interpreting the nightmare

the devil devouring the damned Nature is our chapel Look beyond our pain, recognize our wrongs, and work towards correcting our mistakes Old guilt can poison a new life Forced to examine his life We cannot control tragedies Is punishing yourself worth the pain Life sentence of hatred Sometimes we can not make amends for our past mistakes Many of us do believe in corny old things like Truth Justice and the American Way Waging a civil war inside your head Do you believe in honesty and tell lies When temptation is staring us in the face we usually take the path to immediate pleasure Balance competing values Black lies Ask for strength and forgiveness He decided to put the problem in Gods hands Doomed to suffer because of one moment of weakness Surely God would punish him for his crime I wasn't a liar anymore She knew shed get caught sooner or later Take the consequences Self honesty will give you a clear perspective Visualizing all the consequences bound to happen when he or she gets caught Battery acid of the soul Shed been in limbo for months waiting for something to happen No longer looking for evidence Do we choose ordinary happiness? By objective standards she is a success Looking for a way to be comatose without being blamed for it Everyday has its own brand of crap you've got to eat Even presidents have lust in their hearts Our mental vision of ourselves Our perspective on life that sets the tone for our existanceLive in a habitat of gloom The mind is its own place and in itself can make a heaven of hell a hell of heaven Vanity of vanities saith the Preacher All is vanity Went to battle supported by a God-saturated mind Advised praying going to church and reading the bible Do the thing you fear and death of fear is certain Few people could bear his gloomy outlook on the world The way to dusty death It is a tale told by an idiot signifying nothing Find better ways to increase the likelyhood of success Excuse strategy for failure Others found only fools gold You're not giving up sometime of value Hotwired on coke and mellowed on champagne A memoir of illusionSelf imposed troubles We would be less depressed if we took better care of ourselves Some sweet oblivious antidote Self medication providing momentary relief from confusioon and woe The search for highs begins as a flight from lows Better do to no end than nothing Spend long hours in a darkened room huddled under bedding that hasn't been washed Deny my growing wish for death Naturally Cause that's what they were told to do Someday I won't be sick Let's burn together And I don't want to live this life just give me bad news so I can keep on drinking Burnout is associated with higher cortisol levels Hunt for pleasure In a mad world only the mad are sane motivated more by a fear of failure When you try very hard you look a mess Please accept my honesty
