Haze
Potent as the silence
That lies between us
Desperate as the incense
Trying to mask this
Lingering bouquet
I wish it was flowers
Echoes slowly decay
Into the lingering hours
Slow my mind
Dream another time
The truth I find
Has no rhythm or rhyme
I'm slowly fading away
Find it harder to breathe
Smoke another and watch it fall away
Vision goes and I've nothing left to say
Slow my mind
Dream another dream
The truth I find
Is everything is always
As it seems!
Don't...
That lies between us
Desperate as the incense
Trying to mask this
Lingering bouquet
I wish it was flowers
Echoes slowly decay
Into the lingering hours
Slow my mind
Dream another time
The truth I find
Has no rhythm or rhyme
I'm slowly fading away
Find it harder to breathe
Smoke another and watch it fall away
Vision goes and I've nothing left to say
Slow my mind
Dream another dream
The truth I find
Is everything is always
As it seems!

Straw House
Knock three times and blow your house down
Watching you scratch from atop the cloud
Open up and watch them all drown
I'm screaming without making a sound
All I wanted was a piece
All I needed was to hear
All I got was rot and disease
All you had was the fear
I'd find you out
Snap your fingers and my attention breaks
Demanding more than what it takes
Hold back the rage till my eyes leak
Slam the door and toss the key away
All I wanted was a ghost
All I needed was a hand
All I got was codependence ...
Watching you scratch from atop the cloud
Open up and watch them all drown
I'm screaming without making a sound
All I wanted was a piece
All I needed was to hear
All I got was rot and disease
All you had was the fear
I'd find you out
Snap your fingers and my attention breaks
Demanding more than what it takes
Hold back the rage till my eyes leak
Slam the door and toss the key away
All I wanted was a ghost
All I needed was a hand
All I got was codependence ...

Diary 1 - Eden
Of all the flowers in the garden
The perfection, shy a petal
A taste like undiscovered heaven
And chromed gun metal
I found the snakes
you said would never bite
I burned the saints
you said would protect me
So you think you're like me
Have you swallowed the last you have
Just to build the courage to strike the match?
Have you cut through the stitches
Just to have it bleed, not because it itches?
So you think you know me
Do you know how long it takes
Before one...
The perfection, shy a petal
A taste like undiscovered heaven
And chromed gun metal
I found the snakes
you said would never bite
I burned the saints
you said would protect me
So you think you're like me
Have you swallowed the last you have
Just to build the courage to strike the match?
Have you cut through the stitches
Just to have it bleed, not because it itches?
So you think you know me
Do you know how long it takes
Before one...

burn the notebook
sometimes i resent how the math adds up and how i failed
how it all makes sense, and how i hate how it is what it is
i've done enough reminiscing to see every detail
hammered each nail myself, no room for forgiveness
this time
i hate how you're getting exactly what you need, both ways
i'd say i tried, but i still see the look on your face when i walked away
for fuck sake
i still write about you
is that punishment enough?!
is that not enough?!
what is left to be said? nothing from you; echoes in dreams
you're happy...

Cigarette Break
It's almost as romantic
As it is sad
You'll never know
The tears,
The times I cried out for you
It's as heartbreaking
As it is reassuring
You'll never run out of love
For them,
As I won't, for you
Touch my hand
One more time
So I can remember
The warmth of your cold heart
So we can try again
Just to fall apart
As sadistic
As your need for masochism
You crave the only thing
You crave the only way
To rip me apart!
Touch my hand
One more time
So I can...
As it is sad
You'll never know
The tears,
The times I cried out for you
It's as heartbreaking
As it is reassuring
You'll never run out of love
For them,
As I won't, for you
Touch my hand
One more time
So I can remember
The warmth of your cold heart
So we can try again
Just to fall apart
As sadistic
As your need for masochism
You crave the only thing
You crave the only way
To rip me apart!
Touch my hand
One more time
So I can...

