Not worth livin'
'mongst these fools
I've realized
all we are is tools
Free will taken
by society
I'm screamin'
Why don't they
Hear me?
Say what they want
And you'll be safe
They make us move
at too fast a pace
They say to share
your own mind
Then punish you
Say it's a crime
All these sheep
In hypnosis sleep
All our minds
We cannot keep
I cannot stand
one more day
now let me
fall
a
w
a
y
.
.
.
A single day
A single life
All of it
So filled with strife
I cannot keep
Up this pace
As I'm trapped
Within this race
The make me rush
Far too fast
This mortal flesh
Isn't made to last
As as I cry
Myself to sleep
One side of me
Begins to weep
One side becomes damp
With tears I
Dare not shed
The other rests
upon my bed
One side a mask
For the world
The other mask,
Emotions whirl
But no mask shows
My true self,
Her, I keep
upon a shelf
Stored for the day
That I meet
the one true me
But now I wonder
Will it ever be?
Do you know who you are
Do you know who you will be
Look inside the mirror
Ask "Who am I?"
"Is this me?"
The world gives us
A brand new face
Then throws us into
It's endless race
What is the point
We cannot fight
Now let me fall
Into the night
Open the door into the shadows
Open the door into your mind
When you look inside your soul
Do you know what you will find?
Can you see torments past?
Can you see your future self?
Do you see hope eternal
Could you see yourself looking back?
When you look through that door
Then you know theres no turning back.
Livin' in a dream world
Thinkin' I can stop it
Can't anyone see
That I'm fallin'
Don't fake sympathy
Not somethin that I need
Don't try to understand
I'm in my own land
Slippin' further everyday
Just want you to go away
Buildin' up my rage
Every time a new page
I can't find myself
Left my soul upon a shelf
Don't know the true me
That you think you see
No hope left here
That you hold so dear
Fallin' deeper in the abyss
Now I know I won't be missed
Watchin' my mind slippin' down
Seein' it shatter on the ground
Ain't nothin left for me
Nothin' good that I can see
Sorrow tears and blood rain fall
Should I see to end it a
Can't keep up this half-life
Living in my own shadow
Everybody wants me to be
The little girl who once was me
I'm fadin' away fast
That little girl wasn't made to last
And I wonder why can't they see
They're fightin' so hard to change me
I'm not one of them
No, I never was
When they talk all I'm hearing
"Why can't she be
Calm and sweet
Fit right in
It's no sin"
All of them try to mould my soul
Then wonder why it falls apart
Expect me to understand
Inside and out
Answers to far from my outstretched hand
Already at the edge of my souls land
Should I reach further I willl slip
Send me on one
final
I feel the shadows
Reaching through me
Feel my freedom
Slipping away
I see myself doing these things
Yet I'm powerless to stop
Trapped by a figment of my mind
My soul is fading fast
My anger will destroy all of them
And leave none of me
It searches for it's freedom
And tosses mine away
I thought I'd never be it's slave again
After what happened that day
Now I know that all along
My body was my angers pawn
The end is near
I no longer fear
Let the Pharoah claim his power
And crumble my life's tower
The hatred gone,
It won't be long
upon this faithful hour.
Shadows and games,
dragons and theives,
Anger and fear,
The end is now near.
Torment of shadows
Shall swallow the light.
Woe shall fall upon
All those who fight.
Horses and fruit,
Love and the streets,
The darkness destroys
All that it meets.
None shall escape
This ancient rage
Their lives shall be
Just another page.
The dragon of power
May only fall on the hour.
None know where from
Victory may come.
Let the chosen survive
The weak fall away.
Destruction of Ra
One fateful day.
Should the day ever come,
Let joy commence.
But should mankind fall
Let the record
Rest.

The Secret Life of... er, Moi.
It was six o'clock, and I was watching the news over my dinner. The current story was about a house that had caught on fire. A little girl had been trapped inside, but one of the firemen had gone in and rescued her. The camera cut to a scene of the house, fully engulfed.
… I was walking home. A fire truck zoomed by me, sirens wailing. I followed after it, wondering what was going on. The apartment building down the street had caught on fire. I overheard one of the people who had escaped saying that a baby was still up on the top floor. I rushed past the hose trucks to the inferno. As I ran inside, the flames bent away from me, avoiding me.
