A ticking
A clicking
An understanding
Befitting
How fast
Thoughts cast
Shadows past
Our last
To make even
Our season
Fall in treason
Left without reason

When It Comes
Fire
Dances up
Grazes your cheek
You call it a kiss
Water
Rises high
Claims your lungs
You call it love
Wind
Comes in
Sweeps you off your feet
You call it courting
Earth
Gives way
Takes in your body
You call it an embrace
Death succeeds
And you look so betrayed
Dances up
Grazes your cheek
You call it a kiss
Water
Rises high
Claims your lungs
You call it love
Wind
Comes in
Sweeps you off your feet
You call it courting
Earth
Gives way
Takes in your body
You call it an embrace
Death succeeds
And you look so betrayed

Blood tinged cheeks
A murder's blush
Death breathes last
Final laugh
Eyes gone
Years before
Sight continued
But see no more
A murder's blush
Death breathes last
Final laugh
Eyes gone
Years before
Sight continued
But see no more

Blush
White cherry blossoms
Passing glance
Lingering hands
Blush of spring
Grazing softness
Graying color
White cherry blossoms
Trampled under foot

Manifestation of You
It's a good day
Don't you think
To go out
Clear your mind and think
It's a nice day
I think you'd agree
But everyone's different
To some degree
So whatever you're feeling
Is fine with me
But you don't really feel
Anymore, at least
All you do is think
Thoughts that tick inside of me
The manifestation
Of your non existent being
Ticks away
Tick tick tick
Right inside of me
Blinding so I can't see
So I'll make the same
Mistake
So I'll miss
And tie off...
Don't you think

A Real Good Murder
Once in a while
You've gotta go find yourself
A real good murder
Something beautiful
About the flickering soul
Of a victim
Something beautiful
About the rising toll
Of a hit man
Something enticing
About the slashers
And their slicing
Something enticing
About the screamers
And their fighting
Once in a while
You've gotta go get yourself
A real good murder
You've gotta go find yourself
A real good murder
Something beautiful
About the flickering soul
Of a victim
Something beautiful
About the rising toll
Of a hit man
Something enticing
About the slashers
And their slicing
Something enticing
About the screamers
And their fighting
Once in a while
You've gotta go get yourself
A real good murder

One Day
It's like drowning
And knowing you could swim up
But you don't
Hours laying in the same spot
Thinking about how it could all go away
But it's not that bad yet
Try to get up and do something
Anything, find a hobby
But all energy is spent
Spent worrying
Spent shaking
Spent drenched in anxiety
Until it gets to the point
Where you just stop
Because you can't keep up
It all rushes by
Thousands of emotions
All gone
And your left
Feeling like your drowning
And not doing a thing about it
And knowing you could swim up
But you don't
Hours laying in the same spot
Thinking about how it could all go away
But it's not that bad yet
Try to get up and do something
Anything, find a hobby
But all energy is spent
Spent worrying
Spent shaking
Spent drenched in anxiety
Until it gets to the point
Where you just stop
Because you can't keep up
It all rushes by
Thousands of emotions
All gone
And your left
Feeling like your drowning
And not doing a thing about it

I don't want to feel a thing
And I don't want to think at all
All the warnings
All the empty words
Doesn't matter much to me
And I don't want to think at all
All the warnings
All the empty words
Doesn't matter much to me

I understand you
But you don't see me
That's okay
I'm not important
I know
I really know now
It's not important
Day to day
It's all the same
Guess I could change it
Guess I should
But I won't
And neither will you
So let me just lay here
Let me just be
I'm not important
I've got no where to be.
But you don't see me
That's okay
I'm not important
I know
I really know now
It's not important
Day to day
It's all the same
Guess I could change it
Guess I should
But I won't
And neither will you
So let me just lay here
Let me just be
I'm not important
I've got no where to be.

Vanity Breaks Sanity
The galaxies
Don't give
A clear
Bright answer
I couldn't
Blame them
Even if
I wanted to
If I followed
A shadow
Of the
Moon
Or the falling
Of a fading
Used up
Sun
Or the dead
Alluring
Bright bites
Of the Stars
I wouldn't
Be here
Lazily drowning
In dead philosophy
Instead
I might be
Doing
Something
With myself
Instead
Of waiting
For things
To
Come
Back
Around
Maybe
Those dead
Lights
And
...

I'm a monster
Because I think of it
I think of it
Often
I'm a monster
Because I hide it
I hide it
Often
I'm a monster
Because I will
I will
Often
I'm a monster
Because it's evil
It's evil
And I won't stop it
Because I think of it
I think of it
Often
I'm a monster
Because I hide it
I hide it
Often
I'm a monster
Because I will
I will
Often
I'm a monster
Because it's evil
It's evil
And I won't stop it
