You were her first wound Dug into her skin, she started to bleed She tried to kiss her boo boos You kept tearing into her flesh Sometimes she'd pick the scabs open Silent, she must obey Thy parents are thy gift of life The wounds changed shape with age And time gifted her with more More scratches and bruises They blanketed the first Layering it bit by bit Forgetting the first born wound Until she mothered her own Then she saw it again The wound that festered Lived inside for all those years What a pity

Infected
My soul is not my own Twisted, torn apart and sewn Crafted of people and places All the names and faces It's been weathered and shined And seasoned with time Lost and found Turned upside down And I feel it all

Do you remember Remember my name Doesn't matter we're all the same Dry your tears, they're empty now ****** face and take a bow I am the mat beneath your feet Drenched and ***** I must be beat Wear me down don't toss me out Contaminate me rather the grout I can no longer see your smile Just a wicked unpleasantly vile Hollow being, you obscure truth Feed me lies, I've become a sleuth Turned deaf to your manipulation Uncovered and overdue salvation

The Manipulator
Tiny little tippy toes, Eight Zip zippity zip across, Wait Silk strings float upon the air, Fly Invisible trap of death, Sly Needle sharp two juicy fangs Poke Merry-go-round goes dinner Choke Save the fat one for later Date Tiny little beady eyes, Eight

I eat flies for dinner
I don't feel right Haven't been myself since that night I cant tell you 'cause you have your own troubles too Keep playin' it in my head Hearin' those words, she is dead I close my eyes The deafening sound of my cries I hold your coat Pretending to hug you, I choke I don't want to go back home Restless soul, alone I roam

I Can't Fake it Anymore
I saw her standing there Thin and frail Dressed in shades of violet She was looking at me Through the chain linked fence Rusted in the back Where'd you go I wanted to know But she was just a glimpse

Revenant
It festers and it boils Wrapped up tight in a coil Stuff it down once more so deep Try to have a full nights sleep Creeps and crawls into my dreams Left me bursting at the seams Add some stitches, that will do And a pin or maybe two

Gulp it Quickly, it Doesn't Hurt
I let it go and gave it to you With a heavy heart turning to new Ah that feels good, feels so good to say You take my pain, taken it away Now finally it is time to heal Rebuild into something that is real

You can have this back, I dont want it
I sang for you Though feeling blue A lovely heartfelt song I cry for you Like mornings dew All the nights are long I've prayed for you To dear god who Into mornings dawn I dreamt of you And then I knew That you weren't really gone

Sleep a little longer
It's dark in this place When's the last time the light touched skin Theres cold on your face Where is the warmth that you held within Where did tomorrow go I've been living in yesterday for so long How did the time slow Yet speed too fast it all feels wrong
