The Gambit


I Told Myself But Never Admitted To
What I Knew…..
Insinuations. 
And Yet There’s Still That Part Of Me
Waiting To Get Back Home, Back To My Room
And Say,
That Trip Took A Really Long Time,
Now….What Was I Doing?
How You Managed To Keep Us All Together
Without Figuring Me Out?
A Card Up His Sleeve, The Gambit Was Mine.
But I Can’t Seem To Turn It Off.
And I Can’t Explain The DejaVu.

Long Story Short,
I’m Cornered.
Every Second I’m Haunted,
Gory With The Dead Of Night.
Recycle Myself,
Just Don’t Think Of Tomorrow.
And As About I Flail,
This Is My Fairytale.

Life seems Lifeless,
For The Dead Travel Fast.
I’m Catching My Breath,
Another Hopeless Romantic.
Somewhere In Between
Pop And Gothic Before,

Predictable In A Dream.
No Wonder Meant In My Feet.
I Am Defeat.

Old Soul


So, I’ll Just Finish My Drink
 And Be On My Way.
I’d Love To Weather But I Can Not Stay.
At Least She’ll Wonder 
What Might Have Been,
Instead Of Knowing How Bad It Is.
I Can Never Sleep
 Even Though She’s Always Still.
I Swear To God I’m Ready 
Though My Eyes Lie Still.
You’re New…………………
An Old Soul………
I’ll Return.
 Got No Time At All.
Without A Whisper.
 Without A Care.

One Day There Won’t Be A Tomorrow.
No Rain To Wash Away The Sorrow.
Always Love Me-Rest Of The Day.
Because, Baby, You Keep Me Holding On
When All My Strength Be Gone.
Never Let No One Take You Away.
Every time I Come To Thee……..
I’m Falling In Love With The Devil
Every Time I Come To Thee.
Too Insecure To  Be For Sure.
Too Insecure, I’m Never Sure.
Why Did We Have To?

Of Gothic Miserys
Of Times Never Began.
She’s A Dream A Day Ago While We’re Near.
While We’re Left With The White Noise Of Burning.
I Heard You Calling My Name.

Just Another Song About The Good ‘Ol Days.
Smilin’ Hi At Back Of The Line.

Is This The Angel I’ve Been Singing For
Or The Demon I’ve Been Waiting For?
I Can’t Tell,

I Have A Plan To Escape Death.
I’m Not Even Here.
I Lay Hidden, Dorment,
Into Another Realm
Where The Devil’s Health
Has No Effect Upon My Shell.
And While All People Frown

To Escape Death I Was Born Dead
With Movie Stars Inside My Head.
It Should’ve Been Me Instead.
