"I'd Come For You"
Just One more moment, that's all that's needed.
Like wounded soldiers in need of healing.
Time to be honest, this time I'm bleeding
Please don't dwell on it, cause I didn't mean it
I cant believe I said I'd lay our love on the ground
But it doesn't matter cause I've made it up forgive me now
Everyday I spend away my souls inside out
Gotta be someway that I can make it up to you now, somehow.
By now you'd know that I'd come for you
No one but you, yes I'd come for you
But only if you told me to
And I'd fight for you
I'd lie, it's true
Give my life for you
You know I'd always come for you
I was blindfolded, but now I'm seeing
My mind was closing, now I'm believing
I finally know just what it means to let someone in
To see the side of me that no one does or ever will
So if your ever lost and find yourself all alone
I'd search forever just to bring you home,
Here and now this I vow
By now you'd know that I'd come for you
No one but you, yes I'd come for you
But only if you told me to
And I'd fight for you
I'd lie, it's true
Give my life for you
You know I'd always come for you
You know I'd always come for you
No matter what gets in my way
As long as there's still life in me
No matter what, remember you know I'll always come for you
Yes I'd come for you, no one but you,
Yes I'd come for you
But only if you told me to
And I'd fight for you
I'd lie, it's true
Give my life for you
You know I'd always come for you
No matter what gets in my way
As long as there's still life in me
No matter what, remember you know I'll always come for you
I'd crawl across this world for you
Do anything you want me to
No matter what, remember you know I'll always come for you
You know I'll always come for you
Wednesday
The warm kiss of her sunrise left me speechless
I think about the night
and our twisted bodies
the overwhelming feeling of something more
she touched a road I didn't know existed
the pathway to the heavens
the doorway to the abyss
we knocked on the sky
and shook the ground beneath our feet
as we fell into the night
grabbing at handfuls of flesh
we found trust and reveled in love
fearing it would all fall
looking for the flames to crash and consume us in fire
we couldn't understand that perfection
instead we continued to build on it's back
but we haven't began to scratched the surface
of everything we have to give
I think about the night
and our twisted bodies
the overwhelming feeling of something more
she touched a road I didn't know existed
the pathway to the heavens
the doorway to the abyss
we knocked on the sky
and shook the ground beneath our feet
as we fell into the night
grabbing at handfuls of flesh
we found trust and reveled in love
fearing it would all fall
looking for the flames to crash and consume us in fire
we couldn't understand that perfection
instead we continued to build on it's back
but we haven't began to scratched the surface

Tuesday
maybe I should've let her in
so she could see the darkness
try and grasp all the rage
maybe that would've been enough
she would've known I'm a man
that I'm everything I'm cracked up to be
that this world will never pierce my depths
or crush me in it's wake
but she'll never know how fucking hard I am
or the pain that moves and motivates me
I don't think anyone will
loneliness is my keeper
and rage is my ferry into the darkness
I wear the scars of my soul
in the art on my arm
strung out there for the world to see
but self absorption blinds them
and they'll never be able to open their eyes
they'll never be able to see
that they were drowning
and an outstretched arm was for help
not an invite to pull me under
they'll just move on
until they find the next chump
so she could see the darkness
try and grasp all the rage
maybe that would've been enough
she would've known I'm a man
that I'm everything I'm cracked up to be
that this world will never pierce my depths
or crush me in it's wake
but she'll never know how fucking hard I am
or the pain that moves and motivates me
I don't think anyone will
loneliness is my keeper
and rage is my ferry into the darkness
I wear the scars of my soul

strung out there for the world to see
but self absorption blinds them
and they'll never be able to open their eyes
they'll never be able to see
that they were drowning
and an outstretched arm was for help
not an invite to pull me under
they'll just move on
until they find the next chump
Monday
I hate you too much to think
your words, your lies
I can't let go
I don't know why
my rage is you
I toss out words
for the wild animals to eat
but they can't taste me
they don't know me
left with the loneliness
shadow boxing thin air
finding a balance
before I rip out my mind
and shove it down your fucking throat
your words, your lies
I can't let go
I don't know why
my rage is you
I toss out words
for the wild animals to eat
but they can't taste me
they don't know me
left with the loneliness
shadow boxing thin air
finding a balance
before I rip out my mind
and shove it down your fucking throat
Thursday
shit pours out of my mouth
when I start I can't stop
I just wanted to bust your head
guess you'll just call the cops
you'll run your mouth like I'm afraid
but I have no soul and you won't be saved
I'll break your face cause I can
and fuck you I won't stop
guess you should've learned some respect
when she told you no and you didn't stop
when I start I can't stop
I just wanted to bust your head
guess you'll just call the cops
you'll run your mouth like I'm afraid
but I have no soul and you won't be saved
I'll break your face cause I can
and fuck you I won't stop
guess you should've learned some respect
when she told you no and you didn't stop

Henry Rollins Quotes
This guy is amazing. I love his books and spoken word. I wish I could write like this guy. Here are some of my favorites or just some serious deep shit. People as a group can't think like this.. they are cattle waiting for their grain and grass that is tv, news, media or whatever spoon feed bullshit they choose to make their point of view.
