Greedy Me

 

You drive me to fiery

I lose control

You make me hungry

Feed my soul

You give me so much

Enough to light the furnace

But when we touch

We just scratch the surface

So give me what I need

Come on just bleed

You can call it greed

But I have to feed

I scavage every bite

I can get of you

I salvage every second of night

I have tasted with you

Because of you, I'm living

You are what I'm about

I know you keep giving

But I feel you holding out

So give me what I need

Come on just bleed

You can call it greed

But I have to feed

We stoke the furnace

But we are just scratching the surface

So give me what I need

Come on just bleed

You are what I'm about

But I feel you holding out

You can call it greed

But I have to feed

The Forgotten One

The Forgotten One

Put aside

A blank page

Left blank by your hand.

I'm the forgotten one.

The damage has been done.

Put in the sand

Awakened my rage.

Broke inside.

I'm the exiled son;

I'm the forgotten one.

When I thought I would crash

I started to climb out of the ash.

Did you ever hear thunder?

It was probably me going under.

Buried deep

A safe place

Left safe from your love.

I'm the forgotten one.

The damage has been done.

I took the shove

Shovel to the face.

Buried deep.

I'm the exiled son.

I'm the forgotten one.

Now I've made it out.

Now hear me shout.
