Sleeping our way through: house, kids, & wife Same stuff different day, this is the way of life Work until you die, earn a *** to **** Separation of us is not something amiss Commercial drug dealers, more side effects than a sin Another one down, another black coffin Flies in a web, take this and stop the itch Media makes loud noises and we glitch Conscious and sub blends, it poors to rain Opened your eyes and now you're insane Everything you knew was never true Brand new eyes, the sky was never blue Happiness was created for one, just in that percent Titles my name without my consent Parents don't parent and teachers don't teach Parties of red or blue have never been in our reach Everyone thinks they're right and the world is wrong Sexes and races ******* up and don't belong This is the world we live in, not exactly the human way Yet we continue trying to fix tomorrow before yesterday

Tomorrow Before Yesterday
Waiting and wanting a new day Tired of every pain that comes my way I need a new name, a new place I can't stand to continue looking at the same face In such need of a new me Just give me a sign, anything All this pain can't be for nothing I pray and pray and still no outcome There's little fight left in me, in what I've become Sometimes I feel a monster fighting to be released The monster this world has created inside of me A beast that need not escape For it will destroy what's left of me With each day pass, I feel it getting stronger My will to defeat it becoming weaker Sometimes I want it to win and I just quit it All these tears makes it grow Battle become brittle Where I want nothing but to be below I'd escape this constant torment What's left of me is less than one percent This world is darkening my heart The things I loved the most have been ripped apart This is what it's come to be As I start to realize that the beast, is the best of me

Best Of Me
Words drawn from my blood Emotions on paper flow in flood Exposing ****** fluids Pain from my past is deeply rooted Written from deep within Wounds unhealed embedded in my skin Tears make it just enough bitter Smiles through life; a shape shifter Regular ink isn't strong enough My own cut is the pen to my handcuffs Sets me free from my demise My room of mirrors countered; clockwise Smothered and spilled with travail My own created nib is frail So I use blood in my inkwell Watered down, colored in pastel

Blood Of My Inkwell
Trees and trees for as far as I can see "How much further? I am so tired" "Keep going we're almost there" None of it mattered, you were the one I admired You won't carry me but I am so little Still no sign of life nowhere in sight Nothing but a road led by moonlight Seeing three stars align Night by night, I felt like they were mine I see a light miles away An old woman need not persuade She gave us blankets and said we could stay Crickets chirping a lullaby A new pillow and the same pain I've had all day She kept Faith and always said "We will find a way, we'll be okay" Morning came with thank you's and goodbyes Rubbing my belly and my eyes I'm too young to see her lies Cars going by hoping someone will stop I knew this was wrong but she said it was right Years go by, and we're still on this long road of night

A Long Road Of Night
They don't understand that death is the only place that is safe No more pain, no more hurt I'm better off in a deep sleep, yet painfully awake Eyes wide open I wish I was blind I can't move forward, I stay behind One step ahead knocked five steps back Never-ending battle I'm not enough, too much I lack Constant tears hidden with a smile Misunderstood, it's all in my head Thoughts are in constant manifest Let me go, I'm not meant to be here I love too much, at the same time I couldn't care less I walk around like I'm strong My mask is brittle Where do I belong? Purpose is little Life full of lies I don't wanna know what's good for me I was born to die

Enough
Handful of peace, I loved and I cried Years of this **** had everything, I died It wouldn't go away, a disease Torn in every direction, all I wanted a peace Begged and pleaded God to give me a reason My flaws are like an open season He thinks he saved me, the look on his face He has no idea that it's just a zombie in my place I can't keep living like this, it's hell in my mind Searched in space, my purpose I couldn't find Everyone thinks it's self pity I wish it was but this feeling is pretty ****** Understated I know, I'm just really hard on myself I put everyone before me and my feelings on a shelf I've tried everything to fix it I was never really that strong; I just shifted Family was never there, they wanted me to fall I loved them even when they didn't deserve me at all Everything I love is taken away from me It's like I wasn't ever meant to be There's really not much else to say I still can't find a reason even to this day I don't belong not even in space Ever since that day there's been a zombie in my place

Zombie In My Place
Filling a hole I thought could be filled With a family of my own He was perfect and fit the bill Showed me a love that was unknown Money and glamour all around Nobody has ever been this kind How could I be this lucky? Like a bomb he blew my mind Now years have gone by And expecting a baby girl I'm laying in bed, feel a power of might Skin turning black and blue Man, he really didn't mean it It wasn't him his foot didn't fit the shoe "I'm sorry" I've heard time after time Now another woman is pregnant Why is he still a man of mine? What has become of my life? This isn't what I had planned All I wanted was to be a mother and a wife I fear that promise will be broken Not this time, this is my life! I couldn't see the warnings even when we shout With a comparison of my dreams and reality My life has really turned Upside down and inside out

Upside Down Inside Out
She searched and searched A new man with the same ending She kept getting hurt and hurt Keeping hope with new beginnings A child follows with repercussions With eyes so innocent and green Each guy with different intentions She pretends she doesn't see Her search for true love blinds her From the trauma her child endures Too many alike but this one could be the one she sure She knew something was wrong But she was too scared He had glares for her baby But she didn't care She knew she wouldn't find better She wasn't good enough One day she would explain in an apology letter The innocence is gone and she sees Her baby is not the same Still she pretends everything is fine swallows her shame and tells herself, She will be healed with time He turned out to be another, Her daughter says "don't worry mommy, we'll always have each other" She swears she will find love She doesnt know what's she's doing wrong Hoping and praying to the one above That somebody is out there for her To love her through her flaws She forgets to remember Love never left her side With a face full of tears, Her daughter looks up and says "Love is Right Here"

Love Is Right Here
Oh phantom creature deep within; Arrests the villainous energies, weeps in sin Purposed to extract the bad and the univited Eclipsed with confusion, undivided Woven with good intentions and prebenediction A needed cleanse full of fiction Feathered dreams become crippling Vacated your mission, entities are listening When does the nightmares end? Where do dreams start or begin? Phantom creature captured in cluttered mesh Accelerated speed; aging faster than the flesh One bead away from the shatter A blast of broken pieces.. scattered

Dreamcatcher
Green eyes glisten in the moonlight City noises cars going by, sitting on the rooftop the future lost sight Wondering where life will take her, will she be alright? She's been strong her whole life, she wonders if it's worth her might Too many battles, the war is not her fight Looking back, seeing how she lost her sight Days in and out, the world keeps turning just look at the streetlights Street lights ran on a timer, expected without knowing Same as her beauty, pain without showing Her path is unknown, her tears start flowing Broken and defeated, her heart begins snowing Never good enough, her spirit is bowing Beauty is pain, her smile brings light to a room Inside full of demons, her core becomes doom A seed is all she has with just enough bloom Only a goddess has this strength in a tomb She knows her worth in the mist of perfume Head heel high, this is just another monster to consume Life runs in eight, the world sees her figure Enjoying the smallest of things, dreaming of leisure Pleasure of pain keeps her going, not submitting Hair in the wind, that would be fitting She can't help but notice all of her failings Her children cry because her choices are untelling Expected to be like her mother, becomes her biggest fear Like an open book, her soul full of sheer Battling yesterday's self, her memory is a tear Proceeding is her only choice Love and hope will always be her inner voice Her emotions are not boring Street lights will always be her story
