The Fear Act
The Depression Act
The Rage Act
The Calm Act
The Broken-Heart Act
They’ve told me that the only thing to fear is fear itself…
But I’ve always had a lot to fear, myself…
Born into the world of two Demons, I had no reassurance
Nothing to shield my soul from this entire disturbance
I started my fear that very first instance
I woke in fear, slept in fear, and walked in fear
Afraid so much, I was afraid to even shed tears…
And so I was damned, to grow afraid for all these years
A sign of weakness would just make them press me harder
They would just see it more fun to push me farther…
There was no point in fighting because there was no way to win
No way to stop them in their hideous sin
I would just wait and brace myself to be stricken
After all this fear and pain, my soul began to sicken…
They broke my soul, crushed my will, and stole my sanity
All with these never ending acts of inhumanity…
And so I go on, a shell of a child from here on out
Too afraid to do anything; too afraid to shout…

The Depression Act
Ever have a day where you just don’t know how to feel?
You’re so completely zoned out; you forget what’s real…
And you get stressed, because all this, you’re trying to conceal?
Do you ever just wish someone would fucking tell you how to feel?
Depression, obsession, add a little insanity
Days like this, I wish I could destroy all of humanity
Break it down, blow it away
I just can’t figure out how to feel today…
What do I do, to make this all okay?
This is one of those days; you just wish you could run away
What the fuck, why do I have to feel like this?
So confused, and pissed off, and wishing I didn’t exist…
It seems as though the fabric of my life has begun to rip and tear
And I’m so lost, and confused…that I don’t really care…

The Rage Act
Fuck you and all that you call real
I hate how you always tell me to deal
What’s your problem, why’s it my joy you have to steal?
I don’t care what I say anymore, or how it makes anyone feel…
So you wanna slap my face?
Try to put me in my place?
Just leave me alone, and give me space
And I promise I’ll disappear without a trace
Because I know I can’t win this race...
All because of my slow, methodical pace
So you’re gonna beat me down?
Scatter the shards of my heart around…
Crush me beneath this weight, pound by pound
Deafen my world, and rob me of sound
Move over Satan, a new devil be crowned…
I just can’t take what you’ve done to me
You’ve ripped out my eyes so I can’t even see
And you’ve broken my soul, so I don’t even want to be
I know what I am, don’t fucking call me crazy
All this shit you want to put me through
Can’t even let me do what I want to do
Just leave me alone, and forget me, too
Just fuck your life, fuck your opinion, and fuck you!

The Calm Act
The curtain goes up for another act
I stand on stage with my courage intact
Something’s changed, but I can’t figure it out
Have I lost my rage, the desire to shout?
People told me that life goes on, I ought to deal
I remember my wonder at how such a thing could be real
Now I have to admit that I feel at peace
All the pain, hurt, and hate seems to have ceased
I can’t help but laugh at how things have changed
Once upon a time, my life felt so deranged
It was like a bad nightmare from the mind of a madman
It was a Hell that I could barely stand
I guess I grew up, matured and now I’m alright
I can’t get over the fact that I no longer have to fight
It felt like just yesterday that my world was all black
My life was pulled taunt, not given an inch of slack…
The show must go on, and now I can smile
It feels good to feel good for longer than just a little while
I guess it was a long time coming, these feelings that crept in
And now I look forward to the kind of person I’ve stepped in
I stand on stage with my courage intact
Something’s changed, but I can’t figure it out

The Broken-Heart Act
I’ve written letters to God and staged a play
I’ve listened to strangers just to hear what they say
I have loved and I’ve lost
I believe I’ve paid the ultimate cost
So now we fall from the sky
So now we break down and cry
We’ve dropped the ball
Lost it all
We learn to forgive and forget
We remember to think back, not regret
Just because we’re moving on
Doesn’t mean the love is gone
Things will always change
And for awhile, feel a little strange
But pain goes away
While memories tend to stay
We adapt, keep living and proceed
Even when we falter, we strive to succeed
Things may not be perfect at the end of the day
And we may not always have the right words to say
But we never stop, never give up the fight
Even when there’s no ending in sight
We never give up, never back down
Even when hope’s nowhere to be found
