Dark Rooms
Oh sharp the tongues we wield
As we are born into the ocean of our lives
I lost my breath and found it again
There’s nothing like suffocating
To teach our lungs not to take the air for granted
Family fire and psychological warfare
Intimidation factors of projected fears
I pulled the gun on myself when I shot you
Because the mirror is the critic
The question is what we do with the motive
Genetic aches and atrophy
Hand me down coping mechanisms
Medicating to live with ourselves
Learning to tolerate routine

Moody f**k
It’s an art form
Loving my own misery
I’ve got reasons
Try to keep balance
Sometimes it’s an overload
Then I retreat inside
Fellow travelers
Maybe I’ll see you there
Self harm a go go
Laugh to keep from crying
Loving my own misery
I’ve got reasons
Try to keep balance
Sometimes it’s an overload
Then I retreat inside
Fellow travelers
Maybe I’ll see you there
Self harm a go go
Laugh to keep from crying

Depressed as f**k
It's a quarter past midnight
Am scrolling through endless videos
But can't seem to connect to anything
I'm overwhelmed by emotion
And sad as fuck.
Sad Songs on repeat,
Anything to help me work through it.
Though I know someone out there waits for me tomorrow
I feel an infinite loneliness
And I know this grave is self dug
Many people try to reach out
Always told them I'm fine
Put a smile on my face
I've learnt how to pretend
But deep inside I feel quite the opposite
I've tried to...

Collecting dust
You used to laugh
And bring so much joy
Now you're covered in sorrow
Collecting dust like a forgotten toy
We shared our highs
And definitely had our lows
I learned to resist the demons
But you couldn't say no
I watched you fade
Like an apparition in the corner of my eye
You wanted nothing more
Than to feel your next high
Cut yourself off
From everyone who cared
Alone you sat
Slowly wasting the years
I wish I could have done something
But you didn't want to be saved
Now all I have...
And bring so much joy
Now you're covered in sorrow
Collecting dust like a forgotten toy
We shared our highs
And definitely had our lows
I learned to resist the demons
But you couldn't say no
I watched you fade
Like an apparition in the corner of my eye
You wanted nothing more
Than to feel your next high
Cut yourself off
From everyone who cared
Alone you sat
Slowly wasting the years
I wish I could have done something
But you didn't want to be saved
Now all I have...

The four mistakes you made
Taking my body was the first mistake,
Tearing It apart was the second.
Oh please depression go away,
So I can be free one day.
Slicing and cutting me wildly,
The blood flows out,
As I walk silently,
I'm asking myself what's it all about.
Destroying my heart was the third mistake.
Stealing my soul was the fourth.
Oh please depression go away,
So I can be free one day.
You laugh at me.
I'm shattered and broken.
You torture me.
My life meaningless and unspoken.
You can't make any mistakes...
Tearing It apart was the second.
Oh please depression go away,
So I can be free one day.
Slicing and cutting me wildly,
The blood flows out,
As I walk silently,
I'm asking myself what's it all about.
Destroying my heart was the third mistake.
Stealing my soul was the fourth.
Oh please depression go away,
So I can be free one day.
You laugh at me.
I'm shattered and broken.
You torture me.
My life meaningless and unspoken.
You can't make any mistakes...

Deep down inside
Deep down inside,
I feel evil in me.
It's so hard to deal with,
I only want to be free.
Taking this knife in my hand,
Reaching it to my wrist.
I tried to cut,
But she told me to make a fist.
Don't do it it's to much to risk,
That's what she sad.
I try to keep my promise,
But deep down inside I feel so bad.
So torn up by life,
Not wanting to live any longer.
Trying to kill myself,
I can't get any stronger.
Not enough to free myself,
Deep down inside.
I have no options left.
To...
I feel evil in me.
It's so hard to deal with,
I only want to be free.
Taking this knife in my hand,
Reaching it to my wrist.
I tried to cut,
But she told me to make a fist.
Don't do it it's to much to risk,
That's what she sad.
I try to keep my promise,
But deep down inside I feel so bad.
So torn up by life,
Not wanting to live any longer.
Trying to kill myself,
I can't get any stronger.
Not enough to free myself,
Deep down inside.
I have no options left.

