American I want to change the world.
I wish I knew how to feel ten times bigger than myself but I get so lost in the swarm that is me, that is inside of me this being and entity that I am sometimes too out of touch with and sometimes I can't separate myself from I need to feel you, I need to feel that you feel me and I need to know that you see me but I can't even see myself can't even fix myself I get so lost in the sadness that comes from constant failure and I lose touch with all the love that surrounds me animals who loves me, the man who loves me I want a man who tells me he needs his girl you always need your girl I love you so much I love you so much for wanting me I feel like you love me despite of who I am, how I am, who I am, how I am.... what separates my actions from who I am as a person, as a partner? I may forget everything else, but I will never forget my love for you I will never forget the pain that comes from just the thought of losing you I want this to work, I want to work, I want to make this work I can't' lose myself, but I myself am lost I can't lose this, I can't lose you what am I to do? Where will we be in ten years time, will we love each other still or will our frustrations stopped our hearts from feeling the love despite what we are together? I want you to love me for who I am, I need you to love me for who I am not despite who I am... I need to love me for who I am not despite who I am

Despite
This is where you lift me up Just so I have farther to fall The harder I hit the ground, the further into the mud and grime I will sink And that is where I will stay, if you have any say about it You don't, though, do you? I am the one who dictates my own thoughts. The hauntings and memories of a past life whisper to me sweet nothings that will keep me in this ground, under here where I am safe and sound from the challenge of the world But I will leave nothing behind me in life because that is exactly what the memory of you is to me. Nothing. You will never win. You never did. You didn't trap me like you promised that night so long ago, you couldn't make me stay to accompany your orchestra of pitifully arranged mind tricks you thought would hold me. I am something more than you and your lies will never be, I am whole.

I am something
Dangerous convictions take such long walks and change so much after simple talks I'm overwhelmed when my mind's unkind but I'm healthy in my body and my mind Tell me what's good and how to abstain but going backwards is not my game I don't need you to tell me what is real and whats not Im hid from it all and I don't have no thoughts Spacious in here, inside my mind Don't tell me what to do cause you'll just waste my time here i can stay till the end of my time but don't worry.. I'm healthy in my body and my mind What do you do when you're all out of time But it's all you can do to not lose your mind Say what do you know as you take some to unwind i Why don't you sit down and we'll do another line Cause I'm healthy in my body and my mind People's advice when they pretend that they know All you can think is how they put on a show Do you really know what it is to be sane? I can't remember my own name you tell me what to do and you tell me you won't you say i remember what you don't I force my memory to stay the same cause you can't tell me what you can't explain Can't count how many times ive cried But I'm healthy in my body and my mind

Cope
Oh, I don't know what it is Can't place it The man wants to stay so I erase him Left so often at the foot of his bed Crumpled up with his sheets the morning after Oh, I was so bitter but I am better now You might have seen me, I was trying But don't you see that I was sliding, down that spiral, I was dying Left so often so wide open Got it together just the same! I didn't let you board my train Oh, I was so bitter but I am better now You may have had me in your pocket You may have broken into me Left so often so wide open Got it together just the same! I didn't let you board my train

I was so bitter
Leap to see where they bring you when you do exactly what everyone does Go to see where the bronzed and shiny, the blonde and skinny, the buff and the beautiful, the catchy things sleep here, it's all about the trend and the he said this she said that magazines plastering a wallpaper of celebs and what's-hot on the interior walls structuring my mind do they feed on your self confidence too? They crush youth and make believe that caring will be the death of them, that a soul gets ripped free of it's shackles everytime something genuine and real happens, something naked and imperfect, something totally weird and not what you'd say is the norm, here now, won't you see me as I am? It's progressive to be a little bit different now? What else do they say to you when you are breathless and sighing on the ground- we all see when things are wrong, but everyone here is so small when the big man wants their money and their cars and things, it's easier to have nothing but the stuff that is shoved down our throats has become something everyone needs.

My shattered brow is not wilted by the weight of disgust and I am lifted from agony I will lift you out of yours. Nothing is forever, but pain never heals It can make some stronger and for some, the cracks only get wider This passion that escapes me radiates outwards like a Mandala and it reminds me not to forget, but to let it go I feel the words that will pour down from the lips, and they will be beautiful once again. Experience is always behind you, take it away, take it away

I'm no good at titles
I can hear the shadow come living amoung our tainted hearts it will sink into your mind attracted to all of these damaged parts when you see this simple start to a tragic end that's yet to come you must fight with all your might you time has yet to come when you stare into the empty mist can you see yourself in the headlight? it pulls you into it so you are lost you are lost why oh why can't you recognize when your heart is not your own it gets so hard to realize when it seeps into your bones I think I've lost my tragic end I see a light now but it's warm and bright this ancient recipe for pain and gain will only see you through for a small part The rest is up to you when you start to see It kills you from the bottom up It can't be hard to see sitting there right in front of you can't be hard to see why oh why can't you recognize when your heart is not your own it gets so hard to realize when it seeps into your bones I know I see you sitting there but you are not alone your mind is filled with such despair you are not alone I cry- and you hear and you tell me it's an act am I an actress in a movie? Should I know these lines?

Poison
I have to stop looking into that mirror I memorize lines that have never yet crossed my face I agonize over every detail of what may come and what we may become it creeps into your mind and it's all you can see at night when you are wide awake and it's gnawing away at the only thing that keeps you alive at times like this- that feeling of adequacy that washes over your bad thoughts like an ocean will wash stones clean and smooth, she falls in love with every man she cannot help sometimes there are moments that are simply perfect but he's interrupting me he is talking over me I can smell the alcohol on his breath over the phone he reeks so bad

You didn't just let me fall, you triumphed only by towering above me and pushing me as far beneath you as I could go. I am here to tell you that you did not win. YOU DID NOT WIN. YOU DID NOT BEAT ME. I AM NO LONGER AFRAID OF YOU.

**** you
Sometimes I think about how okay with being sad some people are how they tread so lightly in their lives to avoid unsettling the dust that might change something. I hear you thinking sometimes about how we shouldn't be standing so still but you sit so cleanly on your throne of discontent and I've never seen to you do more than stand and fall back down wash away the empty, push it into the water and weigh it down with stones because it doesn't exist And will never weigh you down as much as your own routine
