Battleship Stations and Fake Gravitation
I'm done pretending like... no never mind.
I'll keep up the act because it's all I can find.
My hearts been missing for so long.
I've long forgotten the beating song.
I put on this mask and it's hard to breathe,
The only problem being, I've forgotten what was underneath.
Chop off my head and do away with me,
Then maybe, you and I, might just get to see.
Chains and battleship stations,
All coming down to the very creation.
I'm nothing but a mass of numbers and words.
I'm starting to see, I'm but just one girl.
I can't make a...

Okay
They lay her down to rest today,
Her friends cry and shake and break down.
I stand still saying "it'll be okay."
They swim in enough tears and snot to drown.
I haven't cried and it's been so long.
Her friends look at me with open disgust.
I chant "it'll be okay" like it's a song,
Her friends look like it's my head they want to bust.
I still remember her smile and her face,
And I have yet to cry for her.
Six feet under is not her place,
Soiled in a billion colors.
Years are passing and I'm still saying,
Her...

Goodbye
I'm getting closer, just a one more step now.
I can feel the closure, but it's a matter of how.
Who, what, where, and why.
I want to close my eyes and die.
Gonna close my eyes and sleep tonight,
Put on a smile and ask if you're all right.
Gonna close my mouth up tight,
And pretend I slept at all last night.
That I wasn't up crying,
Rather than dying.
Because I don't want to add my death to your list of problems,
And if I was gone, who would get you through them?
No, not I.
No, not I.
For I've said,
I can feel the closure, but it's a matter of how.
Who, what, where, and why.
I want to close my eyes and die.
Gonna close my eyes and sleep tonight,
Put on a smile and ask if you're all right.
Gonna close my mouth up tight,
And pretend I slept at all last night.
That I wasn't up crying,
Rather than dying.
Because I don't want to add my death to your list of problems,
And if I was gone, who would get you through them?
No, not I.
No, not I.
For I've said,

The Garden Plot on Baker's Street
I like to bury little things, hoping someone will find them.
I like to bury my heart and find out if I will be condemned.
Maybe the rotting muscle, with help the plants grow strong.
Maybe I can use my heart, to fuel another's song.
People are like songbirds, singing for a variety of reasons.
Some sing love, some sing hate, others just sing treasons.
Bury me now, beneath the dirt where the worms are silent.
Because aiding another is all I need to be content.
Live on, be strong, be better than anyone, everyone, else.
That's all I wish, all I need, before the...

Drown
Take me down, make me the clown.
Suck it up and breathe it in.
Let me drown, take me down.
Breathe it in and cut the skin.
A mask to hide your face behind.
Why can't I know what's underneath?
"Because, I don't know what you'll find!"
You scream, already hanging in defeat.
Maybe there's more, maybe it's all war.
Before you take me down, making me a clown,
Know what it is that you're fighting for.
Do me the favor, TELL ME WHY I HAVE TO DROWN!
Suck it up and breathe it in.
Let me drown, take me down.

Don't Check My Sleeve
Don't check my sleeve
I'd hate for you to find what's underneath
I always said I wouldn't do this
But I just wanted a bit of momentary bliss
And I know they're shallow
But I'm becoming hallow
I hardly felt anything but the pain
And the "thump" "thump" "thumping" in my brain
And I hate to say
But I rather like it that way
Sorry if I leave this world
I'm but only one girl
If you loved me I'm glad
I'll be happy as soon as I'm not sad
Before I bid my leave
Don't check under my sleeve
I'd hate for you to find what's underneath
I always said I wouldn't do this
But I just wanted a bit of momentary bliss
And I know they're shallow
But I'm becoming hallow
I hardly felt anything but the pain
And the "thump" "thump" "thumping" in my brain
And I hate to say
But I rather like it that way
Sorry if I leave this world
I'm but only one girl
If you loved me I'm glad
I'll be happy as soon as I'm not sad
Before I bid my leave
Don't check under my sleeve

I Hope They Take My Life
I sit in the dark, opening my head
Relieving the pressure with a slit instead
This is the first time a blade's touched my skin
And they're so little that I'm trying again
I'm surprised by how clean the blade is
How little the bliss
I supposed I expected more relief
But I've still forgotten how to breathe
I'm drowning in snot while my eyes are dry
Because this isn't the first time I've wished to die
And I know I've gotten closer than this moment
But swallowing that many pills isn't as much of an enjoyment
These little dribbles of...

