Poisoned Mind
My mind is decaying,
I don't have much time
They can not see the poison in my mind
They can not see it as such they do not believe it
They do not believe me when I say i’m dying
They do not believe me when I say I want to give up trying
Why?
I don't have much time
They can not see the poison in my mind

They do not believe me when I say I want to give up trying
Why?

Pile of salvation
It's a strange thought that all could be silenced from such little things
Little capsules of salvation, all in a pile
Every night the pile would grow by one
Until the night would come that I could finally be done
Little capsules of salvation, all in a pile
Every night the pile would grow by one
Until the night would come that I could finally be done

Rotting leaves
Leaves
Leaving
Left to fall
Once important
No longer needed
No longer neccesary
Thrown away after being used
Left to wither forevermore
Discarded leaves now litter the floor

Beauty of small things
My pockets are filled with memories
They are held in strange buttons and twine
They beauty of the small things resonate through me
Whether or not you view them as I do, they are mine
They are held in strange buttons and twine
They beauty of the small things resonate through me
Whether or not you view them as I do, they are mine

A "perfect' god
They say you do not exist and that I am fooling myself
They say that I should praise their perfect God who separates the “good from the “evil”
They say their God can make no mistakes but when I look back all I see is carnage performed in their God's name
I tell them that I feel you guiding me when I need it the most and that you teach me of myself
I tell them that “good” and “evil” is subjective and that your balance of these makes you wise
I tell them that neither entities nor their puppets are infallible and that I worship you for your...

Me and my bestfriend
They say all good things must come to an end
That's not the case for me and my best friend
Our friendship is forever and,
Happens to be the best thing to happen in my life, ever
That's not the case for me and my best friend
Our friendship is forever and,
Happens to be the best thing to happen in my life, ever

Weight of the world
I am suffocating myself
I am tearing the flesh from my bones
I feel the burning pain of existence
I feel the crushing weight of expectations
I see the chaos in the world
I see the people trying to soothe it
I do nothing
I do not open my eyes
Because then I will see the reality,
Is in fact worse than what I imagined
I am tearing the flesh from my bones
I feel the burning pain of existence
I feel the crushing weight of expectations
I see the chaos in the world
I see the people trying to soothe it
I do nothing
I do not open my eyes
Because then I will see the reality,
Is in fact worse than what I imagined

I am.
I am the lonely creature you see wading through time
Stuck in the mud unable to fly
Watching as others drift effortlessly by
I am the discarded stray left in an alleyway
Chained and unable to do anything right at all
Waiting for the day that the walls surrounding me fall
Stuck in the mud unable to fly
Watching as others drift effortlessly by
I am the discarded stray left in an alleyway
Chained and unable to do anything right at all
Waiting for the day that the walls surrounding me fall

Left to rot
I was left there that summer, an end of an era
They left with sweet hugs and assurance of keeping their promise
The assurance of a steadfast connection
Of not being discarded even though we had to be parted
Though not a minute later it seemed,
They had forgotten their promise and left me out to rot
Like yesterday's garbage
They left with sweet hugs and assurance of keeping their promise
The assurance of a steadfast connection
Of not being discarded even though we had to be parted
Though not a minute later it seemed,
They had forgotten their promise and left me out to rot
Like yesterday's garbage

Last Chance
Mommy tells me everything will be fine
Papa can't look me in the eye
Brother gives me a knowing glance
I give myself one last chance
One more chance to do it right,
One last time to put up a fight
One more time before I run out of thread,
Because when I do I'll end up dead
If I fail perhaps they'll say I was far too young to die,
But in their eyes is there ever really a right time to say goodbye?
Papa can't look me in the eye
Brother gives me a knowing glance
I give myself one last chance
One more chance to do it right,
One last time to put up a fight
One more time before I run out of thread,
Because when I do I'll end up dead
If I fail perhaps they'll say I was far too young to die,
But in their eyes is there ever really a right time to say goodbye?

Consequences of a decision
They bring me upstairs, security in tow
They tell me that it is just protocol when they see me anxiously twiddling
Now I sit here, in this blank room,
A bed drilled to the floor and a camera watching my every move
I can feel the person on the other side watching as I stare,
Out of the double paned window,
Wanting to jump right out and fall through the air
It's the same routine every day,
They would ask how I am feeling,
They would ask if I wanted to end it,
They would ask what I would do if they let me go
They would ask why I did...
They tell me that it is just protocol when they see me anxiously twiddling

I can feel the person on the other side watching as I stare,
Out of the double paned window,
Wanting to jump right out and fall through the air
It's the same routine every day,
They would ask how I am feeling,
They would ask if I wanted to end it,
They would ask what I would do if they let me go
They would ask why I did...

Embers left to grow
I tell them my mind is burning and that I can not put it out
I told them the embers were there years ago,
That I convinced myself it would be better to let them go out on their own
I should have known better,
That those embers would grow
Now I'm left here with a mind aglow
It may be to late now that the fire is raging,
But perhaps, just maybe, this mind is worth saving?
I told them the embers were there years ago,
