 1. In So Many Words
 
 Thoughts cannot express
 the feelings from within
 speaking in illogical phrases
 Rhetoric behind every word
 Fear of a voice being heard
 
 Worlds apart, now driven closer
 togetherness in nonexistence
 Fluent in unintelligble tongues
 In so many words lie pain
 
 Answers to the question why
 became lost upon this mind
 staring into your beautiful eyes
 to see the cold reflected truths of a broken spirit
 
 Forbidden fruit from which beauty befalls
 longing to taste with your flavour
 But with poisons in the tongue
 One cannot bring oneself to feast
 
 Sorrow spread throughout the days
 Distance between causes heartache
 Forbidden Fruit from your limbs
 which I so long to Taste
 
 In so many words, I reveal my soul to you
 
 
 
 
 2. One Man's Demise
 
 Satisfaction, a term not often spoken
 Searching for the better, never please
 Attempts of achieving perfection
 steps turn to obstacles along the path
 
 by means of gratification
 unfortunate mishaps often occur
 the inner conflicts begin to arise
 life the gauntlet, continuous pain
 
 Pointed fingers and sudden glimpses
 Sighting of one man's demise
 Whethered and worn, battered and broken
 As he fights the battle known as existence
 
 Knowledge of nothing but survival
 As he fades to nothingness
 slowly dying by the hours
 His hands the only shovel to dig his grave
 
 Wars won and lost
 Only to further life's cost
 
 
 
 
 3. Drowning Rain
 
 Rain drops fall
 fall from blackened sky
 They drench my soul
 And wash away what used to be
 
 Swimming the seas of pain
 The rain soddens me within
 pouring o'er mine eyes
 Blinding me from what is real
 
 My mind swims
 Yet my soul sinks
 it sinks ever deeper
 Through the seas the rain has made
 
 Currents force me into the abyss
 Pressure compacting my spirits
 Emptiness like the black
 Where I slowly desend
 But the Rain begins to ease
 
 Now the Rain has stopped
 I am washed upon the shore
 My mind ceases the swim
 and my sould will rise once more.
 
 
 
 
 4. Truth Doth Lie
