puzzle
Just let go of it
Find something else to fit
Inside that hole that sits
Inside of your chest, its
Wrapped in plastic,
Fabricated context,
It’s all a big fucking mess.
Just let go of it.
I finally feel like I’m doing these things right.
Cant wrap my head around why I cant sleep, and
at night,
Feeling like forever isn’t ever
going to work out quite how I
Hoped that it would
And wouldn’t you know it?
And ain’t that some bullshit?
it figures, it figures,
it fucking figures you’d do this.
Good...

Swell
Same old dealing with pain,
but I couldn't be
Better than I am but
what do you even care?
You don't know where I've been
I scrape my self esteem up
From the things people say
And I apply it on me
Like wet cement
But its not the same
It doesn't feel how it should
I feel it crawling all over me
It was always gonna go this way
My eyes swelled up and that was it
I always freeze right up at the last second
but I couldn't be
Better than I am but
what do you even care?
You don't know where I've been
I scrape my self esteem up
From the things people say
And I apply it on me
Like wet cement
But its not the same
It doesn't feel how it should
I feel it crawling all over me
It was always gonna go this way
My eyes swelled up and that was it
I always freeze right up at the last second

Pastels.
Another look back at a crooked face
Fading away.
A shadow takes its place as I'm pulled away
And its changed
Fading fast, I wasn't ready, and I need to take care of things I say that I'm going to
The minute I tell myself to
Or else I'll never feel like
I've accomplished anything
And I let down everyone I ever come in contact to.
I dance alone a lot and its great
But I can feel the colors fading as my flowers palette to a pastel shade
I'm just going to give up
Maybe I'll let the pedals wilt away to nothing
Or whatever comes...
Fading away.
A shadow takes its place as I'm pulled away
And its changed
Fading fast, I wasn't ready, and I need to take care of things I say that I'm going to
The minute I tell myself to
Or else I'll never feel like
I've accomplished anything
And I let down everyone I ever come in contact to.
I dance alone a lot and its great
But I can feel the colors fading as my flowers palette to a pastel shade
I'm just going to give up
Maybe I'll let the pedals wilt away to nothing
Or whatever comes...

dearly departed
dearly departed,
we're gathered here
without a moment of preparation
on your loss
it came as
a shock
to most of us
and I fell
to my knees
at the news of
your passing
I gripped
the roots
in the ground
and held myself
right there
one last time
you provided
me
with a tether
one more time
you proved
time and again that
this is just
a transition
and
not all of us
will be ready
for what comes with it.

Graham crackers (grow up i wrote this as I'm tripping)
Everyone says they're getting old.
But we have always been getting old.
Since that Day. THE Day.
Getting long in the tooth.
Getting gray at the peak.
Getting worse for wear.
I disagree, there.
We sing songs that we can't sing at sunset.
We sing them all night long.
And I'd still sing them fucking anywhere.
Who cares, who cares.
let the whole mountain fall.
But we have always been getting old.
Since that Day. THE Day.
Getting long in the tooth.
Getting gray at the peak.
Getting worse for wear.
I disagree, there.
We sing songs that we can't sing at sunset.
We sing them all night long.
And I'd still sing them fucking anywhere.
Who cares, who cares.
let the whole mountain fall.

Rumors
Easily impressed, when there’s damage to access
Why don’t you cry about your problems in the corner?
It’s torture.
Don’t make me repeat
the same old tongue-in-cheek lines
Force-fed
and
shaped
like respect but
it tastes like
grease.
It’s sleezy.
You don’t get off so easy,
making it hard
to feel like
I’m allowed
to have
feelings.
Don’t play
blame games
with me.
Everyone has a finger to point,
and everyone blames
everyone else so quickly.
Stop demanding the...

black//darker black
Witness
"brevity".
Correct acidity -
Poisoned wells from
the pigs
lead to their
own
salvation
Dragged
across
the field
and
forced to walk
Night time thoughts
come into question
Your confidence is a compass
A sigil, a tether of trust
Built in iron,
and which breaks
as glass.
Confidence is a shadow
Prominently cast
A useless weapon
A couple more pounds
You let hang off your back
Add more meat to the rack
Same old colors
Black and darker black ...
"brevity".

The Dam by the Bridal Shop
How we fall
like the river
ends
at the cliffs
and we did too.
Anyone's edges
will show true
after years of
the rain
eats
away
at you.
The rock will become black
and the ground
falls
through.
How we fall
out of the blue
a few
bad words
a few
sad
truths
like the river
ends
at the cliffs
and we did too.

Castle
My hands will not
shake
when they’re sore
and my throat will not
bleed
when it’s strained.
Prisoners forever.
Prisoners
together,
Prisoners of fortune,
and we’ve built
our own
cage.
Same old
aches
and
pains.
Same old
aches
and
pains.
A castle is a ruin,
just a pile
of
things,
laid
to waste.
We’re born
into
a
mass grave.
Oh, what shame,
stone
chips away,
and stone
chips
away. ...

spider.
You’re crawling
along
the walls
of my skull,
and it’s
always
fucking there.
Like a nasty
spider
creature,
with knives
for limbs,
it hurts
like hell.
Can you make
your story
as tangible
as the web
of lies
it’s
based on?
Because in the light,
your bullshit
draws
no flies.
What a terrible
thing
to say.
What a
fucked up
thing
to say.

Echo Lake
I don’t want to
feel
all alone
anymore
I don’t want to
feel
all alone,
no
no.
Things are getting
lighter,
the sun
is rising,
My eyes
are
shining,
across, across,
the pond.
You’re free
to stay here
until the rain
stops,
of course
of course
of course.
I don’t want to
feel
all alone
anymore.
I dont want to
feel
all alone,
no
no.
I don’t think
I want it
to
feel
normal.
