"Trade Up" by Jacob Hunter

Trade Up


+ Screams (CTone Clean, MidRange, Growls, Doomsday DeathGrowls, etc)
* Singing


+ I can’t. Let go. Of the thought of what I meant to you. I can’t. Let go. Of what I said to you.
Oh God. My God, I can’t. See what’s in front of me. Oh God. My God, I can’t believe…

Chorus - * I stand, for everything... I believe, in everything…. I need, everything…, that you are. And baby, you are…

+ This is me, baby. This is me… I can’t. I can’t. Change what who I am inside, I can’t. I can’t. Let go, of you, my bride… Be with me, or I will be *forever empty. +Cause I know, and you know, that baby *+you mean everything…

-Chorus-

+* Please don’t give up on me. Please don’t give up on this, on us. *I’ll let you tear me apart. +If you need someone, to breath with you. If you need someone, to cry with you. If you need, someone to live, with you. I’m here. *Oh baby, *+Oh baby, I’m here. *For you. Just tell me what to do.

"Good to Know" by Jacob Hunter

Good to Know


It was great to know. Thanks for those wonderful days. Great while it lasted, but as the sky fades, the world grows a darker shade of grey. The people I loved, slowly dissipating, as the last remnant of light, shows his darker side. The sparks and the flames, that sent us so high, way back in the day, are diminished now, and wasted away. Shattered glass in the plaster. A tombstone rests on the foundations of what we set. To know that all will be gone, to know that there is a lingering debt. Is there really a reason for hoping, when all has gone astray, we cry, we plead, and we pray. For God to take away our pain. Listless is the will of those who remain, and endless lies the list of fears clouding the minds of the tormented. This is an unthinkable fate, yet little do we know we’re on the train downhill. No joy, no pleasure, no glee. Spread it, there’s a party on the front door of misery.

"Prophesy" by Jacob Hunter

Prophesy


+Screamo


This is not our time
And this cannot be right
So this is how it ends
One unnecessary fight

Am I in need
Or am I just crazy
Am I in need
Or are we not meant to be

Somehow I knew this would happen
Somehow I fell asleep
Somehow I touched your lips
In my dreams…

+Is it normal to feel this cold
+Is it all my fault
+Are you here in my (eyes)
+Are you just smoldering coal

Run faster than I could be me
Run away from all you can see
I was here but now I’m not
I tried so hard to be…

It’s the prophesy of us
The fallen angel wept
And all I see is me
And I’m here just whispering

I wish I could just die
I wish I could just fall away
From you and me
But I can’t make you stay

Do I need you now
I think I’m over us
I think I’m over you
Drowned by my own love that poured from my insides

Music is my life
And so it goes on playing
Hear this song and hate…
A living sad disgrace

Do I need a someone
Do I need a friend
Do I need you anymore
I say I do ‘til the end

"Say Okay" by Jacob Hunter

Say Okay


Confused
Worlds spinning
Can’t find a conscience
Hint of profanity
Scent of lost dignity
Lonely time wasted
Searching for the world
The answers to the questions
Of the time I lost
I’m missing a heart
Silent love
That time of the year
That begins the eon
It’s a galaxy’s eternity
Falling into an empty pit
(Still falling)
Can we see our own destruction?
Is my heart truly functional?
Or is it under construction
Just say okay
My screaming bloody murder
Enter the void
Of a hundred faces
Kicked up in the dirt
Blood on my face
I killed them all
I’m alone
Just say okay!
Abiding in this building
Asking for forgiveness
My brain is swelling up
No satisfaction in this place
There’s blood
There’s bones
Dried flesh
Undead
I am the living
We are the dead
I’m just searching
For the most significant life
A fresh human body
A worthy soul
I can’t find it
Can you
I’m the one
I did it
Say okay
(Say it)
Just say okay
Flip turn around and see
Unconsciousness is a weakness
My life is a dream
Find a way to dwell in the dark
Absorbed by the lifelessness
In a life of pride and joy
Just say okay

"Plain and Simple" by Jacob Hunter

Plain and Simple


Easy to think, not so for speaking. To explain for simple minds, indescribable. To feel for yourself, unmatchable. This weakness. Shows strength. A heart hidden beneath mist and shadow. Covered in dust. Left to ruins, unmistakable as gone, and lost forever. But predetermined was the being sent from above coming upon a heart buried deep. She took it as her own. Cleaned it off and claimed it recovered. Months of care, months of climbing through troubles, led the woman to realize she had found the key to her heart. To be the hero to save her from her discomfort. To release a certain angel from captivity. And the man the heart belonged to vowed an oath unbreakable. To belong to and to never let go. To love the one who rescued him from the world he knew. And showed him life. He loves her. Plain and simple.

