Nondescript lifeform that is always present in light conditons.
It cannot be explained but it seems as real as you or I.
In the Shadow World we would be the reflection of the Shadow.

I can hear the walls whispering to me
Day and night, no peace do they give
They tell me that you don’t really care
That you are just playing me for the fool

I know THEY are watching the house
I cannot catch them, they constantly change
The youth, the child, the old man and woman
None of them can fool me at all

They follow me down to the supermarket
In there they talk behind my back
It’s lies, all lies what they are saying
But by peoples faces I can see they believe

I don’t know what to do anymore
I know I’m sane, I’m not unstable
Who are these men, white coats they’re wearing
Stay away, just don’t come near me

He’s a liar, a thief and a fornicator
To me he is the scum of the earth
Doesn’t matter if it is male or female
To him they’re the same, makes no distinction

I can hear the blood in my ears pounding
The rage burns, it is consuming me
Voice keeps talking, guiding me
One hammer blow and dead he lays

On street corner the harlot stands
An abomination to all that’s right
Flaunts her body, talks so crude
Does she think that I would want her

Again the voice speaks quite clearly
I know my duty, what must be done
Through the air my hammer flashes
Split her skull, blood everywhere

God praises my swift action
Tells me I am his beloved son
I must rid the world of evil
One by one I must slay them down

You don’t understand, I have a mission
Don’t measure up, then you are on my list
Only those that are blessed saintly
Will survive the wrath of God

So tell me Dear, I want to know
Your love it seems like it is cooling
When round I come to visit you
Your doors and windows tightly shuttered

I bang and yell, I call you so loudly
But he only thing that comes from your house
‘Go away, Angela she don’t live here’
This voice, it sounds so much like you do

But tell me Dear, could I be sadly mistaken
I thought I saw you just go in this door
It was only a couple of minutes previous
You rushed right in and the door banged so loudly

So tell me Dear, I really need to know
Is our love like the tide receding?
For six months now I’ve followed you
To work, shopping and even to the doctors

Every time you catch a glimpse of me
Like the Flash, you seem to be disappearing
I’ve had the police come hassle me
The bastards call me a stalker

They don’t know, they don’t understand
This special love, this exciting bond
So pure, the ground you walk on I worship
There is no way you would call it stalking

Tell me right now Dear, I must have your answer
Your love will you to me surrender
For if your love has faded away
Then no other man shall have you

In the dark alleys and byways
There they hunt at night
Not werewolves or vampires
But monsters like you and I

By appearance they seem so sane
Just like anyone you’d meet
But when you look into their eyes
It’s all dead, cold and empty

So these ones hunt at night
No one is safe near them
But then come cold light of day
They look like you and me

Everywhere I walk I find the ones that cannot talk,
Are we here to be silent,
Am I the one left out trying to say,
That one day this could end,
It's not my choice to know,
It's not my choice to let it show,
How come nothing in life is free,
Do we have to pay with our soul,
For the abuse of our role,
No life left inside this heart of mine,
I've been broken by time,
Is there a solution is there an answer,
If there is I'd like to find it, but If there isn't,
Why bother!!....

I can feel the hat, thick and tangible
It is like a living entity all around me
Black and putrid, it assails the nostrils
It rolls onto the taste buds, tasting like death

Through red rimmed eyes I look at you
Already I can see you laying there
Sliced, gutted, screaming in utter agony
As you beg the life slowly flees from you

I, cold and calm, like an avenging angel
Stand over you and plunge the knife again
Again and again, thick red blood squirting
Spraying those damn lace curtains of yours

As you are near death you ask the question, “why?”
Why? There are so many reasons you b*tch
All these years you made my life a misery
You sanctimonious Sunday bloody Christian

They only saw the good side, the church side
Where you prayed so fervently for souls
At home you showed your true side
You’d scream at me and hurl abuse

For so many years I took it all
But there’s a time the worm must turn
Today, right now, I nod and smile
For tomorrow could be the day
