Darkness

Twisted slithers of silk,
Spreading out towards you.
As high as stilts,
blocking the view.

A pounding of the heart,
as loud as a beat on a snare drum.
It's only the start,
and you don't know where it came from.

You've heard the stories,
Of monsters under the bed.
Lets delve into the inventories
and listen to the terrors inside one's head.

Is someone behind you?
Or is it something?
Lets leave the fear to brew.
Hold on tight and cling.

How to explain the things,
that go bump?
It's hard to detain the fear,
hard to swallow the lump.

What was it that made that thing fall?
Was it a spirit, demon or clown?
How far can you crawl,
before you fall down?

Do you feel brave enough,
to sleep with one foot out?
Feel the ropes, nice and tough,
slither around and pull you about.

Drowning in darkness,
the whole room starts to tremble.
Your body as still as a carcass.
The fear cannot dissemble.

Fingers snapping.
Hands out reaching.
Arms wrapping.
Thought-provoking.

This small bedroom,
is an expansive black woods.
Fear in full bloom.
So who knows what should,

happen in the strange dark night?
You're stuck in a cage.
The cold metal bars sticking tight,
not caring about your young age.

Within these corridors,
lurk atrocious creatures.
There are no borders.
Now you're among the demons' features.

Shivering from the merciless cold.
It's a dim and dark world.
Children's screams are sold,
all becoming swirled.

A cold penetrating stare,
coming from a doll.
It's sat over there,
sucking your soul.

So close your eyes.
Someday you're going to die.
Death lies.
Death never asks why.

He glides over to you
and buries you in the darkness.
He steals you from everyone you knew.
Your little light fades into blackness.

Now open your eyes once more.
Hear the floorboard creak,
outside the door?
Death is out there, playing hide and seek.

Sweet dreams,
please don't scream.

Break My Fall

You, you are always there for me
You, you always let me be

When I fall you are there
to help me pick up the pieces

when you're around the negativity decreases
you are there to break my fall
even when i feel so small
even when i want to curl up into a ball
You are there to break my fall

Why do you always want to help?
What am i to you?
What do you think when you hear me yelp?
I really do not have a clue

When I fall you are there
to help me pick up the pieces
you show me that you care
you help me clear the air
when you're around the negativity decreases
you are there to break my fall
even when i feel so small
even when i want to curl up into a ball
You are there to break my fall

You catch me every day
you never let me say
anything bad
anything sad
you are like my second dad
I know you will smile when i admit this
you call me your little princess
You call me gorgeous
That adds a little brightness
Thank you, for constantly breaking my fall

When I fall you are there
to help me pick up the pieces
you show me that you care

Test Yourself

How do you know
If you are going to do well
If you do not even try?
It's like getting into a boat without knowing how to row
Your heart may never swell
with the sense of pride

You say you can't do it
I say prove it
Go on and test yourself
you may get a trophy on the shelf
Don't sit around all day
without going it your way
Go out and test yourself
Just go and test yourself

What can i say to make you move your butt?
You look at me and tut
Your confidence is the issue
but the problem is ... it's you

You say you can't do it
I say prove it
Go on and test yourself
you may get a trophy on the shelf
Don't sit around all day
without going it your way
Go out and test yourself
Just go and test yourself

So how can you say
that you cannot do it
every single day
why not try it bit by bit.

You say you can't do it
I say prove it
Go on and test yourself
you may get a trophy on the shelf
Don't sit around all day
without going it your way
Go out and test yourself
Just go and test yourself

Test yourself
test yourself
test yourself
test yourself

Twisted Tears

Stop right there
Your faking skills suck
You really don't care
You're out of luck

You know what really gets me mad?
It's when you pretend to be sad
You think that I will forgive you?
After everything you have done, everything you do
Your twisted tears mean nothing to me
You don't even see
What needs to be done
You call me all the names under the sun
Your twisted tears mean nothing to me.

Why do you feel the need to cry?
Every time I put you in your place
You're such a waste of space
I'm sick of being told to try

You know what really gets me mad?
It's when you pretend to be sad
You think that I will forgive you?
After everything you have done, everything you do
Your twisted tears mean nothing to me
You don't even see
What needs to be done
You call me all the names under the sun
Your twisted tears mean nothing to me.

Don't bother to try and talk

I am only going to walk

I see through you like you're made of glass

Your lies are as thin as a blade of grass

You know what really gets me mad?
It's when you pretend to be sad
You think that I will forgive you?
After everything you have done, everything you do
Your twisted tears mean nothing to me
You don't even see
What needs to be done
You call me all the names under the sun
Your twisted tears mean nothing to me.

You Did Nothing Wrong

Why am i here writing this song?
Why am i chocking back the tears?
Why is it taking me so long?
To stand up to the leers

Why are you sitting there
all alone?
Your heart is about to tear
I think i need to lower the tone.

Because you did nothing wrong
I've known all along
I never meant to cause so much hurt
I never meant to be so curt
I'm a stranger to myself
I've lost all of my stealth
You're sat there wondering
What on earth is going on
Your shattered soul has gone
You did nothing wrong
You did nothing wrong

This is not any ordinary break up song
That would be entirely wrong
I was pushed to do what I did
I was treated like a little kid

It doesn't excuse the way I treated you
I regret it. I really do.
I think you regret it too
The audience is giving me one loud boo.

Because you did nothing wrong
I've known all along
I never meant to cause so much hurt
I never meant to be so curt
I'm a stranger to myself
I've lost all of my stealth
You're sat there wondering
What on earth is going on
Your shattered soul has gone
You did nothing wrong
You did nothing wrong

I'm giving this to you in secret
It's a risk but no threat
I hope this clears your mind
I hope this makes me seem more kind
Let's hope the message doesn't take too long to send
There are rules to bend
To send you this song
So i will hurry it along

Because you did nothing wrong
I've known all along
I never meant to cause so much hurt
I never meant to be so curt
I'm a stranger to myself
I've lost all of my stealth
You're sat there wondering
What on earth is going on
Your shattered soul has gone
You did nothing wrong
You did nothing wrong

Storm

They come and they go
Each one a different show
I can't help but notice
Something that excites me, whats the next twist?

The sky's getting darker and I
don't feel the same
My emotions gets tied up in chains
when it starts to rain

Because this is a storm that is just
unlike the rest
This is a storm that will
quickly progress
And i feel it
I feel it deep in my bones
The worst is yet to come
Don't fear the storm
Don't fear the storm.

As the lightening races across
the darkening sky
I wonder, I wonder why
What is it like to fly?
The thunder's like a beat on a snare drum
The type that makes a kid scream and run

Because this is a storm that is just
unlike the rest
This is a storm that will
quickly progress
And i feel it
I feel it deep in my bones
The worst is yet to come
Don't fear the storm
Don't fear the storm.

The wind is picking up the pace
Like a horse in a race
But if this is the case
The i shall run for cover
I can tell the storm is getting stronger

Because this is a storm that is just
unlike the rest
This is a storm that will
quickly progress
And i feel it
I feel it deep in my bones
The worst is yet to come
Don't fear the storm
Don't fear the storm.

But at the end of the storm
There's a rainbow
That'll make someone's day
Don't fear the storm.
Don't fear the storm.
