it's not a mercy
he’s got a voice like darkness
that whispers a suicide pact in my ear
and in my younger years
I would have glorified that ending
in two guns and blood splattered on the walls
I can’t live for today
so let me live for tomorrow
where the sun might slip through the storm clouds
and light up the highway candles away from hell
I’m in and I’m under and I want to go home
to where the grass is still green
and the memories of the forgotten
are intact and remembered
there’s an angel in the snow
that’s...
that whispers a suicide pact in my ear
and in my younger years
I would have glorified that ending

I can’t live for today

it's so dark inside
I dared to touch the blackness
and it stared right back into me
put a shadow on my soul
and left me breathless on the floor
it’s there during the sleepless nights
like a void in the ceiling
pulling my soul upwards and into what might be
hell
the blue sky swims with eternity
and my heartbeat stamps down erratically
in my chest
telling me to just look away
and still I stare up into the void
wondering how it got there
wondering why I am here
and how do I get there
because it's not a...

2nd cycle
by Eve and Nathaniel Daniels Danielson (noonenothingnone)
I’ve got you cut into my arm
bruised lips pressed hard against mine
cut under our own blades
hand around throat
soft
slowly tense
and feel you stiffen under the grip
gun barrel points towards heaven
nothing to the east
the sun is nothing
finger nails scarring flesh
pulling us closer
dizzy air and dripping lust
held tight in your embrace
don’t let go yet
I want the pure heat
no warmth
the sun is nothing to me
brand my skin...

don't ask, don't tell
the things I hated
I’ve learned to love
wrapped up in my secret games
don’t ask
don’t ask
don’t ask
and today, like every other day
he didn’t ask
and I am saved from having
to bare my darkness
for his eyes to see
my desire to confess overpowered
only by my desire to hide
behind my defences
he’s a little lost boy
wandering alone in the dark
with more secrets then sense
and I’ve morphed into someone
I can’t bear to show him
just as he can't bear to show me
his darkness inside
we...

friends of convenience
all my new friends are bad for me
and I'm doing things because they're there to do
not because I really want to
I know you’re bad for me
tempting me into madness because you can
because I care to fall
and run wild through the streets
just because I can
I'm an empty vessel that wants to be filled up
with whatever seems to be hanging around
I want to fuck and write and mumble
my hate to the world in fiery whispers
burning from the tip of my cigarette
that I’ll put out on the hood of your car
that set...

you’re a mystery I’ll never grow bored of
I think about how long you’ve known me
and realise you don’t know me at all
it’s like we’re communing with blinkers on
only seeing what we want to see
only showing what we want to show
you had my heart
stole it still beating from my chest
and for all my love
I don’t know you at all
in the depravity of new revelations
I don’t want you to see me like this
because true love is a myth
and I fear you’d run
from the new person I’ve become
so keep your secrets, sweetheart
and I’ll keep mine
life is a little...

an illegible guide to life
I grew tired of being told I was doing it wrong
as though there is a guide to life and doing it right
so I just stopped talking
because what is the point
if my voice is never heard?
she wasn’t going to be winning any mother of the year awards
and regardless of all her drunken apologies
for fucking it all up
she never meant a word of it
when we inevitably fell back
into the same old game
of let-me-tell-you-what-to-do
she had a thing for men that would take over her life
and demand she submit to all their whims
I learned...

living on the low side
I feel more comfortable around drunks
junkies and prostitutes
strippers and thieves
I’m more comfortable in that world
than I’d have you believe
we’re all broken and busted
from the games life likes to play
we’re not keeping it real
not trying to pretend we’re something we’re not
everyone’s a liar, even me, my love
as I bed down with a name I can’t remember
a face I’ll soon forget
“where were you last night?”
what does it matter
I was anywhere but here
with anyone but you
reminding me that I could...
