Forever Falling
The loneliness
It never fades
It never goes away
It is here to stay
Forevermore will I be weak and shameful of this sick body I inhabit
Forevermore will I be less than nothing just blowing in the wind
I am lonely and I am drifting on and on into the abyss that is this existence
Lost and alone and burning with false passion and hope
I sink like a stone
The higher I get
The lower I sink
I will stay in this loop
Until we all fucking melt to death
It never fades
It never goes away
It is here to stay
Forevermore will I be weak and shameful of this sick body I inhabit
Forevermore will I be less than nothing just blowing in the wind
I am lonely and I am drifting on and on into the abyss that is this existence
Lost and alone and burning with false passion and hope
I sink like a stone
The higher I get
The lower I sink
I will stay in this loop
Until we all fucking melt to death

Blurred Reality
These days you can't be happy
The weight of the world is on your shoulders
You are a mule just pulling and pushing against the weight
You hope your restraints never break in fear that you'll lose everything
All of those feelings, memories and whatnot
Your sanity
All of your hard work
All down the drain
Spinning on and on into this eternity you created
We are just maggots sucking the life out of all we touch
Just to sustain
Your hands are tied
You've already tried it all
You've already failed
All of this anxiety and grief just...

They're All On Drugs Anyways
The scent of death in the flowers and trees
And the lasting effects of the pollinating bees
Could never destroy this occurrence of life and loss
We live our lives just to die in the end
We choose our paths with every step we take
But our decisions cease to be ours and the lurking darkness takes over
We bellow our last agonizing breath as we take the leap into the black
Forevermore
But then
Oh but when our eyes do open back up wide
We understand just how we feel inside
The dread and the longing
Oh and the shaking
The...

So f**king Deep
Just leave me here
I want to rot
I need to feel the worms and maggots building their nests in my lungs
I long to be nothing and feel everything
Something or nothing is just how life goes
You can go with the flow
I don't mind if I sink
Just let me be and release me from my prison
The torture of wanting to live,
But always dying inside
Always begging for the next time you fall to arrive much sooner than expected
The adrenaline is so much
You cause my chest to cave in
I'd let the bats live in their if the dark seraphs wouldn't eat their souls...

The Power
So much power is behind your eyes
You can build or destroy whole civilizations with a glance
If only given the chance
Your opportunity presents itself and you pause
You pause for so long that you become as stoic as stone
A little remembrance of a man who held all the power
A statue in the center of life that we all strive to touch and taste and be
So perfect and lasting forevermore
A life without him would be no life at all
Yet he sits in waiting
Never moving from his perch
Always thinking and making decisions for us all...

Circus of Freaks
The circus of life
We are only animals
Just going in circles
C
I
R
C
L
E
Of life
We try to decipher our lives although they aren't ours
We attempt to change the Earth into our own although it is not ours
We claim ownership of everything and have no right to touch
We run in a circular motion by whip
Constantly missing steps and stumbling
Hoping to go consistently with the flow
Yet always getting caught in the undertow
Never ending is this existence...

Let Them Sing
The music will always ring to me in haunting choruses
I hear it in my long exhales of smoke into the pure cold post-winter temperature
I hear it in the way I blink away the moisture pouring from my eyes
I even taste it in the way I place my lips upon yours in a call for truce
The music will always ring to me in haunting choruses
I feel it on my fingertips as I grasp your hand one last time in surrender
I smell it in the way only your skin can smell
But mostly,
My soul
I feel it most in my soul where your memory will romp and play until the end of days...

Buried Alive
With such grace do I let you down
Ever so gently and unexpectedly
You feel the grass graze upon your feet
Just before you find yourself six feet into this Earth
So much dirt
The overwhelming pressure upon your aching chest will never end
The painful shooting shards of pain into the throat cause the tears to leak from their rightful place
Trapped behind dry eyes no more
Falling freely down your cheeks moistening the substance surrounding you
Drowning you
The heat and fury of rage and frustration starve you of sanity
I let you down so soft and...

.f**kyou.
So much rage I want to spew from my mouth
So much restraint you couldn't bear to fathom
So much for staying sane
So much for the illusion of perfection
So much for straying from pain
Sorry
But I always knew this would occur
So much restraint you couldn't bear to fathom
So much for staying sane
So much for the illusion of perfection
So much for straying from pain
Sorry
But I always knew this would occur

I'm Not Okay
Oh I hate to disappoint
I just do it so well
And I'm too afraid to tell
What exactly this all means
Because the demon, he screams
Deep within my bloody skin
Trapped so far underneath
Without a hope of escape
I run as hard as I possibly can
I swam as far as I could swim
I jumped from the highest mountain top
Yet he shrieks and shrieks and I can't seem to make him stop
I try to pick up the pieces of what I've now become
Such tedious work it is
But please, I fucking beg you
Don't kick my pieces around while I'm still knealing on the...

I Win
Oh disaster
Oh beautiful, final disaster
I knew you'd be back for me
Craving more of my innocence
Depleting me of my conscience
You are far too late to claim me now
For I have grown from the struggle
I have survived your beatings and I have
survived another day
I am stronger and I am wiser
You are poorer without me and I am happy
You lost what you could never have, what you never deserved
I gave myself away for far less than I was worth
You always knew you'd break me down
You, in fact, saved me from your torment
You, in fact,...
