Begging for mercy from a cruel false god As the years go by, I’ve seen through the facade But I’m still chained by desperation and fear And the false hope that you’ll be sincere And the pleasure you take in my pain will disappear But it won’t You don't want to change You never will So it will be my blood and tears you continue to spill Consume me body and soul Whenever you are hungry for a little power and control Whenever the world is too much for you You take it out on daddy’s favorite punching bag Mother is on the stairs But she might as well not be there For she doesn’t interfere Not even when he fists curl up Not when there are tears She watches with quiet scripted interjections As she watches this towering god looming over me tear me apart No apologies no remorse Just me with ****** hands picking up the broken fragments of myself off the floor I don’t want to be here anymore And after the damage is done She provides false comfort Then angrily scolds me “You know better than that” “Why did you say that” “Why didn’t you say that” As if the looming tsunami would ever take mercy on me So I cower in my room licking my wounds forever alone For there is no one else’s hands to hold No one's arms to surrender to Just grief And a false hope that one day, I will be free But even when far far away Those cruel feelings and fears remain For now they are woven into my DNA

No Place Like Home
He said darling sadness looks so beautiful on you so he put his hands over my mouth to make me forever blue Laid to waste but I'm still your favorite Blood and pants pulled past my waist you savor it As I begin to decay I can't help but think back to the day you shyly called me pretty

I Still Remember Blue Is Your Favorite Color
The prophecy already spoken I was born to be broken Love needs to be earned but when will it be my turn? Even with all my love and open doors every man who has walked through them has left me worse than before

Bitter Woman
Closed-door Four walls Why was I the one to lose it all? If he had killed me Would you finally believe me? The darkness seeping through his fingers Forever trapped in that moment, the feelings still linger He should be surrounded by four walls Instead I’m trapped in my mind The walls too tall to climb Learned my body was never really mine The monsters in my room are realer than they seem They’ve come to **** the girl who never became queen They never stop coming after me Anxiety attacks The world is black I wanna dance in the sun I wanna run By calling the truth a tall tale You let this monster prevail   Try to be strong like the girls in the magazines But I admit it’s so hard for me Never feel safe Can’t even remember his face It’s just a horrifying void That’s come to consume me whole To take what’s left of my soul She’s so hard to find The girl I left behind Been too long Presumed dead Wish he killed me instead Wrinkled fingers in the tub Never feel clean no matter how hard I scrub My mind doesn’t deceive me Why don’t you believe me He should be surrounded by four walls Instead I’m trapped in my mind The walls too tall to climb Learned my body was never really mine The monsters in my room are realer than they seem They’ve come to **** the girl who never became queen They never stop coming after me

Four Walls
Prometheus It was you who pulled the trigger Ripped out my heart along with my liver Drunk off you Now I can’t get you out of my system Got too close to the fire Consumed by your touch and desire I know you're dying to get back between my thighs But I’m struggling to get past your lies But I know I just can’t say goodbye So break my back Like every promise you made These feelings I can’t ignore Can’t wait for the day I can truthfully say I don’t love you anymore

Prometheus
Hello I’m suicidal And have been for a while Sincerely, your favorite problem child All these names in my phone But I’ve never felt so alone For this house ain't a home Wish I could simply disappear I don’t want to be here But I’m too afraid to die Too numb to cry If I meet God I’ll ask him why This turmoil plagues me from deep inside My eyelids swollen Happiness stolen Pitter-patter They ask me what’s the matter Well my greatest fantasy is jumping off a tower Landing on the pavement and my brain going splatter Happiness, never really had her For darkness always looming It’s got a hold on me, always consuming Please I need some help Frankly, I don’t know how to be myself Life’s taking its toll If I stay here it’ll be the death of my soul Every day a lesson But might drop out soon, too pained by my depression Talk **** get hit You spit bullets and I’m ******* sick of it Jimmy, what did you bring for show and tell A gun and a speeding bullet to send me right to hell I’m dead inside My soul another victim of homicide Life’s a game of battleship Guess an insecurity, yup that’s a hit So void of love Starvation of affection of touch You could see my ribs Am I pretty yet? Am I pretty? Cause I’m feeling pretty ****** Won’t catch me weeping willow Saving these tear stains for my pillow Close the door and  jump out the window And if my eyes could turn you to stone Maybe you could finally leave me the **** alone You can try and numb the pain But it’ll never go away You’ll wake up in the morning and still feel the same Cause the weight builds up And the tanks fill up It’s no longer just pebbles and puddles Oh you're in trouble A gas mask ain’t have no use when you’re drowning But maybe it’ll block out the chlorine Brain is constantly pounding So many thoughts it’s astounding I just want q u i e t Will you help me find it?

