Consequences of Success

Consequences of Success

By Nomar Knight

There's a target on my back

Success launches a thousand knives

Steps become harder to track

Truth drowned out by lies

Become great at spotting hate

Evil glances as if to dismember

Be careful what you ask of fate

Failure is what they hope to remember

Don't satisfy ignorant fools

Take things to the next level

Incorporate new tools

Who cares if they see the devil

March to your own beat

Aggressively take what's yours

Golden throne your new seat

Desire and sweat open doors

And if you feel you had enough

That being amazing is bad

Stow a plan in your cuff

It's fun to make them all mad

When Love Bleeds

When Love Bleeds

By Nomar Knight

How can I take a chance?

To find a loving romance

When I know all too well

The pain takes me to hell

Like a vampire when he feeds

That's when love bleeds

Nothing but fallen prey

Don't know what to say

As if I'm stuck in my seat

Stinking of rotted meat

Like a zombie as he feeds

That's how love bleeds

I'm no necromancer

Can't get up to become a dancer

No coming back to life

As if my chest holds a knife

Like a ghoul when he feeds

That's when love bleeds

Wish I knew what to do

So I could move on too

But reality bites

Won't reach new heights

So as the monster feeds

That's when love bleeds

March forward I'm told

Try to be bold

Meet someone new

But they haven't a clue

Inside me it feeds

That's why love bleeds

Darkness for me Tonight

Darkness For Me Tonight

By Nomar Knight

I've been practicing letting you go

Ever since we said hello

The warm embrace that replaced words

Hearts beating like a thunderous herd

Watched what could be

Turned into it can't be me

A cruel fate dealt us a blow

How to cope I don't know

Fly be free from my love

Let your wings stretch from high above

No hope no joy only despair

Must pretend we no longer care

For the halls of echoes will bleed

If we wallow in love's greed

So fly away my angelic light

Only darkness for me tonight

Only darkness for me tonight

With clipped wings I cannot fly

Only darkness for me tonight

Tomorrow the sun may shine

The myth that you were mine

Reveals true darkness not light

Only darkness for me tonight

Only darkness for me tonight
