  1. "The Truth Beyond The Truth"
  2.  
  3. I looked into her eyes,
  4. And saw only beautiful lies,
  5. But little did she understand,
  6. Only the truth would suffice.
  7.  
  8.  
  9. "The Asp"
  10.  
  11. Time and death, inseparable,
  12. The consequences, irreparable. The oldest of lovers, preceding life,
  13. Gray machinations, a turn of the scythe.
  14. A lovelorn child withers before our very eyes,
  15. Tries to recapture their youth, shudders, dies.
  16. Black cloaked putrid liturgy spewing forth from rotten lips,
  17. Time embraces death,
  18. Fetid corpulent kiss.
  19.  
  20.  
  21. "Green Eyed Girl"
  22.  
  23. You were the only one that stopped the pain,
  24. You fit me like a glove,
  25. But in the end, I understood,
  26. You hate what you love.
  27. Square peg in a round hole,
  28. Turns out, it’s not enough.
  29. In the end, romance ain’t grand.
  30. You hate what you love.
  31.  
  32. “Unmask”
  33.  
  34. To the tragic beauty living in the past,
  35. To the pious man afraid of acting rash,
  36. To the ballerina too numb to dance,
  37. Unmask.
  38.  
  39. "Public Enemy Number One”
  40.  
  41. I don’t fit with society, I am just an animal,
  42. I internalize my pain, like a melancholy cannibal.
  43. I ponder this life,
  44. Wander this knife.
  45. Any meaningful sameness long since faded,
  46. Humanity seeks to keep me berated.
  47. The only shame for miles that I see,
  48. Is that of an ignorant society.
  49. The arm of necrosis that I have to sever,
  50. This feverish dread that I have to weather.
  51. For the longest of whiles I did not seem to mind,
  52. Now I long for somebody, another of my kind.
  53. I’m beginning to think that she does not exist,
  54. Since this feeling of cutthroat cynicism persists,
  55. And while everyone around me thinks I’m jolly and grand,
  56. Inside I remain a broken man.
  57.  
  58. "Salvation"
  59.  
  60. I am cold, but not in winter,
  61. I am pained, but not from fist,
  62. Slowly, I pull out the splinter,
  63. Watching this decay desist.
  64. Family is all around me,
  65. None of them can see a thing,
  66. As I tear this darkness out of me,
  67. I grin at them, and bear the sting
  68.  
  69. "Mr. Mikey"
  70.  
  71. You're fucking crazy, this is true.
  72. But that's okay, for I am, too.
  73. You talk to the almighty, or so you claim,
  74. While I peddle Lucifer's ball and chain.
  75. You swear by modesty, you must not molest her,
  76. While I gleefully encourage all wounds to fester.
  77. You swear your soul to a failing Jesus,
  78. While I cannibalize my inner demons.
  79. I, in short, have hope for you,
  80. For despite being weak,
  81. You're crazy, too.
  82.  
  83. "Someday A Brunette Will Kill Me"
  84.  
  85. I want someone to love again, to hold all through the night,
  86. The weight of her head against my chest, a shield from every blight.
  87. And we would bear each other's weight.
  88. And ours would be lives linked of fate.
  89. Girl, you are such a lovely dancer,
  90. Do not mind me, I am just the cancer.
  91. You say you're not one to cast stones,
  92. Don't want me going home alone.
  93. Even a human disease like me can set his soul free,
  94. Encircled by hair of longest length, feeling nothing except HAPPY!
  95. Maybe everyone has their match,
  96. And after all these tears, there is no catch.
  97. I have renounced the bitter knife,
  98. Decided to embrace
  99. My life!
  100.  
  101. "The April Fool"
  102.  
  103. I'm sick of being the butt of every joke,
  104. The one at which everyone takes a poke.
  105. I'm more than just a laugh.
  106. I'm more than just riffraff.
  107. Please look into my heart, see I'm a living human.
  108. I'm not dead yet, it's corpses they're exhumin'.
  109. Please save me girl. while I'm still alive.
  110. Before I'm dead inside.
  111.  
  112. "Mutual Friend"
