Trapped here in a dream
Slipped beneath the seams
Existence like steam
All I can, it seems
Only a figment
The world you invent
And so I lament

If you died
In your sleep
I would live
Forever
If you died
In your sleep
I would leave
You never

HATE WORLD

You lie you cheat you steal you kill
You suck blood til youve had your fill
You cant see yourself in the mirror
Just your nostrils getting nearer
Victor plays the victim again
Knife in the back of all your friends
You eat each other for the taste
Redefining human waste
Sometimes life can be like swimming through sewage without a snorkel
Youd die if truth passed through your lips
You kill what should pass through your hips
You bathe in blood but lose your youth
You killed the fairy for a tooth
You put poison in the well
You burn the earth to make it hell
You paint your face up like a clown
The circus tent comes crashing down
Anger and frustration manifest themselves physically as a thick slime that surrounds the brain within my skull seeping into every crack crevice and fold within my mind clouding my thoughts with its impenetrable ooze

The World is a Mirror

My thoughts are reflected
In everything I see
My headspace is projected
Onto the world around me
I live inside my head
My problems my inventions
And if the world turns red
It's only an extension
No one has ever hurt me
Only I can hurt me
The only pain I feel
I gave to myself
I can't be hurt
By somebody else
And all the world's colors
Are of my design
Artificial amplifiers
Of what's inside my mind
And I hate what's outside
Because of what's inside
Nowhere that I can hide
Myself I'll always find
No one has ever hurt me
Only I can hurt me
The only pain I feel
I gave to myself
I can't be hurt
By somebody else
Everyone
Wants everything
To be anything
Except for what it is

A Principled Man

I wouldn't do those things
No sir, not me
That's downright disgusting!
Couldn't be me
I've got my principles
Yes sir, I do
Not like the animals
That much is true
I wouldn't roll in the mud
Where'd these stains come from?
I wouldn't drink a man's blood
Where'd this taste come from?
I wouldn't talk that talk
What was that noise just now?
I wouldn't walk that walk
That much I can't allow
I'm a principled man
Yes sir I am
I do the things I'd never do
Like the man I really am
I wouldn't do those things
No sir, not me
That's downright disgusting!
Couldn't be me
I'm a principled man
Yes sir I am
I do the things I'd never do
Like the man I really am

There's something missing
Inside your heart
You sense in me
The missing part
Like a moth to flame
My light inside
You didn't realize
What you wanted to find
You won't accept it
You refuse the light
You hate the shadows
Caused by its bright
You need what I have
But you'd rather destroy
Crush my strength
Replace my joy
You don't believe in God
You don't believe in love
You don't believe in anything
That comes from above
You only want lust
You don't want to grow
Your only concern
Is what's here below
Teeth in my neck
Sucking like a drain
My faith my life
Flowing through my veins
I could put light
In you instead
But you'd rather take mine
Til your belly's fed
You want my worst
Bring out the beast
Eat away the good in me
Unholy feast
Darkness over light
Wrong over right
Blind over sight
If I give in it might
You don't believe in God
You don't believe in love
You don't believe in anything
That comes from above
You only want lust
You don't want to grow
Your only concern
Is what's here below

It's taken me this long to realize
I'm not in your dream, you're in mine
I let you stay here in my mind
I let this dream of you waste my time
If I died
In my sleep
You would live
Forever
If I died
In my sleep
You would leave
Me never

I counted the days until November
You didn't need my help to stay alive
So many events I misremember
Building fictional timelines I contrive
I was worried all throughout the Fall
I believed I could save you if I tried
I was of no consequence at all
You didn't need or want what I supplied
Can a prayer be wasted?
Can a prayer be wasted?
If a prayer can be wasted
Then I wasted it on you
Can a prayer be wasted?
Can a prayer be wasted?
A prayer cannot be wasted
I just want to put the blame on you

You're not the first I've brought here
There were many in the past
But I'm hoping, God willing
That you might be the last
I'll admit that all of my selfishness was selfish
And I hate to say it, but I liked you more when you were helpless
I only sin the most cowardly sins
I can't even tell whose dream I'm in
I hardly ever dream when I'm asleep
Because my daydreams are already too deep
Forgive me honey but when you're this naive
Sometimes you choke cause you forget to breathe
How long can I let you live in my head
You torture me with words you've never said
I loved you for who you never were
Now I hate you for the truth I ignored
I loved you for the things you never did
I made you up cause I was lonely and bored
In my mind I've got a cloning machine
I've got a copy of you in my dream
It replicates you as you seem
It builds only the you I've seen
But what I've seen is not the truth
And I don't think I can blame it on my youth
I've got no more excuses
This machine's run out of uses
How long can I let you live in my head
You torture me with words you've never said
I've got to focus on what's real instead
It's done, it's time for this dream to be dead
