Welcome to the darkside
welcome to the me
close your eyes little
children
you may be scared
at what you may see

Ladies,  gentlemen and freaks
step this way
hurry now
the show is about ready
to begin

To our right we see an inner child
battered
crying for breath
kick him if you like
he's use to the pain

hurry now no time to waste

Now we enter the caverns of sin
can't you hear my evil
tainted thoughts
echoing off these walls
making me want penace

Come on now and join me
under my skin
see how
blood and pain bitter  flows
join the  demons dancing
in my veins

Cheer up you say
can you tell me how
when all my roses have thorns
and all my gardens weeds

Can you tell me how to dream
when all my dreams are nightmares
and all my nightmare dreams

I have found happiness and pain
one in the same
for what are heaven and hell
but only names

So you wanted to know me
did you like what you see?
welcome to my nightmare
pleasant dreams

Woah, electrifying!

Brilliant the way you've done this, as a tour through you, your mind and soul.

I can relate to this so much...

Do you mind if I print it out to put up in my locker at school? It just hit home so hard that, I don't think I can leave this site without having a permenant copy first... All credit straight to the poet of course.

Kill me tonight and I will love again
Leave me to live and I live in pain
Leave me no love and I live in vain
Kill me tonight and kill the pain

yeah, i know that side too, I hate those people that say "I'd love to get to know you better"...they really don't want to, they just don't know it
