To My Unborn
Nearly all of my friends and my family
Well they have little ones running amuck
Younger me, she didn’t know that she’d care
She always thought she wouldn’t give a —
Still she had all these names picked out
Ranging from favorite to least of the bunch
Though she never settled on a boy’s name
She’d have a girl, she said on a hunch
She grew up and fell in love but
She never dared change her pick
She would’ve named you Aydalee
But everything changed when she got sick
You might be blue eyed, so bright and...

A Spit of Anger
Do you think that just one spill
Will just about kill, all the pain inside
I write and write but it’s all in vain
For nothing can rid me of pain
I repeat myself all the time
I change it up, I make it rhyme
But no matter how many words
I pen down to this page
You won’t hear me
Until I’m screaming with rage
And I don’t want to be angry
I don’t want to whine
But if you heard me before
There wouldn’t be a second time
You see, my words are here
For me to twist and mold
And before you know it
It...
Will just about kill, all the pain inside
I write and write but it’s all in vain
For nothing can rid me of pain
I repeat myself all the time
I change it up, I make it rhyme
But no matter how many words
I pen down to this page
You won’t hear me
Until I’m screaming with rage
And I don’t want to be angry
I don’t want to whine
But if you heard me before
There wouldn’t be a second time
You see, my words are here
For me to twist and mold
And before you know it

Apocalyptic Love
Will you keep me warm?
Will you light a fire for me, my love?
Do you think we’re safe?
Or is it still crashing from above?
From broken hearts to broken windows
Shattered glass, we pulled it from our hair
Trying to run from all these shadows
But we were never getting anywhere
The rooms were empty, smoke was rising
I’m not even sure why we’re all fighting
The sound of screams, were all around us
Look at the world, just a pile of dust
So can you keep me warm?
Will you light a fire for me, my love?
Will we...
Will you light a fire for me, my love?
Do you think we’re safe?
Or is it still crashing from above?
From broken hearts to broken windows
Shattered glass, we pulled it from our hair
Trying to run from all these shadows
But we were never getting anywhere
The rooms were empty, smoke was rising
I’m not even sure why we’re all fighting
The sound of screams, were all around us
Look at the world, just a pile of dust
So can you keep me warm?
Will you light a fire for me, my love?
Will we...

Save Me
Just save me, as the pain uncurls
I’m scared of walking this world —
Lonely, you can’t begin to understand
Pills, lines and needles, I’ve tried it
It doesn’t work for me, they just hide it
When I finally reach the surface
Everything’s blurry, and everything’s back
I’m fighting so hard to win this war
My head is numb, my vision is black
My body hurts, I can’t come back
Oh, and I needed that
I’m scared of walking this world —
Lonely, you can’t begin to understand
Pills, lines and needles, I’ve tried it
It doesn’t work for me, they just hide it
When I finally reach the surface
Everything’s blurry, and everything’s back
I’m fighting so hard to win this war
My head is numb, my vision is black
My body hurts, I can’t come back
Oh, and I needed that

Feeling Generic
This is starting to feel generic
Spilling over with many o'lyric
I must be writing too much
These pools of ink, a black sea
These shattered thoughts surround me
As my words act as my crutch
Oh, I must be going insane
For you all have entered my brain
And I'll have to treat you as such
But the underground entices me
She holds me dear and tightly
I'll try not to escape her clutch
Spilling over with many o'lyric
I must be writing too much
These pools of ink, a black sea
These shattered thoughts surround me
As my words act as my crutch
Oh, I must be going insane
For you all have entered my brain
And I'll have to treat you as such
But the underground entices me
She holds me dear and tightly
I'll try not to escape her clutch

The Great Sea
We’re all just looking for a simple escape
A way to get rid of the pain
Some way to flee this dreadful world
Yearning to be swept away by rain
We write these words, we make them rhyme
Our crying and our weeping of tears
We will always be bound though, you and I
We will come to learn this over the years
There’s no escape, there is no way
To get away from our demons, you see
We will forever own them and hone them
For they have led us to the great sea
The sea of darkness, the sea of emptiness
It’s the sea of...
A way to get rid of the pain

Yearning to be swept away by rain
We write these words, we make them rhyme

We will always be bound though, you and I

My Song
Stepped into the area under false pretenses
I didnt know it then, but I would need defenses
My cousin had me out, searching for her drunk ass
I didnt know it then, but this would become "my past"
My phone had just died when you grabbed hold
The room was dark, but you weren't very old
There's two people here, three including me
I reached out to steady myself, but I could barely see
Someone grabbed my throat, into the wall I went
Just a second passed and then I was on the bed ...

The Reaper
I used to be a dreamer
You thought I was a screamer
But I put the knife in your chest
And it turns out I'm your reaper
You thought I was a screamer
But I put the knife in your chest
And it turns out I'm your reaper

The Lost
Are my words of any value?
Am I of any worth?
Do I matter most to you,
More than anything on this earth?
I worry when you’re gone,
Even more when you don’t call.
But honestly I deserve better,
Than what I will get from you at all.
You tell me that you love me,
You tell me that you care.
The truth is you care too much,
About success that isn’t there.
You want so badly to get ahead,
You don’t see me standing here.
I waited for you to notice,
I waited so long for you to hear.

Trick to Life
Weeks go by, days will fade,
All of these are memories made.
Times will come and they will go,
And throughout life, all things will show.
Spin your web, twist and turn,
Catch your prey, live and learn.
Love your enemies and trust your heart.
Trust is hard but do your part.
Cry your hurt, scream your fear...
But don’t let your enemies see a tear.
Check your attitude and use it wise,
Watch the young and be careful to advise.
Weakened love and strengthened hate,
All of...

To Whom Do We Blame
You left me there stranded in the dark
You told me that we would never part
But then I find you’re not real at all
Now my walls are starting to fall
I want to blame someone, scream at them
Loudly
I want to be someone, despite this mess
Proudly
But there’s nobody left to blame
There’s nobody left but me to pay
Am I at fault here?
Is this my sentence?
You say you loved me,
but that’s only for repentance
And you’re just another sensation
A large figment of our imagination

The Unleashing
All these thoughts in my head I can’t reach
All these mixed up words of anguish
I wish I knew how I could unleash
If this is the only way I can find peace
Is this the only way to find peace?
I think of lines that set my mind free
Then it comes down to it....
And I just freeze
All these mixed up words of anguish
I wish I knew how I could unleash
If this is the only way I can find peace
Is this the only way to find peace?
I think of lines that set my mind free
Then it comes down to it....
And I just freeze
