We are all cowards
And I’m the biggest coward of them all
Tip toe around the lake of fire
With a smile on my face.
We are all fake
And I’m the fakest of them all
Wearing that joker mask
Instead of my real sad skin
We are all hypocrites
And I’m the biggest hypocrite of them all
With a skip in my step
And a joke in my mouth
Those who shift through the madness
Those who fight away the demons
Those demons that spell out doom
Those are the ones who live
The ones who the rest admire
The ones we all should strive to become.

If people would, just admit the obvious
That they don’t give a …… about you
Then things would be easier
You see, the brain it thinks things,
And likes to believe what it believes
Despite what logic has to say
Deep in your bones, you feel a creaking
That’s the truth trying to seep out.
Something that can’t be true
Oh but it is, it most certainly is
So don’t be mad at your bones
You know they mean well.
You may feel small, insignificant really
But that’s a part you play
In other people’s lives you see.
And life, it’s a theatrical play
With costumes and lines to memorize
A script you must go by
If you don’t, God help you
If you go off the beaten path
To try to make something different appear
Now I know, I realize how sad
How sad and depressing this seems
But that’s just a matter of opinion
For some, some of us enjoy it
And get some sort of thrill out of it all
Which is why I’m sitting alone with a smile on my face.

Is this a waste?
A robot floating in deep space?
Surrounded by the cold and the bleak
In places the sun couldn’t reach.
What a waste.
The robot floating in space.
With stars and rockets and meteors
All seemingly whizzing past
His eyes closed.
His circuits had stopped beeping
And his program had shorted out
As he tumbled into the ever after.
Then a light.
Surrounded his tumbling remains
And a woman in white appeared
Asking him to wake up.
He’s not a waste.
His eyes flicker open
And he stares into her light.
And she envelopes him.
They twirl and twirl
As his insides begin to work
And his cold machinery warms
As they dance in the night.
The years pass
And she grows old
And time takes her away
And he’s alone again.
What a waste.
The steel becomes cold again
And he becomes lifeless
And twirls into his end.

He walked down the street
As the music beats
With a jacket over himself
Passed the burned out buildings
And crumbling ceilings
Muttering to himself.
He got to a crowd
And among the sounds
He tried to scream his best
They paid him no attention
Until he thought to mention
That he had a bomb strapped to his chest.
They asked him why
And he could not lie
So he told them the reason.
There was a voice in his head
And it was God he said.
And he couldn’t afford treason.
Although it was no fun
God’s will must be done
He told his wife he loved her.
But she didn’t understand
That this was God’s plan
Soon it would all be over.
He pulled the pin
Let the explosion begin
The debris was a flying.
Forty five people around
Who heard the sound
And now they lie around dying.

Born alone, and alone I’ll die.
She told me I’d die alone
And alone I might be.
Wake up alone, and alone when I sleep
She told me I’d be alone
And alone I might be
Walk alone, and alone I walk
She told me I’d walk alone
And alone I might be.
Live alone, and alone I’ll live
She told me I’d live alone
And alone I might be.

A robot was made
Out of metal and clay
And it was powered by the sun.
Due to his program
He had lots of friends
Who appreciated how he was differently made
As time went on
He felt he belonged
With humans and with their kind
From the start
A robot with a heart
And that’s what separated him.
But soon madness
Sprinkled in with sadness
As he wondered for what purpose he served.
The metal inside
It began to die
Along with his spark from within.
As time went on
He felt more alone
And the lights in his eyes faded out

without you we turn into beasts
with foul breath and sharp teeth
we tear each other and rip into ourselves
and we are all for sell
without you we kick and we scream
as we cry out we forgot how to dream
the darkness spreads and our lights grow dim
as our ghosts wonder what happened to them.
our steeples will come crashing down
smashing all underneath to the ground
our towers of Babel stretching into the air
when for You we no longer care
we are like Peter when he did deny
we are like Judas leading to you being crucified
as the heavens wept when the Son did die
our towers of Babel still standing in the sky

Do villains realize they’re the villain
Or is it they just believe they’re doing what’s right
And everyone else just disagrees.
Maybe I’m the villain and I just don’t know it.
Surrounded by the plea of the Hero
And splashing around in their sorrows
The Hero stands for righteousness
Saving the women and the children
While chaos rains down across the globe.
The ground I walk on is already destroyed
From the previous scorched earth policy
Waiting for the Hero to put out the flames.
I can’t be the villain much longer.
These flames are suffocating me
I’m waiting on the Hero to pull me out.

Clasp your hands
Clasp them tight
And pray that God will rescue you
For we are suffering
And we are pathetic
And there is nothing that we can do.

As the dirt piles up in front of my grave
I’ll take three steps back and help
Those digging the hole…
Under the moon lit sky of the engraved rock
Are the words to remember me by
Where my head will rest…
The stars shine enough illuminating yellow
To lead me to where I should dig
Pushing the shovel into the dirt.
As I throw my body down into the dirt
I smell the earth as I begin to pray
For my soul to survive
When the Son of God comes to visit
To take those souls away
Out of their dirty graves
As the dirt piles up in front of my grave
I’ll take three steps back and hope
That I’m good enough….
Watching as the gravedigger
Throws dirt on my soul
I begin to pray
