Excellent point Alpha. That in mind, these are set up with parts for screaming, yes that's right. So the parts in italics or parenthesis are screaming parts. It needs work, but here ya go.

Black Autumn Waters

stopping the fall
watching the leaves
floating on the water
that you have left so black

stop painting portraits (of things best left unseen)
stop the bland conformities (you're losing everything)
shelling out the miles as if you have so far to go
never looking back, when you've got nothing left to show

breaking in pieces
counting the paces
digging the graves
for nameless faces

running in circles
counting lines
getting nowhere
but left behind

you'd stoop so low (to say you're mine)
you'd break a watch (just to kill some time)
watching time float on black autumn waters
burning dead leaves, red in bloody showers
bloody showers stopping blindly
bloody showers falling slowly
bloody showers drowning safely
In the waters that you thought you could float
In the waters that you thought you could float

You're a cold black autumn on blood stained waves.
