Still Breathing
Still Breathing
When I am lost, Can't find myself, So alone, And need some help I stand up, And lift my head, I'm still here, So not dead (I'm still breathing...!) If I believed in angels, I'd call I'm satisfied if I don't fall I just want to prove to you, to me, That I'm being the best man I can be As I breathe... I feel the innocence tonight, I feel the whole world, as it takes flight I feel tomorrow and today, I feel us all, as we change I feel the fire and the pain, Through it all, here, I remain It can be so much to take, As long as I breathe, I won't break I still breathe... When I am hurt, With so much strain, And it's so hard, To breathe again I shout out, Bare my soul Holding on, Not letting go (I'm still breathing...!) If I believed in angels, I'd scream That I really need to hear them sing I just want to prove to you, to me, That I'm being the best man I can be I still breathe...! I feel the innocence tonight, I feel the whole world, as it takes flight I feel tomorrow and today, I

I said I was ready,
But I was so wrong
I shouldn't have said it,
Because I wasn't strong
Strong enough to be this man
Strong enough to raise my head
Strong enough to feel proud
Strong enough to not drown
Do you feel the way I feel...?
Do you believe you can make yourself real?
Do you believe in what you're worth?
And are you ready to hurt...?
To get stronger?
As I get older, I get loud,
Never willing to back down
I know who I am, and who I was,
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
I was scared, but now I'm brave,
As I wipe the tears from my face
I'm strong enough to feel alive...(I'm stronger)
So long ago, I could have died...(I'm

Cold and...waiting...
Standing on the corner there for days...
Lost and...forgotten...
How are we even still alive? I am so amazed...
Borrowed time...stolen...
We sell our souls, just to feed the drive...
This need inside...
All that we want, is what we need!
Standing at the pinnacle, of this hollow greed!
Ripping our veins open, we begin to bleed!
Left, at the end, with nothing but grief...!
It's everything you want it to be!
It's everything you think that you see
It's everything that you breathe!
It's everything that gets you off your knees
It's everything that you love!
Even though the bonds, they are so tough

I Was Wrong
I Was Wrong
Too many second chances, wasted
Too afraid of my own pain,
I wouldn't face it
Drowning in a sea of fear,
Wishing I was never here
You were the only thing in my life,
That was clear
I made you turn away from me,
And, you disappeared...
But, you know that I was wrong,
All these feelings, inside,
I took too long
Always falling, I cry,
I wrote this song,
To tell you, it was real,
And I was wrong
Now you've moved on, so happy
And my only problem with it,
Is it's not with me
Drowning in a sea of tears,
Wishing you could only hear,
You were the one thing in my life,
That was clear
I made you turn away from me,
And, you disapp
The Fault Line
The Fault Line
Every day's a wild ride,
Every moment of my life
And you know I won't lie,
I've deceived...
To all this pain, I relate,
Every breath seems a mistake
You know I'll bend, but won't break,
Even though I'll bleed
I'm standin' on a fault line,
'Bout to step onto a land mine
I'm hopin' you'll hear my cry,
And you'll save me
Standin' on a fault line,
'Bout to fall into a landslide
And there ain't no doubt in my mind,
You'll catch me...
Well, you know that I've lied,
Number one victim of my pride
My ego, it denied,
Everything I need...
To all this pain, I relate,
With every breath that i take

I don't trust you,
To hold onto to me,
With clarity...
About who you are,
Or who we were,
Emotions are trapped,
Covered in dirt,
And all I know is that,
This hurts...
The face of this existence,
Too unreal to be believed
I shattered all your fallacies,
Then, somehow, watched them breed
The arrogance you displayed,
Led to all my dismay,
And at the heart of it all,
This is what I have to say:
I don't trust you,
To hold onto to me,

When I first started walking,
The road stretched out of view
One foot, then the other,
Looking down to avoid the truth
All I could see was the dust,
As it fluttered around my shoes
I could have said I was living,
But I couldn't have shown you proof
And everything...seemed so wrong
I had a dream...that I was on,
The long way home...
Through the fire and nightmares,
Through all the pain that I have lived,
Somehow, I'm still standing,
Though at times, I know, I've slipped
Through the blood and tears cried,
Through all the days that would not end,
Somehow, I'm not breaking,
Though at times, I've been bent

A Little Masochism Goes a Long Way, Baby
A Little Masochism Goes a Long Way, Baby
I like when it hurts,
When it shoves me in the dirt
It feels so strong,
But oh, so wrong,
Like dying before my birth
I like it on my knees,
So you can watch me plead,
For my life,
For my blood,
For all my hopes and dreams
I like it on the floor,
Behind a locked door
When will you stop?
When will you start?
I don't care, anymore
I like when I'm in tears,
I've cried for you for years,
While inside I seethe,
I need relief,
Before you steal away all my fears
I love it when I break,
When you find how much I can take,
Then take me over the edge,
Leave me for dead,
Out cold, but wide awake
I love it when I scream,
Body, a sweat covered sheen

