waiting for the answers
to come rolling in
waiting for the demons
for my soul, they win
screaming for redeption
yet nothing else is heard
screaming for the questions
or that final word
looking for the light
in a dark-filled sky
looking for the angel
that will let me fly
bleeding the regrets
i feel within my soul
bleeding all the pains
the fill this tiny hole
crying for the reasons
i will never find
crying in this darkness
that lives within my mind
living through a nightmare
yet i cannot wake
living through disaster
and my hands, they shake
searching for the knife
that cuts my ashen skin
searching for the evils
that i hide within
calling for a savior
in this endless sea
calling for the spirit
that will set me free
dying in a circle
of tiny little pains
dying in the cradle
of my precious veins
waiting for the answers
screaming for the end
living without reason
searching for a friend
5/01/98 Time Hurts
Living through a battle
no one else can see
for this precious war,
it does reside in me
battle lines are drawn
along with eager blades
and your eyes are forceful
as the threats are made
yet these things are useless
the hatred eats my soul
it'd take a thousand bullets
just to make me whole
knives begin to dance
and friends are betrayed
the battle line is broken
as the truth is slayed
watching all the hatred
bleed from broken minds
i'm searching for the answers
yet death is all i find
the pain is finally spoken
through the blood that spurts
its not the cut that's painful
its the time that hurts
