Trying to bring her home..
She the one you only meet once in life,
And when you do you better make her your wife.
We were young and high,
Felt like we could fly.
Taught her to cook,
Like a recipe from a book.
Emo girl meets the outlaw,
Sharp blades to match his south paw.
They got caught he went away,
And her life began to stray.
He left her behind with his kin,
If only he knew what should have been.
3 years later he leaves those gates,
To find out hes almost to late.
At first he doesnt know how to react so he lays on back,
He...

Crooked
Hope love joy and peace is what I long for
But my smile is crooked making me so ugly I have to go pay for a whore
People are so superficial that I'm always alone
Can't even use the face lock screen because of my disability
Usually First Impressions consist of if I had a stroke or my parents were brother and sister like I'm some fucking hillbilly
Only wish you'd see me behind my hideous decor
Now every day you bring me closer to what's above
Content for just one kiss of those soft lips
Growing up all alone cafeteria I sit
Kids can be so...
But my smile is crooked making me so ugly I have to go pay for a whore
People are so superficial that I'm always alone
Can't even use the face lock screen because of my disability
Usually First Impressions consist of if I had a stroke or my parents were brother and sister like I'm some fucking hillbilly
Only wish you'd see me behind my hideous decor
Now every day you bring me closer to what's above

If then I only knew what I now know, I'd said NO.
Around and around and down I go, when will I stop, when I'm in the ground I'll know. It was never ours to begin with to hoard and withhold, render unto Caesar what is Caesar's it is owed, now within my own explosion I am ready to implode, as I think of all the spending spent and with not a rod dam thing to show. Once you've bought it you're sold and getting it back will take years more than four score and cost more than seventy eleven fold.
Slow is the hole made in your soul there goes your whole glow, wages paid promptly with dues in delinquency still owed, cash hard and cold for...

Halfway gone
Shadows of my wrongs
Come upon me
When I'm alone
They seek to destroy
What was a man
Now a little boy
Mind wages war
Two halves of myself
That are completely torn
One wants to live
Sees life as a
Beautiful gift
The other sees a cage
Wants nothing more
Than to escape
HELP!
I can't do this alone
Desperate and insecure
I'm halfway gone
Come upon me
When I'm alone
They seek to destroy
What was a man
Now a little boy
Mind wages war
Two halves of myself
That are completely torn
One wants to live
Sees life as a
Beautiful gift
The other sees a cage
Wants nothing more
Than to escape
HELP!
I can't do this alone
Desperate and insecure
I'm halfway gone

.. the call
anguished days past,
anxieties of tomorrows..
how long will it last,
this calendar of sorrow..
a flaming crash,
dates between the dash..
less there’s a stash
of friendly hearts to borrow..
anxieties of tomorrows..
how long will it last,
this calendar of sorrow..
a flaming crash,
dates between the dash..
less there’s a stash

Plastic Pills
Plastic Pills"
The waft of pinks and purples enter my soul, hitching with each ragged breath.
I Scribble the doodles dedicated to imagined obsessions and grandeur.
My mouth tastes of old, rancid plastic pills with minute, unsatisfying flavors.
I dry heave kisses and toxic words upon the soft plump lips of secrets.
My Winter scared his Summer away only to leave him in a pile of frosted dust.
I sweat out the memories of purity with a smile that is of stone.
I shrug off the sight of you with a guilt coated in magnetic...

Smut
these addictions are pros at enticing
draws me in so seductively
until I'm begging for just a taste
with an offer too good to be true
It's so much greater
than my heart
grips me
holds me
and I can't
I can't...
STOP!
I

this
Was

I'm crippled and lost
should of known it was a rigged system
wasn't as originally attended
only ever good for a quick hit
still, FUCK OFF!...

The selfish One
I maintained a certain structure a man should always carry about himself.
I made sure before you stepped you knew I had your back.
You showed me something I wasn’t prepared to endure.
The crown became yours before you knew you had it.
I took your words as of they were blood promises.
You knew you had my affection & you chose to play mind games.
I became your machine against anyone who spoke ill to you.
As you lay in the past time has made you aware of your wrongdoing.
The chance...

Freedom in Hell
I've been missing you
A little more than I would like to admit
Three sleepless nights
And pointless days
Spent trying to occupy my time
Distractions from that beautiful ride
We shared for awhile
But I was in denial
You were taking and taking
More than you would like to admit
Turning me into your slave
How can freedom be so confusing
I can go anywhere I want in Hell
But out..
My emotions are shot
I don't know how I feel or
How I'm supposed to
But I can't let you win
Our...

The lake
Free indeed and very pleased
Flying high on dodgy knees
No cats cradle and no need
Of those things I took in greed
Now this lake is all it takes
No more shit days with bellyache
Reflecting on past heartbreaks
Gone in a splash of fluid embrace
Flying high on dodgy knees
No cats cradle and no need
Of those things I took in greed
Now this lake is all it takes
No more shit days with bellyache
Reflecting on past heartbreaks
Gone in a splash of fluid embrace

Stark.
Grey.
The colour.
Fading.
Fixing hurriedly
Into dream.
Screaming.
Open wounds.
Delve deeper.
A journey.
Through capillaries.
Harvesting genomes.
Birthing release.
Oblivion bound.
The colour.
Fading.

Into dream.
Screaming.
Open wounds.
Delve deeper.
A journey.

Way home
I poured the drain
A drink today
Sick and tired of
Living this way
Spend precious time
Waiting on something
That brought me nothing
But heartache and strife
So take these chains away
I'm taking back my freedom
Walking that long way
Back to Eden
I'm jumping off this carousel
It's making me sick
Tired of hitting my head
Against these same broken bricks
Had enough of hanging
Onto a fake reality
I'm turning my eyes
Toward victory
I had control ...

I'm jumping off this carousel

Tired of hitting my head
Against these same broken bricks

Onto a fake reality