Suburbia Ain’t no good for ya Take the veil off your eyes my dear And you can finally see clear Suburbia Ain’t no good for ya You’ll see all your deepest fears You never really were safe here Impaled on a white picket fence Wondering where your friends went They took off the masks from their faces From their books they ripped out your pages Can’t tell friend from foe Sugar and salt Are hard to tell apart There’s really no way to know Until it’s too late Call it chance or call it fate Wake up and smell the roses Wipe the blood from your noses Under the street lights On these late nights Suburbia Ain’t no good for ya Take the veil off your eyes my dear And you can finally see clear Suburbia Ain’t no good for ya You’ll see all your deepest fears You never really were safe here It paints a pretty picture But it just cleans up the mess quicker You’ll go crazy from the whispers The truth hurts But so does this life It paints a pretty picture But it just cleans up the mess quicker You’ll go crazy from the whispers The truth hurts But so does this life Suburbia Ain’t no good for ya Take the veil off your eyes my dear And you can finally see clear Suburbia Ain’t no good for ya You’ll see all your deepest fears You never really were safe here In Suburbia

Suburbia
I’ll forever be alone Trapped in the cruel prison of my mind Where every thought is solely mine Or so I believe to be true Even when I’m lost in oblivion with you My socks are wet and cold From the puddles that surround me Yet there is a bliss Maybe it’s the hypothermia kicking in But I’m finally happy The little specks in the world Mean so much to me For what is the world without tiny specks? Hold me close Whatever happens next Promise me you won’t forget You will never think the way I think And I will never understand the way you think To a degree, none of us are the same We’ll never be the same You’ll never understand me Hell, I don’t even understand myself For if I saw a carbon copy of myself I’d probably scream If you were to unravel my mind you’d see a fading beauty, With its edges tainted by charcoal Consumed by the fire Not everything could be preserved Vanished like the great works of Alexandria    As your mind wanders into the vast forest of life Will you remember me as you are shivering in the shadows? As you bathe in the sunlight surrounded by wildflowers? As you’re hiding in a cave in what feels like your final hours? As you are at the top the largest tree looking down, King of the World? As you take another to embrace? With your hands upon her waist? Will you remember my face? The blackberries, how bittersweet they taste? Love is priceless, but nothing is free So what is really the cost? We bunkered up in a birdhouse But winter has passed And we have to move on For we were already consumed by the frost So here I say farewell Please embrace me once more as I crumble In the ice, our love will be preserved until the end of time And I'll forever remember when I had your heart And you had mine I will be consumed by what it could’ve been But deep down, we both know here it must end April Showers Bring May flowers But April is awfully long

On the doorstep of my mind Still think about you all the time Never thought I was just a welcome mat For you to dust your shoes off on Then leave out the back door Didn’t know how fast you could switch This love to you is just a game of ding-dong-ditch You left as soon as you came These perfect blue skies now plagued by rain Why’d I let you walk all over me? Wish I wasn’t so smitten by love and could see The painful truth right in front of me Tore my heart into two And took both pieces with you As you left through the screen door in the back I constantly miss our talks I’m in love but we’re not You don’t talk to me anymore Wish it would go back to how it was before Talking in hushed voices through a screen When the rest of the world was sleeping But you’re not gone, not completely For you’re still crossing my mind Wandering its labyrinth far too many times The ghost of you is close to me Just like how things used to be Nostalgia is blinding But love is binding Wish you’d call me up sometime For I miss hearing your voice It’s a shame that love isn’t a choice You convinced me we were meant to be Why’d I let you walk all over me?
