Nailing Your Coffin Lid Shut
You seem to have boundary issues
Don't get paid nearly enough
to clean up your
snot bubbled tissues
Choice is yours to walk among
Not So Subtle Attention Whores
but why bother to choose?
When you're a pet monkey
self inflicted brain damaged flunky
with a taste of
"Look at me! Look at me!"
Won't shut the fuck up in there
Won't shut the fuck up
Nailing your coffin lid shut
too busy to care
I'd shout, "Get a fucking life!"
but you're already dead
inside that soul leaking
out of your hole of a head
I've got control
Never let it be said
I've got control
Your name
Your name
Your name
Never let it be said
again
You seem to have boundary issues
Don't get paid nearly enough
to clean up your
snot bubbled tissues
Choice is yours to walk among
Not So Subtle Attention Whores
but why bother to choose?
When you're a pet monkey
self inflicted brain damaged flunky
with a taste of
"Look at me! Look at me!"
Won't shut the fuck up in there
Won't shut the fuck up
Nailing your coffin lid shut
too busy to care
I'd shout, "Get a fucking life!"
but you're already dead
inside that soul leaking
out of your hole of a head
I've got control
Never let it be said
I've got control
Your name
Your name
Your name
Never let it be said
again

Touch
I am the razors in your veins
I am the souls of the insane
I am the shadows of your fears
I have just cried tomorrow’s tears.
(Touch) my sin
(Touch) within
(Touch) and shout
Bleed out,
that’s what it’s about.
I am the faces of the maimed
I am the player in your game
I am the chaos in your gun
I pulled the trigger, now you’re done
(Touch) my need
(Touch) my greed
(Touch) my heart
it’s black
just tear it apart.
I am the razors in your veins
I am the souls of the insane

that’s what it’s about.
I am the faces of the maimed
I am the player in your game
I am the chaos in your gun
I pulled the trigger, now you’re done
(Touch) my need
(Touch) my greed
(Touch) my heart
it’s black
just tear it apart.
Black as Your Soul
Inspired by pr3tty h8 mach1ne...Nine Inch Nails Competition
Black as your soul
As dark as mine too
I'd rather die
Then let you see through
No, you can't take it
The loss of all control
Bowing down to serve
Darkness black as coal
Black as your soul
As dark as mine too
I'd rather die
Then let you see through
No, you can't take it
The loss of all control
Bowing down to serve
Darkness black as coal

Pretty little drug machine
The sun never rose today
Everything has gone away
Smoke is burning my eyes
What the fuck just happened here?
I rode you further down the spiral
And now I'm stuck in the teeth of life
...But in the most fragile way...
Your wretched little mind is breached
Why can't you see it my way?
You're a slave to the stars
That glitter and white gold
With snow blinded eyes
You're a frostbitten hoe
Empty inside
With hardly a soul
How quickly you slide
Out of control
I've been sucked into that black hole that you call a head
No star to shine a light in it
I keep falling back into that vacuum because I'm heavy as lead
Heavy with your weight on my back and off balance with what you said
You're a slave to the stars
That glitter and white gold
With snow blinded eyes
You're a frostbitten hoe
Empty inside
With hardly a soul
How quickly you slide
Out of control
It's all about the smell of what we've done!
And the sin of it
Like the animals do without disgust!
Or regretting it
Release me from your fucking pull!
I'm too weak to break away
You are a black fucking hole!
How much debris can you condense into your face!
You're a slave to the stars!
(So bow down)
That glitter and white gold!
(And stay down)
With snow blinded eyes!
(Now lay down)
You're a frostbitten hoe!
(For the one you serve)
Empty inside!
(She'll make it all go away)
With hardly a soul!
(She'll make it all go away)
How quickly you slide!
(She'll make it all go away)
Out of control!
(She made herself go away)
The sun never rose today
Everything has gone away
Smoke is burning my eyes
What the fuck just happened here?
I rode you further down the spiral
And now I'm stuck in the teeth of life
...But in the most fragile way...
Your wretched little mind is breached
Why can't you see it my way?
You're a slave to the stars
That glitter and white gold
With snow blinded eyes
You're a frostbitten hoe
Empty inside
With hardly a soul
How quickly you slide
Out of control
I've been sucked into that black hole that you call a head
No star to shine a light in it
I keep falling back into that vacuum because I'm heavy as lead
Heavy with your weight on my back and off balance with what you said

