Untitled

 


To say
To say is to feel and to feel is to break
I broke.
He's reaching for my throat
He's reaching for my hand
To write
To write is to feel and to feel is to break
Well I'm done with breaking, I'm moving on.

You're reaching for my throat
To do is to die and I need to breathe
You're reaching for my hand
To do is to lie and I need to be free

To leave
To leave is to hurt and to hurt is just greed
I left.
She's reaching for my throat
She's reaching for my hand
To stay
To stay is to hurt and to hurt is just greed
Well I'm done with hurting, I'm moving on.

You're reaching for my throat
To do is to die and I need to breathe
You're reaching for my hand
To do is to lie and I need to be free

To fight
To fight is to try and to try is to kill
I killed.
I'm reaching for my throat
I'm reaching for my hand
To give
To give is to try and to try is to kill
Well I'm done with killing, I'm moving on.

Mistake




she took his hand
doesn't realize it's just part of his plan
he says trust me
and she believed, oh believed, she believed

her mistake
she just couldn't see 
how disgusting humanity can be
and now she's empty, empty, empty
it was her mistake
and now she'll never be free
all she can feel is his hands on her body
and he takes, and he takes, and he takes
her mistake

she let him in
now there's bruises on her porcelain skin
but he says love me
and she's happy as can be, as can be, as can be

her mistake
she just couldn't see 
how disgusting humanity can be
and now she's empty, empty, empty
it was her mistake
and now she'll never be free
all she can feel is his hands on her body
and he takes, and he takes, and he takes
her mistake

he threw her aside
she sits back and counts the lies
he says sorry
but now she sees, oh she sees, she sees

her mistake
but she just couldn't leave
oh how disgusting humanity can be
and now she's empty, empty, empty
it was her mistake
and now she'll never be free
she still can feel is his hands on her body
and she breaks, and she breaks, and she breaks
her mistake

Satin and Lace



i was looking forward to a new year
new start, new life and no fear
but it didn't work out quite like i wanted my dear
i keep trying, keep prying your hands from my waist
but your grip is too strong, as i look at your face
remember when the only thing between us was satin and lace

but back to reality, in all actuality
you're gone, you've moved on
to your latest victim
and i guess i'm just gunna coast along
what else can you do when it all goes wrong?

each day dawns with shadows on my face
so it seems i gotta find sunshine some way
but pretty new things like that satin and lace
aren't always promises of happier days
and with that, i'm sinking fast 
one thought of you and i feel myself crash

back to reality, in all actuality
you're gone, you've moved on
to your latest victim
and i guess i'm just gunna coast along
what else can you do when it all goes wrong?

and guess who's still sitting here thinking of you
do you ever even think about what you do
what you did, what you're doing to someone right now
and i know in my heart she's falling apart 
like the million others you've conquered somehow

but back to reality, in all actuality
you're gone, you've moved on
to your latest victim
so i guess i'm just gunna coast along
what else can you do when it all goes wrong?

flashback.




everybody's walkin round holding hands
he stares down at mine, clutching my sides
holding me back, back from love, back from pain
back from falling and crashing once again

the room spins, when i see you
but it's not the love song you're used to
silence decends, it's harder to breathe
i do my best to act calmly

i'm lost in the jungle of my head
and it's him i'm thinking of instead

if i had one wish, would it be for one more kiss
or just not to wince when i think of this?
you give me one more chance, but i have to pull away
while i struggle with this heart attack that's here to stay
i'm fighting this battle all the time
i'm a lost cause, and this problem is all mine
so i, oh, i'm so sorry
but this is no love story

everybody's tryin out romance
but i can't get my barren heart to dance
feel your arms through the pain, feel the drops in the rain,
take a chance to start all over again

there you are, and i feel that tug
but it's not the one you're thinking of
i'm sinking again, and i cant breathe
i'm drowning in my memory

i'm lost in the jungle of my head
and it's him i'm thinking of instead

if i had one wish, would it be for one more kiss
or just not to wince when i think of this?
you give me one more chance, but i have to push you away
while i struggle with this heart attack that's here to stay
i'm fighting this battle all the time
i'm a lost cause, and this problem is all mine
so i, oh, i'm so sorry
but this is no love story

