Thorzeen (via 1995)

 

This tool is my life
Without it I cannot survive
It explains all of me
So also everyone can see
My thoughts and the feeling
But there's fear of revealing
Something terrible inside
Something need I now hide
Red violet blue and pink
Sometimes I can't quite think

 

Swirling sounds and screams
Then pulled between two teams
Blurry and in 360's
Pins and pain of bees
Zig-zag of sweat that's louder
From the inner to the outer
Vicious snarls and growls
Looseness of bowls
It was then it came...
The needle makes me sane

 

 

Torn Innocence (via 1995)

 

My innocence was torn from me
It is something need you believe
I know not of virginity
There is no peace come you to me
I've known no knowledge of privacy
I experience no ecstasy
The life corrupted you can't see
Because innocence was torn from me

 

 

Torn Innocence II (via 2001)

 

Stripped is the very core of my being
Just as autumn leaves, their beauty deceiving
Torn innocence, hollow contentment, grieving
This isn't me you're perceiving or seeing
However the display of emotion you're receiving
Is true, the push and pull, giving and retrieving
Losing faith in all we are into believing
A devil inside of what is conceiving
