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
