Masquerade

I crossed a path from white to black
Searched until the Grave at last
Death brought me here
But even still...

I'm trying to find someone to love
Someone to hold my hand
Someone to trust
Someone to give a damn.

But as far as I can see
In the City of Angels
there's only devils chasing me
Try just as we may
The deck's stacked against us
But that's the game we play.

As a ghost, I hope you know 
That I hope you find someone to love
Someone to hold your hand 
Someone to trust
Someone to give a damn

But I forgot my dying plea
Hell, I've forgotten how to breathe (lol)
and it's too late for S.O.S.
The Dark is drawing near
The Dark, it draws me in.

So listen up.
Find someone to love
before it's too late
and your time is up.

The Dark - Live @ Murder On Tape Audio

Hey.
I'm all alone.
Can I come in from the cold
and warm my hands by your fire?
But don't be confused.
I got nothing to lose
except the chance I have tonight.
It's a chance I won't deny.

But the triangles are killing me
They won't let me sleep
They won't let dream
So just hold me tight
Don't let me go away alone tonight.
Don't let me go away alone tonight.

Even though I am nothing more than a ghost
I want nothing more than to know
You'd let me hold your hand tight if I was alive
I would spend all of my nights
Tryin to make you feel the way you mad me feel inside
It's the way I feel tonight

Because the triangles are killing me
They won't let me sleep
They won't let dream
So just hold me tight
Don't let me go away alone tonight.
Don't let me go away alone tonight.
Don't let me go away alone tonight.

Triangles - Live @ Murder On Tape Audio

Care  to dance?
Hypnotic lights and sounds have left me in a trance.
I need a chance
To shed this lie and show inside
Leave this mask I wear behind.

I see everything in this little world though my disguise.
I'll be anything that I wanna be.
Just don't look in my eyes.

Pain within.
I long to be set free from this prison that I am in.
Will it end?
This daunting pain. 
These taunting chains.
I'm about to go insane.

I see everything in this little world though my disguise.
I'll be anything that you want me to be.
Just don't look in my eyes.

Care to dance?
I need a chance.
Pain within.
Will it end?

I'm constantly writing. Most of it I keep private until it's "ready" for the masses. But who knows when that will be? Check out my seed in the dirt while it's still just a seed in the dirt. One day when we eat it's fruit and enjoy it's shade we can look back. You can't steal it but you can help me finish writing it if you want.

Piano tunes in between piano tuning.
