Dedicated to Rick Tankersley aka. "the cockroach" who was always around when the lights where off with all sorts of fake intentions but always managed to run from friendship and honesty when the lights went back on

You Have No Power Here

I write this on paper rather than tell you from my mouth
The winds of change blow anger
as they move in from the south.

You're weak, you're small, you twist the words you're given
Conveniently to match
the pain you think you're livin'

Times gone past, the fun ran fast but now the price is due
For the evil one is nobody else
Nobody in this world but you.

Your private hell and your ugly spell,
the cross you choose to bear
As you stand there and point wondering so stupidly
why I refuse to hear

Your pitiful sorrows, the grinding sound
of the mind's gear
Fall upon those who truly matter silently
When planting contempt in everyone else's ear.

You're finished, you're through,
There's no more me and you

The day's have past and my patience grows thin
And I don't give a shit what state of mind you're in.

I tried to be your friend, and in return my great reward
Was your submissive obsession that constantly pointed toward
My life, my love, and my inconceivable sin.

I fucked you for the night and from there you wanted more
Be gone now, Pagan Witch,
there's no love here left in store.

I pity the one your black widow's fangs bite
Especially when they're only looking for the night.

You'll coddle, and cuddle them And maybe shed a tear

BE GONE NOW, YOU MONSTER

YOU HAVE NO POWER HERE!

My Mirrors stand tall,
Floor to ceiling
On every wall

Try as you might to get me
My mirrors will only protect me

The reflection of your darkened throw
"Nevermore" on and on
says the black feathered crow

You've pushed the envelope
You've attacked your own teacher
tried to kick me while I was down
like some fucked-up kind of preacher.

My energy surpasses that such as yours
Far and beyond your cronies
and your countless evening whores

The battle is won, the episode complete
You thought you could beat me
How foolish to compete

I take back all I ever gave
Mine from the start
Feel free to rant and rave

Game over, you loose,
No matter which way you choose

Nobody trusts you,
Nobody loves you,
Not even yourself..

Cast all you like, nobody listens
Just sit there alone wallowing
while your candle flame glistens.

Fare thee well,
On your merry way

YOU HAVE NO POWER HERE

ESPECIALLY NOT TODAY!
