Fragile
They've labeled me fragile
Handle with care
A brown paper bag
That's easy to tear
Better tread lightly
Around my fractured mind
Sometimes it is harsh
And feels no need to be kind
Other times it's the saddest song
That you've ever heard
The closing refrain
Of my funeral dirge
But it can find sunshine
Through the pouring rain
It's what keeps me going
Despite all the pain
Handle with care
A brown paper bag
That's easy to tear
Better tread lightly
Around my fractured mind
Sometimes it is harsh
And feels no need to be kind
Other times it's the saddest song
That you've ever heard
The closing refrain
Of my funeral dirge
But it can find sunshine
Through the pouring rain
It's what keeps me going
Despite all the pain

Slow suicide
It's a blissful torture
A disintegration of
Body
Mind
And soul
An old friend
You just can't tell no
A needle in your eye
A thorn in your side
A lie
Slow suicide
A disintegration of
Body
Mind
And soul
An old friend
You just can't tell no
A needle in your eye
A thorn in your side
A lie
Slow suicide

Locked inside
Sometimes I just want to be left alone
Feel much better by myself
No other thoughts but being at home
Locked inside my cell
When my mind wanders
It's dangerous for me
It goes to the depths of my soul
The darkest place for it to be
Please, please don't leave me
I'm a danger to myself
Please, please help me
Get me out of my own hell
Feel much better by myself
No other thoughts but being at home
Locked inside my cell
When my mind wanders
It's dangerous for me
It goes to the depths of my soul
The darkest place for it to be
Please, please don't leave me
I'm a danger to myself
Please, please help me
Get me out of my own hell

Smile again
Help me find my smile again
The love I had for all my friends
The beauty in a newborn day
The warmth inside a sunlit ray
Help me clear my clouded mind
Corroded with the sands of time
Bring back the joy of childhood dreams
When everything was so serene
Help me find the old me
When I wasn't consumed by worry
The love I had for all my friends
The beauty in a newborn day
The warmth inside a sunlit ray
Help me clear my clouded mind
Corroded with the sands of time
Bring back the joy of childhood dreams
When everything was so serene
Help me find the old me
When I wasn't consumed by worry

Medicate
I used to run through golden fields
And taste the air so sweet
Barefoot I'd trod thru leafy wood
And thru the sparkling stream
No thoughts, no cares of things to come
I lived my life so free
Unconscious of the serpent
Who lie in wait for me
And without warning he struck
His venomous fangs sank deep
And cursed me with a horrid need
To be in love with my disease
So now I have to medicate
To stave off my desire
Medicate
I'm building my own pyre
Medicate
I'm lonesome, not alone
Medicate ...
And taste the air so sweet
Barefoot I'd trod thru leafy wood
And thru the sparkling stream
No thoughts, no cares of things to come
I lived my life so free
Unconscious of the serpent
Who lie in wait for me
And without warning he struck
His venomous fangs sank deep
And cursed me with a horrid need
To be in love with my disease
So now I have to medicate
To stave off my desire
Medicate
I'm building my own pyre
Medicate
I'm lonesome, not alone
Medicate ...

True love
Spent my whole life
Trying to hide
Trying to fit in
With an invisible disguise
But you loved me for who I was
You never wanted more
Helped me escape inside
And close the door
Who knew a bottle
Could make me feel right
You poured yourself into me
Night after night
You loved me for who I was
You never wanted more
Helped me escape inside
And close the door
Trying to hide
Trying to fit in
With an invisible disguise
But you loved me for who I was
You never wanted more
Helped me escape inside
And close the door
Who knew a bottle
Could make me feel right
You poured yourself into me
Night after night
You loved me for who I was
You never wanted more
Helped me escape inside
And close the door

Witches Are Bitches Eleven[th Hourglass Figure]
Stands an army at attention
By her commands---
disperses! from the room
doom doom
doom doom
Narrow-minded, its
pursuits n purposes
Uncouth, she wildly waves a broom
accompanied by such ill-conceived
verses zealously spelling out our doom
in jealous spells quite hellish
Final sands trickling from her
eleventh hourglass figure
the ego driven desperately relish
Can't take back a single minute
nor a second life of youth
No...

Thinking no one
but yourself
will be the wiser[ed]
as long as you
keep up the deep-
fake-ing of it
with a blown glass ego
emerald in hue
---self'd illusion
custom ordered to fit
begging for a shattered
ceiling as we further go
through predictable motions of
you feeling a constant need
to
take
the
piss
from
me
Notions of being opaque
always your mistake
Can't see your own
transparency
We know! ...

Help
I'm lonely but not alone
I'm lost without a home
Grasping at straws
Gasping for breath
Breathe in that rare air
Chase away death
Life is a candle
A flickering wick
Gone in a flash
All together too quick
Death is but a breath away
But once it's here
It's here to stay
HELP!
Help me long to see another day
I'm lost without a home
Grasping at straws
Gasping for breath
Breathe in that rare air
Chase away death
Life is a candle
A flickering wick
Gone in a flash
All together too quick
Death is but a breath away
But once it's here
It's here to stay
HELP!
Help me long to see another day

I died Yesterday~
I died yesterday. The pain was worse than I thought it would be. They say it will be different but it’s not. I’m here to tell you so. The burn pierced through my flesh as the bullet searched for a place to exit. So here I am now, standing on the edge of a cliff with hues of brown and grey. I was expecting more of all of this. No bells, no whistles, no angels or unicorns to soothe the torture I thought I’d left behind.
My escape plan failed. Now what? Ginger clouds on the horizon and not another soul to be found. With a deep breath and sigh, a resignation lands on the half...

Seductress
I can't stop
This seductress is a part of me
A companion who's always there
Never failing to lift my spirits
And when she leaves...
The sadness returns
Constant longing
Forever craving
The company of my old friend
Who understands me like no other
My soul mate
My nemesis
Slowly dissolving me
Into her destructive fantasy
This seductress is a part of me
A companion who's always there
Never failing to lift my spirits
And when she leaves...
The sadness returns
Constant longing
Forever craving
The company of my old friend
Who understands me like no other
My soul mate
My nemesis
Slowly dissolving me
Into her destructive fantasy

Plastic
Plastic smile
On a plastic face
No one can tell
But you know it's fake
Enveloped by covers
No one will see
This waste of space
I have come to be
No more fun
No more games
No more lies
No more pain
I'll just close my eyes
And make you all go away
On a plastic face
No one can tell
But you know it's fake
Enveloped by covers
No one will see
This waste of space
I have come to be
No more fun
No more games
No more lies
No more pain
I'll just close my eyes
And make you all go away
