trying to write out my feelings instead of cutting
anguish is flowing in red rivers beneath my skin
and it’s screaming to be let out
i couldn’t tell you where it came from
all i know is that i’m wired wrong
i wouldn’t dare try to talk to anyone beforehand
people either freak out or act annoyed
and in such a vulnerable state,
that is the cyanide of human communication
i wish someone would help me
the way i need to be helped
i usually feel stressed
numb
sad
ashamed
lonely
and overwhelmed ...

Behind Yinsel
just let go
all the pain in you
watch the blood
flow like a flood
the festive tints
over bloody footprints
circles of red
be careful where you tread
no more feeling
little actual healing
this invisible entity
has hit the limit of eternity
red alert
it's a dead cert
i think of death
with each breath
all the pain in you
watch the blood
flow like a flood
the festive tints
over bloody footprints
circles of red
be careful where you tread
no more feeling
little actual healing
this invisible entity
has hit the limit of eternity
red alert
it's a dead cert
i think of death
with each breath

Guilt, Fear And Loathing
I think it's almost time
To drop everything
And take that giant step
That takes me away from here
There's no happiness
In my life and times
Only angry words
And hateful states
It just makes me feel like
Today's the day
I have everything I need
To take me away
So what is holding me back?
Fear?
Guilt?
Maybe even hope?
I don't know why I'm thinking like this
It's an anguished thought in my head
But it's pulling me in
To drop everything
And take that giant step
That takes me away from here
There's no happiness
In my life and times
Only angry words
And hateful states
It just makes me feel like
Today's the day
I have everything I need
To take me away
So what is holding me back?
Fear?
Guilt?
Maybe even hope?
I don't know why I'm thinking like this
It's an anguished thought in my head
But it's pulling me in

Vampiric
My heart won't wait forever
And the stop
the stop the clock
is ticking
Ever closer.
The stars align at night they say
it's over.
A handful of rocks won't fix this mistake I made
and I'm making
No excuses after this
I'm open to what the cards hold.
My heart won't go forever
I'm losing the motor
and the car just
won't go.
Shaking back
Fake laughs
In a group of the classic
Pageantry
I made with my own stupid ass
Self esteem
borderline
vampiric...

blood stain lyrics
her mood
unrestrained,
blood stain
lyrics
play songs
from
her open
wrists,
the drops
form
gardens
on the
floor, but
her eyes
cannot see.

Fragile life
Fragile life
Guiding light
For the blind
Trust noone
Especially yourself
When broken thoughts are your life
Run from one sinking ship to another
Titanic, Britannic
It's all so manic
Colors fade and go away
When you're having an episode
"Welcome to the show!
We've got something for all the girls and boys!"
Lying in bed
Smothered in covers
The circus still rages in my head
It's a toxic combination
Tears fall
Sometime...

Assimilation complete
A disease courses through the veins
Corrupting every molecule
Infecting the synapses of the brain
This sickness wants to rule
Control every fiber
Till you're caught in its web
Waiting to be devoured
Comes on slow
Like the mist around midnight
Then rapidly steals
Your perception and insight
Assimilation complete
No longer a man
You're just a drunk
Who can't even stand
Corrupting every molecule
Infecting the synapses of the brain
This sickness wants to rule
Control every fiber
Till you're caught in its web
Waiting to be devoured
Comes on slow
Like the mist around midnight
Then rapidly steals
Your perception and insight
Assimilation complete
No longer a man
You're just a drunk
Who can't even stand

All There Is
Once forgiven, twice removed
I never begged or played nice before
What makes you think
This time will be any different??
Starts out slow
Then it bites through
You pick up the pace
Scared and excited
Caught between wanting to stop
And wanting it to end
Tired
Too afraid to stop
Swimming for survival
Never needed a friend
Just a hand,
just another trying to live
For anything better
Once forgiven, twice removed
I never begged or played nice before
Strike a match and watch the flame ...
I never begged or played nice before
What makes you think
This time will be any different??
Starts out slow
Then it bites through
You pick up the pace
Scared and excited
Caught between wanting to stop
And wanting it to end
Tired
Too afraid to stop
Swimming for survival
Never needed a friend
Just a hand,
just another trying to live
For anything better
Once forgiven, twice removed
I never begged or played nice before
Strike a match and watch the flame ...

Crux
I don't think I ever
learned how to trust
inconsistency
it will never be enough
colorblind
every flag is red
self sabotage
I feel incompetent
my deepest need
my deepest regret
I build my walls
and torment myself
don't need nobody
I'll be by myself
now I'm alone and
I need someone else
knife in my back
hallucination or reality
I just need to breathe
it's suffocating me
this never ending cycle
bleeds into eternity
I'm bursting at the seams
somebody hear me...

Ramblings of a Teenage Girl
I think he hates me
He definitely loves me but I sense a part of his heart sustains an amount of hatred he may not care to acknowledge
I care
I care about a lot of things
Like the ladybugs trapped in my bedroom window or the flowers in the front yard
About the way my hair falls against my face or whether or not the buttons on my jeans match the tone of my jewelry
I care about clean sheets, perfectly stacked sandwiches, smooth calves and soft shoulders - the way he likes them
But I also care about the scars on my arms and my hips and my thighs
I care...
