Russian Roulette
Deep breath in long breath out
As I sit across from you looking back at me
The shine of the pistol that lays between us
Each stuttering exhale splitting the silence
I slide my hand across the table and pull the gun to myself
Take a deep breath in and raise the barrel to my temple
Long breath out as I put my finger on the trigger and squeeze
CLICK
Heart racing sliding the gun back to the center of the table
You grab the handle and put your finger against the trigger

Heart racing sliding the gun back to the center of the table

Human
I'm as human as I'll ever be
A stitched heart with a regulated beat
Eyes of gold for everyone to see
And a mind filled with things impossible to treat
Eyes, to look at all the things you can't see
Hands, that reach for safety trapped in my madness
Arms, to embrace to give you the impression that I'm here
Feet, to stay grounded when I'm thrown to my knees
Throat, to swallow the bitter remedies to my impending rage
Lungs, to take in the cold air as I exhale the thick cloudy smoke
Spine, meant to support me as shivers race up and down
Voice,...

Will You Let Me?
Let me be the one to be by your side
Let me be the one you want to be with all the time
The one you smile at when you pull in the smoke
The one you pull close to blow a shotgun
The one you know is yours and only yours
The one you know wont leave
The one that makes you high
Let me be the One
Can I come with you when you go out at night?
Can I be the one you roll up with?
Can you kiss me when your head gets heavy?
Can you pull me close when I escape reality?
Let me stare into your eyes and see whats inside
Let me...

Fallen Angel
Dwelling in the heavens above, an innocent celestial being
As pure as the wings that cling to my back
Listening to what I'm told, no questions or concerns
Devout and shielded from all evil in my head
Turning my head and wondering about sin
Hands folded together as my lips remain sealed
My wings grow heavy and my steps get harder
Halo cracking and dimming as my faith wanes
Questions the authority, the control over my soul
Punished for my doubt and shunned for my sin
Pushing for answers to why I am bound to the stars
Holding back my prayers...

Lies
Hearing the lies that twist my heart
Seeing your face as you utter them
It hurts so bad and you can't see it
I wish you would try so I can stop hiding
I'm tired of always getting hurt
Trying to find ways to numb the pain
I'm sick of always being high
Sick of always trying so hard
Only to see the back of your head
Please look at me
See that its real and I'm trying
I want to be your treasure
Your only one in the world
These tears burn as they stream down my face
I can't bring myself to sleep
My stomach knots as the...

Desperate
Feeling lonelier than ever before
I need you more than ever but
You are no where to be found
I cry your name but no reply
Slipping into madness as my hands begin to shake
Blurring vision from the harsh tears that burn my eyes
Abandoned and left to be with myself again
With no one to help me and no one to stop me
My insides twist as the darkness tries to draw me in
Giving me thoughts that warp what I want to know
Slaying the hope that I try desperately to hang on to
Ripping away the image of your face I long to see
I lift my hand...

Execution of Power
Fuck you and the throne you stand on
Fuck the words that seep from your lips
Fuck the holy ground your feet walk upon
To hell with the sluts that rest on your hips
Sick of feeling like your piece of nothing
A thing that is used and given no thought
The weight of your throne under me, crushing
Soon to feel the rising fire of a heart left to rot
Your happiness means nothing to me
Your fear will only make me stronger
Numb, what you've wanted me to be
Successful and I feel nothing any longer
So scream for your guards,...

Nobody Here
Alone within these walls I feel
Reality is withered and unreal
Choking the life from my shallow breaths
Hollowing my insides free from the stress
Shine a light into my dark abyss
Look into my eyes as the chaos starts
Save me please ignorance isn't bliss
The emptiness pulls and tugs at my heart
No one around to hear my cries
The world's an empty lonely place
Twisting my mind and telling myself lies
As my vision shrinks and leaps out of pace
Look at me please and see that I can't
This life is too hard for me to go on...

Swear Words
Shit Fuck Dammit Bitch
Taboo words, lets flip the switch
No more fucking soap filled mouths
Or scolding heard from across the house
Slut Dick Asshole Ass
Lets shout 'em loud and show our class
Raging anger that fills our soul
Bitching and complaining to do what were told
Hell Satan Cunt Piss
We say it cause no one gives a shit
Emphasis and feeling it gives to our life
Like a killer headstrong and gripping a knife
Nigger Dumbass Pussy Damn
Come join the IDGAF Clan
Holy shit that's a no-no word!
Shut the hell up and...

Infliction of Isolation
Feeling like a scolded dog
Shaking with my tail between my legs
Like a child that broke a glass
Shrinking my head into my shoulders
Paranoia twists inside if my mind
Wondering what to think
Considering what to say
Scared of how to act
Everyone seems to be enraged today
Careful about what I want to say
Afraid another person will snap at me
Criticize what I ask and tell me to leave them alone
No responses from anyone when I try
I make conversations but no one wants to talk
My stomach turns to knots as this feeling sinks ...

I Miss You
Tears run down my face
From the thought of your embrace
A longing to see you smile
For a love that's worth the while
To be comforted by your voice
That I heard when I made the choice
Seeing the powerful storm that lays within your eyes
Calming the anger that starts to rage inside
Holding every emotion back
As the seal begins to burst and crack
A hunger for the thought of you
The bleeding pain when I try to break through
I'm not really sure what else to do
Since this feeling inside is because I miss you
From the thought of your embrace
A longing to see you smile
For a love that's worth the while
To be comforted by your voice
That I heard when I made the choice
Seeing the powerful storm that lays within your eyes
Calming the anger that starts to rage inside
Holding every emotion back
As the seal begins to burst and crack
A hunger for the thought of you
The bleeding pain when I try to break through
I'm not really sure what else to do
Since this feeling inside is because I miss you

Insanity's Kiss
Bruised knuckles
Fractured wrists
Bloodshot eyes
Insanity's kiss
Let the fire rage inside
Jagged tears from the wounds inside
Rip out the heart and put it on a string
Numb to the feeling of a blasphemous sting
A sinner's cry in the hands of a liar
Giving their soul as a vengeful desire
Pounding their fists on the walls that restrain them
Hoping that soon will be the time of retribution
Whispering voices inside of your head
Teasing until all morality is dead
Controling your thoughts, rewiring dreams ...