“If I lose the light of the sun, I will write by candlelight, moonlight, no light. If I lose paper and ink, I will write in blood on forgotten walls. I will write always. I will capture nights all over the world and bring them to you.”
“Don't do anything by half. If you love someone, love them with all your soul. When you go to work, work your ass off. When you hate someone, hate them until it hurts.”
“The blues is losing someone you love and not having enough money to immerse yourself in drink.”
“It is no surprise to me that hardly anyone tells the truth about how they feel. The smart ones keep themselves to themselves for good reason. Why would you want to tell anyone anything that's dear to you? Even when you like them and want nothing more than to be closer than close to them? It's so painful to be next to someone you feel strongly about and know you can't say the things you want to.”
“It's sad when someone you know becomes someone you knew.”
“If you hate your parents, the man or the establishment, don't show them up by getting wasted and wrapping your car around a tree. If you really want to rebel against your parents: outearn them, outlive them, and know more than they do.”
“Life is full of choices, if you have the guts to go for it. That's why I get immediately bored with anyone's complaining about how boring their life is, or how bad their town is. Fucking leave and go somewhere else. Or don't.”
“I believe that one defines oneself by reinvention. To not be like your parents. To not be like your friends. To be yourself. To cut yourself out of stone.”
“When was the last time you wanted to say it all to the right person? To have it all come out right, to surprise yourself at how together you could be. When was the last time you ever met someone who made you want to give it all to them? I mean give yourself to them. Where you couldn't express yourself enough - like you wanted to cut off one of your arms to be understood. That's it - you would cut your head off to have someone understand you. You know how pointless that one is. You know how many times you've smashed yourself to bits on the rocks.”
“I am ready for whatever's coming. I expect nothing but to be let down or turned away. I am alone. Goddamn. The shit hurts sometimes, but I realize what I am, what I have become. The alien man waved his arms up and down and noticed that he couldn't wave in the right language so he stopped.”
“Hope is the last thing a person does before they are defeated.”
“I think about the meaning of pain. Pain is personal. It really belongs to the one feeling it. Probably the only thing that is your own. I like mine.”
“Why do you think the old stories tell of men who set out on great journeys to impress the gods? Because trying to impress people just isn't worth the time and effort.”
“Loneliness adds beauty to life. It puts a special burn on sunsets and makes night air smell better.”
“It's hard to get along with people. As much as you try to like them and accept them as individuals, it becomes difficult because they keep getting out of line and wasting your time.”
