Stand Still

Stand still Because the force of wind Will go around you And you will see How powerful You truly are.   Sometimes I want you To come to me Regardless of my mood Or what I have said, Gently take my hand into yours Look me in the eyes And tell me You aren't going...

Been You Before

I have been you; A lost child Unwanted Uncared for Unkempt Trying so hard To make someone Anyone Love you.   I have been you; A lost teenager Not sure where to go Or what to do with your life When you were told most of it How terrible you were What a mistake you...

From the Storm Within

Shaping what was left of our future We stand as if granite Unwilling to sacrifice what we know To what the world believes. Silence is Satan's strength So we stand on the top of the mountain Shouting every crime ever put upon us With no fear No judgement No regret. The power Satan has over...

You Should Close Your Eyes For This

For You
