Her Mirrors Smashed And The Carpets Stained So Why Doesn't She Clear It Up?

Cut me to ribbons and
Take a proper look around
You know I’m just another step
From having another break down

Take out the knife and
Bring it down once more
Can you not even see
What life has got in store?

The blood mixes with tears
And the heart stops its beat
The rain falls down in torrents
And splatters on the street.
The blood mixes with the rain
And the clouds look down and sigh
The body laid on the pavement
Had no real excuse to cry

Why did she go and end it?
Why didn’t she wait another day?
Why wouldn’t she listen to,
Everything people had to say?

Its late at night and
The clock strikes death
The chimes fill the streets
And she takes her last breath.

The world melts away and
She crumples on the stone
The rain mixes in her hair
And another life is gone.

The blood mixes with tears
And the heart stops its beat
The rain falls down in torrents
And splatters on the street.
The blood mixes with the rain
And the clouds look down and sigh
The body laid on the pavement
Had no real excuse to cry.

Why did she go and end it?
Why didn’t she wait another day?
Why wouldn’t she listen to,
Everything people had to say?

She only had one thing on her mind
And the one thing was him
The vision of perfect atmosphere
The vision of such intense sin

He smiled at her and welcomed her
But when it came to the kill
He dropped her and he broke her
And now she’s lost the will.

As her blood mixes with her tears
And her heart stops its beat
The rain falls down in torrents
And splatters on the street.
Her blood mixes with the rain
And her looks down and laughs
The body laid on the pavement
Was so modest and simply daft

He’s why she went and ended it?
He’s why this was her last day?
He’s why she wouldn’t listen to
Everything people had to say.

This Hole In My Chest Doesn't Seem To Be Closing, Maybe I Should Give Up And Die? (Written for a friend.. obviously)

Ever stumbled off the path,
And got lost in the darkness?
Ever found yourself so lost
That you can’t find your way?

Ever loved someone so bad,
That you’d give up anything to help them?
Ever needed someone so much,
You’d walk a million miles to hear their say?

I once had that someone
I could turn to when times were bad
But then it all got bloody
And now I just think I’m mad
I helped her through all her problems
And I thought she’d help with mine
But I guess I was hoping too high
I guess I was wasting my time.

I sometimes wish that
I’d tried just that little harder
To hold on tighter to her
But I guess it wasn’t to be.

I cared way too much,
And apparently helped too little
She decided she’d had enough
But where does that leave me?

I once had that someone
I could turn to when times were bad
But then it all got bloody
And now I just think I’m mad
I helped her through all her problems
And I thought she’d help with mine
But I guess I was hoping too high
I guess I was wasting my time.

If she is hearing this song
I want her to know that I miss her
I want her to know that I need her
To make it through today

I need her to want me to be around
To help her when she’s down
I need her to see how much she means to me
Or I’ll just die and wilt away

I need to have that someone
I can turn to when times are bad
I don’t want it all to get bloody
And I know you think I’m mad
Someone I can help through their problems
And who will then help me with mine
But I guess I’m hoping too high
I guess I’m just wasting my time.

In My Experience, Its Better To Run Than To Hide (Ballad of a Broken Soldier)

Darkness fills the street
The lamps blow out again
You never know what you may see

In the dark without a friend

A lonely boy he stands
Beneath the sparkling stars
Thinking of a way
He can cover up his scars


He looks down at the pavement
Surrounded by a thousand red shards
The gaping hole in his chest
Reveals his missing broken heart


Hes been defeated and cheated,
Oh, ever so wrongly treated.
He was perversed and cursed
She left him for the worse
She left him for the worse


A broken heart in a starlit daze
A forgotten soldier in a heartless craze
Take my hand, little soldier
Stand beside me in the fight
Take my hand, little soldier
And it’ll all be all right.

It’ll all be all right

He really needs someone
An angel in the night
To guide him through the darkness

And take him to the light.

He needs to start believing
The world will turn around
But to him it’s always turning
Not sure wheres up and down


The stars become the floor
And the pavement is the sky
If he were to run along this street
He’d basically be flying


Hes been defeated and cheated,
Oh, ever so wrongly treated.
He was perversed and cursed
She left him for the worse
She left him for the worse


A broken heart in a starlit daze
A forgotten soldier in a heartless craze
Take my hand, little soldier
Stand beside me in the fight
Take my hand, little soldier
And it’ll all be all right.
It’ll all be all right.


He knows he can trust me,
I swear to him that is true.
It’s me that he can come to
If he can’t make it through


No one hurts this broken soldier
For as long as I will live
No one else will break him
While he’s got something left to give.


A broken heart in a starlit daze
A forgotten soldier in a heartless craze
Take my hand, little soldier
I’ll guide you to the light
I’ll polish off your armour
And you shall be a knight,
Oh yes you shall be knight.

Never Leave (For My Boyfriend)

Trying to find the right words
To describe what I feel for you
You're so perfect in every way
Its too good to be true.

Though it is and you are
My bright and shining star
Stay with me at night
Be my source of inspiring light.
& never leave me.
No, never leave me

Talking to you on the phone
Makes my heart beat a little too fast
I'm gunna do everything I can
To make this last.

