Taken

This is what it takes for you
When you put me on your shelf
You can pack it away
You can keep it for yourself
There's one thing you've forgotten
And that's where I stand
But I'm losing ground
Since you've taken my hand
You've taken everything that's mine
Tried to give me what's yours
But I don't want it
I do not want it
I do not want it
I do not want this
I do not want this
I do not want you
I do not want you
I do not want you
I'm taking it back
I'm taking it back
I'm taking it back
I'm taking it back

A Better Way of Failing

This isn't living
This is only wasting time
There is no looking forward
Since I pushed my faith aside
I don't know what I'm doing now
Any more than I did then
Demands are made that I can't comprehend
Can't you see it's just a matter of time
Before you realize your mistake?
Now I'm being dragged under
I wish I'd never seen your face
Why did I think that I could put these doubts to sleep?
Why did I think there's be an end to this routine?
How could you give yourself to someone else so fast?
What made you think that it would last?
The feeling survives after the memories die
It was the best day of my life

Uncurable

Embrace the enemy, the only one you know
There's no end to this, there's nowhere left to go
There's the other way, it causes misery
No more trying, there's none left inside of me
Here before me lies the axe that plagues my life
A beer, a cigarette, an old and tempting life
Heart it pounds and the sweat pours down my face
You will run away but I will never chase

Now It's Dark

Unrepentant, your promise
Still broken, still hollow
Still bleeding, my sorrow
I keep waiting for tomorrow
What I thought was black
Was only gray
Shadows calling for me
None to walk away
Rehearsed motion, without feeling
Lying in bed, staring at the ceiling
Afraid of finding I've been dreaming
And I'll awaken cold and screaming
There is no in between
There is no gray line
Black is black
There is no white
Now it's dark
- Paul Blanda

As far as I can tell
It's all over now
What to do but wait
As the years run out
If I could stop your talking
I might some get some rest
If I had learned what to refuse
Then this would never have progressed
I doubt I've never cared less
You'll never bring me down again
This was a bad idea
In a history filled with them
I know that I'm in trouble
I know why this is wrong
I say I'd like to see you
When I mean I'd like to see you harmed
