She was tricked
You and me
Let's do it!
The rooftop tonight
Life hasn't been so good to us
She agreed
We arrived at the top of our apartment complex
10 stories down is the sidewalk
I looked at her she looked at me
I turned away
She threw herself away
Let's do it!
The rooftop tonight
Life hasn't been so good to us
She agreed
We arrived at the top of our apartment complex
10 stories down is the sidewalk
I looked at her she looked at me
I turned away
She threw herself away

Mentally Teasing
She touched him
She showed herself
She took him from her
She made him into a human wreck
She showed herself
She took him from her
She made him into a human wreck

Masquerade
Behind the glowing screen before your face,
You rather portray another,
Than live honestly,
You think you’re so clever.
I pity that you pretend to be what you’re not,
Gallivanting around like a knight,
Yet you’re a mere peasant,
You are not intelligent or bright.
I dare you to reveal yourself,
Instead of this lie you’ve built,
You are a coward,
So this dare will not be filled.
Wasting the time of innocent people,
You continue to be unbothered,
Sad and pathetic,
You do not deserve honor.
You rather portray another,
Than live honestly,
You think you’re so clever.
I pity that you pretend to be what you’re not,
Gallivanting around like a knight,
Yet you’re a mere peasant,
You are not intelligent or bright.
I dare you to reveal yourself,
Instead of this lie you’ve built,
You are a coward,
So this dare will not be filled.
Wasting the time of innocent people,
You continue to be unbothered,
Sad and pathetic,
You do not deserve honor.

It destroys
It controls
You can never guess
What it will do
It chooses a victim
And won’t let them go
If you interfere
It will slice you in two
Like a snake
It sneaks and it spies
When it’s behind you
You can feel its eyes
With its tongue
It will cut and will bruise
It can gain an army
To make sure you lose
If you were to slice off its head
I’m sure it would grow back
For it never gives up
It refuses to quit
It lies and it cheats
And...

Overpersuasion
Your parents have a problem and you live in constant pain
Your atmosphere is darkness as you begin to go insane
And the way you're going, you'll turn out the same
You hear the words of wisdom as you practice what you tell
You follow your parents teachings, as they threaten you to hell
And the way you're going, you'll turn out the same
My advice to you, is to follow what's in your heart
For if you don't, you'll be finished before you ever start
And the way you're going, you'll turn out the same
Your atmosphere is darkness as you begin to go insane
And the way you're going, you'll turn out the same
You hear the words of wisdom as you practice what you tell
You follow your parents teachings, as they threaten you to hell
And the way you're going, you'll turn out the same
My advice to you, is to follow what's in your heart
For if you don't, you'll be finished before you ever start
And the way you're going, you'll turn out the same

Little Guy On My Shoulder
Little Guy on my shoulder
You’re good at skewing my perspective
Your insecurities transfer to me
So emotionally, I’m insane.
A sliver of glee cannot last
You always get in the way
To remind me of my forbidden lover
With you I must stay.
Never have you been physical
But in your presence I’m terrified
To hear the crude words you speak
Proves a level of toxicity.
I can’t help but ponder
“How do you speak to kin?”
“Do you call them a bitch, too?”
No, I bet you don’t even yell at them.
I know...

Extended Family Betrayal
In the quiet desert of One Street Town,
The marshal returns, his expression worn down.
His star badge shines in the dimming light,
As he heads home to escape the night.
But under his roof, a twist unfolds,
Where secrets and betrayals quietly mould.
Through a window's view, a scene so stark,
His ex-wife's son kisses his wife's daughter in the dark.
Rage ignites like wildfire, fierce and wild,
He storms inside, a storm unbridled.
Voices clash, sharp as thunder's roar,
Words of anger pierce through the core.
His hand...
The marshal returns, his expression worn down.
His star badge shines in the dimming light,
As he heads home to escape the night.
But under his roof, a twist unfolds,
Where secrets and betrayals quietly mould.
Through a window's view, a scene so stark,
His ex-wife's son kisses his wife's daughter in the dark.
Rage ignites like wildfire, fierce and wild,
He storms inside, a storm unbridled.
Voices clash, sharp as thunder's roar,
Words of anger pierce through the core.
His hand...

Robotic Parts
You’re looking away
From me
Our eyes won’t
meet
But you’re still
Looking at
Me
I see it
In the lenses
Planted in the
Hollows of my skull
This love
Is cannibalistic
And it’s
Sadistic
To call it
Love
To teach
Me to feel
And teach me
A distorted
Picture
You hold me
And say
You can’t
Feel me
But I’m
Breathing in your
Ear
Its steady
Even though I
Feel lightheaded
And breathless
I feel wilted
I am seeking ...
From me
Our eyes won’t
meet
But you’re still
Looking at
Me
I see it
In the lenses
Planted in the
Hollows of my skull
This love
Is cannibalistic
And it’s
Sadistic
To call it
Love
To teach
Me to feel
And teach me
A distorted
Picture
You hold me
And say
You can’t
Feel me
But I’m
Breathing in your

Even though I
Feel lightheaded
And breathless
I feel wilted

Leaving
Get up.
Why?
You need to go.
Why?
It won’t hold.
I can hold on..
No.
Why not?
It won’t hold you.
It doesn’t have to, I’m holding on.
NO! It won’t hold YOU.
I don’t.. understand..
I’m staying here, you’re leaving.
But we can’t split up, I need you here.
If you stay, we’ll both die.
But I need you.
I’ll go insane without you.
I’ll call, or uh.. write?
No, I can’t leave you!
You’re not leaving...
Why?
You need to go.
Why?
It won’t hold.
I can hold on..
No.
Why not?
It won’t hold you.
It doesn’t have to, I’m holding on.
NO! It won’t hold YOU.
I don’t.. understand..
I’m staying here, you’re leaving.
But we can’t split up, I need you here.
If you stay, we’ll both die.
But I need you.
I’ll go insane without you.
I’ll call, or uh.. write?
No, I can’t leave you!
You’re not leaving...

Untitled
A fractured light, but I can see
Where your secrets have fucked the fabric
Punish the youth, with child abuse
Conserving what? you aren't the savior
Evangelical tyrant, your blood is cum
Impregnating the whore of Babylon.
You build our cities
With painted paper
On the blood of the prepubescent
Raped, then cleaned
Placed in the window like nothings wrong
The smoking gun is in our faces, yet we turn and pray.
When the cold death falls
Upon your skyscrapers and shopping malls
The sky will spring a leak
And...
Where your secrets have fucked the fabric
Punish the youth, with child abuse
Conserving what? you aren't the savior
Evangelical tyrant, your blood is cum
Impregnating the whore of Babylon.
You build our cities
With painted paper
On the blood of the prepubescent
Raped, then cleaned
Placed in the window like nothings wrong
The smoking gun is in our faces, yet we turn and pray.
When the cold death falls
Upon your skyscrapers and shopping malls
The sky will spring a leak
