Oh how you used to dominate my life,you intoxicating nectar
I would give everything I had for I could feel numb to reality
Every waking moment I would give to you for I wouldn't have to feel
But I don't miss the urges you gave me, how I would come to your becking call
Nor do I miss the headaches i would get when you left me the next day
I found a new high to chase and dominate my life
Instead of all my money going to you it all goes to the gym
Every waking moment tormenting my body for i can ignore you
Every ounce of sweat and pain for i can drown out...
I would give everything I had for I could feel numb to reality
Every waking moment I would give to you for I wouldn't have to feel
But I don't miss the urges you gave me, how I would come to your becking call
Nor do I miss the headaches i would get when you left me the next day
I found a new high to chase and dominate my life
Instead of all my money going to you it all goes to the gym
Every waking moment tormenting my body for i can ignore you
Every ounce of sweat and pain for i can drown out...

Get away.
Please listen.
I cant face that truth anymore.
It burdens my weary soul.
I will wallow in the despair I prefer.
Thank you very much all the same .
Jesus was once a friend....we lost touch.
That might of been my fault.
He has many other friends or so I've heard.
A world like ours spins too fast.
I want to get off, I dont want to participate any longer.
There are no real freedoms.
I think you'll find it's a matter of perception.
Security is just a myth.
Our mortality hangs by a thin thread.
What was once concrete...

What I Truly Love
I'm trying my best to stay away from crystal but it's harder than telling a racist cop to holster their pistol I don't know what to do about this feeling I can't stop feening I wanna pop pills and snort multiple lines to be higher than the fucking ceiling so instead I smoke weed and picked up drinking I don't know what I was thinking alcohol isn't much better it'll just turn what feels like a sunny day into rainy weather not being able to always be fucked up makes me rather die because drugs are what I truly love.

I Can Make You Feel Good
You like that don't you
"Yes I think I do"
There's no one else here except me and you
I can make you feel good
You realize don't you, no one cares but me
I'm the only one that can really see
The fear, the pain, that you endure everyday
If you let me I can make them go away
Just allow me once to be your friend
All rips and tears I will mend
Overeating or afraid of food
Just lie with me, I can make you feel good
Abuse, I'll end of any kind
With a little time I'll heal your mind
Take off...

AA Meeting
I saw a lot depressed individuals at the meeting.
Most of them talked about how much they appreciate their opportunity to quit.
One particular man caught my attention.
The man said:
''I see a few young people here and it makes me sad. So young and addicted.
No human should ever try being addicted enough to go through losing their job, house, wife and family.
Especially young people, you don´t know how to raise up again.´´
He is right.
I dropped out of High School. I ain’t got no exams. I can’t go to college.

Mirrored Flaws
Do you ever stare at yourself in the mirror
Disconnected from the fear and longing in your dreary eyes
Wondering if others see you the way you are in the moment
Tortured with anguish the lonely girl fighting her way outside
For the eyes are the gate to your soul
Or so they say but if so my soul is tainted losing control searching for something to drown in the void
Searching for answers to questions everyone else finds paranoid
Breaking down as i stare into these foreign eyes until my vision blurs

Cloud 9
Inhaling, all I take is deep breaths
Exhaling, my mind drift into deep thoughts
Of a foggy space
Far pass Cloud 9
Give my body such a deep rush
Faster than any Cali OG Kush
Becoming so blunt
I inhale your smoke
No, you’re not drug
But you get me so high...
Exhaling, my mind drift into deep thoughts
Of a foggy space
Far pass Cloud 9
Give my body such a deep rush
Faster than any Cali OG Kush
Becoming so blunt
I inhale your smoke
No, you’re not drug

slow motion implosion
Unrealistic expectations
Please erase my drunken sins
Such a lonely cynic I've become
Just a shadow of the former one.
The ugly truth
My daunting addiction
Just a desperate self-seeker
Obsessed with affliction.
The chemical recoil inside of my brain
An emotional drip I long to maintain
Though soon I'll collapse in some stellar implosion
Have a seat, watch me crumble
I'm coming down in slow-motion.
Please erase my drunken sins
Such a lonely cynic I've become
Just a shadow of the former one.

Just a desperate self-seeker
Obsessed with affliction.

Addiction
What am I supposed to write about if it's not you?
You're the only thing occupying my mind, it's true.
Endless scenes play over in my mind and they won't go away.
I want to run to you and spill all of the things I couldn't say.
The things I was too scared for you to hear.
The things that were canceled out by fear.
I want you to know how special you are to me.
I want to show you, but how do I make you see?
You're broken and I don't know how to put together the pieces.
I don't have the power you think, the power that you're...

Hope and pray
Observing..
desperately trying to find a way out.
But all I see is brickwalls and mortar.
So many hopes and dreams,
As i watch your life line,
Get shorter and shorter..
Nobody knows what to do,
An ordeal for you,
And a nightmare for us too..
We observe the pain,
The misery and torment of all you go through..
But only one person can halt
The destructive path that your on,
Only one person can change
The person you've become..
But your blind.
You just can't see.
You have the potential...
desperately trying to find a way out.
But all I see is brickwalls and mortar.
So many hopes and dreams,
As i watch your life line,
Get shorter and shorter..
Nobody knows what to do,
An ordeal for you,
And a nightmare for us too..
We observe the pain,
The misery and torment of all you go through..
But only one person can halt
The destructive path that your on,
Only one person can change
The person you've become..
But your blind.
You just can't see.
You have the potential...

Unraveled
Maternal Void you wish so desperately to be full
Whose Emptiness resounds in the pit of your Soul
Thirsty for the passion of a dark soul'd woman
Tempted by that sweet unavailable bosom
Lust with destruction brings incomparable Highs
Not realizing your desire is Sickness in disguise
Won't ever be worthy of a true solid Queen
Too polished to be wasted on a twisted Boy King
Freudian Child brimming with sex
Unraveled demons beneath a seasoned caress
Tragic demise when Morality slips
Developed craving for secrets and Back Page...

Alternatively amused.
Stretching arms to touch the sky.
Pulling skin to meet the senses.
Killing nerves in order to fulfill.
The deepest desire that hurts this soul.
Scratching the sores that dominate everything.
Come to me in the dreams of the innocent.
Burn to the core the lust that holds tight.
Ongoing and driven the pulsating ambition.
An all encompassing addiction that feels too good.
Never leave me, or allow me to neutralise.
I can longer exist without your tender touch.
So now come and infect me deeply.
That I might know the inner release. ...
