im stuck between what my mind and heart wants nothing seems to be in its right place or maybe im just never meant to be anywhere that i happen to be my mind is always caressed by clouds and burned by the vocalists of the earth words are as scorching as the rays of the sun and my writs are itching once again and im scared im scared im scared this world is not for me

ignore the words that scatter through my mouth instead let me paint you a story across your lips my tongue is the paintbrush that will reveal the secrets behind my scars let me inhale the life that is within you let our breath become one, allow my heart to finally steady let's explore the rythm of each others' bodies and i'll sing you the song that i can't ever remember the words to instead of bleeding, let's exhaust our lust and sweat out the bleakness that dominates our hours of the night taste the desires that linger within the gaze of my eyes they speak more than my words can ever say

succubus
this life is based on impermanence i'm flailing through the sea of screens that demand attention my eyesight is wasted on things that don't exist and my thoughts are plagued by lies that block the words of my surroundings i won't remember much this life is based on fleeting pleasures i'm willingly sacrificing my mind to a soulless machine society is built upon a parallel universe meant to close the boundaries between us but it seems that it deepens the gap that exists with those that are on our either shoulder i may not be completely brainwashed yet i'm struggling to find the clean air

turmoil (10w)
my mind is enveloped within clouds everything reaches me through a clouded veil not present on earth; i'm not like all of you speech is forced and muscle contractions carefully controlled i don't understand, and i feel so separate, i can't find myself and you all just laugh while i'm slowly floating away lately i don't want to be anywhere near the ground i'll come to terms with my eyelids kissing the raindrops

high in the sky
just when i believe that i'll break through the glassy surface of the water i'm trapped beneath and finally get a breath of fresh air some part of you pulls me back under i hate admitting that i find you suffocating my head at times feels like its about to explode from the pressure i've been underwater too long and my mind has become too accustomed to murkiness the calm exterior only hides the fact that i'm slowly drowning but i'm killing my lungs like you do so perhaps we both are drowning since we can't breathe but i'm losing myself in fantasies and drugs while you lose yourself in pretty girls and i keep feeling myself being pushed further beneath the water... i'm forgetting how to swim.

waterlogged
but i think that i'm as addicted to you as you are to Marlboro's quitting you cold turkey was a ******* mistake i'm left with these cravings that make my veins itch and my body feels like it's full of cement i cant help but think of you at night when only white noise lies with me when it used to be you with your arms wrapped around me but when i wake up you are the first thing i think of and you aren't there anymore even though i chose to leave you since i thought you were toxic like the tar that coats your lungs but now im struggling to breathe easily anyway it doesnt make sense to be full of emptiness but i can somehow feel it in my chest and i cant even take a hit off of you because i am not the cigarette that gets to touch your lips and like quitting smoking everyone has said i'll be healthier without you but my mind is feeling so sick despite the smile painted on my face

i'm not a smoker
i love listening to words spill from uncaring mouths the way they temporarily cease the bombardment of harsh winds within my consciousness and i love  having the pressure from lungs removed and to be able to intake oxygen as easily as the the trees within the forest but sometimes i hate the sleep that plagues my eyes when there's a world to see and i hate the letters my heart receives from my mind with the scalding words that dull my senses in the midst of an utterly sensational universe

duality
sharp shots to the nerves helping to dissipate the numb that infects the core footsteps creeping forward approaching something that appears to look like better stories faces painted for the daytime keeping the moments predictable but leaving the hearts yearning for chaos in the nighttime
