Hi, I'm Chris. I am a self-expressionist poet. I mostly write about my own life and experiences. I am a very emotionally diverse person, so a lot of my subjects might seem disjointed. I also like music a lot, mostly metal and rock.

It Dwells in Me
by All That Remains

Now hold this tight
Don't let go, no burden
I can't forget the past is real
No longer fight
This feeling, no burden
I can't erase what you've become this time

I cast doubt, no longer
And I am able
I am strong
And now it dwells in me

True to this cause, I hunger
I count the days that pass me by
I'll do what I know is right
No failure shall befall me this time

I cast doubt, no longer
And I am able
I am strong
And now it dwells in me
I cast doubt, no longer
And I am able
I am strong
And now it dwells in me

I cast doubt aside
I cast doubt aside
I cast doubt aside
I cast doubt aside

I cast doubt, no longer
And I am able
I am strong
And now it dwells in me
I cast doubt, no longer
And I am able
I am strong
And now it dwells in me

I'm strong, and it dwells in me
I'm strong, and it dwells in me

Strangler
by Soilwork

I feel it coming, my thoughts are running
Cause I can't do nothing about it
I'm turning, turning away from filth on my journey
Stepping aside from the breed that is burning
How did you get so unbearably stupid
How did you get your demons to rest
One final option
A senseless adoption of a self-made confidence

Bow, to get rid of this
Bow, another fear to kiss
Bow, this is my soulful departure

Walk the lifeline with no regrets
Wasting it all on what you cannot get
Forever painful and so goddamn deranged
Make no difference don't make a sound
Make your choice out of what you've found
Forever painful and so goddamn deranged

Cause I might as well choke
Listen to the sound
Cause I can't do nothing about it
Another round of their hysterical laughter
Plaguing my ears, causing my tears

Bow, to get rid of this
Bow, another fear to kiss
Bow, this is my soulful departure

Walk the lifeline with no regrets
Wasting it all on what you cannot get
Forever painful and so goddamn deranged
Make no difference don't make a sound
Make your choice out of what you've found
Forever painful and so goddamn deranged

Let's give another hail
To the ones that finally failed
Holding on to the truth 'til the very end
Facing their very last stand

No difference, no sound
No difference, damn deranged

Walk the lifeline with no regrets
Wasting it all on what you cannot get
Forever painful and so goddamn deranged
Make no difference don't make a sound
Make your choice out of what you've found
Forever painful and so goddamn deranged

In Effigy
by Shadows Fall

You will never give the power
To the powerless
Your ideal has grown
Far beyond your control

Can you ever find yourself again?
Your vision's distorting
Knowing it will never end
Can't see through your eyes

Can you imagine what is only
One step away?
The potential is waiting
Just beyond your grasp

Can you ever find yourself again?
Your vision's distorting
Knowing it will never end
Can you keep fighting on and on?

This false me will burn
In effigy
This false me will burn
In effigy

It's so easy to relax
And watch from afar
It's so easy to give in
To this complacence

Can you ever find yourself again?
Your vision's distorting
Knowing it will never end
Can't see through your eyes

This is Absolution
by Killswitch Engage

We will not die this way, in unification
They cannot break these chains of faith
Let them do their worst, let them do their worst
Never slaves to iniquity

We will not die this way, this is absolution
Death claims us no more, no more
Do not grief, end the suffering
We will live, live eternal

Will you take the stand among the dead
Bury your fear, and hold fast to life

We will not die this way, this is absolution
Death claims us no more, no more
Do not grieve, end the suffering
We will live, live eternal

Anchor yourself to the foundation
Of everything you love
Believe you have just become
To live, to live

Don't let the world deceive you
Don't let their words betray you
Don't let their lies deceive you
Lead them to their graves

We will not die this way, this is absolution
Death claims us no more, no more
Do not grief, end the suffering
We will live, live eternal