Cos you're the best by far
My bright and shining star
Stay with me at night
Be my source of inspiring light.
& never leave me.
No, never leave me

Never in any love life,
Did i expect to feel like this
Its amazing
You saved me
From myself & everyone else.

Don't leave me
Please don't ever go.

Your smile lights up the darkness
That beats inside my head.
Your voice, it breaks the silence,
That fills my heart with dread.


Cos you're the best by far
My bright and shining star
Stay with me tonight
Be my source of inspiring light.
& never leave me.
No, never leave me

You'd Better Stop This Beat Before The Floor Falls In And We All Get Buried Beneath The Rubble

There's this girl I've recently gotten to know
Her heads floating a million miles from home
She walks on the ground but her heads in the clouds
Can't feel anyone for miles around.

Shes kinda pretty in a surreal way
But don't go near cos she'll make you dismay
Shes nice but shes nasty, a right piece of work
She'll give you a smile, or she'll give you a smirk

But i know one thing thats one hundred percent for sure
She'd better work it out before she hits the floor.

She'd better sort out her fickle heart
Cos one day she'll fall fast and she'll fall hard
She'll shatter and break completely apart
And she won't be able to fix herself this time.
No no.
She'd better sort out her fickle heart
Cos one day she'll fall fast and she'll fall hard
She'll shatter and break completely apart
And she won't be able to fix herself this time.
No no.
Not this time.

All the guys follow her in the street,
Desperate to get between her sheets.
She leads them on, gets them fawning,
Then breaks there heart without a warning.

She watches as they crumble down at her feet,
She laughs as she watches their broken hearts bleed.
Then, she looks down at them and says many words unspoken,
Then walks away, leaving yet another victim broken.


I know one thing thats one hundred percent for certain
She'd better sort it out before she sees the black curtain.

She'd better sort out her fickle heart
Cos one day she'll fall fast and she'll fall hard
She'll shatter and break completely apart
And she won't be able to fix herself this time.
No no.
She'd better sort out her fickle heart
Cos one day she'll fall fast and she'll fall hard
She'll shatter and break completely apart
And she won't be able to fix herself this time.
No no.
Not this time.

Theres about a hundred guys she wants to date
But they're not strong enough to take the weight.
She'll get sick of them in a short time anyway,
Letting her heart once again go astray.

She'll move along her well trodden path of destruction
Needing a guy who loves her just to function.
She thrives upon the suffering that she inflicts,
Just waiting for another guy to become transfixed.

Shes a spider just weaving a web
Ha, a total web of lies
I just wish soon she'll get caught up
Like these guys she treats like flies.
Shes a slut and a whore
Always in persuit of more
And I'm pretty sure
She'll come crashing down on of these days.
Oh I really wish she'd come crashing down one of these days.

Before she sorts out her fickle heart
Cos one of these days she'll fall fast and she'll fall hard
She'll shatter and break completely apart
And she won't be able to fix herself this time.
No no.
She'll never sort out her fickle heart
And one day she'll fall fast and she'll fall hard
She'll shatter and break completely apart
And she won't be able to fix herself this time.
No no.
Not this time.

Not. This. Time.

Lavada (For My Best Friend. Lavada Means My Dear Friend)

My phone vibrates,
Another text from you,
Saying how your life is sh*t,
And you can’t make it through.

I sigh and get comfy,
Damn, here we go again
I try so hard to convince you,
Not to split a vein.

You shake your head,
And stamp your feet,
Can’t wait for death,
Can’t wait to cheat.

So basically,
Lavada,
Each day it gets harder,
Just to talk to you
To make a break through
And make life seem all right again.
To bring the sunshine
And light up your skies
And spread through your window
And dry the tears in your eyes.

Please slap on a smile and wipe away that frown,
Cos babe your turning my life upside down,
You should count your blessings,
I know I count you twice,
And you should be grateful
You’re escaping fates dice.

I manage to put it off
For at least another day
But I know that it’s never the end
And you’ve got plenty more to say

Next day, sure enough,
Another text from you,
‘I’m gunna end it tonight,
Theres nothing you can do’

So I beg and I plead,
I try to make you see,
That your life is worth living,
You just have to agree.

And basically,
Lavada,
Each day it gets harder,
Just to talk to you
To make a break through
And make life seem all right again.
To bring the sunshine
And light up your skies
And spread through your window
And dry the tears in your eyes.

Please slap on a smile and wipe away that frown,
Cos babe your turning my life upside down,
You should count your blessings,
I know I count you twice,
And you should be grateful
You’re escaping fates dice.

I love you to pieces,
And babe I always will,
But you break my heart a little,
With every new cut or pill.

You need to stop seeing,
The world in that dark light,
Everyone’s life would be easier,
If you refused to fight.

The world is your home,
And this life is your very own.
So back off, calm down,
Watch yourself grow.

See, when you do,
Lavada,
Every day will get harder,
But you need to persue,
To make a break through
And make life seem all right again.
To bring the sunshine
And light up your skies
And spread through your window
And dry the tears in your eyes.

So slap on a smile and wipe away that frown,
Cos babe your turning your life upside down,
Go on and count your blessings,
I know I count you twice,
And you should stop screaming enough
To take my advice