Music is passion,
It's true what they say
And once its inside you,
It never goes away(Ah...)
The first time you feel it,
Then you will know
So grab ahold of the music,
And don't ever let it go
Just drive and drown
Give in to the sound!
And cry it out loud!
(Just drive and drown)
Straight to the top!
We're not coming down!
(Just drive and drown)
Alone in the world!
No-one else around!
(Drive and drive and drown)
Give in to the sound!
Scream it out loud!
Just drive and drive and drown
(Scream it out loud!)
(Drive and drown)

Just drive and drive and drown
Music is life,
It's true what they say

Live Through This
Tonight, don't pick up that knife,
You're worth it, please let me help you,
In saving your own life
Tonight, hold your head up,
Look into the mirror,
And gaze into your own eyes
I'm betting you'll be surprised,
At just what I'm thinking you will find
We struggle...to breathe
We fight...to believe
We hope...to die
Even while we pray to survive
Hold onto the memories,
Of each and every really good thing
Let go of all the pain you feel,
So much hurts, it seems unreal
Hold onto the friends you've made,
Even all the ones who've gone away
Remember what it means to miss,
This is what will happen, if you don't live through this

I want to break this down,
And release this pain
I'm at the point where I don't care...
I want to break it all down,
Everywhere...
I feel like I'm trying to be
Someone I don't understand
My nerves are frayed,
And my spirit is worn,
This is not what I had planned
My nails bite into my hands!
A scream...
Rips from my throat,
As tears fall from my eyes
And right about then
Is when I realize!
I want to break this down,
Tear it all away
I want to break this down,
And release this pain
I'm at the point where I don't care...
I want to break it all down,

I Think I Want to Kill You
I think about you everyday,
But not in a good way
I think about your hair,
And the smirk on your face
I think about your long, graceful fingers,
And I wonder if you still taste the same
I think about my hopes,
And I think about my dreams,
But they are lost and gone now,
Drowned out by silent screams
I think I want to kill you!
For what you did to me
Because every time I see you!
You seem to be living so happily
I think I want to drown you!
In my pit of despair
I think I want to push your head down,
Every time you come back up for air
I want to feel that thrill,
Yes, I think I want to kill...
You
I think I want to see you,

I came here,
Looking for redemption

But I left here,

All I ever wanted...
Was to be the one you loved
All I ever wanted...
Was to be the one you were thinking of
But all I ever got was shame!
And all I felt was pain
So I lock this grief away,
And locked it shall remain
I came here,
Looking for redemption
I came here,
Looking for peace
I came here,
Looking for my future
But I left here,
On my knees
All I ever needed...
Was just to hear you speak
Every word that flowed from you,
Knocked me down and made me weak
All I ever needed...
Was to

I want it to feel the pain,
Deep inside and searing
I want it to understand,
Just what's driving,
Me to cut it all apart,
Bring it to it's knees
I want it to feel what I feel,
I need it to be be burning
I'm going to burn the world,
And erase all it's hate
I'm going to take the time,

But you don't seem to get it,
You just choose to remain
I am breaking promises!
To you all over again
I leave behind me!
A list of all my sins
I am breaking faith!
It is my intention to deceive
And I don't care what it does to you,
I'm doing it for me
You are so optimistic,
So very unrealistic
You think that if you pray,
You can make me change
And so I play with your mind,
It helps to pass the time
You keep looking for truth,
That you will never find!

Fire is my passion,
Consuming my pain
I am forever drawn to it,
Seduced by the flame
The heat, it tempts me,
To do such evil things
I am compelled to go forth,
And spread my burning wings
Cold are my emotions,
I am filled with icy rage
It wants to spring forth,
To be released from it's frigid cage
It is a cold fire,
That burns in my soul
It lies just beneath the surface,
And is but rarely shown

Now That You're Gone
Now That You're Gone
Endless days, endless nights,
Just didn't seem to feel right,
To me...
It seems like everything I did,
Was done with blind hypocrisy
I didn't know,
What it meant to live
All I knew,
Was that it was me...
That always had to give
And now...that...you're gone...
I have learned how to breathe!
Now that you're gone,
Gone away from me
The air is so clear,
And I can finally see
I don't feel abandoned,
I feel like I've been set free
Everything is new and so pristine,
Now...that you're gone,
Away from me
I admit that it's harder,
Than I thought it would be,
Because I still turn around,
And see you watching me
I still see those