Our emptiness
Dark poetry comes so easily to me.
Due to my hostile nature,
I am satans preacher.
I am the voice of hell
Long ago i fell.
The shattered pieces of my life
Cut my hands like glass or knife.
I surrendered myself to satan
My soul black now as a raven.
Picked apart and left to rot
I ponder upon my last thought.
This will not be the death of me
for there is still light begging to break free .
A change of heart
A beacon of hope
A new start
Nevermind, nope.
Evil has consumed
My entirety
It will consume us all eventually.
Plagued by blasphemy
Misery my remedy
Tears of blood
Will soon start to flood
Drowning us all
In our selfishness
We are scum
We are sick
We will fall
Into our emptiness
We will fall into our emptiness .
We will fall
into our emptiness.

Down
I was wearing a shroud
Of disbelief
Through a mask of red and black
I smiled
Though it was weak
Like my heart and good intentions
Like the Earth beneath my feet
I was on the edge
Of Swallowed whole
Through my lacerated fate
Ripped through by a 7th prince
Came Beelzebub with glaring eyes
Electric blue like my ruins gate
Vivid as the terrors that shook my nights
He held me down
I had walked above it
In my mourning gown
I surrendered rectitude
I felt his drown
Desperate for breathe
I unleashed dogma
Kissed the mouth of death
Suckled moral turpitude
It felt so good
Going down
I lost myself and swallowed
Leaving bitch my new name and attitude
I now wear my crown
And masks of gold
In demon speak
My story told
In tongues that snake
Raw twisted hold
I was wearing a shroud
Of disbelief
Through a mask of red and black
I smiled
Though it was weak
Like my heart and good intentions
Like the Earth beneath my feet
I was on the edge
Of Swallowed whole
Through my lacerated fate
Ripped through by a 7th prince
Came Beelzebub with glaring eyes
Electric blue like my ruins gate
Vivid as the terrors that shook my nights
He held me down
I had walked above it
In my mourning gown
I surrendered rectitude
I felt his drown
Desperate for breathe
I unleashed dogma
Kissed the mouth of death
Suckled moral turpitude
It felt so good
Going down
I lost myself and swallowed
Leaving bitch my new name and attitude
I now wear my crown
And masks of gold
In demon speak
My story told
In tongues that snake
Raw twisted hold
I Always Win
I made a game
But by mistake
It all started
when I lied to a friend
Now every time I move
And go in a new school
I look for new friends
But deep inside
I know I have to stop
Because the reason
For these friends
Aren't to fill an empty hole
A nail has already filled that
These friends would be for fun
The thing I always do
Lie, lie and lie a lot more
About who I am at first
But then they will grow deeper
And deeper
Until my friends see me as a light
A light that will easily go out
However as soon as the Truth gets out
For I will tell it
Then they will see
That I am not a light
But a glass of dark smoke
And ounce the glass breaks
The smoke will be released
And all those who are touched by it
Will falter and cry
And the pain will then come
And I will stand above them
And when I have won
Like I always do
In this game that has ruled my life
The game that I always don't like
So please
Grab a hammer
And a few nails
Make sure you grab lots actually
One for each lie
Three for each friend
And two for every place I invaded
And place them in my arms and legs
But not my hands or feet
Because I still need to play the game
Ounce you have finished those nails
Look around where I ounce lived
In every house I called home ounce
And look for the nail that I put in the wall
And pull them all out
And come back to me
And I will take care of the rest
Because of the pain you gave me
It did not last
Because knowing
That I will always hurt a dear friend
Will strike me deeper in a place beyond my heart
And will damage me inside
And then I'll slowly rot
When the time comes
For my life
I don't know where I will go
However Heaven is definitely out of option
So I will then wait
And when I end up
Before the judge
I will then befriend him
And then see how long he will last
And if that fails
Then I will befriend those wherever I go
And I will keep on grinning
Knowing I caused someone harm
But by mistake
It all started
when I lied to a friend
Now every time I move
And go in a new school
I look for new friends
But deep inside
I know I have to stop
Because the reason
For these friends

My Pipe
Sleepless nights
laying in bed
horrible nightmares
replay in my head
All the things
I shouldn't of done
but all I wanted
was to have
some fun
I got high
so I could feel
I don't think
it was a big deal
But I lost my
family and my friends
I just want
this all to end
I am broken
I'm a mess
all because
I smoked some meth
I thought crystal
was my best friend
but in reality
it was the beginning of the end
I hit rock bottom
and I hit it hard
thanks to my pipe
I'm forever scarred.
