Where The Monsters Fear To Tread Written by: Steven W. & J. M. © Copyright 2009, All Rights Reserved. Use Permission. I know I'm not, the one to blame. For broken toys, to numb to cry. Why should I feel, so much shame. No reason to live, to many to die... I don't wish, to die like this. Fighting him, with all my might. I say stop get away, it shouldn't be like this. But all he wants, to do is fight... Chorus: I want to run & hide, where the monsters fear to tread. Where pain is but a memory, & nothing more is ever said. I want to run & scream, from deep within my very core. Till hatred becomes a stranger, & my anger is no more... He has now stopped, and I'm alone. I hide inside, my room all day. He says that he, has changed his tone. I don't know just what to say... What he did to me, I can't forget. What I'm fighting, isn't his sin. The pain inside, has not gone yet. Fighting the shame, I hold within... (Chorus:) Bridge: I'm longing to be free. Of this shame, that's blaming me... (Spoken:) Oh Lord, do you hear my battle cry? Help me, save me, before I die. I'm just wanting, to be free. Of this shame, that's blaming me. I'm asking you, to take it away. So it won? bug me, another day. I know that you can do it Lord, You can take away, that sword. That's stabbing me, and causing me pain. And causing me, to go insane. I know you heard, my battle cry. And helped me fight, instead of die. For now I know, you always hear. Even when, I'm full of fear. And that you'll never go away. And in my heart, you'll always stay...

Child's Play Written by: Steven W. © Copyright 2009, All Rights Reserved. Use Permission. Mommy can you, hear the cries. Of the unforgiven, who've told no lies. Ones who took the blame, for your shame. Ones with sorrow, in their eye?… They take the blame, and the abuse. As you use conveyance, a murders excuse. Must this be the price, for a sinful act? Or the choice, of two that interact… Chorus: Mommy Don't kill it, can you hear what I say? Mommy don't kill it, this is no child's play… As I sit in my padded room, made of flesh and bone. Mother I can see through your eyes, as I'm told I'm alone. Mommy why do you, want it to die? Did it do something wrong, did it make you cry??? And as the hatred, builds inside. I can feel my emotions, about to collide. Mommy can you, feel it's pain? Doesn't it, drive you insane??? Bridge: Why must you damn, this child's life? Dose it put you, through that much strife??? Chorus: 2 Mommy Don't kill it, can't you see? Mommy don't kill it, it's only me…

Alone Written by: Steven D. Wells © Copyright 2009, All Rights Reserved. Use Permission I've notice, the warning signs. Even before you, hit the floor. I've noticed, the hurting binds, Even before you, slammed the door... I've notice, the feeling inside, I know, it's so hard to ignore. I've notice, your frozen pride. With hands, aching and sore.... Chorus: This is your hidden prison, it isn't made of flesh and bone. It's bars are fears and reason, leaving you feeling all alone... I've silenced, the gun in hand. Before it hit, the cold floor. Child I've heard you cry, Lord i don't want, to sin anymore... Bridge: Your chained heart's, bound by a thread. For it's been hurt, it's been mislead. So many times, You've been left to fate. You've cried, somebody find me, before it's too late... (Chorus:) Child you've cried, Lord Help me, help me. I don't want, to sin anymore. You've said, Lord take this gun, before it hit's the floor. My Lord help me, save me. I don't want, to sin anymore...

Silenced Ones Written by: Steven W. © Copyright 2009, All Rights Reserved. Use Permission. In my room on my own, In this world of flesh and bone. God can you hear my silent cry, while others just deny? Mommy help me, i cry in vein. Mommy help me, he's gone insane... Pre-Chorus: Daddy Told Me A Lie, now it's Time, To Say Good-By. You Say I'm Obscured, And Call Me A dirty Word. Chorus: 1 Mommy, i now Have A Son. Who'll Speak For These Silenced Ones... Why didn't you listen, when daddy bore me a child. Couldn't you hear the screams in the night, of me going wild. Mommy I'm only thirteen, you don't know the half of what I've seen... (Chorus:1) Bridge: (Spoken) Daddy why did you hurt me, when we played. You got your thrills, but look who paid. The ropes of humanity, are around my throat. You hear me say this, as i choke... Pre-Chorus: Daddy told me a lie, now it's time, to say good-by. Mommy you Say I'm Obscured, As you call me a dirty word. Chorus: 2 Lord i have a son, Please speak for these Silenced Ones...

John Doe Written by: Steven W. © Copyright 2009, All Rights Reserved. Use Permission. You think about death, all night long. And with every breath, self-esteem sings a song. Sometimes you find an exit, an open door. Sometimes you quit, and scream what for... Chorus: Shot gun, life's no fun. Hand-full of pills, and unpaid bills. Shot gun, there's nowhere to run, There's nowhere to go, for this john doe... I know the words, are never said. To your face, in the night. Either, every one's mislead. Or they've just, lost their sight. Your face is, never felt. So you don't, now how to love. Brought up by, the shut up belt. It fits you, like a glove... (Chorus:) You where, never hugged. So contact, is something new. When asked you shrug, and say why do you. You don't need, a reason to die. There are too many, to give. Striving without love, you just need, a reason to live...

