Dead Girls Don't Cry
01:39

Been there every day
For the last 10 years now
I cringe at the thought of the sound of your voice
I cant take another minute you leave me no choice
Dead girls don't cry
All plans are set and everything's a go now
You're sittin' on the couch there watching TV
I creep up behind you to begin the scene
Its the first time I've ever enjoyed your scream
The times finally come to fulfill my dream
You beg and you plead
While i watch you scream
Slow silent cry
As i watch you die

Unforgivable Sin

this reconciliation unwanted
my past recoming i'm haunted
leaving behind this broken past
keeping these scars till the very last
leaving life behind looking forward
not gonna be alone not gonna be cornered
leaving life behind looking forward
not gonna be alone not gonna be cornered
(Chorus)
standing straight up on my knees
drop my weakness my disease
turn the corner leave the city behind
visions clearing no longer blind
no more cutting no more tearing
no need for a compass i got my bearing
staring at the stars feeling at home
realizing a person that i've never known
needless to say i'm better without you
ill do whats natural do what i want to
i'm never alone but alone in a crowd
no one sees me under this shroud
maybe someday ill let someone in
for me that's the unforgivable sin

Upon the Hill

I stood there on that hill with my head held low
cold breeze blows by, whistling in the trees
your headstone staring back at me
fresh dirt at my feet
I close my eyes
I see your face
takes me back to another place
(Chorus)
how could you leave without saying goodbye
this empty place so cold without you
i hear your name, it sends a chill right through me
This life so cold, Lord please just let me die
Every passing day is just another weight on me
I step outside and look up at the sky
take a long deep breath of the cool thin night air
and pray the sun will never rise
never rise again
I don't want to face another day
I walk alone to that site upon the hill
your headstone staring back at me
dead grass at my feet
I close my eyes and see your face
and pray the sun will never rise again

Only Short Time
01:37

to all the ones i love that passed before
to all the ones i love but leave behind
we'll only be apart a short time
though we'll cry and wish for one more day
(Chorus)
you only go away for a short time then
you know one day ill see you again
To all the ones i love and leave behind
i love you ill miss you
but i guess this is my time
Don't cry don't sorrow and cherish tomorrow
and pray that God will keep you on his mind
