The stars will weep for me on a night like this
A night when my soul burns bright and lonely
For no one is like me, and my soul will never be kept
On a night like this all the tears in the world have been wept.
•
Poison rain pelts against my skin
When I walk through the day carrying my sin
Such a sin Is caring more for others
When they don't really see you as equal, nor as brothers.
•
I've made a home within the sunset
And one too within the moon
It's too bad you never did let
Me make one inside of you.
•
The fur on his back is molting
And the growl in his throat is growing
The Big Bad Wolf is coming
you'd better start running.
His teeth are barred
And my skin is bare
If I'm not quick then I will barely
Escape his grasp
I'm trying but he's running too fast
Maybe this round I won't last..
or maybe I will
Because yet I still
Have to see the harrowing proof
And hear that howling woof
As he tears me apart
Before he eats my beating heart.
•
Sharp like a burn the pain of heartbreak pricks,
Until it is nothing more than PTSD and nervous ticks
But that doesn't change the way anything feels,
Every time it happens it's like electric eels
possess the body and leave it numb.
Next, to all of your temptations you succumb.
It's a vicious cycle with an ugly end
You should remember that most people just tend... to ruin each other.
•
I always love to bring the past back to life
when it comes knocking on my door I put down my knife
And my guard
Remembering to be careful shouldn't be this hard
•
Please tell me
That I am the thing you cannot stop writing about- I am the itch upon your fingertips and the only way to satiate it is to spend Earth's rotation plastered to the table while the pen bullies your hand across the paper.
Please tell me I am what dreams and novels and stories are made of.
•
Inhale and exhale
I say to myself
My mental capacity is that
Of a shelf
It's not a lot
But it's not a little
Not very strong
And not very brittle
It works for me
It gets me by
Inhale and exhale
It makes me feel high
•
You act like you didn't pry my heart apart with your fingertips and lips
Like you didn't rip my soul from my body with your ever-aching kiss
Please tell me, what's your reason for doing this?
No, never mind.
Knowledge is power but ignorance is bliss.
If watching the world burn were a way to pass the time, wouldn't you choose to be blind?
Especially when so much hatred overshadows the kind?
•
When the Devil comes to get you
he will send his minions
His carnies of the Devils Carnival
and there will be no mention
of a warning or a bell
We've all got stories to tell
Which some of us manage to sell
Who knows if it's to the agencies or to the Devil
But if you know me then you know that I'm a rebel
I will fight until this war is over
the war between needing to be fucked up and wanting to be sober
Baby please pull me closer
Hold me until the moon disappears
and along with it, my fears.
•
I just wanna look you in your stupid dead eyes
And tell you from here on out everything will be fine
Because I think that you deserve that
but I do too
Wish I had a magic hat
To pull out a better you.
Someone more capable of empathy
Or at least somebody less fucking empty.