By your own hate!
Here is something you can't deny...
I am still alive
Still...alive...
You tried to force me,
To believe all your words
But I've always known,
Just how much they were worth!
Yo
Hold On To Me
Hold On To Me
I know you have so many questions,
That haunt you in your mind
I can feel the tension bleeding from you,
But you don't know why
I see the fear...
Reflected in your eyes...
You feel like you're lost at sea,
With no hope of return
Too much pain,
Too many bridges burned
So to you...
This is my decree!
Whenever you are drowning,
You can always hold on to me!
I will lift you up!
I will raise you high!
And my love for you,
Will never die!
I...
Will be the answers that you seek...
Whenever you are drowning,
You can always hold on to me...
Life...has a way of catching you,
So totally unprepared
It knocks you over,
And it be
Listen to the Silence
Listen to the Silence
In that moment...
Between love and hate,
When everything just fades away
In that moment...
Between passion and pain,
Between secrets and shame
In that moment...
Between tomorrow and today...
Lies silence...
(silence)
(silence)
Have you ever...
Looked deep into her eyes,
Fallen into the abyss,
Before you realized,
That you were lost in the silence?
(Just listen to...the silence...)
I have heard that silence means,
The absence of sound,
But if this is true,
Then tell me,
Why is it so loud,
And why does it drown...?
In that moment...
Come With Me
Come With Me
You can have anything you want,
But sometimes you have to try,
To succeed
Courage, faith, and hope,
The things that help you cope,
Are the same things that get you,
What you need
You gain nothing in this world,
When all you do is plead!
Come with me!
Take a trip down memory lane,
Relive your life and all the pain,
That's brought you to where you are,
Right now
Come with me and you will see,
Wonders like you've never dreamed,
And all I ask in return,
Is that you believe
So come with me...
Life is like a silent partner,
Always demanding more
It drives you to the edge of madness,
Without ever telling you what for
The debt
Not Breaking
Not Breaking
The world is thirsty,
It's out for my blood
But if it wants it,
It will have to take it,
Because I'm not going to give it up
Life acts!
Like it can just push me around
Well I've had my fill,
Of all this misery,
And now I'm going to stand my ground!
I admit that there are times...
When I...feel so weak!
I admit that there are times...
When life...forces me to my knees!
I've had enough of life,
It's always taking!
This time I might be bending,
But I'm not breaking!
The world keeps on throwing punches,
That I can feel in my soul
But somewhere inside me,
The flame refuses to die,
And I can feel that spark grow
Life acts!
L
Feel
Feel
Silence,
In a darkened room,
I feel insane
It's over,
And things will never,
Be the same
I know that,
Things will always change
And I know that,
Sometimes I just feel pain
I know that, no-one is...
To blame
Sometimes things are just surreal,
But at least, at least, at least...
I feel
I feel shame,
For the things I've done
And I feel like,
I'm the only one,
Who cares
I feel elated,
That I have survived,
When yet another,
Piece of me has died
And I know that,
I long for you still
But at least, at least, at least,
I feel
Recrimination,
Holding me hostage,
Driving through my brain
Self defamation,
Coming from me,
What It Means
What It Means
What it Means
A friend will share with you
Your laughter and pain
A friend will stand beside you
And always remain
A friend will always love you
As long as you feel the same
A friend is not concerned
With assigning blame!
Always waiting
Always telling the truth
Always believing
In all the things you can do
I...have seen all these things
And that's how I know what it means
A friend should never deny you
When you are in need
A friend should always cry with you
Whenever you bleed
A friend should always be your eyes
Whenever you can't see
A friend should always hold you hand
Because that's what a friend should be!
Always

My Bio
I'm a disabled US Navy veteran, with injuries to my back, spine, and pelvis. I also have Bi-polar Disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder, and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. So, I'm like, royally fucked up. 
Since deviantART doesn't think you need to know this anymore, I am primarily a song(Lyrics)writer.I'm a husband, father, writer, and hardcore gamer.
I love to smile and laugh, and to cause others to do the same. My family: my wife, my partner, and my daughter, and our 6 evil but lazy(Absurd love whores is what they are!) felines, and now a freakin dog and a kitten for the dog, along with words are my life. I used to go insane every couple of months, but I don't anymore. It's...weird. 
I have two things that I ask ALL people to respect, honestly, I demand these things, and I'm trying to give them, in return:
Please, if you decide to critique my work, keep it clean, and make sure that whatever you might be complaining about, that it's not actually supposed to be exactly as it is, I am a songwriter, general poetic rules do NOT apply to what I do. Keep that in mind.2) Respect. We, as artists, being so different from "normal" people, must show each other the respect most of us won't get from the rest of the world. I know I've had my troubles with that, but thankfully I've finally learned just what respect really is, and what it means. Respect myself and my work, and I shall give the same. However, should you NOT do this, my response to you will be overwhelmingly negative. I'd like to avoid that, I stand for positive change, not negative drama.

Hiya! How are the folks who might actually read this? I am doing well, still have ups and downs, but doing well. :)
Today's question is: Are you often surprised at which pieces of yours receive, and continue to receive, attention?
When, should, you answer, I'd like to see the piece(s) in question that you feel receive attention you may feel isn't deserved. Link them in your comments.
And away we go!