“There are so many hammocks to catch you if you fall, so many laws to keep you from experience. All these cities I have been in the last few weeks make me fully understand the cozy, stifling state in which most people pass through life. I don't want to pass through life like a smooth plane ride. All you do is get to breathe and copulate and finally die. I don't want to go with the smooth skin and the calm brow. I hope I end up a blithering idiot cursing the sun - hallucinating, screaming, giving obscene and inane lectures on street corners and public parks. People will walk by and say, "Look at that drooling idiot. What a basket case." I will turn and say to them "It is you who are the basket case. For every moment you hated your job, cursed your wife and sold yourself to a dream that you didn't even conceive. For the times your soul screamed yes and you said no. For all of that. For your self-torture, I see the glowing eyes of the sun! The air talks to me! I am at all times!" And maybe, the passers by will drop a coin into my cup.”
“I don't want to know. I don't need it. I don't want the information that millions of people have. I don't want to be fed these boring facts and figures. Then you'll become one of the masses. I'd rather starve my mind a bit and have to search out nutrition in stranger places.”
“I walk the straight lines. I walk through the summer nights. I walk the silver rope of dreams. I walk through dawns of dawns. There’s not a lot that isn’t dying. I see people parading in front of each other like insects in a killing jar, watching each other die. I walk the straight lines throught the Christ machines. Through the eyes of throwaway people. Through the wards and the shores and the cracks in the skulls of the sidewalks. Through love’s howling vacancy. I am the freedom soil. I dig my own grave. I resurrect myself every night. I am all things to myself. I walk the straight lines. I walk the spiders’s jailhouse. I walk the think line, the thin line, the white line and all the line in between. I wish I could trade in my eyes.”
“Life will not break your heart. It'll crush it.”
“I forged myself out of a vacuum. I crawl along the highway on hacked off stumps year after year. Some wonder how and why. I never do.”
"They say true love only comes around once and you have to hold out and be strong until then. I have been waiting. I have been searching. I am a man under the moon, walking the streets of earth until dawn. There's got to be someone for me. It's not too much to ask. Just someone to be with. Someone to love. Someone to give everything to. Someone."
"My pen knows what to do. I close my eyes and I see this girl who glows. A girl who radiates. When she smiles, she beams. She warms my heart. I open my eyes with a feeling of floating past all the garbage around me. I will emerge unscathed because I will not endeavor to hide myself from whatever is coming. Bring on the worst. I welcome it with open arms."
“If I lose the light of the sun, I will write by candlelight, moonlight, no light. If I lose paper and ink, I will write in blood on forgotten walls. I will write always. I will capture nights all over the world and bring them to you.”
“Don't do anything by half. If you love someone, love them with all your soul. When you go to work, work your ass off. When you hate someone, hate them until it hurts.”

Drunk'n Bullshit
I can not forget
just what you said to me
it killed me in the moment
lost all that we could be
you said you cant remember
your words or what they meant
but in my mind they're tied
to places I never will forget
you lit a match and tried to burn
all that we could be
but instead you threw up hate
and spit it inside of me
you didn't possess the skill and
try to make it not hurt
concerned with only one thing
looking for your shirt
I needed help from you
but all you did was shrug
I wanted love from you
but had to beg for a hug
I gave my emptiness your name
I guess we played our pieces
and I just lost the game
just what you said to me
it killed me in the moment
lost all that we could be
you said you cant remember
your words or what they meant
but in my mind they're tied
to places I never will forget
you lit a match and tried to burn
all that we could be
but instead you threw up hate
and spit it inside of me
you didn't possess the skill and
try to make it not hurt
concerned with only one thing
looking for your shirt
I needed help from you
but all you did was shrug
I wanted love from you
but had to beg for a hug
I gave my emptiness your name
I guess we played our pieces
and I just lost the game
My pain
your cold eyes tear me apart
once solitude and shades of green
sparking ashes of our dying dream
pull your finger nails from my skin
twisted tongues strangle our fading thoughts
quiet could hear a falling tear
you cried once not enough
to satisfy this coming death
calmer than the darkest night
drown my feeling of this starving need
once solitude and shades of green
sparking ashes of our dying dream
pull your finger nails from my skin
twisted tongues strangle our fading thoughts
quiet could hear a falling tear
you cried once not enough
to satisfy this coming death
calmer than the darkest night
drown my feeling of this starving need
One perfect moment
I lay awake watching her sleep
she moves me, however I don't make a peep
dim sunlight kisses over the curves of her warm skin
I want to describe this moment but don't know where to begin
trace the thin lined 'perfect' silhouette the shadows and light share
she lies there naked, vulnerable, uncovered and completely unaware
showing me a piece no one will ever get to see
the layers of trust she chooses only to revel to me