Seeing red again
Her sights gone red
All her feelings condescend
Her arms and mind mutilated
Every muscle in her aches
Everything blurred and black
As her rage attacks
Ptsdbis the only thing controlling her
As she comes too
She prayers for light
But to her dismay,
Blood pours from her skin
She's drowned by darkness
Again
The glass shattered in cuts
Upon my wrists
She just wants to see
She just wants to be free
Let loose from the grip
Of Ptsd
She says she just wants ...
All her feelings condescend
Her arms and mind mutilated
Every muscle in her aches
Everything blurred and black
As her rage attacks
Ptsdbis the only thing controlling her
As she comes too
She prayers for light
But to her dismay,
Blood pours from her skin
She's drowned by darkness
Again
The glass shattered in cuts
Upon my wrists
She just wants to see
She just wants to be free
Let loose from the grip
Of Ptsd
She says she just wants ...

As it Seems
A silent killer in my sleep,
The assassination of my dreams.
Nightmare fuelled instincts rise.
Nothing is as it seems.
Delusional thinking taking over.
Shadows, spectres and screams.
I’m seeing things that shouldn’t be here.
Nothing is as it seems.
It’s trying to scratch and break me,
Stitches tearing at the seams.
Bleeding all over the floor,
But nothing is as it seems,
Violently and scared I wake up,
Sweat running down my back in streams.
Is see my blood soaked sheets,
Everything is as it seems.
The assassination of my dreams.
Nightmare fuelled instincts rise.
Nothing is as it seems.
Delusional thinking taking over.
Shadows, spectres and screams.
I’m seeing things that shouldn’t be here.
Nothing is as it seems.
It’s trying to scratch and break me,
Stitches tearing at the seams.
Bleeding all over the floor,
But nothing is as it seems,
Violently and scared I wake up,
Sweat running down my back in streams.
Is see my blood soaked sheets,
Everything is as it seems.

I cut
I cut because I can see my pain slowly fade away
I cut because I know things will never be okay
I cut because my heart will forever be broken
I cut trying to hide all my feelings that remain unspoken
I cut because my life is killing me inside
I cut because it's something that long sleeve and a fake smile can hide
I cut because I feel so alone
I cut because no other path has been shown
I cut because it just feels so right
I cut because the scarlet blood shines so bright
I cut to feel in control of the pain deep inside
I cut...
I cut because I know things will never be okay
I cut because my heart will forever be broken
I cut trying to hide all my feelings that remain unspoken
I cut because my life is killing me inside
I cut because it's something that long sleeve and a fake smile can hide
I cut because I feel so alone
I cut because no other path has been shown
I cut because it just feels so right
I cut because the scarlet blood shines so bright
I cut to feel in control of the pain deep inside
I cut...

Disrupted Existence
You thought I was mad_ perhaps I was. Perhaps I am.. It doesn’t make for sanity, does it, living with the devil. “ - Daphne Du Maurier
Feeding an abundance of lust
Violence, blood, and gore
Servant to the grave
Living dead horror
Proud of her depravity
Enjoying an obsession with the
Brutality and passion of the
Dark creatures who once frightened her
Proud of the hardening of her skin
Her tough presence organizing support
Exuding a confidence that
Brings comfort inside assertiveness to her in times of...

Oxygen
I walk the streets
Through a misting rain
On my way
To get lost again
The clouds keep pushing down
Till I'm five and a half feet in the ground
It won't be much longer
Till I'm no longer around
I tried my best for you
But my best wasn't enough
Got home from work
And you'd packed all your stuff
There were things
I just couldn't give up
I guess you thought I would
Well I did too
But this thing has become a part of me
Like the oxygen I breathe
Just cut your losses
And let me be
Through a misting rain
On my way
To get lost again
The clouds keep pushing down
Till I'm five and a half feet in the ground
It won't be much longer
Till I'm no longer around
I tried my best for you
But my best wasn't enough
Got home from work
And you'd packed all your stuff
There were things
I just couldn't give up
I guess you thought I would
Well I did too
But this thing has become a part of me
Like the oxygen I breathe
Just cut your losses
And let me be