"In a Cage" by Jacob Hunter

In a Cage


Trapped
Longing
Mourning
Begging
Praying
Hoping
I’m in a cage
Trapped by the likes of the men or this world
In my mind my vision is twirling
My heart is unfurling
Longing the life that I missed
With girl that I never kissed
Rule the world with an iron fist
Mourning for the lives that were lost
And the ones that don’t exist
They’re nothing to me
Just an empty soul
A lifeless body trapped in the dust
Begging for the worldly lusts
The desires of this world are painful
I’m spinning and crying and hoping for the best
Praying to the one that said I’m my own
Praying for the power to do it by myself
To do it all for the best
Hoping the one that I need will see me here
Hoping she’ll stand up for what’s right
Stand up for the one she loves
Take a stand and fight!
For what’s right in your eyes
Shine bright like a light in pitch-black-starless-night
I’m in a cage waiting for the answer
To the questions that I asked in my previous life
Inside the fortress is waiting for me
A ride to the one who cried worldwide
Waiting for the one who lied to save my life
That I waited for so long to see you subside
I’m the one that tried to let us abide
In a close relationship
With each other
The ones alone and cold
On the outside
Now it’s all changed
I’m the one who died on the inside
Of eternity’s life
Tried with all my might
To keep a life worth living
Alive
You can say it’s over
You can say it's right
But in the end we’ll fall out
I tried to make it right
By the way I say I’m sorry
By the way I hold you tight
To the side far too wide for life to end
This way it’ll all begin like the way we collided
Full of pride you denied
The life I never had
All I did was provide a way for life to continue
You’re the one who had to decide
To love or to hate
The one trapped and longing for you
Or the one free and alive
At least I can say I tried to keep
My life on a road to eternity!
Guess I couldn’t keep us together
Forever
Its way too long
Whatever
I could only say never
Never leave me
Never forsake me
Never say it’s over
I’m the one who tried to make you see
How much I loved you
To make you agree
That we were meant for each other
To hold
And say
I love you baby!
I’m in a cage just sitting
And waiting
For life to take its courses
And to make you believe
That’s there’s all these special forces
Pulling us together
Alone in the dark about to embark
On a journey through the void
Of a life I took for granted
Sometimes I feel
That my life is a joke
That my life is enchanted
That I can’t even see what is going on inside me
Blinded by hate
Blinded by love
All I can think of
Is how great
My life was
In this place you call a cell
Yeah I’m trapped
All this undesirable rage
I’m freed by some invisible grace
Freed from my prison
No longer in a cage

"The Present Day Had Passed" by Jacob Hunter

The Present Day Had Passed


As an empty shell, I lay to waste. A hollow carcass laying abroad on the shore leave. My ship is landed; And now it lay abandoned. Urging to receive the love that it had coming; and praying that maybe you will return to love me unbecoming; and undeserving of your love, I cannot stand on this shallow ground. My life has run ashore; For the one I loved, and the one I adore, have left me to rot. To grow old in shadow of I; And to let myself crawl back to you, would be the one mistake worth the taking. You may keep me squirming in the fist you clench so tightly; But far into my beating heart I will accept the spite that you’ve given me. As much as you’ve disposed of my being, and as much as I accept the hands in which I abide, I cannot help but to wonder. Is this all? What have I got to live for past the present? If you are who you claim to be, then step up. Step up and claim your one true love. Step up and claim me.

"Past the PSR (Too Close For Comfort)" by Jacob Hunter

Past the PSR (Too Close For Comfort)


I wanted to see you one last time. But it was to no avail. I tried and tried but only caused; the death of your innocence. Burning in the darkness; Fire without sunlight. Screaming, without the thrill of knowing why; You left us alone. How could you leave us all to die?

My life was filled with malice towards others; smothered by hate and greed. But my heart has indeed ceased the bleeding. My life can continue; to fail or succeed.

In this life; All I see is blatant hate. The pain is shredding the world from the inside. Why won't he send someone to set the world straight? We need a leader, we need a friend. Most of all we need a mentor; Give us a savior we can comprehend.

I braced the unset. In this world; We are angry. We are false. In this planet; I see the end of us all. Set us in the right path; Make a decree; fix this world of hate. Stop this useless wrath.

Before the end of my life; I want to spend it all with you. To see us grow older; as they have been able to do. They fall in love, they live their lives, they die. This is the way your life will be. But not mine.

Embrace the unset. Set this world straight. Live your life with the one you adore; Before devastation shows up at your front door.

"...But a Number" by Jacob Hunter

…But a Number


This is...
This is...
This. Is. So unbelievable
It’s recognizable
Like I haven’t heard that before
But it’s not just that
Oh, Wonder why
Cause it's just those seven specifics, right?
Can’t be THAT hard
Can’t be so easy to believe...

Sound can travel
Oxygen is lower than before
Dug my face into the gravel
Though I try…

Wake me up!
Gonna suffocate soon…
9-15-07 showed me that you loved me
Wake me up
(you truly loved me)
And still my feelings baby
Still the blood in me
Crossed over to a whole new world
A true sensation
It’s sensual
So I need you no longer
Stick it to ‘em
Stick it to ‘em (yeah)
Stick it to ~+~ the ones you said you loved

This aint no social connection
Don’t shoot if there’s no where to run to
Ask them, and trust me, they’ll tell you
They all know it’s true

They know your heart
Crashed and burned
Boil the blood in you
There’s only one thing they need to know…

I’m not making your choices
And I’m not making you choose
Small incision left behind you
A single drop on the tongue
One needle in the veins of you
Little did you know it was poisoned
