Bury My Heart

~ Frank Solanki ~ 34 Comments

I built these walls so high that
No one could ever climb
I’m erasing all your memories
To try and heal my mind
Just when I thought I had it
Every joy fell flat
I’m digging up a hole now
Big enough so that
I could bury my heart
…
Confine me in a room where
There are just no doors
No windows, no distractions
Nothing like before
There I’ll sit and waste
All my days away
Nothing could ever hurt me
Nothing to make me sway
If I bury my heart
…
I’ll be back at that place
Where it all did start
Except this time I’m lonely
A body with no heart
There’s no answer with me
For this recurring pain
If I had the option
I’d do it all again
So I bury my heart
I bury my heart

A Hundred Years Of Pain

~ Frank Solanki ~ 28 Comments

Oh these lonely nights are long
I don’t want to stay
Put me there where I belong
Please don’t throw me away
It’s like I’m handed out a hundred years of pain
It’s just too much to take. It’s driving me insane
I have no strength now to face this all over again
It’s just too much to take. A hundred years of pain
…
The demons of a distant past
Have come out of their graves
A devilish tall shadow they cast
Upon my mental slaves
It is like I’m going through a hundred years of pain
Too lost and broken now to understand or explain
There is nothing left here for me to lose or gain
Someone come and stop this hundred years of pain
…
To my God I have prayed
To my mother I have cried
With my children I have made
A pact to leave my side
For I was born to suffer a hundred years of pain
Born to expose my wounds as the skies pour the rain
No point in battling the scars all over again
Seems like I’ve always been living a hundred years of pain

The Final Halloween

~ Frank Solanki ~ 27 Comments

Come you little creeps
Come here to your queen
Bring me all your poison
To mark this Halloween
Lets raise the skeletons
And all the undeads
Evil monsters and lords
Zombies with no heads
Tonight we take the streets
Take over every place
Paint this entire town
With my charming face
Set their hearts with fear
With creeps that run and crawl
Deliver the message of
The curse that will befall
So come you little creeps
Come here to your queen
Tonight we celebrate
The final Halloween

Hell

~ Frank Solanki ~ 17 Comments

It isn’t hard to tell
You may know it very well
This place that we live in is Hell
…
The signs are all clear
We’re surrounded by our fears
The end is afar but seems so near
…
You are on your own
And I am left alone
Everyone’s relatively unknown
…
The storm’s blowing wild
On a mother and her child
While I saw a demon as he smiled
…
Minutes feel like days
This body burns in ways
Can put to shame the darkest blaze
…
You can tell it by the smell
This place where we dwell
Yes this place that we live in is Hell

Sleep Tight, Maggie

The howls are audible
Full moon’s beaming down
All the evil spirits
Have suddenly come alive
Haven’t seen the morning sun
For weeks now
It is darkness all around
The creepy creatures are crawling
Slowly towards me
My daughter’s sleeping in her bed
I could wake her up and run
But that is not my style
I will face them all
I’ve got my gun
And my cigar
Together we will bring them
Down to their knees
Bang! One down
So many more to go
I won’t let anyone
Disturb her sleep tonight
Time to teach you a lesson
For scaring my princess
Bang! Two down
I am warning you
I have promised my girl
When she wakes up
She’ll find all of you down
And the golden sun up
