			<title>You Can't Kill The Me In You</title>
			<description>You think you are nothing like me,Soon you'll realize this is who you're meant to be.I run through your veins like blood,No can change that, not even God.I'll spread through your body like a disease,Your malicious soul will be fully released.In the end, everyone has a dark side,And in ..</description>

			<title>No Regrets </title>
			<description>I have had my share of mistakes,But my judgement isn't yours to make.I have lived my life the best I can,There are some things you'll never understand.You say in the future, I'll wish the past away,But without it all, who would I be today?Condemn me for who I am inside,Just don't expec..</description>

			<title>I Am</title>
			<description>I am everything you have ever feared,I am the chilling whispers that you hear.I am the haunting thoughts in your head,I am the bloodthirsty monster under your bed.I am the sinister demon in your nightmares,I am the disfigured creature under your stairs.I am the vicious shadow inside your..</description>

			<title>Masquerade </title>
			<description>Every morning, I disguise myself with this mask,endlessly lying to the world is my daily task.It's no challenge to fool them all,they calmly watch as I fall.No one will save me from this nightmare,it's easy to trick people who don't care.I try to keep myself together,but I know I'll never get better..</description>

			<title>I Am Human</title>
			<description>Why is it that I'm not allowed to listen to my heart?every moment of pretending I'm fine rips me apart.Would it make you feel better if I continue living this lie?each passing day, my misery becomes harder to deny.I have no right to shed a single tear,all emotions but happiness are expected to disap..</description>

			<title>Out Of Control</title>

			<title>All I'm Good For</title>
			<description>All I'm good for is a degrading f**k,take advantage, just remember to lock.All I'm good for is enduring your yells,keep going, incarcerate me in your cell.All I'm good for is being abandoned,please just leave me stranded.All I'm good for is a few hits,continue treating me like s**t.All I'm good for ..</description>

			<title>Sorrow</title>

			<title>In My Nature</title>
			<description>I can't afford to let down my guard,getting close to someone is too hard.I can't reopen the window shielding my tattered heart,I've learned no to repeat the mistakes that tore me apart.It's in my nature not to give out my trust again,I know I will be abandoned in the end.It's easier to be on my own,..</description>

			<title>Flirt With Suicide</title>
			<description>Stricken with misery, I dig a razor into my skin,then a burst of soothing relief rushes in.Finding rapture, captivated as crimson blood drips,having lost myself, I can't get a steady grip.Locked in a trance, I press piercing razor too deep,coping with grief, I'd rather bleed out than weep.The blade,..</description>

			<description>Lost in all the regret,never able to forget.Lost in all the guilt,hiding behind the wall of solitude I've built.Lost in all the shame,evil does have a name.Trying to comfort myself with lies,but the truth, I cannot deny.Loathe, rage, and embarrassment,looking into a mirror, I see who I resent.The op..</description>

			<title>Why Do I Do This To Myself?</title>
			<description>Why do I torture myself like this?the result is always a scar to my wrist.Why do I hurt myself so well?turning my paradise into hell.Why do I cause my heart to become sore?I thought I've learned my lesson before.Why do I always wear out my trust?my confidence has been crushed to dust.Why do I bring ..</description>

			<title>Fear</title>

			<title>She Never Told</title>
			<description>Purple bruises embellish her once angelic and soft face,with her boyfriend, no one knew about the horror that took place.Each week, she comes up with a new story to conceal the truth,and regrettably, everyone believed, they didn't have a clue.Even after the painful beatings and fractured bones, she ..</description>

			<title>Like You</title>