Bottled Fears Written by: Steven D. Wells © Copyright 2009, All Rights Received. Use Permission. Deep within me, the hatred burns. Deep within a forgotten soul, my stomach churns. Deep within me, i hold my hidden screams. Deep within me, i hold my painful dreams... Chorus 1: The memories fade, yet the pain stays. The memories fade, they never go away... Bottled fears keep sanity, far from my mind. My petty fears cloud any, sanity it can find. Fears and memories, memories and tears. One makes up your identity, the other your years... Chorus 2: Lord the memories fade, yet the pain stays. Lord the memories fade, please make them go away... Deep within me, hatred burns a hole. Deep within me, lye's a forgotten soul. Hidden screams, hold hidden thoughts. Within painful dreams, true love rots... (Chorus: 1,2)

I'm Here Written by: Steven W. © Copyright 2009, All Rights Reserved. Use Permission. Staring into your eye's, I can see, the pain you bare. Thinking of your, many skies. Wondering God, do you care. The many times, you've cried yourself, to sleep. I taste the tears, as you weep... Chorus: I'm here, to feel your pain. I'm here, to make it rain. Let it rain... I can see, the many daggers. You hold, within your mind. To numb the pain, you bare. Silent screams, sent to sanity. To see if, even he would care. It's so hard to hear, a silent plea. When everyone else, is there. But i want, you to know, yours I'll always bare... (Chorus:) My Child let it rain on you. My Child let it consume you. My Child I love you.

Wounded Written by: Steven W. © Copyright 2009, All Rights Reserved. Use Permission I heard gunfire, no bullets found. something pierced me, no blood was around. I felt the pain of words, never to hit the ground. I cried out for help, no helps found... Chorus: 1 Lord God I'm wounded inside, I know in you I can confine. (2x) I want to fly... oh let me fly... Bridge: Laid myself down, but there's no bed. Searched this broken mind, but my soul's dead. Bitter thoughts that now, darken my head. Left bitter broken & mislead... (Chorus: 1) I heard rushing water, there was no stream. I opened my mouth, but there was no scream. I felt the pain, of words I never see. it's those words, that healed me... Chorus: 2 Lord God I was wounded inside, but I knew in you I could confine. (2x) I want to fly...Now watch me fly... I heard gunfire, no bullets found. something pierced me, no blood was around. I heard wounding words, hitting the ground. I cried out for love, and I was found...

Absolution Of Limbo Written by: Steven W. © Copyright 2009, All Rights Reserved. Use Permission Why do we cry, in circle nouns? Only to drown, in the desire. Why do you lie, in stupid frowns? Then scream for, your glorious fire??? Why when crying, unto the night? The answers, are never found. When did we, loose our sight? Was it when we, tumbled to the ground??? Chorus 1: Absolution of limbo... (3x) Is my life, a roll of, of the dice? Or can I, change it's price? Daddy's gone again, mommy's still drunk. Who knows, where she's been... Why can't I, fly my kite? Of the dreams, I wanna see? Why can't I, run away? To finally, be set free... Chorus 2: Absolution of limbo, (3x) Oh my Lord, forgive the neglect Bridge 2: I wanna fly, I wanna fly, I wanna be free...

Victim Written by: Steven W. © Copyright 2009, All Rights Reserved. Use Permission Verse: I can see you lien' in your bed, the curtains drawn. While trying sleep, a finger touches you. Who's that you say, is something wrong? no one answers, it’s nothing new. You think no one cares, but I do... Chorus: Child I hear you cry, molest me. I can hear you scream, my daddy did. Child I hear you cry, molest me. I can hear you scream, I'm just another victim, victim of love… I see you in the closet, as you’re soon undressed. You scream, now that you've, seen me naked. Daddy tell me, are you impressed. now that I've, been in your bed. All you can say, this means daddy loves you... Bridge: (whispered) You’ve cried molest me, I'm the only one. Oh molest me, molest me my love. You’ve screamed help me, Lord help me find love. Please help this victim. But child, I’m here. Feel my breath, dry your tears. Child I’m here…

Curiosity Killed The Cat Written by: Steven W. © Copyright 2009, All Rights Reserved. Use Permission The sky is, a pail blue. My mind is comb, like an evening's stew. Sounds of nature, are all around. Nothing but innocence, to be found. Bees are buzzing, on flowers in bloom. Laughter's ringing from, my parent's room... Chorus 1: Curiosity, caught a hold of me. but didn't prepare me, for what I'd see. Mommy and daddy, atop each other. Kissing and squeezing, one another... I never understood, love between women, and man. Mommy and daddy, never did. And they've made, me who i am. If curiosity, killed the cat, I'm already dead. For some one like mommy's, now in my bed... Chorus 2: Curiosity, caught a hold of me. Perversion prepare me, for what I'd see. Daddy and daddy, atop each other. Kissing and squeezing, one another... (I guess curiosity, killed the cat...) The sky's, a pail blue. My mind once comb, like an evening's stew. Sounds of nature, are all around. & My innocence, nowhere to be found. (I guess curiosity, killed the cat...)

Don't Hurt Daddy Written by: Steven W. © Copyright 2009, All Rights Reserved. Use Permission I know it's too late, to say our hello's. The ravens cry, has broken the seal. Are secrets hard to keep, when no one knows? With a wounded soul, what's to feel??? Oh Father, here I lye, once again. Within the darkness, of this old room. I can taste tears, I know I tasted then. Searching for answers, I'm no longer consumed... Chorus: Can you hear, the tone in my screams? He's changed, can't anyone see. Can't you hear, me cry from, within my dreams? Don't hurt daddy... I've felt the scars, that where made. Tasting salty tears, while sitting in bed. Unto the obscurity, rolls where played. But I found to forgive, is better then what's been said... (Chorus:) I know it's too late, to say our hello's. The ravens cry, has broken the seal. Are secrets hard to keep, when no one knows? With a wounded soul, what's to feel???
