My heart pounding in my ears reminds me of running water Echoing in an empty room The chill circulating through me Like glass shattering and disappearing in the grains of sand Why do I have these tools in my hands? It aches It burns It hurts so much Feeling a thousand needles in my numb shins The pain has always had the win When being imprisoned feels like a sin Weighed down enough for the echoes to drive you insane Living in a place you don’t understand The sorrow too deeply etched to erase Your mind forces you to stay With the flooding water flowing down your face To be familiar with a fate that never ends Never sways And with eyes clouded With bruised flesh greedy for pain The heart will give all its useless love away

Echoes
When I am awake I view the world with eyes half open; blinded by tension I can see Thicker than a knife could penetrate I suffocate in the make believe fumes that can be ignited by the smallest spark Only to blow up in my face This hollow feeling This empty space I can feel how thick the wall is around your back when it faces me at night I speak to you when I know you cannot hear me Loathing myself; my grudge spoils in my hesitation as I reach out and hold you tight And I know I Have lost This endless battle I have all the power in the world to conclude I'm a prisoner to the dull ache All I ever wanted was you

Lost
A broken heart Never acknowledged or seen A heart sewn together without knowing what the hurt ever means People can care more or less about a delicate soul And even if you put the pieces back together The hurt can still grow

What a Heart feels
I swallow my tongue to the twists and turns of bones covered by a layer of skin Painted lips and wings of black leave this world dependent on what is out and what is in A deserter of vanity and a refugee to comfort and love A string of foul endearment terms I am known by the name of I'm quick to disappear A momentary capture of what is held so dear Like a transient spell of a simple fear of being the same A clone of the world that doesn't know it's own name "Beautiful" is the word that has many escapes In the eyes of your peers the meaning translates into something so different and foul In the eyes of a lover the word makes their heart scowl We were born to be real, not perfect

Impermanent Beauty
The rules to follow and the words to write help you in your favor to win this fight On the inside the lock is kept shut and it echoes through my body and mind Always flowing red on my hand Rusted silver bruising my skin The pain is here but I won't let it win It's under my skin Crawling inside Using my mind in it's own selfish ways And trying to wash away any movements from before makes me feel ***** Impure and conquered by the likes of you And whatever she says is a lie like it always is Take the hint and turn away now Because you will never know how much I have missed you here and to be near that smile you would show to no one else but me But there is no one now who is the same as you were And I'm still impure Drowning out the sickening sounds unknown to any normal ear Just go away My heart stays here

Impure
Days and time spent wondering about stolen kisses and wasted sleep Sleep on dreams of the future that will never come true When all i see is blue Blue blankets and pillows It's sad to think that it is safe I am feeling Sadness to know that it was too good to be true And safe Safe enough to know that i can change the future and be with you now Instead of the anxiety and questions "how?" How do you feel when i walk by? Anxious? I do When all i see is blue eyes staring so deep within my soul and past my wall A wall built for 18 years shattered into dust The dust is trust And there is so little of it now How am i to know that you wont leave me here with a heavy heart and regrets? I could have saved myself for another Instead i am used Blue A used blue doll made of glass And i am shattered Just like us

Blue
Take me away to a place where love can't hurt Where fairy tales stop lying to my face There is a place where there is more rain than shine Where I've lost everything i thought was mine I had a prince charming I had a place where my heart was fine The cracks were filled and warming It glowed like the sun should be in that place The place full of imaginary lies where tears fall from every eye Every story of mine is here I've never noticed until now that i still live in fear Fear of heartbreak Just like now Tell me how i can fix this Don't look at me without those stars in your eyes The ones i hope to see after every kiss and every i love you I am again shy I'd hold your hand but you would be disappointed at the marks I've made for everytime I cried from hearing your name What have i done to make your heart so cold? So solid? Solid like a stone shattering my mask and making me break down like the weak emotional wreck i am Please tell me otherwise Please tell me that i can That i can ignore every imaginary lie that i dream about crawling off of your lips Imaginary lies are what they are Imaginary Yet everything hurts like it's real

Imaginary lies
Each stroke of the brush with ease The paint glides across the wall and spell the words running through my mind The words I speak taste foul Bittersweet Which is why they are now in these walls But the taste is still there Of all the things to say Your name is all of thought of today Have you ever been faithful? Concerned ? Sincere? Bittersweet My tongue is cold and your name is old through these words on my wall Over and over again the paint peels and falls to bow at my feet Bittersweet concrete Lost in that mind of yours Clouded by lust is all you want but will never get Because I regret ever being with you

Bittersweet
Daggers in your eyes Venom in your voice You crush my spirit with your stare Your eyes are telling me that you never cared Good words replaced by the sound of hate and lies So alone behind enemy lines But we despise what anyone else has to stay War Against your words Step up to the line and state your claim I blame you for making me this way

War
The romantic sound The pitter-patter of rain I turn to look but all I feel is pain My heart is hurting and pounding like mad And I don't know why But I want to die No words can be said or heard because of the rain outside I fell asleep but I cried earlier that day No noise kept me alive except for the rain