as time shifts her eyes will open to the light of day
wishing the moon clung to the night so this moment would stay
how safely she sleeps, peaceful without a care
her hair hides parts of her skin, the rest lays bare
sunlight breaks the definition the darkness won't show
swimming so deep between lust and love but she'll never know
didn't think beauty like this existed or how hard I could fall
I sit here thankful and blessed God chose to make this at all
she moves me, however I don't make a peep
dim sunlight kisses over the curves of her warm skin
I want to describe this moment but don't know where to begin
trace the thin lined 'perfect' silhouette the shadows and light share
she lies there naked, vulnerable, uncovered and completely unaware
showing me a piece no one will ever get to see
the layers of trust she chooses only to revel to me
as time shifts her eyes will open to the light of day
wishing the moon clung to the night so this moment would stay
how safely she sleeps, peaceful without a care
her hair hides parts of her skin, the rest lays bare
sunlight breaks the definition the darkness won't show
swimming so deep between lust and love but she'll never know
didn't think beauty like this existed or how hard I could fall
I sit here thankful and blessed God chose to make this at all
The edge of the bed
she kills me with a touch and with a glance
never have I been so deep in romance
loving her more than I thought I might
far beyond a mile and far out of sight
she filled me with something I've never felt
a mixture of emotions where lust and love melt
her passion it seemed dried and withered away
everyone has said nothing gold can stay
but I fight to fix and repair and withstand
right now I'd give anything just to hold her hand
but here I sit so lonely and left in the rain
eagerly waiting for a coming touch to relieve all this pain
I've failed to see why the passion has fled
I might as well be alone, laying on the edge of my bed
never have I been so deep in romance
loving her more than I thought I might
far beyond a mile and far out of sight
she filled me with something I've never felt
a mixture of emotions where lust and love melt
her passion it seemed dried and withered away
everyone has said nothing gold can stay
but I fight to fix and repair and withstand
right now I'd give anything just to hold her hand
but here I sit so lonely and left in the rain
eagerly waiting for a coming touch to relieve all this pain
I've failed to see why the passion has fled
I might as well be alone, laying on the edge of my bed
Putting it out there
Pushed forward through the depths of despair
saved by friendship.. still lost
alone I journey this pleasurable misery
the women I meet can't fill the void
will I always be this misunderstood
a changed life with every name and face
questioning myself.. my place
found solitude with the alcohol and drugs I use
is it all again something I would choose
spirit lost, life off course
will I ever feel any remorse
is my reputation staind, my integrity lost
by the pain I faced and the price it cost
will anyone ever come along, willing to save a broken man
or will I forever and always be alone to stand
ashamed and alone tormented by lack of recourse
I did everything in my power in the form of discourse
took all the pain & hurt and pushed it away
swallowed it deep inside forever to stay
6 years of memories fled
with all the emotion and hateful words you said
cried a lifetimes worth in a day
dried my soul and had nothing left to say
thought of all the times we had
tried to feel anything but sad
swore to never let anyone else in
left with a lifetimes worth of what could have been
bitter i paved a hateful road
to lead away from the life I chose
finally renewed my strength and confidence
without standing in my shoes none of this will make sense
scared to get thrown back out in the world of dating
my previous life in the distance fading
stuttered stammered and fell like a toddler
convinced myself no woman worth the bother
drunken i flew into her arms, scattered my broken heart across the ground
salvaged as much as i could find and left her without making a sound
tried to rise up in the midst of confusion
but my soul was stuck in evolution
drowned all my sorrows with buckets of beer
drunk behind the wheel and didn't know which way to steer
continued down my broken road
standing in the mirror i saw a douche and a choad
completely reckless and out of control
I learned my place and found my roll
decided to live my life full and complete
instead of surrounded by alcoholics to which I was trying to compete
I started fresh to find the man I want to be
and reflected on my life as far as I could see
saved by friendship.. still lost
alone I journey this pleasurable misery
the women I meet can't fill the void
will I always be this misunderstood
a changed life with every name and face
questioning myself.. my place
found solitude with the alcohol and drugs I use
is it all again something I would choose
spirit lost, life off course
will I ever feel any remorse

Romance
Our eyes meet, time stops, lost in this place
my hands run the length of your body my stare never leaving your face
my eyes search you soul, your life, a curiosity I can barely control
lost in your sheets, all around us the quite night
the moonlight laying over the curves of your body, the only thing that aids my sight
feeling more passion in this moment than ever before
and yet I don't know anything about you or what lay in store
lying there completely vulnerable and naked, we never said a word just an entangled stare
all my thoughts faded for a split second I felt hopeful repair
moments felt like hours... who are you I ask??
