23/F And sometimes the monsters play these horrible games of inside my head; they often make me wish I were dead.
*Little bird, this nest isn't big enough for you. Fly on and find your tools to start anew. Sing to the skies, let the world hear your hurt. Pick at the ground and find your fuel. Travel far, searching for your reason. Give life to the world and leave it to grow alone. Start your cycles over until you can no longer move. Let yourself decompose, the others will feed off of your brittle bones.*

Gluttony
I'm walking but I don't know where to, It's a winding road that I've been on for what seems like years. Lay down to rest my head, give my body to nature. Stuck in the soil, sprouting slowly, but the rain comes and the lightning strikes. I'm dead, but what's the difference? I didn't stand a chance anyway. Reborn; a cloud in the sky, I'm forming a tornado, touching ground, rapidly spinning and destroying everything in my path, I'll gather everything around me and tear it up, drop it and dissipate. I just want to be pure

Nomine
Warm touch, where have you gone? The touch I used to long for. Sweet smile, you've lost your glimmer It was so calming. Kiss of satin, I'm withdrawing. Burning to ashes, you'll forget about me, don't let me burn out. All I wanted was that feeling, but I can't feel anymore.

Via Dolorosa
The wind is chilling to the bone The echo is loud enough to leave a ringing noise in the back of your head for days The tears burn like fire You still can't seem to find a distinguished direction, yet you keep going The smoke is thick and you can't escape your heart hurts for those you have destroyed the line is thin as you walk across the beam but you take no time thinking of the risk your legs fall weak but you don't mind the mystery the outcome of burning bridges with those of no past the ghosts in your closet seem to come out when you're at your lowest screaming for help in a lonely desert no one seems to see the darkness that's washed over your face losing touch with real emotions, you've built a guard that you don't put down until you've found love with the blooming flowers that you can't touch when will you finally see the damage you've done? there's nothing for you here, nothing for you there you're left alone yet again with your thoughts and a pen don't get me wrong, this is your highest point your words and your heart but your heart is dark and your mind is even darker lonely child, you'll find your peace one day just no time soon

scattered
Pill after pill and still the void lingers Gripping my wrists begging to escape reality. Ocean of velvet is where the high takes me. Artificial comfort and happiness, why can't you last forever? Soon I'll forget what solid ground feels like, and I'll lose myself to you again.

Bruised Bones
I stay awake at night because my demons won't let me rest. They like to whisper in my ears with dreadful words and the taunting truth. I don't dare lay down in silence because that's when they're loudest. I stay up with television to distract myself until my eyelids fall weak. I don't dare sleep because that's when the demons create the most vivid imagery. No rest will rid of my demons, they haunt my dreams.

Losing Sleep
You make my face hot, my heart race, my toes tap, my eyes light up, and my knees weak; out of fear, because your hands were around my neck, and my life was in your hands. You left marks that no object or emotion could cover. You're gone forever, but those repressed memories will be stuck with me for longer than that.

Choke
Pathetic are the mid-night thoughts about your future love your past heartbreaks your poorly thought out hook-ups Sad are the mid-night thoughts about the loss of those important what you could have achieved but never did and maybe never will Depressing are the mid-night thoughts about what a burden you are to everyone how you'd never hurt again if you weren't alive that everything you do will never amount to anything But, it's time for me to move past those emotions on to something better an emotion I've never truly felt that only I can control and that's the happy mid-night thoughts about tomorrow and what I might achieve who I could make smile what pretty faces I may see

Bloom
I watch the grey skies turn to black every day Hoping that they'll pull me away with them Then I might find a home Maybe then I won't be so alone

Distant Matter
Not even the warmth of your embrace could stop the coldness within me from freezing my heart
