Stockholm Looking back, we dissect the artist of the past Attribute societal construct to imagination Interpret the artist’s perception as consequence of experience See the world around them, in their time, through their eyes Imagine what they will say about us When the future looks back at the time we’re in What a society they will have to attribute What perceptions Of hate and fear, anxiety and isolation I have seen what wars are made of That fear burrows and how it distorts The faces of others, those not like us Become less than human, and a threat From that hate begets ****** justified We know isolation Anxiety is armor, it keeps us safe Fear rapes our souls, changes our senses There is no comfort to seek from those who know us intimately From everyone we’ve never met until now The others What is solidarity anyway Its easier to live this way

Stockholm
Implosive dreams Drain my reality Encumbered waves Pull the life from caves My heart beats slow To a stand still Almost invisible Fading away from All that I knew Forgive me I need me And never you Unimportant Leave me here Alone but don’t go Show me you But not that you Don’t ask for me Conditionally Just give me you Give me a reason To forget myself I don’t want to exist You can do that for me For me Do all you can To appease me Craft my interactions Because I don’t want the responsibility I only want to be Who you want me to be I don’t want to think I want to glide off Into nonexistence I need to exist Only in you I plead you Give me what I need Give me anonymity Ignore me Drive me **** me Survive me Until I am no longer me

Entrapment
Take my Eyes Take them so I cannot see Please, take them from me Cannot bear all the ugly The sins laid before me The ghosts behind me Don’t be modest Nor scared Nor guilty A favor to me Shut them to the world many years now Refusing to look at what I might be They are no good to me Take them I plead Save me from having to see

Take My Eyes
I had to unravel I had to break down piece by ******* piece Tear down those rigid walls Forgo those tight knit bridges And plummet into my own abyss Wake up unrecognizable Welcome the hatred for the person id become Feel the terror of being outside myself Bare, raw, uncut Against all my moral beliefs I created this tormented shell of a woman And demanding of her what I could not demand of myself Bone dry honesty And I got, I ******* got it It tore the earth from my feet The foundation I had relied on And being someone else, I saw me In true form Who I once was, and I was enlightened She was strong and proud Honest and unwavering I admired her courage But I am no longer her Now, in my pit My rock ******* bottom I know who I was Who I can be again And the smallest glimmer of hope shines through The self-hatred and hopelessness I will get back to you

Lose Myself
Its still you Still another day Your on my mind You drive me The drinks the drugs The random guys My life All fueled by you Everything I do You're here In my thoughts In the back of my life Driving me to insanity To pain and loss I cannot let go Of it Of you Your face The fact that your still affecting me Hurts me more Knowing that I gave you power And you took it Smashed it and broke it With no regard And now im here At the bottom of my life I don’t miss my momma I don’t miss my old life Like I miss your eyes Your validity The way you made me feel Its irriplacable Because its still you I cant move on Cant find someone new While im down here Missing you Loving you I cant stop Im not brave Im weak And scared That someone else will Hurt me the way you do So I do me I play dudes like strings Anything to feel a bit of the power That you gave me And stole back Like crack I do ****** up **** Everyday I don’t even recognize myself any more My voids are to vast to fill But ******* it I try Everyday, to do it my way And forget your face But you have my heart And I cant replace what you gave me And then took away Maybe someday Ill get myself back If it’s the last thing I do And at this rate It just might be

Be safe Don’t let them in Don’t do this again Remember last time You let them win They took over you And over again

Be Safe
Burned it to the ground There’s not time enough to explain For you to comprehend the horror That befell upon that tower All you see are remnants Of a building That took a century to compose Built by the locals From hate and degradation Had you the fortune to see her Before the source of light Lit her a flame Your breath stolen Animation devoid Gaze professed to no other Would never forget The pure power that grew From the aberration But the light was enough To reduce all that stability To ash But wonder still If she was created from greater threats than nothing itself What will she become When she merely has ash to concur She toils, I see Defeat she will not succumb

Ash Tower
When you lie Where you're at The space you take Takes me back Reminiscing about the last One to take that space And the next Who will take your place When you lie Where you're at

Liar
I miss you but Can’t bear to remember you I do remember the girl who came When I met you I bet she remembers I bet she has perfect recall You made her out of essence Made her feel important You told her silently that she was enough She fit into your grooves Her smart mouth challenged yours The tide takes what’s beneath That’s how it went You rolled in and made a different version of me And when you left she died She disappeared in your absence But I still feel her Yearning for you Believing she can live again I am not so optimistic She was created from you But to me This is all familiar And I know there will be others But not you Never you I will never get that version of myself back

Ghost of You
This island is my home now This is where I live Here Alone There were others But no more Its probably why they left me here With the outcasts No regard for their lives They just abandoned them Here With me I’m not complaining They were delicious But my hunger grows And I need more