I pull you close, my steady rough hands soften for the task
Your beautiful, I'm consumed by lust
I feel like I know you.. I won't break your trust
I pull every inch of your skin against me, your hair wrapped in my clenched grip
you melt in my arms I firmly support your body with my finger tips
sexual driven passion keeps us awake
An exhausted tomorrow won't feel like a mistake
as the moonlight fades to a sunlight stream
I awaken alone and you were just a dream..
my hands run the length of your body my stare never leaving your face
my eyes search you soul, your life, a curiosity I can barely control
lost in your sheets, all around us the quite night
the moonlight laying over the curves of your body, the only thing that aids my sight
feeling more passion in this moment than ever before
and yet I don't know anything about you or what lay in store
lying there completely vulnerable and naked, we never said a word just an entangled stare

I feel like I know you.. I won't break your trust
I pull every inch of your skin against me, your hair wrapped in my clenched grip
you melt in my arms I firmly support your body with my finger tips
sexual driven passion keeps us awake
An exhausted tomorrow won't feel like a mistake
as the moonlight fades to a sunlight stream
I awaken alone and you were just a dream..
Reaching...
Tried to touch the depths of your soul
harder than you'll ever know
chased away, tired to take back what you stole
forgot the pain and broken memories
clinging to my life with no one left to please
there is so much more that you'll never get to see
layers, depth and color deep down inside of me
uninterested to let anyone take a peek
searching for knowledge, still so much left to seek
questioning if I'll ever fully understand
my life's course, my place or my plan
where do I truly fit, lost in my head
no one to point the way, nothing left to be said
can anyone see my beauty, my darkness, my estranged passion
will they take me all in, consume me or look down on me with pity and compassion
curious if anyone shares my depth but afraid to take the chance
left unchanged untouched and alone, lying out in the cold
days fill the void, soon nothing will be able to be saved, salvaged or sold
harder than you'll ever know
chased away, tired to take back what you stole
forgot the pain and broken memories
clinging to my life with no one left to please

days fill the void, soon nothing will be able to be saved, salvaged or sold
My darkness
chased away my angels, tormented by the night
climbed on the wings of the devil, trying to reach new height
rode the midnight train to nowhere
wanting to get out of my head, take me away
the vultures continue to circle overhead
waiting for me to fall, wishing I were dead
screamed shameful thoughts into the darkness
no signs of hope just repress
my broken life lay before me
swept up, discarded wasting away
strung out... numb is the only place I want to stay
climbed on the wings of the devil, trying to reach new height
rode the midnight train to nowhere
wanting to get out of my head, take me away
the vultures continue to circle overhead
waiting for me to fall, wishing I were dead
screamed shameful thoughts into the darkness
no signs of hope just repress
my broken life lay before me
swept up, discarded wasting away
strung out... numb is the only place I want to stay
Saturday
Slipknot Snuff
Bury all your secrets in my skin
Come away with innocence and leave me with my sins
The air around me still feels like a cage
And love is just a camouflage for what resembles rage again
So if you love me let me go
And run away before I know
My heart is just too dark to care
I can't destroy what isn't there
Deliver me into my fate
If I'm alone I cannot hate
I don't deserve to have you
Ooh, my smile was taken long ago
If I can change I hope I never know
I still press your letters to my lips
And cherish them in parts of me that savor every kiss
I couldn't face a life without your lights
But all of that was ripped apart when you refused to fight
So save your breath, I will not care
I think I made it very clear
You couldn't hate enough to love
Is that supposed to be enough?
