Deep down
I was holding on tighter than I already knew I should.
Deep down
I was hoping that although it’s not forever now, maybe it would.
Deep down
I was praying that if you gave me the chance, I’d give you everything I could.
Deep down
I know I should’ve trusted my gut more.
Deep down
I know that I was just another girl for you to score.
Deep down
I know that I am broken to the core.

Being with you is like giving a loaded gun to a child,
Pistol clasped in both hands, shots fired, can we be reconciled?
Gathered up your words, your lies, put them away
Let them bleed down the page, leave them til the edges fray.
When I gave everything to you, it was me that I lost,
I know that I love you but at what cost?
I’ll think of you fondly in a bitter and twisted way,
But my mind, you see, has started to crumble and decay.

Will you let me read your mind?
Enter into your space-dust thoughts
Nebula’s sprinkled eyes fixated
Dragging onto my galaxy twisted heart
Years spent orbiting the moon - back to you.

We sit in a room with nothing
but the scorching fire burning my skin,
and a cigarette pressed against my lips.
Yet, you are the thing
that causes the most harm.

Her pale skin knew all the secrets.
When the maze would twist,
and when it would turn,
when it etched a clear path,
and whispered the escape route.
His dark skin was trapped.
The maze unleashed its branches,
tightening the grip around his body,
tangling him up in the mess
that she had created.
It was designed
by her ancestors,
for only one to win.
This maze
is the one they call life.
She needed to forge a new path.
One where he leads, she follows.
One where the branches
only burden the deserved,
and not for the colour of their skin.

I don't want to be in a world
where you're not here.
I don't want to be in a world
that crushes you when you're down,
where you try to reach for happiness
but can only frown,
because deep inside, you can only drown.
I don't want to be in a world
that is full of such hate,
where you feel like you're not important and that's your only fate,
because together, I promise you, we'll re-write the slate.

I can’t deal with this anymore,
the world is damaged to its core.
When I look around me,
disaster is all I see.
Cooped up in fear,
what is really happening here?
Confinement of body, mind and soul,
yearning to feel whole.
Piece by piece it’s falling apart.
Please I beg, can we restart?
How do I begin
in a world that is caving in?
How do I progress
when the world is filled with emptiness?
How am I blessed
when there’s barely anything left?
Just please...tell me

Dust filters through their fingers,
each grain slowly slipping away.
Pushing forwards
And feeling the strong repel of backwards.
All that remains now are the ashes
of the dreams that you let die.

The wilted leaves of the plant you gave me
begin to peel away
lingering on the sunny window ledge
starting to fade on this day.
I laughed at its structure
and how it reminded me of us:
started out blooming and blossoming
but soon we lost our trust.
Today, I feed a new plant
with the tears I cried over you,
and with the warmth that I never received,
I began to build something new.
I smiled at its structure
and how it reminded me of myself:
started out small and feeble
But I am no longer just a decoration on the shelf.

Fire running through my veins
like electricity
attempting to ignite
if even only a small spark
