The Original T's blog: "The Machinist"

At the heart of this Was a Judas kiss A mark of Cain An innocent slain Excuses empty as your soul The drama taken hold A medicated backlash In bridges of flame and ash

Place your hate on me But I'm not the one that made these scars Take your rage out on me But I'm not the one who chose these bars Break this man I am Cuz I'm the one you bring to slaughter Shake this soul you can Cuz I receive the hellfire you brought here Crucifiction for each and every mistake Bled dry with every moment here after Just a shell of who I was Burnt alive don't close your eyes I want you to see me die I want you to watch the flesh get torn Watch me be reborn

I want you to hate me I want you to kill me Slowly Painful as you can make it be So where do we go from here Scars of former lovers Tender and full of fear Cut me and bleed me dry Open wounds..open eyes Shaken core driven blind Show me your rage..give me your blame Crucify me naked upside down Burning tree left with only your name Place your hate Deep inside It's what I need To know I'm alive Keep me 6 feet under Black eye suprise Empty soul mindless fool This is I

Rage I embrace your reign Ghost unwilling to sleep Hate me like your enemy Demon strike me deep Hallow ressurrected hero Fallen god sent to bleed Pale as the morning mist Last breathe begins to creep Blood on the lips crusted Anguish in each tear I try to keep Clutch tenderly to my scars Holding lovingly as if in need Surrender exit this plain Not going up descention I plead Flames encircle this evil man Burn away hypocracy's seed Harvest hope like salt for the wound Crush faith under broken feet Self control is just an illusion Love is twisted from grief Razor blade sinks in skin so soft Watch as waves roll from my beliefs Spilling crimson and pitch black Written words empty salvation's beat Tomorrow will still come braveless Faceless and pointless shit filled piece

Bruises appear on my chest A hole in my side Deconstruction of my pride I wake from a sleep with no rest Deaf and blind One day closer to the end of my time I give it away freely You take it all less than gently My rusty cage is home now Feeding on shit and cold ground The hurt will never leave the mind Broken on the inside Closets full of bones and riptides Fuel for this fire unkind Jesus sees it all Consuming the weak as they fall I gave it all freely You took all less then gently This rusty cage is my home now Feed me shit and a cold ground Forcing fucked up conversation Breaking helpless salvation Killing grace bludgeon hope Embrace alleluia in a blanket of dope

Can I set your world on fire Can I burn you down I see you in your ivory tower Where your feet won't touch the ground Don't look down..you're much too high Oh won't you...spread your wings to fly Would you rip my heart out I don't need it now Life and death come from your mouth It's too late to choose that now Don't look down..you're much too high Oh won't you...spread your wings to fly What is this mortal language That rolls from the tip of your tongue I am buried beneath this baggage I sense your touch but i'm still numb Don't look down..you're much too high Oh won't you...spread your wings to fly

Some ghosts never die... You burn the house and wonder why And with the morning there comes a light Collect the pieces for another try Some scars help you see How much the past won't let you be And with the morning there comes a pain Cuz with regret there comes a shame Burning alive I'm burning alive Some skeletons never leave The closets full of bones and dreams And with the morning there comes a chill A bed of stone and heart of steel Some lives are lived in fear Chances lost when the vision clears And with the morning there comes a loss Empty bruises and a hallow cross Burning alive I'm burning alive

Did you feel this moment Could you hear the tear These scars are too shallow And i'm too hallow to care Shattered dreams like broken glass The strain you represent Like a carcrash I wait it out You left this soul bruised and bent 20 ways do die in this wreckage I found out the hard way at least a dozen Selfless sacrifice was ur mask Realised too late my mistakes are golden I wanna blow this whole thing to pieces Make you see I'm empty as these words Bracing for an impact that never comes As I turn upside down moments begin to blur Insecurities turn to tragedies gained I lose track of who's scars are which Tattooed memories are forever Self destructive and that's the bitch Losing myself in what you want me to be Never asked you for more than you are Why do I have to make mountains from a grain of sand Walk away now before it goes too far.........

She shines from the inside out Luminous smile lives her life out loud She holds me like a drop of rain In the palm of her hand waiting to seal my fate I lose myself in her morning light She is the sun burning so bright And if you knew her You would feel the same Cuz there is nothing truer Than the way she says....my name She shines from the inside out In her eyes is where my soul is found The words I write fall at her feet A million others walk by but they can't see Like a star in my southern sky She starts my day puts a song in my mind And if you knew her You would feel the same Cuz there is nothing truer Than the way she says....my name I am a captive I am caught in her gaze Can't keep from dreaming both night and day Cuz she shines... She shines

Here I am again waiting for solid ground And here I go again trying not to drown The moment I lost control was the moment you figured me out I never saw the rocks and i never felt the waves Swept overboard with nothing left to save You had me spinning You had me rolling From the beginning Blown wide open You had me floatin' Blown wide open Here I am burnt by the sun yet again Set adrift pointless to try and swim The moment I caught your gaze was the moment I lost my sight The sky went black and the earth was gone Left with nothing more than a small sense of wrong You had me spinning You had me rolling From the beginning Blown wide open You had me floatin' Blown wide open
