You Know My Name

You don't know me, but you know my name
When did this happen, this fall from grace
You see my eyes, my soul disappears
In my disguise I hide years of fears
You can't see me- for who I really am
Your eyes deceive you and you mind condemns
If you don't understand it
How can you love it
If you can't embrace it
How can you appreciate
Time comes slowly
Time comes so slowly
When will I be able to speak again
When will I be able to see me
I can't fathom this disgust I'm in
So how can I blame you to not trust in me
I'm standing in the pouring rain
I'm standing still so no one sees my pain
Smiles and laughter the cowards way out
I smile and I laugh because I'm dying
Slowly, hearing the bell tower toll
Seething in the blistering cold
You don't know me, but you know my name
When did this happen, this fall from grace 

Strangers Now

Past lives seem to haunt me
Making my dreams feel I'm crazy
So many strangers now they've become

What happened to friendships forever
Or was that promise really just shallow
Too many times I've closed my eyes
To ignore the things I've left behind

I'm sorry so please forgive me
I know it's my fault
I know it's all my fault
I'm sorry so please forgive me
I brought this on myself
It was selfish, oh so selfish

I try to place the blame on you
I try to point the finger but it's a mirror I see
So many times my mind explores
What could have been
What should have been
But that's what my nightmares are made of

I'm sorry, so please forgive me
I know it's all my fault
That we're strangers now
