A VIP Pass To a Vogue Fashion Show
standing, in an awkwardly chic manner,
all the while, my vital organs blending together
from this internal tornado.
it's thick, black puree leaks from the corners of my dirty mouth.
my tainted body, wastefully taking up space
on the other side of your bed.
your hands touch,
but i can't feel it beneath the crawling on my skin.
messily falling apart, at the tattered seams,
watching the blood splatter,
as it paints the linoleum below.
knees bent awkwardly,
as i pose for you, another false smile.
song lyrics frost these blue...

Dear heart,
I know you’ve repeatedly been torn apart,
You’ve been treaded on and abused,
In love, mislead, and confused.
You’ve witnessed glory and conquered pain,
And have been the cloud in my thunderstorm and tears of
rain.
You’ve been taped together with hope,
And have tried various methods to cope.
I’m sorry for taking you on this dramatic ride,
And I hope that you’ll be able to push this previous pain
aside.
I want you to heal and be whole,
To be the healthy center of my soul.
I want you to be ready when...

Filling Spaces With Lovesick Daydreams
Laying, half empty, in the blindness of the dark,
Still and untouched, my body forming rust.
Hands spread wide, the spaces between my fingers,
Are at a universal still, a patience of eternity,
As I wait for you to notice me,
As I’ve obsessed about you.
Painful and self - deteriorating lyrics
Serenade my abnormal heart to a shallow beat,
As I sleep, only to dream about you,
And wake… another morning alone.
The vacant space behind my tainted body
Forms cobwebs of hate,
But they are washed away by tears.
Love transitions to...
Still and untouched, my body forming rust.
Hands spread wide, the spaces between my fingers,
Are at a universal still, a patience of eternity,
As I wait for you to notice me,
As I’ve obsessed about you.
Painful and self - deteriorating lyrics

The Initial Setup
Forcing these fragile fingers
To leave you waiting in mystery.
Not allowing myself to leave you a reminder
Of how desperate I must be.
Holding inside, these shaking bones,
The fear of inadequacy.
Rising to the surface,
Every insecurity, every doubt.
Sitting in the shadow of paranoia,
As I wait for your hint of care.
Letters lead to words,
That lead to a bleeding heart.
Holding it all together
With masking tape and tears,
I wait for your call.
Forcing these fragile fingers,
To leave myself set up for failure.
To leave you waiting in mystery.
Not allowing myself to leave you a reminder
Of how desperate I must be.
Holding inside, these shaking bones,
The fear of inadequacy.
Rising to the surface,
Every insecurity, every doubt.
Sitting in the shadow of paranoia,
As I wait for your hint of care.
Letters lead to words,
That lead to a bleeding heart.
Holding it all together
With masking tape and tears,
I wait for your call.
Forcing these fragile fingers,
To leave myself set up for failure.

Just a Mess, In a Dress
Standing,
Blue eyes, empty veins,
Colored hair, dripping makeup,
A girl struggles to breath.
Walking,
Shaking limbs, broken heart,
Converse shoes, laces untied,
A girl struggles to find her way.
Waiting,
Chipped nail polish, tarnished ring,
Scars on her wrist, tears on her cheeks,
A girl struggles to function.
Running,
Wind blown hair, rosy cheeks,
Silent lips, internal screams,
A girl struggles to find sanity.
Standing,
Blue eyes, empty veins,
Colored hair, dripping makeup,
A girl struggles to...
Blue eyes, empty veins,
Colored hair, dripping makeup,

Lord's Release
Releasing all of my hurt and pain so that I can be free,
Closing my eyes, but I can still see,
For the Lord is my guardian, my eyes,
Directing me through the darkness and its lies.
Repairing my broken heart so that it will continue to beat,
As he lifts my head high and brushes away my defeat.
Standing, with arms open wide,
He absorbed the world’s pain and swept our sins aside.
Remembering his sacrifice, I offer him my whole,
As his purification cleanses my soul.
Trusting completely in his amazing power,
As he sweetens the very life that can be so...
Closing my eyes, but I can still see,
For the Lord is my guardian, my eyes,
Directing me through the darkness and its lies.
Repairing my broken heart so that it will continue to beat,
As he lifts my head high and brushes away my defeat.
Standing, with arms open wide,

Remembering his sacrifice, I offer him my whole,
As his purification cleanses my soul.
Trusting completely in his amazing power,

Across The Hall and Into a Shallow Grave
Standing across the hall as I stare at you,
Looking at you with eyes full of hope,
As your eyes burn me into a shallow grave.
Painting small remaining fragments of light and dark,
Annihilating the structure of hope that was never really there.
Your smile chills the very warmth of my soul,
Transparency of your nature caressing me to a coma.
Pretending you care that I care,
As I follow your shadow, following you.
Black onyx tears fall from my troubled eyes,
Feeling too much hurt to accompany sorrow.
Burning black into the heart...
Looking at you with eyes full of hope,
As your eyes burn me into a shallow grave.
Painting small remaining fragments of light and dark,
Annihilating the structure of hope that was never really there.
Your smile chills the very warmth of my soul,
Transparency of your nature caressing me to a coma.
Pretending you care that I care,
As I follow your shadow, following you.
Black onyx tears fall from my troubled eyes,
Feeling too much hurt to accompany sorrow.
Burning black into the heart...