I only wish you weren't my friend
Then I could hurt you in the end
I never claimed to be a saint
Ooh, my own was banished long ago
It took the death of hope to let you go
So break yourself against my stones
And spit your pity in my soul
You never needed any help
You sold me out to save yourself
And I won't listen to your shame
You ran away, you're all the same
Angels lie to keep control
Ooh, my love was punished long ago
If you still care don't ever let me know
If you still care don't ever let me know
Come away with innocence and leave me with my sins
The air around me still feels like a cage
And love is just a camouflage for what resembles rage again
So if you love me let me go
And run away before I know
My heart is just too dark to care
I can't destroy what isn't there
Deliver me into my fate
If I'm alone I cannot hate
I don't deserve to have you
Ooh, my smile was taken long ago
If I can change I hope I never know
I still press your letters to my lips
And cherish them in parts of me that savor every kiss
I couldn't face a life without your lights
But all of that was ripped apart when you refused to fight
So save your breath, I will not care
I think I made it very clear
You couldn't hate enough to love
Is that supposed to be enough?
I only wish you weren't my friend
Then I could hurt you in the end
I never claimed to be a saint
Ooh, my own was banished long ago
It took the death of hope to let you go
So break yourself against my stones
And spit your pity in my soul
You never needed any help
You sold me out to save yourself
And I won't listen to your shame
You ran away, you're all the same
Angels lie to keep control
Ooh, my love was punished long ago
If you still care don't ever let me know
If you still care don't ever let me know
Friday
We ruined our love in this moment
like fleeting embers from the brightest fire
refusing to fight and salvage our desire
I thought I’d be fine but I was wrong
awake in a daze and listening to every sad song
every word and every line
pierces my soul and hammers my heart
I never thought I’d see the day when we finally fell apart
I try to eat but life lost it’s flavor
my mind lost wandering, thinking of all the moments I savor
to keep it all together I go through the motion
but my ship has sank and I’m drowning in the ocean
with no thought of rescue my heart skips a beat
all I can think, will I have to live like this forever...??
Faking and pretending they’ll be someone I could be happy with together
So I take a chance and sit down to write
it could make all this worse and I could lose this fight
but to me, she is worth it and not like any other
she was my best friend and closer than a brother
I waited my whole life and finally got my chance
To spend the best year of my life in an uncomparable romance
And I’m suppose to just let this go...??
To pretend that I don’t have feelings or god forbid let them show
that is not something I wish or would choose
to waste this away on a fuct night full of booze
I’ll stay strong in love and wait for as long as I can
For the hope or moment when I can kiss you or hold your hand
like fleeting embers from the brightest fire
refusing to fight and salvage our desire
I thought I’d be fine but I was wrong
awake in a daze and listening to every sad song
every word and every line
pierces my soul and hammers my heart
I never thought I’d see the day when we finally fell apart
I try to eat but life lost it’s flavor
my mind lost wandering, thinking of all the moments I savor
to keep it all together I go through the motion
but my ship has sank and I’m drowning in the ocean
with no thought of rescue my heart skips a beat
all I can think, will I have to live like this forever...??
Faking and pretending they’ll be someone I could be happy with together
So I take a chance and sit down to write
it could make all this worse and I could lose this fight
but to me, she is worth it and not like any other

I waited my whole life and finally got my chance
To spend the best year of my life in an uncomparable romance
