They killed the man,
But not his art.
He played the fool,
He played his part.

They brushed away,
The stories, that he told.
The tickets, on the counter,
Never got sold.

We had longed for attention,
Demanded, our deserved fame.
Oh Jhonny,
We're just the same.

I bought the books,
That once you sold.
All for a music, to which,
You gave your soul.

All alone in a room,
Which was once full of life.
I then shed a tear,
When you just said goodbye.

We laughed, we smiled,
Forever, did we hide our pain.
Oh Johnny, in the end
We're just the same.

The Joker
-----------------
Bitter tastes,
Bitter truths.
I came to know
About me and you.

All the world's
A broken place,
Kisses sweet,
But big mistakes.

Rivers filled,
With guilt and shame,
I tried my best,
But lost the game.

Left at the alter,
(Was a looser's gain)
There are no tears,
But there is a pain

-

You're amongst the stars,
As you smiled,
In my restless nights.

What is it that you hide?
Shrouded in your mask,
As I quietly breathed a sigh...

-

I tried,
I really tried,
To hate, to forget, to deny,
To get over,
But I could only,
Go ahead with my life...

Now my dreams,
Are the mistresses of my heart.
They make a beat,
To march on, to it's own drum
Towards my destiny...

-

Empty Nights
------------
The streets were empty,
But tears fill my heart.
As night approaches the city,
Slowly my journey starts.

There's terror out here,
Every door's been shut.
The Lonely hours creep on my senses,
And I could sense a pain in my gut.

Cigarette ashes and silent cold air,
Fills the empty spaces in my mind.
Cutting my flesh in million pieces,
And in them there's a pleasure I find.

Death tails me around like a friend,
In every turn that I chose to take.
It slowly seduces my soul,
With the decisions I make...

-

Walk Away
-------------------
We burned in our rage,
We missed our last dance.
But as you passed through,
Why did you steal a glance?

We ripped a part of our selves,
Will we never know where we are?
Yet quietly at night I cry out your name,
You fooled me enough to drive me far...

We missed the best parts,
Of what the future beholds.
Yet you walked away,
Leaving me with the lies you told...

Now I try hard to numb myself,
From advices by a chosen few.
I'll change my ways in this world,
Cheers! To something new...

-

When The Lights Go Dim
--------------
Standing in front, of that old theatre hall,
Where once we made out, in the fall.
But all that is left, are the broken seats,
They haunt me now, in my fantasies...

The Cigarette stub, has your lipstick on,
The movie played, our favourite song.
Then the curtains, came to a close,
I couldn't find, an end to my prose...

Then fear came, just creeping by,
Leaving me, inside a pool of lies.
So I hugged a knife, with my back,
It's broken here, so cut me some slack...

I hear voices, down in my head,
You scarred me deep, so I bled.
Now there's a pain, left un-said,
You'll never see, the tears I shed...

-

Poverty
------------
Can't afford a bus now,
So I just walk on my own.
There's a silent battle ground,
It's a place I call home...

Can't look like a movie anymore,
Cause I act like a flop show.
Yet I can't express my rage,
Cause no one can ever know...

Can't sound like music,
Because my voice seems dry.
And that's the way I end my words,
I can't even say goodbye...

Can't afford to see myself,
As I don't know how to look good.
I try so hard to break my limits,
But it's just rocks against a wood...

-

The Last Train
-----------
I'm sitting inside a subway,
Still crying in my heart.
Cause once in my life,
I loved you so...

The trains come and leave,
But I wait in my grief,
That I'll see you coming down,
Oh you never know...

And I regret,
For all the wrongs that I did.
And I cannot forget,
The words that we pledged.
It was your affections,
That once helped me to grow...

Now the lights are getting dimmer,
And the station master calls,
The last train has passed,
It's time, and I must go...

And then I hear you took a bus,
With a friend you don't know enough,
His eyes have deceit,
And it very much shows...

And everyday,
It's like a war down in my head.
And I hug the souvenirs,
Of the memories we made.
I was so foolish,
It was hard for me to know...

-

The Gap
--------------
For me it was pure love,
For you it was some shit.
The two odds in a game,
That never seem to fit.

The music we played,
In my mind they still live on.
But one day my heart skipped a beat,
When I saw you skipping our song.

Now I wonder whether it was love,
Or whether it was plain regret.
You still creep around in my heart,
And I cannot just forget...

And all these memories,
Lived in a part of my heart.
But your cold shoulder,
Just ripped my soul apart.

So I try to kill you off,
Somewhere deep in my mind.
So I try to run away,
Somewhere you can never find.

Now you came along and say,
That I never really cared.
If you could only see,
The fire inside me that once flared...