Tears, Blood, and Bathwater
Examining this blood and water mixing,
Wondering how I can be alive, yet feel so dead.
Drinking in your air of hate,
As I watch its red fade to pink and then disappear.
Feeling the sting of remembrance,
As I fade into nostalgic memories.
Closing my eyes, in envy of peace itself,
As this catastrophe builds cobwebs around my heart.
Living with the stale cheese that was once your smile,
Drowning in this prominent dysfunction.
Shooting arrows of poison,
With your broken arrow,
As you fully hope to succeed in this...
Wondering how I can be alive, yet feel so dead.
Drinking in your air of hate,
As I watch its red fade to pink and then disappear.
Feeling the sting of remembrance,
As I fade into nostalgic memories.
Closing my eyes, in envy of peace itself,
As this catastrophe builds cobwebs around my heart.
Living with the stale cheese that was once your smile,
Drowning in this prominent dysfunction.
Shooting arrows of poison,
With your broken arrow,

The Fatality Walking
Take your hammer and your anvil,
Break my barrier, tear down my wall.
Put me on display for all to see,
As you cut through my skin and see my beating heart,
Dig deeper, pull out every organ.
Keep looking and you’ll find there’s nothing
Inside this body of skin and bones…
Just blackness….don’t get too close, it’ll suck you in.
Stip off my nails, colored hair, and makeup,
And you’ll see a scared girl who doesn’t know
Who she is and how she got to be where she’s at.
A few drinks and bad decisions along the way,
Leads to pure destruction.
Now...
Break my barrier, tear down my wall.
Put me on display for all to see,

Dig deeper, pull out every organ.
Keep looking and you’ll find there’s nothing

Just blackness….don’t get too close, it’ll suck you in.
Stip off my nails, colored hair, and makeup,

Girl vs Half a Man
Breathing, but wishing only to scream,
As I lie awake in this cruel, endless dream.
The weight of all he bears, crushing my heart,
Smothering my every chance at a redeeming start.
Opening up just to feel that his intentions were austere,
Living in constant edge, because his second persona is near.
Standing forcefully as a family, in front of eyes that
judge,
Gathering broken pieces, to push past this grudge.
Trying soley to give a change of normalcy in this,
But instead he aims blindly, resulting in an obvious miss.
Holding it all together, so...
As I lie awake in this cruel, endless dream.

Ocean of Indecision
My mind is not buoyant,
As it sinks to the unforgiving ground.
My heart lies empty,
On the waves of this ocean of indecision.
My soul floats blankly,
Amongst the air of your procrastination.
Unconfused by your twisted notions,
Unknown by your materialistic happiness.
As I hide in this darkness,
I hear the ghost of failure calling my name.
I creep among the shadows,
Wishing to be heard,
My voice caught behind these bars,
I can feel your unnoticed exclusion,
As we all walk by.
Don’t try to improve this,
No need to lighten this deep...
As it sinks to the unforgiving ground.
My heart lies empty,
On the waves of this ocean of indecision.
My soul floats blankly,
Amongst the air of your procrastination.
Unconfused by your twisted notions,
Unknown by your materialistic happiness.
As I hide in this darkness,
I hear the ghost of failure calling my name.
I creep among the shadows,
Wishing to be heard,
My voice caught behind these bars,
I can feel your unnoticed exclusion,
As we all walk by.
Don’t try to improve this,

Isolation
Isolation,
As my heavy heart beats in a monotone
Of fake love and broken promises.
Isolation,
As hidden tears fall from my steady gaze
Of watching you throw your potential away.
Isolation,
As I dream about spending another unforgettable night with
you
Knowing it’s only a dream, it’s too good to be true.
Isolation,
As I start to crack and disintegrate,
Due to the weight of everyone leaning on my weak structure.
Isolation,
As I whole - heartedly believe everyone’s lies
Wishing only the love I felt were true....
As my heavy heart beats in a monotone
Of fake love and broken promises.
Isolation,
As hidden tears fall from my steady gaze
Of watching you throw your potential away.
Isolation,
As I dream about spending another unforgettable night with
you
Knowing it’s only a dream, it’s too good to be true.
Isolation,
As I start to crack and disintegrate,
Due to the weight of everyone leaning on my weak structure.
Isolation,
As I whole - heartedly believe everyone’s lies
Wishing only the love I felt were true....
