When suicide is a losing game
I stand atop this never ending bridge
The River of sticks full of pain and fear
For my passenger of darkness
Had taken me here
I walk the face of earth
For I am a broken puppet
With broken strings
My passenger made me feel
That this demon knew best
With my wooden bones and my dull eyesight
I believed all that was wrong was absolutely right
I laid in a slumber of torment and guilt
All my world needed was a slight tilt
My passenger was there, just out of sight
Hiding in my shadow
In the dead of the night
Lovers weeping and hope...
The River of sticks full of pain and fear
For my passenger of darkness
Had taken me here
I walk the face of earth
For I am a broken puppet
With broken strings
My passenger made me feel
That this demon knew best
With my wooden bones and my dull eyesight
I believed all that was wrong was absolutely right
I laid in a slumber of torment and guilt
All my world needed was a slight tilt
My passenger was there, just out of sight
Hiding in my shadow
In the dead of the night
Lovers weeping and hope...

Sleepless Death
Sleep is my one true friend
She takes me to a place where I sway and bend
Here I lay in my slumber
Growing darker
Getting number
I can escape reality
And lose my mind
But then recall
I am running on stolen time
I feel more happiness, cocooned in these cotton sheets
Any beast I can and will defeat, in my time while I'm asleep
It may sound pathetic
But in reality it is tragic
My life is truly chaotic
A tiredness has taken me over completely
It numbs my sense and drags me into this abyss
...

When a song about myself turns into a poem about him
Someday I can only wish
That my painting will lay me in eternal rest
My razor-blade brush will go so deep
to carve my bone
to release my spirit from this carcass prison
I cannot recall when I stopped smiling
I do not remember when I started my art form
But do you not realize that the only ecstasy I receive is when I bleed?
I've tried to long to hide behind a veil
And I think after this long battle
The demons may have won
All the unfinished goodbye letters
All the sleepless nights
Times where I have considered...
That my painting will lay me in eternal rest
My razor-blade brush will go so deep
to carve my bone
to release my spirit from this carcass prison
I cannot recall when I stopped smiling
I do not remember when I started my art form
But do you not realize that the only ecstasy I receive is when I bleed?
I've tried to long to hide behind a veil
And I think after this long battle
The demons may have won
All the unfinished goodbye letters
All the sleepless nights
Times where I have considered...

Heartless
You are right
I only need myself
But it has become rather difficult
To function this way
When everyone comes and takes away parts of me
I no longer contain
Any part of the girl I once was
The girl in the mirror, who stares back at me
She is hideous, she is evil
I am a shell
And all that I contain is dark thoughts and a painful past
I am Pandora's Box
I only need myself
But it has become rather difficult
To function this way
When everyone comes and takes away parts of me
I no longer contain
Any part of the girl I once was
The girl in the mirror, who stares back at me
She is hideous, she is evil
I am a shell
And all that I contain is dark thoughts and a painful past
I am Pandora's Box

Suicide Notes and warped reality
Isolation
Cold dead space
Stretching out between the ocean and I
The emptiness resides within me
I'm loss somewhere between my descisions and confusion
My feelings not making any sense to me
But I tell myself
"Just a bit longer"
Coldness seeps down to my very bones
Freezing me in this way
Leaving me in a way, Of what I fear the most
I reach for something unseen
Hoping for something, anything to keep me from dying this way
But alas nothing my hand does so grasp
I know its possible, something there once was
Only to be...

In the cold of the night
The earth trembles, she senses the way my heart has broken
The sound of tree roots ripping from the soil fills the air
Loud clashes or thunder add to the terrifying ballad
Sound crashing my ears, from every direction
I feel my face, paling complexion
Then silence, I see the ground spinning up toward me
I cringe in pain, struggle to breathe
So this is the end?
I'd be better off dead
I see your silhouette
Even as I couldn't see your face
A cool mist captures me in a suffocating embrace
I...

Awakening (Serial Killer Love Story....Part 1)
I remember the first time so clearly
It was after all, where everything began for me
Now...when I look back I see all the mistakes I had made
Not enough plastic...
Did I ever go back and clean up that last drop that I saw in the doorway?
But of course it was my first
There were going to be errors
But I was in it for the kill
I spent a week, following her, learning her schedule, being her shadow
She was so beautiful..
Five foot tall, long blonde hair and the most gorgeous pouty lips
She went to a book reading that...

Pitch Black Love
There's something eating me from the inside
Raging flames inside me
Driving me, pushing me forward
Pushing me over the edge, to my own deadly fate
GET RID OF IT
This hideous creature
Beautiful deadly pain
I'm prisoner of my own mind
I'm possessed by the darkness
But the pain will fuel something in me
Keeps me clinging on
Hold me close
Kiss me dear, whisper your threats into my ear
Push the dagger in, end the misery
Pages of my own love, burned in the chaos
Something else propels my fate now
What makes...
Raging flames inside me
Driving me, pushing me forward
Pushing me over the edge, to my own deadly fate
GET RID OF IT
This hideous creature
Beautiful deadly pain
I'm prisoner of my own mind
I'm possessed by the darkness
But the pain will fuel something in me
Keeps me clinging on
Hold me close
Kiss me dear, whisper your threats into my ear
Push the dagger in, end the misery
Pages of my own love, burned in the chaos
Something else propels my fate now

Rebirth
There are times when I wish for my fairy tale
Where I can kiss my prince charming and he make me his queen
I wish I were a dove, so I could spread my wings and fly to a paradise
So I could inhale the perfume of the sweet summer's air
I wish I could have the innocence of a child
So I could live carefree and only have joy
I wish I could paint all my hopes, and all my dreams
Then kiss them and make those wishes come true
I wish the voices would silence themselves
All these conversations, locked inside my head
Full of all these...
Where I can kiss my prince charming and he make me his queen
I wish I were a dove, so I could spread my wings and fly to a paradise
So I could inhale the perfume of the sweet summer's air
I wish I could have the innocence of a child

I wish I could paint all my hopes, and all my dreams
Then kiss them and make those wishes come true
I wish the voices would silence themselves
All these conversations, locked inside my head

Light
Oh I wish I could show you what I am
I must tell you the darkness inside me..
I'm dark, deranged, sinister and insane
Can you love the dark in me?
Even as I hunger for the light in you?
I will no longer want for anything
I am a wanderer, searching for nothing
If time shall freeze, then I will see
I've been searching for you, but you found me
I hate the city
Amongst all theses faces, for none are you
I long for your touch, the way you taste
Is it possible I am just now realizing my hopes and dreams?
When our two bodies finally...
I must tell you the darkness inside me..
I'm dark, deranged, sinister and insane
Can you love the dark in me?
Even as I hunger for the light in you?
I will no longer want for anything
I am a wanderer, searching for nothing
If time shall freeze, then I will see
I've been searching for you, but you found me
I hate the city
Amongst all theses faces, for none are you
I long for your touch, the way you taste
Is it possible I am just now realizing my hopes and dreams?

Going through... changes
The world is full of zombies
they eat at our brains
Make us feel so blue
Please don't leave me here
I have post apocalyptic blues
Would you like to dance?
It might be easier if I hadn't lost my foot
It's somewhere in the jaws of a gator
I lost it down by the bayou
I'm full of parts that aren't my own
Full of grinding gears
Could you wind me up?
I'll give you the key
If you prove worthy
Hear the tick tick tick
I'm trying to keep my composure
Am I human?
Am I woman?
...
