I sense a demon near me
While I pretend to sleep
It does not know it's become weaker than me
I wait listening closely
One more will die tonight
Watching, waiting, predicting
Plotting, extrapolating
Cursing, loathing, despising
Premeditating
Execute step by step as planned
Surprise, misdirect, attack
Control, finish him slowly
Clean the mess, go to sleep, forget

Nevermind how much it hurts
Once you're through you'll be free
That year the one I was
Died of a broken heart
Drowned in his own tears
Tore his mind to pieces trying to adapt
Forget everything you held dear
Project all your anger
Bypass all human factors
Focus on the logic
This is about survival
This is a challenge
Brace yourself for initialization
Full mental transformation
From now on nothing is sacred
Affection reborn as hatred

From a feeble boy grew a hardened young man
Openness turned into need for solitude
Desire to be loved into wariness
Blue-eyedness into cunning and guile
Take a look at me now
Take a good look at me now
The child who once was scared to sleep
Over the years has come to see
No monster hides inside a dream
The most fearsome creature here is me
Waves of insult peeled the softness off of him
String of broken hearts left little sympathy
Endless desert drained the fountainhead of tears
A million nightmares terminated his fears

To Hold Inside
05:59
|
|||
I have seen things
Things that keep me up at night
Things time does not seem to erode
I must remain strong
To hold these things inside
So you need not share
What I must endure
Please keep in mind
I'm doing this for you
One thing I demand
Don't ask, don't tell
Just remember this hurts me more than it hurts you
There is a reason for this silence
Please believe me, this is better for the both of us
One broken heart is enough

Every dream I've had I've buried with my own hands
All I ever asked was a place to rest my head
And when I sing, my songs are of you
And solely for you
For I am the wolf that howls your name to the moon
When I stopped dreaming of you and dreamt of death instead
That night my heart became broken
And when I sing, my songs are of you
And solely for you
For I am the wolf that howls your name to the moon
And when I dream, my dreams are nightmares
Of how I lost you
For I am the wolf that howls your name to the moon
So, we part as strangers
Forget my name, forget you ever knew me
For you were the only one
I ever showed my true self to
Now I must move on
To search for the home I will never find
And so I wander
Until fade to oblivion
I'm the wolf that howls your name to the moon

Confession
06:02
|
|||
Every night I dream of what you taste like
How your hips move, your voice, the sound of your breath
I have never wanted anything so bad
Please forgive me for my dreams
I hold her tight from behind
Kiss down her neck
And lower down her back
Lift up her skirt
And lick her all over
So soft she can barely feel it
Absorbing every motion of her body
And when she is ready
I let her feel how much I want her
Until she breaths again
I am trying to forget
But you are my weakness
I have never wanted anything so bad
Please forgive my dreams

Balancing Act
05:01
|
|||
I wake up hungover again
It takes a while to recognize the roof above my bed
I sigh for disappointment
Once again it still was not just a bad dream
My whole life is a balancing act I'm desperately trying to survive
Constantly building and destroying a whole meaning of life

Sleep Well
03:58
|
|||
Sleep well little one
Your last tear has finally run
Though you may be but dust and bones underground
With ease I remember how your laughter used to sound
Sleep well little one
Your pain is finally gone
I know nothing waits for us beyond the clouds
But into the memory I am forever bound
Your time is finally done
So sleep well little one

also started singing in bands. I've also played bass and keyboards when I've needed to.
I currently play for:
Manzana - Guitar/Vocals
Soulfallen - Bass
