Suck my cliche
Here we are again, lights off on your bed And I'm convinced there's nothing more meaningless than words strung together They don't make any sense Here we are again with your hands around my neck And I'm content to let you go feelingless like words strung together They don't make any sense But there's a difference between loving something useless and letting its uselessness be what you love It's dark in these rooms, but between me and you I'd rather never leave any one Because even though I cannot see, I've never felt more at home Than when I cannot breathe And when I am not shown the things that can make me bleed, I'd rather Cut up my throne I'd rather be all alone Here we are again, killing with a deadly pen And I'm offended you thought I'd be reading this Your words are strung together They don't make any sense Here you are my friend, a free man's head But I confess, it's not the bearer of solace His head is strung together He does not make sense ~ Here we are again, we seem to start at the end And I must digress, the blood on the wall is not red The words are strung together They don't make any sense So once more my friend, I really do regret But I won't forget the fateful story that begins in bed The words are strung together They will never make sense

you think you have all the time in the world, and that is your biggest mistake. you can't rely on something that doesn't exist.

This right here, this exact situation is the reason I keep my hopes down low. Why I practically walk over them, keep them dragging under my heels. I didn't want to end up like this. If you don't expect anything, you are contented with what you knew was inevitably going to happen. You can go about it in an I-told-you-so pessimistic manner. But when you have even a slight hope of improvement, the reality drags you lower than where your hopes should've been. It's the lesson they give. Now, things are complicated with too many loose ends. Too many people. People are loose ends. Too many appearances to unwillingly keep up. Things would be so much simpler if there was no one. I would spend my days blissfully alone, maybe even get done what I need to. But now there are bridges that would be burned if I let loose the hermit inside me. Lousy excuses for bridges, more like strewn pieces of driftwood in a creek, but passage nonetheless. And however feeble they may be, they're still there, and destruction always leaves an aftertaste. A smell of ashes in the air clogging your lungs when you come near. Not to mention the other bridges that whisper about the fallen and create gated barriers of words. Soon enough you're not in blissful solitude, but rather isolated speculation. You don't go unnoticed, but rather alone under watch. Well, consider my lesson learned. Never make ties out of hope. Both with be weak and unfashionable. A fallacy at the very least. And you? You'll end up being water under the bridge.

Bridges Up High, Hope Down Low

Love's Not A Competition, But I'm Winning
If our love was a gas tank, we'd be running on E. Our love is a gas tank, you light your cigarette, and it explodes.

Gas Tank
My heart is afire I can't breathe But I don't want to Because it's so good it must be a hallucination And I want it to keep going forever Even it makes me crazy 'Cause that's what it is It's fuckin' crazy I tell ya Love is an alignment of two beings who share the same level of insanity

What is love? Describe it to me...
The days are so contrasting Yesterday I was broke and under hell Crying the sadness out of me in salty waves Today I am placid with soft music in the background There's so much emotional whiplash I don't think my head can take much more of this constant motion Take me off this ride I need to fix myself inside Find the source of my discomfort Because if I know anything its that Something ain't right Depressive nature But something in me is fighting The will to stay alive It's me against my mind I'm not you're not alone No we have allies We have allies We have allies I don't know if I can stomach what you're about to do I hope I can get through But there's still a part that doesn't want to Clashing bodies in a perpetual war The war cries are so loud I drown them out play lists and Blink 182 The tumult cacophonous Discord with every note I oughta tell someone about this life But out my mouth comes only lies But I bet I couldn't even if I tried No no couldn't even if tried Where the **** are my allies? I had allies

Where are my allies
I'm suffocating I'm frantically searching for something to give me air To save me But nothing works. I look around me and I see people going about their business As if they're not aware they're all underwater. How is it they're breathing? Are their lungs not filled, are their throats not burning on fire? Where do they find time to smile? Why aren't they struggling against the depths to reach the surface Where solace may or may not lie I scream at them, and the bubbles cloud my face I'm flailing my arms about for their attention But no one turns their head They just keep walking underwater

Suffocating
She screams in all lower case In an indifferent monotonous voice Like life has drained all that was once good from her And it all went down the drain in a crimson swirl Something inside has died Like her soul's numbered days are up and her heart hasn't got with the program yet It still strives on in strenuous trudges Her are lungs caked in blackened purpose from inhaling death 20,000 times a day And taking a perpetually tired drag on the night Her eyes reflect the moon in the daytime as they pierce through the implemented reality. The true reality is parasitic and will eat away at you and infect your mind Only those with the eyes of the moon can see through the masking light Beware of them, for they have lives encased in shadows.

Eyes of the Moon
It wasn't the fear of failure that sent me plunging into the pool of electric currents, it was act of failing. I go into everything with a **** it" attitude, with low expectations so I'm never disappointed, But when things start spiraling down my immediate thought is to abandon ship. If there's a chance I'm going to hit rock bottom, I want to get there on my own terms, before anything has a chance to drag me down. Failed a class? Might as well drop out Had some ice cream while on a diet? Might as well eat the whole tub About to get pushed onto thin ice? Might as well start jumping til it cracks If something is going to go, I need it to either go all wrong or all wrong
