it's with myself that I wage this fight by: Bloor

It’s with myself that I wage this fight
A battle fought both day and night
Everything’s wrong, nothing’s right
Can’t escape my abject plight

So many things inside of me
I don’t allow anyone to see
Still my seraph hears my silent plea

I see her cry when she sings
Put her thru such hellish things
She truly earned her heavenly wings

A perfect love I hear in the lilt of her voice 
Drowned out by the din of my choice
I don’t know why she keeps on trying
Continues to smile instead of crying
Knowing I’ll only risk leaving her again
Wish I could say it’s my only sin

i'd take it back By: Bloor

I’d take it back
Make it all good
I’d change all of my tomorrows
If yesterday would only say I could 
A flash of a badge and trumped up charge 
And I’m a fiendish criminal writ large
Archaic punishments for victimless crime
They even the score with who
After I’ve done the time
The more I think 
The more I find
An eye for an eye
Only makes the whole world blind
​All that remains are these chains I wear
And my mind searching for a way to make it fair.

Chess Game by Bloor

I am only a pawn
In your sadistic game
No stars but your own
On your wall of fame
You don’t see me
Don’t know my name
All the pride is yours
Mine is only shame


So far out of touch
Guess you’ll never know
You don’t love all you keep
Don’t realize what you reap
Has nothing to do with what you sow


You’ve grown weak and weary
Life has taken its toll
Now whats left to soothe your aching soul
A smile from the young
A touch from the old


There’s no more guiding light
No shelter from the cold
Will you find strength to fight
Or cut your losses and fold


Its not what you envisioned
You reached your goal
You have everything you wanted
But it isn’t what you sold
