I am a rolling storm A force of nature you just can't predict I am what wakes you at 3 a.m. And makes you hide under the sheets Hoping, wishing, praying for some form of relief I am a whirlwind With a force so great & strong I'm here for the moment that feels like eternity But with the next, I will be gone I am static interference, like white noise inside your head I am the poison you drink, but it is I who dies instead There will be no church with stained windows There will be no gleaming steeple I am the ******* reason why Some storms are named after people------ I destroy all I touch

Forgive Me
Only at night Can I truly see myself And that's why I'm afraid of the dark

In the dark
Your soul was paper thin So you grew skin thick as stone And when your armor wasn't enough You were glad that you sank faster

To the River
There are three different views of love: Love is for the weak Love is for the week Love is

Three
I remember a time when I had a heart A time when we were a work of art I remember when I could touch the moon When thoughts of you filled me like a balloon I remember how it felt to be perfectly fine How I thought that I would call you mine I remember how it feels to be fractured inside I lost count of how many times I cried I remember you I remember you And how I became little boy blue When my heart was left to wither too

Little Boy Blue
Sadness is a razor Uncertanty marks my arms Dissapointment carved my thighs But the crimson is so beautiful When all you want is to die My arms cry for a breakup My legs for being unwanted New skin where the old used to be Your body is now haunted But the scars have a certain beauty Be it from razor, needle, or knife They show that you were strong enough To not give up on life

Reasons
The most surprising thing about it      Was how sweet the concrete tasted Once I rushed the twenty stories      To give it a kiss

Fragile
Sweet girl Busy girl Now she's just a dizzy girl Took one too many pills and shots The world kept going but she did not Pretty girls Mean girls They gave her a real whirl They broke her into pieces and fed 'em to the birds Her armor was shattered by their whispered words Silent girl Tierd girl Now she's just a liar girl She plasters on that smile, so the world can see her not So that they can't see every day is a battle and that for every breath she's fought Tiny girl Quiet girl Now she's just a dying girl All her strings were cut, her mind was full of strife The people, the mirror, the everything here--sapped her of her life She's gone...

Gone
Tired eyes Quiet lips Seal the night With bottled bliss Shaking hands Tightening throat Around your heart You'll build a moat Shattered image Dreams in your cup You don't really care If you ever wake up Calm your mind Envision those hills Medicate your life With more of those ****** pills Never a good night Don't think of sleeping well Because you know with every morning Comes another day of hell Let it slip through your fingers Like sand in a sieve Stop buying into it Don't ever believe Let your heart harden They've had it all wrong 'Cause in the end you know You only breathe for so long

Perscription
There they are, those words of yours Right on your tongue Just past your lips And that’s where they’ll stay, isn’t it? They’ll hang there, so inert and stagnant Never to be spoken, never to be heard I can feel them, these words So palpable, so thick, so painfully dense There’s nothing greater than your silence to saturate our air Just say the word, and let it end But no, you can’t, you won’t, these words are static Never to be spoken, never to be heard
