Slowly the pen touches paper in the guidance of the words that you write.
Memories roll in; of the things you once did
and who you had shared them with is somebody thinking of you.
Did I bother telling you this, with the words that cross teeth and jump lips?
A poor choice of words, in wanting to tell you anything.
But words don't come with ease. They're forever my hurt.
Would it really matter, if you were to count the days left with your hands?
Your focus secure and the loves you left; well
smiles staged in photographs here until...
You, you left the light on.
There's a chance I might have tripped, girl
You were there to hold on.
[Chorus:]
Ignoring the words of your obnoxious little brother;
kill or be killed spilled the words from your mother.
I'll lay awake for a while.
I'll leave the light on a while.
But you couldn't last a lifetime. Caught between here and the days of it;
carving her name across your arm with every wish. It's hit or miss... her.
I told you so. I measured distance in lines departing the rest of my life.
But you, you, you... you had better things to do [x2]
Liar, liar, liar, liar. [x6]
[Chorus]
If you get put to sleep, like an old dog, you're better off.
If you get put to sleep;
I've been cautious with the words I extend.
Allow this year before the world starts to end.
Your father's dead. He passed in his sleep,
and I woke to the sounds of her crying.
[x3]
Your father's dead. He passed in his sleep.
Pray for us all. [to fade]

Endangered species, caged in fright
Shot in cold blood, no chance to fight
The stage in set, now pay the price
An ego boost don't think twice
Technology, the battle's unfair
You pull the hammer without a care
Squeeze the trigger that makes you Man
Pseudo-safari, the hunt is canned ...
The hunt is canned
(chorus)
v
All are gone, all but one
No contest, nowhere to run
No more left, only one
This is it, this is the Countdown to Extinction
Tell the truth, you wouldn't dare
The skin and thophy, oh so rare
Silence speaks louder than words
Ignore the guilt, and take your turn
Liars anagram is "lairs"
Man you were never even there
Killed a few feet from the cages
Point blank, you're so courageous ...
So courageous
[Chorus]
One hour from now
Another species of life form
Will disappear off the face of the planet
Forever ... and the rate is accelerating
[Chorus]
Shot in cold blood, no chance to fight

I feel the sense beginning
The beginning through the end
There's nothing left to fear now
So watch me close
As one again you...
Burn me alive
Set me on fire
And watch me die
Burn me alive
Watch me burn to light right before your eyes
There's no reason to cry now
There's nothing to forgive
The suffering's my blessing
The death... is how I live
So
BURN me alive
Set me on fire
And watch me die
Burn me alive
Watch me burn to death right before your eyes
Set me on fire...
And watch me burn...
Set me on fire...
And watch me... BURN me alive
Set me on fire
And watch me die
BURN me alive
Watch me burn to death right before your eyes
The beginning through the end
There's nothing left to fear now
So watch me close
As one again you...
Burn me alive
Set me on fire
And watch me die
Burn me alive
Watch me burn to light right before your eyes
There's no reason to cry now
There's nothing to forgive
The suffering's my blessing
The death... is how I live
So
BURN me alive
Set me on fire
And watch me die
Burn me alive
Watch me burn to death right before your eyes
Set me on fire...
And watch me burn...
Set me on fire...
And watch me... BURN me alive
Set me on fire
And watch me die
BURN me alive
Watch me burn to death right before your eyes
We are a living absolute
Stuck in an anguished innocence
This moment loved
I greet the sun
And wake from a war i could have won
Well in your arms I'll keep this memory to me
This kitchen floor won't reveal all the things I felt for you
Please level with me
Understand, I'd do anything for you
Sieze any moment while you care
This void's coming after you
Cause loneliness is why you hurt
Just don't kill the messenger
The dust a-dance against my breath
The world awaken slowly dressed
A life unanswered in the light
With questions scattered in the night
And now my heart feels heavy
The weight will drag me down
You were the only reason
They'd find me here tonight
Please level with me
Understand, I'd do anything for you
Sieze any moment while you care
This void's coming after you
Cause lonliness is why you hurt
Just don't kill the messenger
Stuck in an anguished innocence
This moment loved
I greet the sun
And wake from a war i could have won
Well in your arms I'll keep this memory to me
This kitchen floor won't reveal all the things I felt for you
Please level with me
Understand, I'd do anything for you
Sieze any moment while you care
This void's coming after you
Cause loneliness is why you hurt
Just don't kill the messenger
The dust a-dance against my breath
The world awaken slowly dressed
A life unanswered in the light
With questions scattered in the night
And now my heart feels heavy
The weight will drag me down
You were the only reason
They'd find me here tonight
Please level with me
Understand, I'd do anything for you
Sieze any moment while you care
This void's coming after you
Cause lonliness is why you hurt
Just don't kill the messenger
Peeling the clothes off her body.
Her scars deepen in color,
As goosebumps rack her pale skin.
She shivers at the chill of the air.
Her lovers name carved in the soft flesh on her left arm.
A burn scar on an L on her right foot.
Small scars, big scars.
Doesn't matter to her, she did them herself.
The scalding water runs out of the shower head.
She walks in and her skin reddens.
She winces,
As if dragons are licking her with their pointed tongues.
She scratches at the new scars to become.
Her long fingernails caked with blood.
The copper red water drains.
Her tears bleed into her face.
"I can't stop" she whispers to herself.
Hearing it echo back to her, she winces.
All alone in a big house.
Nothing should have happened.
But, something did.
Anything can happen....
Don't trust the monsters hiding under the bed.
She did.
Look at her now.
She's gone...
Her scars deepen in color,
As goosebumps rack her pale skin.
She shivers at the chill of the air.
Her lovers name carved in the soft flesh on her left arm.
A burn scar on an L on her right foot.
Small scars, big scars.
Doesn't matter to her, she did them herself.

Hearing it echo back to her, she winces.
All alone in a big house.
Nothing should have happened.
But, something did.
Anything can happen....
Don't trust the monsters hiding under the bed.
She did.
Look at her now.
She's gone...
Tightness in my chest
I cant breath.
The only time I can escape
is when I fall asleep.
Constant nausea
constant fear.
How did this happen
knowing I'm safe here?
It's a constant worry
another will strike.
I worry about it all the time
it makes me lose my appetite.
My sight darkens
my life flashes.
My worries control my thoughts
my heart crashes and burns to ashes.
You have no idea what its like
to live one day in my shoes.
Maybe if you did
you wouldn't judge me as you do.

Her beauty is that of a million diamonds glittering in the sun
Each reflecting its own ray of light making brilliant patterns
The angels gasp in the wake of her presence
She in herself being a masterpiece of God’s work
As his giant gentle hands molded her he knew exactly who she would be
She would be the one who could make a man stop and gasp
Who could content a man just being within his arms
Making him fill with warmth through just a brush of the lips
Whose smile could light up the surrounding darkness
Whose laugh could make anyone believe they had wings
She would be the one who that young man would fall for
Who would see her true beauty in the surrounding gloom
Who would long for mere minutes with her
Who would always long for just the feel of her hand
He would know how lucky he was
He wouldn’t mistake infatuation over love
He would realize all prayers had been answered
He would simply pray “I want her to be the one”
Each reflecting its own ray of light making brilliant patterns
The angels gasp in the wake of her presence
She in herself being a masterpiece of God’s work
