Beauty
What is beauty?
Emptiness..?
The shell of a person is beauty
with no pain or sadness
to taint the mask of perfection.
No future, no past, no present to change the cloud
of unmoving looks,
set in stone.
There is nothing behind the face
to change what you see on the outside.
Beauty is empty?
Or is beauty full?
Full of emotion?
Pain, sadness, anger, life
all in the eyes.
Can that be beautiful?
All the emotion
the depth of the feeling.
Does that make a difference?
Does it cause a glow? a paleness?
That can be...

I Promise It's Not Because I'm Addicted
There is nothing else for me to do,
no where else that i can go.
Down to my last option,
I pour into myself.
Hide in the shell
I've turned my body into.
The trash recepticle.
Looking out through
the eyes of my eyes.
Burrowed into myself
so deep.
My body has to smoke me out.
On autopilot
it knows the only solution
is to suffocate its self
to save its inner being.
But this shell would do fine without me.
I don't even need to be in here.
But it's smoking me out
smothering me
until i'm forced...
no where else that i can go.
Down to my last option,
I pour into myself.
Hide in the shell
I've turned my body into.
The trash recepticle.
Looking out through
the eyes of my eyes.
Burrowed into myself

My body has to smoke me out.

to save its inner being.
But this shell would do fine without me.

Holocaust
I shiver in the cold
my very bones
rattle with the chill
night seeping into my soul.
In the darkness
people moan
as friends and family
are burned to ashes
as their hands try to hold
what's already gone.
In ther night
all I can see
are the dying embers
souls released
from the earthly hell.
'Arebeit Macht Frei'
their work is done.
Mine continues.
I will join them soon.
Together,
we will go free.

You Will Never Know
I cannot keep my past from you
forever
but I will damn sure
make sure you
never know what I've become.
I won't even have to lie to you.
I don't even want to.
But some things about me
should remain in the shadows.
That is my home that is where I belong.
I'm not filled with light,like you.
I will never be the same after what has happened to me.
Telling you won't change it.
You will only know what I do
what I want to forget.
I have to make this all up to you.
I will keep it all inside.
It is all I can do.
But it is the best...
forever
but I will damn sure
make sure you
never know what I've become.
I won't even have to lie to you.
I don't even want to.
But some things about me

I'm not filled with light,like you.
I will never be the same after what has happened to me.

what I want to forget.

The Last Drop
If you cut something
it will bleed
did you know that when
you cut me?
Just one yet,
it scars so deep,
there goes the life
I've fought to keep.
I've shed my tears
it's time to stop,
I've spared my blood
with one last drop
it will bleed
did you know that when
you cut me?
Just one yet,
it scars so deep,
there goes the life
I've fought to keep.
I've shed my tears
it's time to stop,
I've spared my blood
with one last drop

Razor
I never knew
that razor would feel so good
slicing my skin.
I never knew
how much that pain
would make me feel again.
I never knew
how easy it was to cut,
the delightful sin.
I never knew
how hard it would be
to never do it again...
that razor would feel so good
slicing my skin.
I never knew
how much that pain
would make me feel again.
I never knew
how easy it was to cut,
the delightful sin.
I never knew
how hard it would be
to never do it again...

f**kin Christ
Uprooted.
Taken from my home
and caged.
Chained to listless walls
and barren floors
in empty buildings,
of echos and sorrow
lost in a home that is not my own
trapped in someone elses life
body, mind not my own
controlled by unseen forces
I am forced to obey.
Jailed in a room with no windows
and a door that swings in.
I have locked myself in a pit of snakes
venemous or non
I'm dead anyway.
There's no blood for them to take.
I'm all piss and anger.
Fuckin eat me.
I will poison the world
leave it colder.
I...

Everything Ends
I'm going through my past
and erasing your name.
Maybe by forgetting you
I can forget the pain.
I've hidden every photo
stashed every verse you wrote
stowed away the trinkets
washed your scent from my coat.
I loved you once but nevermore
The raven can't dwell in the past
I forgive your sins
I forgive what didn't last.
You've shown me many things
And I still consider you a friend
I don't want to remeber you as more
I know, everything ends
and erasing your name.
Maybe by forgetting you
I can forget the pain.
I've hidden every photo
stashed every verse you wrote
stowed away the trinkets
washed your scent from my coat.
I loved you once but nevermore
The raven can't dwell in the past
I forgive your sins
I forgive what didn't last.
You've shown me many things
And I still consider you a friend
I don't want to remeber you as more
I know, everything ends

Dark Angel
I am your dark angel.
I will save you,
and you will kill me.
No harm there.
I'm the unholy harvest of September.
The forbidden fruit that tempts you.
I'm the risk you'd never take.
Even though you want it so bad.
Want to be me,
want to be like me,
want to love me.
Or love to hate me.
I'm your dark angel.
I am everything wrong with your life.
The terrible beauty
you are forced to see.
I let you blame it all on me.
I'm not like your guardian angel.
I'm the one with black wings.
I can fly you straight to...
I will save you,
and you will kill me.
No harm there.
I'm the unholy harvest of September.
The forbidden fruit that tempts you.
I'm the risk you'd never take.
Even though you want it so bad.
Want to be me,
want to be like me,
want to love me.
Or love to hate me.
I'm your dark angel.
I am everything wrong with your life.
The terrible beauty
you are forced to see.
I let you blame it all on me.
I'm not like your guardian angel.
I'm the one with black wings.

It's Not Meth, But Something's Been Keeping Me Up
1:00 a.m
the stars are beautiful tonight
my ipod drones on random
my mind does too
something's getting in the way
something's just about to break,
I will try to find my place
in the diary of jane
Did Jane have a place in her own diary?
3:30 a.m
ditched my room a while ago
wandering along the road.
I'll miss it..
no where to go
just away
just for now.
as I burn another page
as I look the other way
I still try to find my place
in the diary of jane
...

Black Coffee
This coffee's too sweet
I don't want it sugarcoated.
I can take it bitter
make it black, hon
I won't have it any other way.
Fill me up.
Good morning world.
My day is great.
All nicotene caffiene and rainbows for me.
That's what it's all come down to.
It's all I got left.
Pour me another hon.
One ain't enough this morning.
I don't need that sugar.
I can take it bitter.
Wouldn't have it any other way.
I don't want it sugarcoated.
I can take it bitter
make it black, hon
I won't have it any other way.
Fill me up.
Good morning world.
My day is great.
All nicotene caffiene and rainbows for me.
That's what it's all come down to.

Tears
My tears burn my face
like acid rain.
The hurt and loss
I can't contain.
The memories
flood my brain.
Kill me.
I can't this pain.
like acid rain.
The hurt and loss
I can't contain.
The memories
flood my brain.
Kill me.
I can't this pain.
