I know you're only a placebo, but that doesn't mean I won't OD you any less
There are bruises where my reality should be
I’m not asleep and I’m not awake
just trapped in this in between place
They won’t give me sleeping pills over the counter anymore
so I’m stuck with the stuff they give people
with hay fever
and I’m so tired I can’t tell if the pills work
or if I’m just addicted to idea of them working
that I drift off long after they should have kicked in
and call it a placebo effect affair
Sleep is never sleep in this in between days
I can’t switch off
not when there is so much to do
not when my world is drowning
I’m inhaling water like it’s an incentive to swim
to safer shores
if only I could find something to hold on to
When the days get too long
and the shadows get too wide
that they choke the horizon
I start thinking that a chemist brand overdose
might be a good idea
just to sleep without dreaming of waking
because in waking all I do is dream of sleeping
My eyes have become gateways to, huh?
and I know I’ve read your face a million times
but it still makes no sense to me
in this place that’s not really anywhere
The cliffs are calling and the ocean beckons
with the echo of nereids against the rocks
Perhaps I should go find those pills
... just to sleep

Gamer
My digital mistress takes me away
From the harness of reality
And it's soul-crushing boredom
There I can be a guitar God
Without a lifetime of experience
I can be a hero
Without even being brave
Or be as bad as I want
Without any real consequences
But everything good comes at a price
That I pay in relationships
Can't find a love that understands
That I'll always be a gamer

Vampire Diary.
People call me crazy,
As I taste the blood on my lips.
It's become sort of taboo,
That I want that deaths kiss.
The hot and heavy sex,
The chase that thrills.
The blood that flows,
The lust that kills.
Be the greatest kind of villain,
The one you hate love.
The one to take your breathe away,
Mortality, completely objecting of.
Call me a freak or whatever springs to mind,
But I crave to rule my own empire.
To be the iltimate predator, to be the queen,
My addiction is to be a vampire.

Meth
Crystal
Glass
Nothing can surpass
The single feeling of flying
With no fear of dying
Have you ever wanted to be awake for days?
Have you ever wanted to grind your teeth?
I will not give this drug beauty
For it steals the girl that would be a cutie
Have you ever wanted your face to go pail?
Have you ever wanted your mind to set sail?
Selling your life just for a gram
Stealing someone else's for a gram.
The Gram the one thing you look forward to day and night, that gram.
To smoke or snort or inject.
You choose the way you Die, but remember its just for a gram

way it is
From crystal to powder from powder to smoke from smoke
All I do is wait for another toke.
From crystal to power, nose stinging
Give it a moment to take effect.
Do you know what its like?
do you know how it feels?
the craving the pain
you skin burns

My Happy Place
The taste of you
The smell of us
The feel of you
The rhythm of us
The look of you
The fit of us
The heft of you
The coalescing of us
The taste of you
The smell of us
The feel of you
The rhythm of us
The look of you
The fit of us
The heft of you

::Liar::
Liar, liar, pants dripped in desire.
Burns and lights my passion on fire.
Lies and flames lick my skin.
Oh I've gotten used to this sin.
To feel the pain of the world,
Settle on the shoulders of just one girl.
Hit me again, I swear I'll scream.
Won't just sit there and daydream.
This hollow shell of desired pain,
Is just enough to get through the day.
Until home when I can set myself on fire,
And to any who asks, "I'm not a liar."
