Inside of me,
was somthin’ that cared.
I wanted to give and love,
and make no pain show.
Oh how I use to love,
and showed greatness of light.
But now I can’t sence,
I have a broken heart.
I have just pain,
and emptiness.
Heartache, sadness,
thats all I have.
All I want is to show,
the love I had before.
But my heart is in two,
and burning […]

That dragon I must have
With it’s color changing scales
That dragon I must have

I can keep you forever
I won’t let you out of my sight
We will stay […]

No body knows my pain
Or the world through my eye
You don’t seem to understand
Why I kissed you good-bye
I tried to warn you,
And tell you of my fears,
You patted me on the head,
And told me to dry my tears
When I was gone,
You wondered where I went
You tried to find me
Until your energy was spent
But when you […]

I was alone when I found you,
I was alone when I first felt you,
I have no beggining no middle no end,
I was broken then you helped me mend,
I had nothing you gave me something,
You made me whole you gave me hope,
You helped me fight the evil within,
After all you have done,
I now know that I’m […]

Tears of pain,
Fall from the sky,
And no one cares why.
Can’t you hear the screaming,
Screams that will never fade,
It’s too loud for the ears.
Will it ever stop,
No one knows,
Stop the pain that’s in the air.
Tears of pain,
Fall from the sky,
No one cares why
