My name is Katie and I'm pretty messed up in the head. That's pretty much all you need to know about me.
They say Beauty is skin deep At least according to society And if you don't conform Life will be a hellofa storm Gold lies beneath the sand So with a shaking hand I dig in to my skin Mining for what's within digging for what you can't see What is deep inside me Red gold bubbles at the surface It hurts but that's why I do this Beauty pays a price And this is souly my choice the scars aren't pretty And this isn't beauty It's still you I love But A mismatched glove I am to you Into the trash you threw Me away Another day Passes and No matter how Deep I dig, I know now It's not me I'm not ugly It's society

Skin-deep
Let's laugh the night away Forget the sorrows of today Again tomorrow the sun will rise And it won't be a surprise That our friendship will stay As golden as it was yesterday

Dear Bestie
I get it I cry Not for me But for you Can't you see? You left; I don't blame you I blame me I get it There's bigger and better things Out there than silly ol' me There always has been Always will be I get it I'm that answer on the test You know the one; letter c Everyone knows it's wrong Because it's so silly It's so obvious Only the poor fool who didn't study Would choose it and I'm not the right 1 He thought I'd be I get it I'm not wanted I'm unnecessary I could dissapear in a flash And it would be easy I get it The world stopped moving When they have up on me For them, it will keep going When I give up on me. Get it?

I get it
You broke my heart       When you broke up with me You shattered my heart        When you got with her You threw away my heart        When you lied to him

Broken
Just a memory?        We were so happy.. Just a moment?         We shared so many.. Just a was?         What about "We will"?..

Is it all we are now?
He pushed play He said "Hey" But he pressed fast forward And leaned inward So I pressed play We could've kissed all day He pressed pause There were a few flaws I pressed play I thought it'd be okay He hit stop Was I too over the top? Ether way, I want to press replay

Our song
Who knew Someone I didn't know Would say Hello? Who knew That night We'd see Ourselves In each other? Who knew We'd share So many things And never met Before? Who knew Every day He'd ask me "Do we Still match?" Who knew The answer Was always yes? Who knew Less than A week Would pass Before he Kissed Me? Who knew When he Kissed Me It would Bring back Memories? Who knew We'd kiss Again And Again? Who knew We'd fall In love? Who knew It was New Years And I Was only Thinking Of him? Who knew One month After Hello Would be Goodbye? Who knew The Difference Between "Goodnight" And "Goodnight, Love" Was enough To make me cry? Who knew I could Feel him Even if I never Saw him But now All I feel Is his Absence? Who knew I'd  fall To pieces But Pick them Up? Who knew I'd just Drop them All over Again? Who knew He wouldn't Or pretend He doesn't Care? Who knew? Not me.

Who knew
I wasn't ready I didn't want it to end But isn't that what anyone would say After their own apocalypse? I knew it was coming So why didn't I do something? It was like the little boy Who cried wolf Except there is no Little boy Or Wolf Just you and me And you went your own way So now I'm here Broke in love I was gambling I thought it was a good risk Silly me, I bet it all I gave you all I had And now I'm left with none Nothing I feel empty Like I'm hollow Dying on the inside Every second I'm alone I'm one second closer to dying Because now, thanks to you, I am my own poison I cry all night Telling myself things No one should ever hear Destroying myself Burning brighter than the sun Only to burn out and ruin it all To become a monster After something thought beautiful I never wanted to lose you No, not yet But you left me So now here I am Laying here alone Literally shivering in fear Crying silently in the night And all because I wasn't ready I didn't want it to end But isn't that what anyone would say After their own apocalypse?

My apocalypse
My brain and I We play these sick games Most games are fun But not this one Where I stop eating Just enough to keep my heart beating And at night I wish it wasn't Or at least that's what my brain says It makes me cry even when I have no reason why Until I meet the darkness of sleep To wake with last night's tears My brain almost always wins Talking trash and whispering sins But this time it's different I'm not battling my brain, but my heart I can't stop eating I feel like I'm barely breathing I can't do this to myself But my heart says I need him It makes me cry And I can't stop no matter how hard I try When I meet the darkness of night, I get a chance but I'm too filled with fright If I win, my heart breaks, If it wins, I break

The Brain and The Heart
My home      Life as I know it My world Is on fire Burning Burning Ash and Dust Timber They scream Timber They taunt It comes crashing down And It's heavy It's sad It's all too real And yet here I sit Not even throwing a fit Watching it burn For it is my urn I wait and watch         Because sometimes I'd rather burn with it Than live without it
