Why
Why, oh why
Why, oh why, do I?
Why, oh why
Why, oh why, do I?
Let myself down
Leave myself open to your ridicule
Fake through a frown
Wake up feeling so miserable
My conscience has drowned
Downing shot, after shot, drinking round, after round
I’m on top,
not for long,
then I drop,
to the ground
Pray the fog
In my conscious
I’m lost in for now
just a cloud
That will pass
But my grasp
Is at half strength
I’m gasping
Drive fast
And by chance
Send my car...
Why, oh why, do I?
Why, oh why
Why, oh why, do I?
Let myself down
Leave myself open to your ridicule
Fake through a frown
Wake up feeling so miserable
My conscience has drowned
Downing shot, after shot, drinking round, after round
I’m on top,
not for long,
then I drop,
to the ground
Pray the fog
In my conscious
I’m lost in for now
just a cloud
That will pass
But my grasp
Is at half strength
I’m gasping
Drive fast
And by chance
Send my car...

That One Lonely Whisper
Here
We go again
Apathy spreads
Like a dark blanket
Untying
Me from sanity
Sinking
Further into darkness
It’s like quicksand
Slowly shrinking from the world
Broken logic
No longer protects
The bloody mind
Hits out again
Thoughts of paranoia
Become more
The voices of reason
In an upside down world
Everything
That’s tangled
Is unravelling
Wild eyes see more clearly
Insanity
Has a new...
We go again

Like a dark blanket

Sinking
Further into darkness
It’s like quicksand
Slowly shrinking from the world

Thoughts of paranoia

Enoch
I asked her what she wanted to be
She whispered..."Alive"
I stood before my father
Blood drenched hands
As the ground swallowed the body
Of a friend that I've outgrown
"Like father like son" I said
But I never wanted this
Being dead,
Just seemed so much easier
I poured the puppy dog tears on my mother
Teased her endlessly in my mind
What a manipulative fiend I've become...
Running from my own hatred
Until it turned into laughter
What good has that gotten me?
I lust for blood...
She whispered..."Alive"
I stood before my father
Blood drenched hands
As the ground swallowed the body
Of a friend that I've outgrown
"Like father like son" I said
But I never wanted this
Being dead,
Just seemed so much easier
I poured the puppy dog tears on my mother
Teased her endlessly in my mind
What a manipulative fiend I've become...
Running from my own hatred
Until it turned into laughter
What good has that gotten me?
I lust for blood...

Depression
What am I forgetting?
I hope its not too important.
He told himself
As the friends he once cared for
Drift further away and the
Bridges we once built
To the places we don't remember slowly delapidate
Through neglect
At least I still have you
I hope its not too important.
He told himself
As the friends he once cared for
Drift further away and the
Bridges we once built
To the places we don't remember slowly delapidate
Through neglect
At least I still have you

Desolation
desolation gazing inward
across my expanded form
and finds me here, supine
struggling while accepting
these incongruent paths
twisting and curving
with sexy lines and a wicked
pair of eyes into a singular
cohesive, bloody train wreck
the aftermath of destruction
bringing grief
swallowed whole
dysfunction snapping
with its bared, sharp teeth
at rough un-pedicured heels
a suspicious, old stray dog
with unkempt, matted fur
barking absurdly,
misunderstanding
in his confusion
that I ceased to...

I don't
I don’t hate you, but I don’t care.
I don’t love you. You are not there.
I don’t like you, so go to Hell!
I feel nothing for you, oh well.
I never loved you like I loved her.
I don’t want you, I have no anger.
I feel nothing but apathy.
I truly don’t give a fuck if you are happy.

Ghosty, you there?
It's always whiskey, baby
That brings these dreams on
Those damn eyes, that voice
That uniform, your poetry
A young man and a broken girl
I always curse myself out
Everytime I look up your name
How creepy can I get?
It's a reminder, don't you dare love
Love is a minefield and you were just the first mine
I have shrapnel in my heart with your name on it
I'm over it, I swear to the Gods, I am
I have loved others, but there's something about your first
Lingers in flashes, in echoes of other heartbreaks
If you shake me you'll...

Facing the Facts
These eyes
Driven
down
ward
Heavy with burden
and visions of hopelessness
These ears
Filled with condescending voices
muffled heartbeats, and the
echoing screams of
"a hollow [ ] child"
This nose
Filled with the scent of
despair
mingled with stale cigarettes
and ¢heap bourbon
This mouth
Dry from a lack of communication
bitter with the taste of
failure
A face of...

Huh?
It’s stupid because
You’re avoiding
the truth
feminism always
worked for me
because I was
a coward and
I wouldn’t have
To do what men
Traditionally
Did
You’re standing on the
Shoulders of gigantic
Idiots
I can’t feel
Anything
Anymore
If you agree
With me, I’ve
Failed as an
Artist
Little things that
Are little known
If we stopped
Lying to each
Other, we’d no
Longer be
Human
86% of the homeless ...

Score
I feel the nausea again.
Just scored my only true friend.
She screams to me "let me in!"
The blood dancing with her sin.
Gripping my heart, slowing beats.
I slowly starve while she eats.
Slipping down into the nod.
I love her, she is my God.
It's as pathetic as it seems.
Forced into sleep without dreams.
Lying in puddles of sweat.
This is as good as it gets.
Then all the lights come back on.
Of course my true friend is gone.
I long to find her once more.
If it be thy will, let me score.
Just scored my only true friend.
She screams to me "let me in!"
The blood dancing with her sin.
Gripping my heart, slowing beats.
I slowly starve while she eats.
Slipping down into the nod.
I love her, she is my God.
It's as pathetic as it seems.
Forced into sleep without dreams.
Lying in puddles of sweat.
This is as good as it gets.
Then all the lights come back on.
Of course my true friend is gone.
I long to find her once more.
If it be thy will, let me score.

Inevitably rude
You invite me in
To find out what I'm up to
What I got, where I'm at
What I'm into, and such
You invite me into
To summarize my statements
Make judgements
See my running haste
Find my tempo, my pace
You invite me into
Your superiority complex
What you know goes
You invite me to stay distant
But close
You invite me into
A complex maze
You haven't discerned
Which way to go
To find out what I'm up to
What I got, where I'm at
What I'm into, and such
You invite me into
To summarize my statements
Make judgements
See my running haste
Find my tempo, my pace
You invite me into
Your superiority complex
What you know goes
You invite me to stay distant
But close
You invite me into
A complex maze
You haven't discerned
Which way to go