Another Window
Another window, another dream
I never know what to call home anymore
Different voices, different faces
Disillusioned; I no longer know where my place is
Angry wind overpowers the heavy rain
As his screaming dulls the impact of your tears
One to drown, one to collapse
There’s no time to sleep tonight
Pull the curtains
Pull the curtains, darling
Pull them tight
I intend to offend
I mean to enlighten
I strive to define
What we never bring to light
Another chance to believe
Another opportunity...
I never know what to call home anymore
Different voices, different faces
Disillusioned; I no longer know where my place is

Pull the curtains
Pull the curtains, darling
Pull them tight

What we never bring to light

Grief
It starts here;
The beginning is always blank
Then you turn it on
it hurts at first, but then you let go
You stop and feel the music for a minute
Pound a few more keys
Hit it a few more times
Empty, you feel empty, yet filled to the brim
Like you've held it in so long
The idea of relief becomes panic
It becomes pain and then tears
You scream nothing but "why?"
Over and over and over again
It carries on
With or without you
It's your story
But you're not playing your part
That's okay ...
The beginning is always blank

The idea of relief becomes panic

Over and over and over again

With or without you

Crawling
sheltering the habit, we believe is weakness of the mind
no stronger than the body giving in; the truth i find
we're all waiting for miracles from gods we don't believe in
we pray hollow words with the hope they're stronger than wishes
pennies in the well; dollars in the plate, such a shallow faith
there's not much left of the hope we once clutched
desperately searching for the end of this tunnel
widening our eyes in vain; the light died out a long time ago
no longer is there poetry in life, no longer is there romance in death
it's just light and...

Hi, we've met before
But you always look confused
You used to call me late at night
But now you blink too much when you talk
Feeling a little jealous and overstimulated
But you like that; cute and deranged
A little hot in here
But your hands are cold
Liar! Liar! Liar!
These hands could start a fire!
I think they might, I think they might
Hi, we've met before
But you don't believe in deja vu
Keep wondering how I...

Principessa
You used to listen to those songs
To tell me the things
You were too afraid to say
You used to share the books
To let me know I wasn't as open
As I used to say
Baby, I played every card
Why'd you make it so hard??
You don't want to win
You're just sick of the game
But she lives there
Deep inside
Like a cancer
Deep in your ear
You used to say the things smiles are made of
You used to touch me like no one else was there
In the middle of anywhere
You used to whisper little things ...
To tell me the things
You were too afraid to say
You used to share the books
To let me know I wasn't as open
As I used to say
Baby, I played every card
Why'd you make it so hard??
You don't want to win
You're just sick of the game
But she lives there
Deep inside
Like a cancer
Deep in your ear
You used to say the things smiles are made of
You used to touch me like no one else was there
In the middle of anywhere
You used to whisper little things ...

Lisbeth
Shag rugs and velvet curtains
Red candles dripping down
The black furniture
Not unlike you to say yes
Content with time spent
Spent contorted and twisted
He's always gone when you're here
I never seem properly prepared
Deep in the belief you're the prey
Change again and show faces they never see
I never know who you are
And still you smile so precisely
Never hungry, but always wanting a bite
You kiss with a hunger
Others would shy from, spare the pain
Teeth like a wolf
Soft as a lamb ...
Red candles dripping down
The black furniture
Not unlike you to say yes
Content with time spent
Spent contorted and twisted
He's always gone when you're here
I never seem properly prepared
Deep in the belief you're the prey
Change again and show faces they never see
I never know who you are
And still you smile so precisely
Never hungry, but always wanting a bite
You kiss with a hunger
Others would shy from, spare the pain
Teeth like a wolf
Soft as a lamb ...

My dear, one
You like to think you're on your own
You seem to mourn what hasn't died
You say you'll never return to love
You treat them like they do you
You're trying to survive what isn't threatening you
You're living like you died long ago
You're running in place, so long as you're facing the other direction
You're plugging your ears, but I'm not saying a word
I feel the pain you never talk about,
but the one you can't hide in your eyes
I'd hurt them all for you.
You seem to mourn what hasn't died