yeah, i'm so, oh sorry
but this is no love story

ghosts



footsteps echo through the empty halls
at least they would if the house wasn't so small
we walk around like friendly ghosts
at least until we come to blows

fake smiles and phony photographs
do absolutely nothing for me
so quit it with your fake laughs
i'm done with being your zombie

don't get so close, i think you know
that you don't want to be a parent now
you never tried, you only lied
it's kinda late to learn that now

keep telling me you've changed
you're done with playing games
like i've never heard that one before
i just don't need what you have in store

don't get so near, i think it's clear
that you're headed to a danger zone
don't hug me close, see how i froze
i'm just so used to being alone

i can't train myself to care
after the struggle of trying not to
when my whole life you weren't there
you can't teach yourself not to be you

so we walk around this house like ghosts
at least until we come to blows
footsteps echo in hypothetical halls
but no one's really there at all

Scars



black, blue, and purple baby
you can paint those nails up
but what about the rest of your hands?
red is not your color
but you might as well get used to it
cause you won't be scrubbing that away
anytime soon

looking in the mirror
falling through the cracks
there's no wonder left in wonderland
and i can't seem to get back
looking in the mirror
and wincing at the sight
you can close your eyes but it won't disappear
wish with all of your might

ghosts drift through your periferal
memories locked in a box
spinning like a merry go round
where the hell do i get off?
pretty pictures in colored books
only show the surface
it takes a pick axe and a giant shovel
to unscramble this worthless picasso

if it doesn't disturb you, it isn't art
so smash me to bits and glue together the parts
breaking the damn mirror to shards
staring you down is what's left of your heart
and you can't get away, run as you might
this is what's left of me tonight

looking in the mirror
falling through the cracks
there's no wonder left in wonderland
and i can't seem to get back
looking in the mirror
and wincing at the sight of him
you can close your eyes but it won't disappear
no it won't disappear
before it's time to fight again

One Of Us Has Got To Go




one of us has got to go, cause i can't go forever
what if bad is good, and good is only good for nothing anyways?
one of us has got to go cause i can't stay away
give me a gun because i'm done with being clever

i clench my teeth so they don't call your name
my hands, they grasp for your skin
i know all you'll ever bring me is pain
but it hurts when i'm with or without him

one of us has got to go, cause the world is oh so wrong
what if every single word has been a lie?
one of us has got to go because with every tear i cry
i don't know how much i can stand to clutch at strong

i clench my teeth so they don't call your name
my hands, they grasp for your skin
i know all you'll ever bring me is pain
but it hurts when i'm with or without him

i'd give my sanity to survive, and that's exactly the price
I know one more touch would kill me, but one more would never suffice

i grind my teeth, or they'll scream out in pain
my hands, they're itching for your skin
i know nothing good ever comes from your name
but it hurts when i'm with or without him

Random Free Verse

There's never any words to write anymore.
Every scrap of my soul flutters out the door,
As the layers of my skin sink to the floor;
I'm naked, I'm sinking, have I been here before?
I'm searching, but I can't seem to find my core.

Believe me, I'm thinking of you my dear;
Even though I don't say so, I still hold you near.
I don't know if this feeling can still be called fear;
I don't know why I hide, I don't know why I tear.
I don't even know why I can't seem to hear.

I go through the motions with my eyes closed tight.
You can't know me, don't you dare ask me to fight.
Even I don't understand my plight.
Believe me, I try with all my might,
But all I've ever really wanted to do is take flight.

I think about going, I think about the world,
I think about the way everything has unfurled.
I think about what I've done and what I've hurdled,
As I think the world spins and deeper I'm twirled.
Maybe it's best to stay permanently whirled?

See what you wish to see, as I hibernate.
Things will be as they'll be; is this fate?
In the long run it doesn't matter what you equate;
Humans will continue to hate, mate and create
As the world around them seems to deflate.

I honestly don't know the point of my rambles
I guess I just felt that seeing how life is in shambles
And I can't say anything without it being a gamble
I might as well post something I fully wrote, instead of just preamble
To the things I post when I want to speak, but my brain scrambles.
