Liar

Walking amongst you, doesn't mean I'm here,
You can't see my face beneath the masks I wear;
Lost in darkness, I'm light years away from you,
Where even voices, can't find their way through...

Burning bridges above the water...
But it spins on- this world of slaughter!
Blood shed, and yet this pain-
Won't GO! It's drivin' me insane...

Laughs & shrieks fillin' my ears,
Eyes reflecting wasted years...
Shattered dreams, you can't realise-
Don't sympathise, it's in your eyes...

Why can't you see this ebbing fire??
All my life, I've been a bloody liar!

Blurred visions, of a not so distant past
I tried runnin', but they're catchin' up fast
I tried escapin', n i managed to get only so far
I realise I'm fightin', for an already lost cause...

N as they engulf me, I take my last breath of air
Coz all I'm seein' near me, is my own soul laid bare
Stripped to shreds by hounds, in an open grave
Wherein I lie dyin', as just another slave...

City Of Devils

Crawling from day towards night
Trudging on with morose lives
The hell on earth that it is
In this city of devils we live...

And in the shadows of cigarette smoke-
Strangers in empty alleys lurk;
Waiting, hoping, for their prey to come by
Their mad hunger- by which to satisfy...

Fears that Men carry within their souls
Magnified tenfold, by its haunted ghouls...
So unlike birth that it is
In this city of devils we live...

Papers do not bleed when cut,
And papers never heal...
We stamp all over them and yet,
Any pain they do not feel...
In some ways I'm a paper too,
My life's the same ordeal...
One side used and thrown away,
And so my fate is sealed...

Bound in my veins it flowed till yet,
Now free to flow forth...
The love I had and hatred that replaced it since-
Along my blood, that stains the world...

And had 'The End' come to take away;
Me, my spirit, the essence and soul...
And in its wake, bring-
a last breath of life;
It'd have found no such things to steal...

How do you satisfy the need to be needless?
How do you think when the mind's "full of thoughts"?
How do you know that you don't know about something?
How do you live when there's no "room to breathe"?
How do you love even after having "lost your heart"?
How do you answer unanswerable questions??...
Like the ones I just asked you...

Ever felt the need...
To be deaf to hear the music?
To see the path by blinding your eyes?

Ever felt the need...
To get away from life to stay alive?

Having Read Shakespeare

I'm not here, I have lost myself
This is not me, I'm somewhere else
In a place where I do not strive
Lost, but to be found, in plain sight
Lost to all sensation to rest of the world,
For all its worth, what have I to learn?
And on what, I ask, shall I live to dwell
For having wrong'd you; I wrong'd myself...

"If love be blind, love cannot hit its mark
If lover be wise, he not love'd from the start"

Kill Me If You Must...

Kill me if you must..
Drive your sword through my heart
That bloody sword, reeks of past murders-
Spells the way, this world, I am to depart...

Kill me if you must..
Hang me at your king's side
Witnessed it has, many a killing
A muffled shriek, a cry of pride...

Kill me if you must..
Bequeath me the vial of poison you conceal
Wherein I mix my own tears and drink;
to death, the pact, I seal...

Kill me if you must..
WIth flesh burnt and torn apart,
But don't leave me now, to die-
With your words searing my heart...

I Stand Alone...

I don’t know whether I'm right or not...
Sometimes I have nothing; sometimes I have a lot...
Is there any truth in all that I have got?
Betrays and regrets, countless to jot...

I stand alone frozen and cold...
Everyone will understand as the story will unfold...
Everything will be clear which had never been told...
What you think is a waste, can turn into gold...

The choices I get are all the same...
I’m stuck in this complicated game...
I know I’m the one to accept the blame...
Even if I don’t, I don’t have any other name...

I don’t remember; the time is running too fast...
I wish I cud fill the emptiness of my past...
I still stand alone, dead and aghast...
Waiting to know when all this will last...
