*The Devils Grin*

The sunlight piercing through the armor,
The waves come crashing down,
Sand filling the mouths of the thieves,
When everything comes to an abrupt stop,
Never felt this cold, never knew this existed.

If the mind were this enslaved,
If the memories would fade away,
Then what's there to live for,
If it was all taken away.

Such images telling a different story,
Letters scattered on the floor of an abandoned home,
Words mean everything when there's nothing left,
Who is there to hold when everything's wrong,
The burning ground and the amount of ash,
No water to wash it all away,
Just sulfur to make it one hell of a day.

If the mind were this enslaved,
If the memories would fade away,
Then what's there to live for,
If it was all taken away.

This scene of rage and sea of red
Flashing through the early days living in hell,
Thinking of what I should have done,
Instead led by the poison of infatuation,
Incinerated, cause of defeat in every situation.

No ones there to save,
No ones there to hear your voice,
No one was ever there,
All this fiction seemed fact,
Has your fear been that elevated?

If the mind were this enslaved,
If the memories would fade away,
Then what's there to live for,
If it was all taken away.

THIS IS MY 100TH BLOGGED LYRIC/POEM!

Pushing myself through this wave of destruction,
All we recognize is all this corruption,
The darkness in me,
The darkness in you,
We are all to blame,
I'm trying to find myself again,
I seem to have lost myself in you,
Failed to see what I could have had,
The light in the street is wearing thin,
The fire in our eyes is slowly dying,
I need to find myself before I lose myself.

Evil is getting the better of us,
I'm trying to be a better man,
I'm trying to be a better man,
Somebody come find me.

On the line to change my ways,
To be someone that I can trust,
Looking in the mirror
To see if I can recognize myself,
I figured I can do no more wrong
If I can look inside my soul,
One by one just trying to steer clear
Through the path that I have chosen,
The long walks down the road,
The memory of my heart you stole,
Fighting off the demons I see,
Young at heart and years to go,
Struggling to find a way back home.

(slowly)
Convinced that everything can be fixed,
With a gentle heart and a sweet touch,
Distance doesn't mean anything,
The hell we keep putting ourselves through,
The hearts that keep breaking,
The desire of finding oneself
No matter where life takes you,
To find a way back,
To understand.
(fade out)

Just trying,
Just trying,
Always trying,
Oh, just trying.

Better, better for me,
Better, better for you,
Going down that same road,
Similar writings on the wall,
Slipping and falling for you,
I've learned, but I guess not much,
Still stuck in the same state of mind
That was to blame all this time,
Looking for a way to get myself
Out of this hole that I've created,
Done with the long nights
Where I stayed up thinking about
Everything,
Up and away,
This crazy life and those sweet blue eyes
That always get me no matter what,
Tough luck along the way where I walk,
Finding a way to find myself again,
Because I lost myself in you, in you,
I'll keep writing everything down,
To keep track of what I love,
To keep track of the thing's I lost.

Better, better for me,
Better, better for you,
Wondering where I stand
If I just do what I'm told,
Or if I continue walking
Making decisions on my own,
Go all out, go on 
Making a move to eliminate
Any evil within,
Any hatred for yourself,
On the road again,
Feeling weak, but strong,
No sound around me,
All hope around you,
Finding myself in this situation
That got me where I am now,
Lost myself and still turning every direction,
Let me work this out on my own,
Let me warm to where I feel I belong,
Maybe I'll find myself in you,
Maybe I'll finally see what you've been through,
Maybe I can fix you, I want to,
But I need to fix me, to find me,
Without knowing yourself where do you stand?
Better, better for me,
Better, better for you,
This garden,
This mountain of life,
The words from our mouths
Don't always feel right.

It's
Better, better for me,
Better, better for you,
It's
Better, better for me,
Better, better for you.

Sometimes I feel like this world's going to explode
In my hand,
The feeling that justice will prevail
Is slipping away,
The words are my own, not yours
Find another hell,
Heaven is dead and no one understands
Belief that life is dying.

Situations put us in a different state of mind,
When is it time to settle the score?
Hunting down what is mysterious,
Blame yourselves because you're fucked up.

Had everything just to watch it wash away,
The dark in the sky and the light in her eyes,
So close to defeat as I'm close to victory,
Wondering over the mountains looking for the sunrise,
Standing tall, but any moment I'll dissolve,
Walking through the forest of regrets,
Stumbling in pain through the streets of missed opportunities.

The glow in the sky, the fire blazing in the heart,
Repetitive motions, unconscious decisions,
Hunger in the eyes, saving the best for last,
Fierce, furious, focusing too much on what's wrong,
Neglecting the importance that paved the way for the future,
The rules of this life, the deep roots in our blood.
