Ripples

Ripples move around my feet
As I walk alone
Around the edge of the lake.

I wish you were here with me
To share my favorite place.

There’s people all around me
Yet I am alone,
Because the one person I need
Is left at home.

As the days go by
I miss you more and more.
I wish you were here with me,
Walking with me on the lakeshore.

Torture Chambers

This place would be hell if it wasn’t so cold,
The daily torture is getting real old.
I sit in this place and don’t understand,
What did I do to deserve this?
Was it really that bad?
 
Chambers of torture, bare white walls,
They lecture and talk,
Are they trying to kill us all?
‘cause we’re sure to die
if we don’t get out of this room.
There’s no way to protect us from our doom.

The memories fade but don’t go away.
Striving for happiness
But I know I’ll never see that day.
I wont live long enough
I’ll die in this pace,
And there’s nothing you can do
To prevent this fate.

Tunnel of Hopeless

Each morning waking up,
Dreams of last night gone.
Friends abandoned for the drugs
Slowly tearing you to pieces.
You’re looking for a way out,
For the light at the end of the tunnel.
But outside the tunnel it’s night time,
And the darkness only presses in more.

Catch Me When I fall

Worried and scared
Lost in the dark,
Of a place
Deep in a cold heart.
Afraid of the unknown,
Terrified of what is.
Don’t want to go home,
Get me out of this.
There’s no one to help me
Because no ones around.
Is there someone out there
To catch me when I fall down?

Dear Grandma

Hey little brother,
What's it like to be the baby of the family?
To be the one they love.
Hey mom,
What's it like to know your girl hates you?
To know she's sad because if you.
Hey dad,
How's it feel to be the weak one?
Because you're the abuser and the ignorant.
Grandma, you think we're a normal family.
You haven't seen reality.
You never see the true screaming matches,
The hits and cries for help.
You don't hear him cry out in pain,
Never see me run to stop daddy.
You think we're a nice normal family, 
Well don't you have some lessons to learn.

Shredded Security Blanket

You stole away my one safe haven
Tore my security blanket into pieces.
I had one place left to go,
One last grain of hope,
And all you could do was destroy it.
Why can't you let me have on place to turn?
Why can't something go right?
I thought you were my teddy bear,
Taking care of me when no one else was there.
But now that feeling is gone
Because of your selfishness.
I worked for years for it,
And in five minutes you destroyed it.
You're going to pay for this.
Fix my safe haven and I still won't forgive you,
I'm gonna fight you for what I needed.
I still need that virtual world I created, so
Give me back my shredded security blanket.
