come one, come all to this tragic event
throw your smiles out, what you feel is resent
try to sort out what I said and I meant
let the music arouse bittersweet sentiment
x
crash all the parties and trash all the fairs
close both your eyes and live up the despair
let's play pretend and act like we don't care
black upon black, we will make quite a pair
x
wipe off the makeup and swallow the pain
cry it out, then teach yourself some disdain
cover up your flaws, then go drown in the rain
leave a legacy where hatred shows like a stain
x
stand up and leave all your old life behind
pack all your things and keep wasting your time
sing about death and then kiss this goodbye
make a sign to yourself, promising you won't cry
x
if you look in the mirror and don't like what you see
then smash it to pieces and set yourself free
forget all the people that you used to be
send a signal of smoke to the top of the trees
x
if everyone runs off and you're left all alone
if your apathy rings in an arrogant tone
when you're stuck in your life and just want to go home
when your anger collapses to shudders and moans
x
when everything changes and nothing's okay
you start to see beauty in death and decay

I like it. I don't understand the x between the stanzas. Is that to seperate them? Sorry, I'm confused.

Well, I like it. I also see beauty in death. It's more peaceful that this hetic world.
I think it will do good in the contest. Good luck!!!
