I've called to death a thousand times And not once has he answered. His door is locked, his lights are off. There's no one home in Deaths' house. I awoke today as usual, But wishing that I didn't. I called to Death and he told me That my life had beauty in it. I quickly scoffed and brushed it off, Still longing for life's' end. Until I heard that singing bird, and with that my day was brightened. I still call Death from time to time, but just to see how he's been. Sometimes Death even calls to me But I rarely let him in.

I've Called To Death
What happens when I can't keep going? My back is bending and bones are breaking Time is fickle and my body's slowing So what happens when I can't keep faking ? I can  only push so hard Before my breath starts to shorten My legs start to give out I can barely support them For what do I keep on going? I'm running out of reasons I guess for now, I'm better not knowing.

Reasons
I've been trying to get inside scratching chunks off the surface never quite able to find any true purpose. but my thoughts are concrete and stay locked in my mind to build up and break up everything I see. I think I'm getting closer to hearing my own voice. always watching, never talking blocking out the noise And I think maybe it's worth it To have no real place.. Because at the end of the day I'm completely unbound, and I know quite a bit more that the insiders do.

My own voice
if the stars fell from the sky,I'd stuff them in my pocket in hopes that you'd take them, in place of my heart. 'cause i left at the bottom, of an old empty bottle. but it seems to me you've found it and convinced it to restart. oh my darling, what has happened here? I don't feel like I'm living whenever you're not near me. I'd hate to think I need you, but that seems to be the case. So please do me a favor and never leave this place. today I'm in love, and I must say I'm terrified, but I won't let it get me when I've got you by my side. The stars in yours eyes and the glimmer in your smile, make the fear worth enduring even if just for a while. Oh my darling, that smiles what I strive for. To be the one who brings it, I couldn't ask for more. you've latched onto my hand and together we'll go, anywhere but here to pass the time. we've escaped all the pressure, the fear, and self loathing, by loving each other and we'll keep on going. With little to say and so much to lose, we carry our hearts on a chain. Oh my darling, let's keep on singing, you'll be the words and I'll be the feeling. ours is the song I hear all around me, so **** the ones who said this love was crazy.

for you
I hope you hang from the noose tied around my heart, to decapitate the monster that eats at your thoughts; searching for your weakness and feeding on your pain, killing you quickly in this inevitable game. You roll the dice again, only to find you'll never win. Now the tables have turned and I'm back where i started; dumb and in love, scarred arms and open hearted. when I realized the games were over and everything was real, i tried desperately to run, but stayed for the thrill; expecting you'd leave once you've had your fill. now I'm happily trapped, in this game we call love. i won't try to run or give you away. you're mine and I'm yours, and that's how it should be. we killed the monster and beat the game, our cynical hearts now one in the same.

The Thrill
I once was a girl With a love all my own, But i watched it all die When the monster took over. Engulfing every bit of me, Spitting out the remains All the life that used to be. Twisted and wicked, The monster used my shell, Devouring whoever it pleased Before devouring myself. I watched through those eyes As they all withered away Before this monster in disguise. As I watched them all go My heart was in pieces. Knowing I was the one Who unwillingly did this. No one can stop my monster, I can't ever be helped.

Unconscious Monsters
Hi I'm human And i am just like you. I crave love, but am blind when i have it I hate conflict, but my mind is full of it I'm scared to die, but just as scared to live The facades you try so hard to maintain Are whats killing you every day Every smile and move you make Trying to conceal the bits you hate The envy, the rage The jealousy, the greed It's what we're all doing Hi I'm human And so are you and so is he, In the end we all want one thing. We all just want to be set free.
