Not Again
The cracks they spread and burn
Turn over and pull the sheets over my head
The lights are out and I'm not breathing
It doesn't matter, its already seen me
Close my eyes and count to three
Repeat it isn't real it's just a dream
It isn't real, it's in my head
Say it like a prayer because I'm already dead
And I'm screaming, "Not again!"
Because I know I can't take it
Not again
Because I know I won't make it
Not again
I can't fucking do this
Not again... Not again...
The fire spreads and my ribs bloom open ...
Turn over and pull the sheets over my head
The lights are out and I'm not breathing
It doesn't matter, its already seen me
Close my eyes and count to three
Repeat it isn't real it's just a dream
It isn't real, it's in my head
Say it like a prayer because I'm already dead
And I'm screaming, "Not again!"
Because I know I can't take it
Not again
Because I know I won't make it
Not again
I can't fucking do this
Not again... Not again...
The fire spreads and my ribs bloom open ...

I Was a Paper Doll
I was a paper doll
And I gave you all the pieces
As we lay inside you coffin bed
And we paint the walls in blood
I was a corpse
Pretending I was living
You were the pulse inside my veins
Spreading violence
With your teeth like shiny bullets
I was a paper doll
But someone tore me from your page
I was crumpled when you found me
And you no longer wanted to play
And I gave you all the pieces
As we lay inside you coffin bed
And we paint the walls in blood
I was a corpse
Pretending I was living
You were the pulse inside my veins
Spreading violence
With your teeth like shiny bullets
I was a paper doll
But someone tore me from your page
I was crumpled when you found me
And you no longer wanted to play

Inconsequential Ponderings or How I Fell in Love With Impossibility
I could be the one to take you
Home at night for the rest of time
I would stitch together all your cracks
And paint them in rose petals
I would dress your wounds with lace
I would crown you as my queen
And I'd love you when your dress is torn
When your makeup's smeared and you don't care
I love your damaged skin, your shipwreck heart
I love the way you dive right into chaos
I would show you a caring hand
I would care for you like a wingless butterfly
And you would be mine and I would be yours
Forever as one, we...

Dissociative Paradise
I want to fade into the earth's embrace
Feel the pull of tiny capsules filled with freedom
Leave my body in its rotting fetter
I am free, and now I live
There's no pain here and there's no people
There's no hate and there's no love
There is nothing and that's what I need
A world of nothing, just me and my mind
Let me live without walls and boundaries
Let me live and let me be me
This fucking world will never understand
And those who judge have never seen Hell
Those who judge have never seen Hell
Those who judge...
Feel the pull of tiny capsules filled with freedom

f**k Me
Fuck me until I can feel
Fuck me until it bleeds
Fuck me until I cry
Fuck me until it hurts
Fuck me until you love me
Fuck me until I hate you
Fuck me until I'm nothing
Fuck me because I'm nothing
Fuck me because I don't care
Fuck me because I'm already dead
Fuck me because I hate the feel
Fuck me because I hate myself
Fuck me because I hate myself
Fuck me because I hate myself
Fuck me because I hate myself
FUCK ME BECAUSE I FUCKING HATE YOU
Fuck me until it bleeds
Fuck me until I cry
Fuck me until it hurts
Fuck me until you love me
Fuck me until I hate you
Fuck me until I'm nothing
Fuck me because I'm nothing
Fuck me because I don't care
Fuck me because I'm already dead
Fuck me because I hate the feel
Fuck me because I hate myself
Fuck me because I hate myself
Fuck me because I hate myself
Fuck me because I hate myself
FUCK ME BECAUSE I FUCKING HATE YOU

No Mouth
I have no mouth and I must breathe
So rip me open, spread my wings
Beat me, tear me, make me be
I have no mouth and I must breathe
The virgin now becomes the whore
All is dead and nothing more
The virgin now becomes the whore
All is dead and nothing more
Hurt me, bleed me, if you can
There's nothing left that you can do
My body has been through the grinder
My heart can't freeze its mercury liner
Poison in my veins
My words mean nothing
There is no meaning
There is nothing
There is
Hurt...
So rip me open, spread my wings
Beat me, tear me, make me be
I have no mouth and I must breathe
The virgin now becomes the whore
All is dead and nothing more
The virgin now becomes the whore
All is dead and nothing more
Hurt me, bleed me, if you can
There's nothing left that you can do
My body has been through the grinder
My heart can't freeze its mercury liner
Poison in my veins
My words mean nothing
There is no meaning
There is nothing
There is

Poem for My Father
I would want you to know
I can tell you what monsters do
There are stories I'll never tell
There are wounds that will never heal
But I stopped being weak long ago
And I know how to survive
Without bitterness or anger
I am more than my scars
I would want you to know
It's not lonely on the other side
It's not hopeless like you thought
My heart and mind are free
My body and my identity are mine
No one else can touch that now
And what's mine is not for sale
Not anymore
I would want you to know
That...

Exdoctrination
You suffocate the unborn
With your indoctrinated bullshit
And before we can crawl
We wallow in the feces of your gods
Born to pay the price for being born
We apologize 'til our dying breaths
What abomination crafts abominations
Sent forward just to plague our nations
Keep your prayers, your preachers,
Your apostles, and your prophets for profit
I've got no use for enslavement
I'm just looking to breathe
I'm a base creature with no moral compass
A filthy harlot with no shame to sell
I'm a godless...

This is for You
He's made of ugliness and broken dreams
I am his whipping girl
They say that love should be tender and gentle
I love it more when it burns
I never wanted you to ever be gentle
I'm not a fragile doll
So bare it all, all your hatred and anger
I'll love you through it all
When he's broken my skin is thick
Tie me up with rope burns on my wrists
Use the whip until you feel again
While I burn with bliss
And when the feeling comes back again
I'll hold you through the fall
His arms of venom enclosed around me
I'll endure...

Tomb
And I won't hold the basin, I just let the venom fall
Bound in the flesh of all your failures
We shed the wings when they lead us to burn
Cut free the hand before what's left has time to turn
This is your tomb
Your car crash life is on black ice
And all the barriers have been pulled
There's no flares, there's no road
Just a catapulting world of nowhere
This is your tomb
And I won't be sealed within
When I'm standing outside
I've pushed the stone in place
So I won't smell your own decay
And when you rise, if you...
Bound in the flesh of all your failures
We shed the wings when they lead us to burn
Cut free the hand before what's left has time to turn
This is your tomb
Your car crash life is on black ice
And all the barriers have been pulled
There's no flares, there's no road
Just a catapulting world of nowhere
This is your tomb
And I won't be sealed within
When I'm standing outside
I've pushed the stone in place
So I won't smell your own decay

Tar and Hate
Peel my heart like an open book
I'm not ready to turn that page
With lungs full of tar and a heart full of hate
I'm too young to die so let's celebrate
And the past is in the past
But the scars are gonna last
The past is in the past
But all your scars are here to last
I'm like a road map of your destruction
My skin is potholes without reconstruction
Lungs full of tar and a heart full of hate
I'm too young to die so let's celebrate
Alive, alive, I am alive
Alive, alive, I am alive
Alive, alive, I am alive ...
