I grew up in a old, run-down coal mining town

It was nicknamed the dust bin of the East

The sun never shined. We all had permanent frowns

Something was missing. Nobody felt complete

Years went by through the dark and the grey

Nothing ever changed, to all of our dismay

But then something happened, my tears began to run

As light shined upon my skin, a small gift from the sun...

If desires are a flame, then I am a wildfire

Ravaging across the lush greens

My heart burning, passionate with desire

I’m addicted. A sick, twisted, love fiend...

My friend was showing me all of their mementos

From their travels across the world

But then something seemed strange to me

Something that made me nauseous. Nearly hurl

Amongst the keychains, the snowglobes and postcards

There was a bloody ear, accompanied by glass shards

We locked eyes before I bolted to the door

But he beat me to it, it shook me to my core...

I must admit…I have something to confess.

It’s been agonizing. I need to get it off my chest.

But it will cause quite a stir, quite possibly a mess.

Do you know what’s coming? Do you have a guess?...

I prayed this was one of my smaller mistakes

A blip in my fuck-up of a life

But after all I’ve messed up on, this takes the cake

My eyes finally blinked as I removed the knife...

There’s nothing better than an ice cold pint

At the bar of my favorite pub

There was an odd feeling in the air, something wasn’t right

Maybe I’m off….maybe I just need some grub

I walk right in as I’m greeted by name

I swear there’s no place better, nowhere that’s the same

I shout out “I’ll take my usual!” as I head to the men’s room

As I walk through the mirage of scents, cigarettes and perfume...

Trust. A double-edged sword

Which will come? Beauty or harm?

You must go in blind...

I don’t want to stick out

Like a weed in a field of wildflowers

It makes me want to scream. It makes me want to shout

An absence of power. Leaving me feeling like a coward

I want to thrive and reach towards the sun

I don’t want to be a weed anymore, in fact far from one

But at the end of the day when all is said and done

I still am just a weed, amongst wildflowers, that’s how it ends, that’s how ...

In the semi-darkness, the pebbles looked like coffee beans

As the waves came thundering down on the shore

There was a slight fog hanging, it was an eerie scene

As the waves began to grow more and more

The winds picked up steam

This was no dream

This is much worse than it seems

As the waves began to destory the pier’s wooden beems...

A forbidden love

Straight from the heavens above

But we could not resist

That is true I insist

A glimpse at each others soul

When we locked eyes

Supressing these feelings has taken a toll

As I keep telling myself lies

This was never my plan

I hope that you can understand

This is where a new story began

As we took each others hand...
