Shots
I'll take one shot, straight to the brain
Two shots to equal the pain
Three shots just to feel the same
While everyone around me is tippin up their cup
I'm only trying to figure out what's up
Cause I just can't drown it
This never ending sea of bitterness
There has got to be something less
I can do to deal with the stress
But until then, I guess it's just this
So I'll take one shot, straight to the brain
Two shots to equal the pain
Three shots just to feel the same
Now my head is in a rush
My stomach begins to gush...
Two shots to equal the pain
Three shots just to feel the same
While everyone around me is tippin up their cup
I'm only trying to figure out what's up
Cause I just can't drown it
This never ending sea of bitterness
There has got to be something less
I can do to deal with the stress
But until then, I guess it's just this
So I'll take one shot, straight to the brain
Two shots to equal the pain
Three shots just to feel the same
Now my head is in a rush
My stomach begins to gush...

Firehouse
Padding footsteps on the ground
Concrete pushing up on my feet
I am searching, always searching
Eyes darting, fingers jittery
On my quest to find, to find
A decent butt on the ground
That one's too short, too destroyed
Ahh, this one's perfect
A couple inches remaining
Not too demolished
Retrieve and hide
They cannot acknowledge
Hiding secrets in my pockets
They shall never know
Take it home,
Light it up,
Inhale.

My dark angel
Missing for so long
For six whole months
I sang this song:
"My dark angel
Where can you be?
My dark angel
Hearken to me.
Don't give in.
Don't give in.
Don't give in."

Like watching through a glass window
I am weak and useless. Helpless
Stop counting calories
Restraining you is not a possibility
I am restrained, I cannot aid you
Anger fills this soul of mine
Savior, I long to be
Please.
Please.
Please.
Help me help you
Before you wither away
Protruding bones pierce your shell
Next to nothing you're becoming
It's darkening my heart
Killing me; Death is calling to me
Deep down inside, I am dead.

Before you wither away
Protruding bones pierce your shell
Next to nothing you're becoming
It's darkening my heart
Killing me; Death is calling to me
Deep down inside, I am dead.

The Girl On the Wall
The permanent solemn look tattooed on her face
The lying, the cheating, and the disgrace
She shows so much pain in her eyes
Each time I see, a piece of me dies
Tears dip down her dirty face
Blank irises, she's in a daze
Each night she prays for death
But death, my dear, is too far-fetched
She only dreams of becoming blessed with luck
But the sad truth is, no one gives a fuck
She shamefully tucks down her sleeves
Only to hide the wounds she recieves
Now we know what she has to hide
Too bad we'll never know how she feels inside
The lying, the cheating, and the disgrace
She shows so much pain in her eyes
Each time I see, a piece of me dies
Tears dip down her dirty face
Blank irises, she's in a daze
Each night she prays for death
But death, my dear, is too far-fetched
She only dreams of becoming blessed with luck
But the sad truth is, no one gives a fuck
She shamefully tucks down her sleeves
Only to hide the wounds she recieves
Now we know what she has to hide
Too bad we'll never know how she feels inside

Boundaries (draft)
Like heaven she is to me
If only that she could see
"I'm no good." she whispers softly
All I long for is her body on me
Cheek to cheek, breast to breast
Only to me she is the best
Sweat drips down her flushed face
Waiting for meis another taste
Between those legs are the greatest thing
Oh, those lips. They make me sing
My hands are here, my hands are there
My hands are tangled in her hair
She screams in pleasure, as do I
Only us, no need for guys
Ruby red lips to my skin
I swear to God she's a sin
If only that she could see
"I'm no good." she whispers softly
All I long for is her body on me
Cheek to cheek, breast to breast
Only to me she is the best
Sweat drips down her flushed face
Waiting for meis another taste
Between those legs are the greatest thing
Oh, those lips. They make me sing
My hands are here, my hands are there
My hands are tangled in her hair
She screams in pleasure, as do I
Only us, no need for guys
Ruby red lips to my skin
I swear to God she's a sin

Suicide Note
To You,
This is my last call. Making my exit because you let me fall. Time and time again, Isaid Iwanted to be alone. All Ireally wanted was for you to pick up the phone. Sometimes it all becomes too much; becomes subliminal, hard to touch. For me, tangibility is a necessity. Without it, life would not be itself. Due this, I mutilate myself. Not for you, not for him; Simply because my life is so dim. No more light at the end of theroad. For me, I needed someone to hold. No longer I give in to you, Now I give in to fate. Standing no more, I make my escape. It'll be okay since I was never...

So Don't Push Me, I've Got Nothing to Lose
I'll remember what you've done
I'll always know you were the one
That built me up and broke me down
Far away, relief was found
Releasing my mind from you
Mutilation is what I do
Anything just to be free
Anything for you to see
It's you I can't stand
That all I need is loving hands
To hold and help me through it all
To pick me up after I fall.

To hold and help me through it all

Elysian Fields
I gaze into your eyes
Although I see differently
I still hear your cries.
A step from falling,
It's you I'd rather save
I'll be strong (only for you)
(I'll try harder) I'll be brave.
Every night I can only pray
I'll save you before you snap
I know I'd be nothing without you
I'll be there to fill the gap
Don't put on that fake smile
Don't pretend it's fine
Confide in me
Because your life is on the line
Although I see differently
I still hear your cries.
A step from falling,

Faceless Enemy: 2
He's gonna take my life tonight,
Cut me up and throw me down
Everything, he'll make it right
The second that I drown.
He's gonna take my life tonight,
Oh, but not without help
Slowly I will lose my sight
He'll leave me for myself.
He's gonna take my life tonight,
Wait for the relief
No I won't put up I fight
I want you to believe.
He's gonna take my life tonight,
The end is coming soon
Only minutes until midnight,
'Til you hear the final boom.
He took my life tonight,
But please don't worry, Dear.
I...

I Dream A Genie
If I had one wish
I would return everything
Just to the way it was.
I would take it all back
And fix every wrong-doing
So you would never leave me again.
I would hold you,
Tell you how much you mean to me,
And how I never want to lose you.
I never wanted to lose you.
If only I had just one wish....
I would return everything
Just to the way it was.
I would take it all back
And fix every wrong-doing
So you would never leave me again.
I would hold you,
Tell you how much you mean to me,
And how I never want to lose you.
I never wanted to lose you.
If only I had just one wish....

Annie Is a Bitch.
Annie's back, you know.
Only this time, she's not after you...
She's after me.
That first night she vistited
When I was broken
She tried to evade me.
"Quit fucking touching me!"
But she wouldn't listen.
"Get the hell out, NOW!"
Finally, she leaves,
But she is still working her magic.
Today, a few chips
Nothing more.
"You're too fat."
She says to me
As I scan my body in the mirror.
"Your stomach is disgusting!"
She's taking over me,
The messed-up Schizoid freak.
