So Little
How can a butterfly fly
If Its wings are clipped and it's left to die
And how can you ask a whale to sing to the moon
If you've aimed at its throat and shot a harpoon
And how can you expect
The boy to cry wolf and save you all
If you've called him a liar and told him to stop his crying call
If you constantly make me feel in the wrong
How can you expect me to willingly play along
And why do you ask the mocking bird to sing his song
And the diamond ring to sparkle bright
And put those stars to shame at night
You expect so much from so little...
If Its wings are clipped and it's left to die

Seductive Music
I hear my favorite song
Playing in the background
So I Pause for the moment
To embrace the sweet sound
It tickles my ear
And reaches for my body
I let it take me along with my fear
And hold it close
As It pushes further in
Music is my only release
So I'm waiting for it to be dubbed a sin
The tune will not pause
For any moment in life
But I'll pause for the moment if the tune is right
I don't struggle or put up a fight
I let this song love me all through the night
When It slows down and begins to leave
I let it take a part of...

Six Feet Under.
You know Enough is enough
When You've tried your best
And Enough's enough
When You can't fit in with the rest
So silently crying
Reminiscing on All my lying
I contemplate ways to end things
Shall I slit my wrists
So Many scars no one will miss
Shall I drink some bleach
Or hang myself and record my last speech
I could drown
I just want to be six feet underground
I could overdose
And Lay to rest In that coffin pose
It seems so harsh to take a bullet in-between the eyes
Maybe one to the heart could be my...

Mint
As the mint hits your breath
I wonder
Does your tongue know that is all it will ever taste
It sends a cold shiver down your boney spine
And then I wonder Does your tongue agree with this decision
Gum, Mints, Smoke, Coffee. Repeat
Gum, Mints, Smoke, Coffee. Repeat
Gum, Mints, Smoke, Coffee. Repeat
Why
Why must your life consists of trying to reach death
Gum, Mints, Smoke, Coffee. Repeat
Maybe those bones pushing through the skin gasping to breathe, are death
Maybe it's death trying to escape your body
Gum, Mints, Smoke, Coffee. Repeat
How...

The Suicide of a Rose
The sweet smell of a garden
Sent shivers down my spine
As I lost track of time
I went to a wonderland that was nothing but mine
There's no such thing as time or Space
Nothing of the sort existed in this place
I was in a garden of my own now
Here there was no problems for me nor sound
The Life sprouted from the ground
The bushes flourished
And the flowers bloomed
Everything seemed to be quite nourished
Then like a snap of lighting
I was struck
By something frighting
An internal message Is all I could see ...

Monster
As I sipped on my energy drink
He stared
So I asked "Why?"
He said "Those things cause heart attacks."
So I said "Maybe I'd like to die."
"That's not even funny."
"Cry me a river!"
He gave me a look that could make Hell shiver
He only said he loved me once
And he didn't seem to care
So why did he even stare
We had the same conversation everyday
Til suddenly his harsh look faded away
We no longer spoke
And now I bet he'd laugh like my dying were a joke...

Scar Kissed Skin
It kissed my skin
Then the blood poured
My wrist in pain
My heart soared
As my scar kissed skin bleeding brand new
I grew wings and I flew
I caught up to my heart, In a chase
But my bleeding wrists had won the race
I didn't get to my heart quick enough
And I flew and flew
Til Heaven opened up
And there ,Oh, there my skin was shiny new
My scar kissed skin I kissed goodbye
And I began to think I should've done this sooner
Now I'll fly
And now I'll never cry
Then the blood poured
My wrist in pain
My heart soared
As my scar kissed skin bleeding brand new
I grew wings and I flew
I caught up to my heart, In a chase
But my bleeding wrists had won the race
I didn't get to my heart quick enough
And I flew and flew
Til Heaven opened up
And there ,Oh, there my skin was shiny new
My scar kissed skin I kissed goodbye
And I began to think I should've done this sooner
Now I'll fly
And now I'll never cry

Red Star
Little red star
You're self inflicted pain
Little red star
You fell from the heavens
And now you're a stain
Little Little star
It's an honor to have you around
You must have traveled very far
I used to watch you twinkle up high above
The way you simply sparkled
Well,I think it made me fall in love
And I know every star can bring fortune and fame
But little red star I must be honest
I've sought out your help
Because I've lost someone who I held so near
He seems scared, Like he doesn't want you here
What I want to know is if I wish...
You're self inflicted pain
Little red star
You fell from the heavens
And now you're a stain

The way you simply sparkled
Well,I think it made me fall in love
And I know every star can bring fortune and fame

My Song
Sing me a lullaby
Put me to sleep
I pray the lord my soul to keep
I will die
And never wake
I pray to God
My life he'll take
Sing me a lullaby
Write it on my wrists
Stain me in blood
By blades I'm kissed
My heart beat slows
And I can feel my eyes drop
There's no turning back
This song will never stop
There's a tune all too familiar to this song
And eventually everyone will sing along
My lyrics have a twist
Death is the writer
And I took a blade to my wrist
Sing my sweet lullaby
Hum to my tune
My writer...
Put me to sleep
I pray the lord my soul to keep
I will die
And never wake
I pray to God
My life he'll take
Sing me a lullaby
Write it on my wrists
Stain me in blood
By blades I'm kissed
My heart beat slows
And I can feel my eyes drop
There's no turning back
This song will never stop
There's a tune all too familiar to this song
And eventually everyone will sing along
My lyrics have a twist
Death is the writer
And I took a blade to my wrist
Sing my sweet lullaby
Hum to my tune
My writer...

Weight
I breath in deep
Smoke pierces my lungs
I let out
and cross an "x" on my wrist
I breath in deep
and my body is showered with crimson beads that go deeper
I take a bite of hell to hold me over for a while
I decorate my body with more beads as a kind of punishment
I breathe deep
All these decorations are getting heavy
I'm breathing (in,out,in,out,in,out)
I get light headed
And drop the decorations
I was breathing so heavy
Those beads were so heavy
I guess I just collapsed
Under the heavy weight
Smoke pierces my lungs
I let out
and cross an "x" on my wrist
I breath in deep
and my body is showered with crimson beads that go deeper
I take a bite of hell to hold me over for a while
I decorate my body with more beads as a kind of punishment
I breathe deep
All these decorations are getting heavy
I'm breathing (in,out,in,out,in,out)
I get light headed
And drop the decorations
I was breathing so heavy
Those beads were so heavy
I guess I just collapsed
Under the heavy weight

A New Dream
From head to toe
Submerged in water
Being dragged under more and more
Fighting for a grasp on air
But slowly recognizing it's not there
Breathing in deep, in search of relief
But drowning further, deep into grief
Recognizing I might not make it out
My thoughts questioning my beliefs
Putting my whole body in doubt
'Wake Up!" I scream
I open my eyes slowly
The numbers on the alarm clock gleam
Flashing over and over that it's "6:15"
Opening my eyes further
I'm awakened from my dream
But the feeling's still there...
Submerged in water

Putting my whole body in doubt