Death's Bed Time Stories (collab)
I'm as old as I ever am
And as young as I ever will be.
But what am I doing with this life of mine?
I ask myself,
But all that comes out is a strangled choke
And a satisfied goodbye.
I'm not worth the air I breathe
Yet here I stand
With nothing underneath.
Am I dead yet?
I like to ask,
But only because I like the pain I feel
When I answer no.
I close my eyes,
Soaking in this open relationship
I favor with death.
But he never comes through
And takes me to hell,
Just makes me listen
To all the stories he can't tell....
And as young as I ever will be.
But what am I doing with this life of mine?
I ask myself,
But all that comes out is a strangled choke
And a satisfied goodbye.
I'm not worth the air I breathe
Yet here I stand
With nothing underneath.
Am I dead yet?
I like to ask,
But only because I like the pain I feel
When I answer no.
I close my eyes,
Soaking in this open relationship
I favor with death.
But he never comes through
And takes me to hell,
Just makes me listen
To all the stories he can't tell....

Very Dear
I'm going to sleep tonight and I'm going to try to make it last forever.
Listen, my favorite people, to what I spew into this world without color.
I'm sorry that I ever existed, that I barged my way into your lives,
I know I screw up everything and I seemed to never even try.
I won't say I'm sorry, or that you should have seen this coming,
Because I made no move, I told you nothing too alarming.
I planned it this way you see, since the very begging,
Now that you're reading this, you'll see my false skin shedding.
I'm not innocent, I'm happy, I was...

All Amazed
I am nothing but a person lost in a shadow,
Taking on everything, just so I won't be hollow.
But there's nothing but darkness left now,
It seems strange, but I never stopped to wonder how.
There seems to be good in this world,
But there's never enough for just one girl.
So I'll stand here all amazed by your figure,
Shining in the light, beautiful and slender.
An expectation I wish to be, but aim as I might,
You are something made out of all that is right.
I sit here in sin, wishing to be you,
As you destroy your lovely figure in the...

Afterlife
Under my skin, I'm alive and beating,
But the mind is cold and silent.
With my expression I'm cheating
All those with the purest intent.
Leave me be, I'd live to scream,
But they talk in my ear anyway.
They got their minds in the dreams,
And they ain't coming down today.
They live with that smile on their face,
Not realizing it's ever out of place.
How do we live in this world so cold?
Following orders, doing what we're told.
I'd like to live with my head in the clouds,
Never made to come down.
Because up there it's...
But the mind is cold and silent.
With my expression I'm cheating
All those with the purest intent.
Leave me be, I'd live to scream,
But they talk in my ear anyway.
They got their minds in the dreams,
And they ain't coming down today.
They live with that smile on their face,
Not realizing it's ever out of place.
How do we live in this world so cold?

Never made to come down.

Swore No Blades
I'm scared to say anything
I'm worried it won't come out right
What's on my mind is everything
But it'll never come to light
Just give up on me now
I'm using my voice to convey tears
But should you ever ask me how
These bit marks appeared here
I'll tell you the story of a scream
That didn't make it passed my lips
I cried over a world that wasn't clean
And swore no blades to my hips
Jagged teeth scar my hands
Leave their mark upon my skin of twits
Trying to cover what I could not withstand
Because everyone checks wrists
I'm worried it won't come out right
What's on my mind is everything
But it'll never come to light
Just give up on me now
I'm using my voice to convey tears
But should you ever ask me how
These bit marks appeared here
I'll tell you the story of a scream
That didn't make it passed my lips
I cried over a world that wasn't clean
And swore no blades to my hips
Jagged teeth scar my hands
Leave their mark upon my skin of twits
Trying to cover what I could not withstand
Because everyone checks wrists
