King

I'll close my eyes
And retreat to my mind
With a song coming to me

I can hear it in my mind
The songs I listen to all the time
And it always ends with the question
Why should I be kind?

We're always told 
Don't be mean
Don't be rude
I mean, really?

What do we get out of it?
How did those at the top 
get so high up?

Even if they didn't mean to
They still did it, right? 
They tore others down
So they could build themselves up

Everyone on this Earth
Has a darker side of themselves
That you have to hunt down
To be light.

People usually win the hunt.
But sometimes
The darkness within
Eats to the outside.

A feral beast unleashed
And in the end
We all still have that primal desire
To try and be King.

  • Lost


    When your feeling lost
    And you lose your love
    And the whole wide world is against your soul
    So you put on your masquerade
    To blame them all
    Despite the catastrophe 

    The darkness consumes
  • Rant

    The world is a cruel place
    I learned that long ago
    But why is that so?

    Do humans have cruelty
    Running through through their veins
    Or is it burned in their heads
    With excruciating pain?

    They judge without thinking
