melancholy.
I know that I'm running through your veins and causing your heart to race, but its no longer an euphoric sense of excitement. my venom has been stored up in your mind waiting for its release through memories. you sit there and think of me, unaware that you're no longer immune to it, and so it begins to burn through your bloodline and make its way to your beautiful heart, where it will slowly turn it black and cold, an action only reversible by a love that isn't mine

If you're not the architect Then you're the demolisher, right? But what if you're both? I'm both. I will build you up high like the worlds greatest skyscraper And you'll touch God's face and whisper in his ear Thanking him. I'll paint you better than Michelangelo would ever And I'll only place in your interior The finest jewels and gems. But then I'll tear you down, Smash you with a wrecking ball. Spend years tearing down every wall Only to leave you with nothing but a foundation, A cement bottom and empty wooden posts. I will destroy you without ever meaning to Because I'm venomous and unaware of it. I'll leave golden specks in your mind But bruises on your soul, I'll make your heart beat And then I'll tear it apart. I'm a playful king cobra and I don't know my own strength, I'll nibble your ear and then release my kiss of death. I bet you've always wondered why they name natural disasters after people, And I swear to god after meeting me you'll know.

We craved eachother But I was bad for you. You craved my taste So I cut my lips off. You craved my smell So I masked it. You craved my touch So I wore mittens. You craved my voice So I removed my tongue. Then I realized you crave my presence And this craving was killing you slowly, So I set myself on fire And let myself burn So you could crave me no longer. The devil found my ashes and resurrected me And like a phoenix I rose, He said he'd ease your craving and give me life In exchange for just my soul. And I went to find you to see if it worked And it did. You craved me no longer. But even in this new form, This newly ressurected body, There was nothing I wanted more than you Because somehow my memories Didn't burn with my skin and flesh.

What do you do when your pain killer Is the thing making you hurt And its dramatic irony Because everyone knows it but you? How do I fix it now? Because I was chugging down an anti-venom Only to find out that it was donated By the fangs that pierced my skin. What do I do When theyve locked me up in a padded room But then I find a way to hurt myself with the cushions? How do I handle the fact That the thing that was helping me so much Was making me go blind So I couldn't read its warning label? I was treating you like a ******* medicine But you turned out to be poison.

There's just some people you meet And they strike you down like lightning Because they're fascinating And all you want to do is just know them. You look at them and sit next to them And your desire for knowledge about them grows Because they stun you. Tell me your favorite color What you eat for breakfast if you even eat it at all, Tell me your goals and dreams Tell me what your parents think of your friends Do you have parents? Tell me about the things you do that you're not supposed to. Tell me about the time you sat in the woods last summer all by yourself And cried because sometimes you just need to cry Get close enough that I can see the sunlight glisten off your eyelashes And tell me about how your mirror shows The hidden dissapointment that you bury in your eyes. Tell me how much you hate your smile But secretly love the way your eyes look in the morning. Tell me everything at once, And overwhelm me Because I swear to god I want to know.

Early to bed early to rise More time to sleep Less time to cry. But sleep isn't peace And peace isn't sleep Because bed is the place Nightmares come to me. They haunt and they taunt They whisper to me. Show me the things I beg not to see Show me that I'm What I plead not to be. Take me away And poison me gently, On thousands of pillows I lay there and suddenly My mistakes fly over me And cast me into calm And then this calamity hits me And I want to run But its all so stunning, So bright and obscure That I get confused And go out the wrong door. What I thought was the way To forgetting and home Was the door leading into My horror struck home. The fire was leaping And my sins pushed me out I fell with a scream That wouldn't come out.

I'm doing it so much That its not an escape anymore Its just a routine. Destroying myself On the inside and out, Making it seem Like I'm in a dream. Its insane How my brain Makes me feel like the pain Is really just happiness to me. Going through the motion Underage but drinking the potion Because maybe I wish it was poison. Bliss comes in tablets And it comes in cuts too I'm absolutely crazy But it helps when I'm blue.

self demolition
In a world full of color, I feel so blandly black and white. My color has been drained And I gave it up without a fight. The greens around me try to reach out And the pinks and oranges tell me to talk to them, The purples shout For me to come to join them please Because the closest I have to color Is a blue-ish gray tint. I leave a trail of it everywhere because I want it all to go To leave me with nothing, I pray for it to fade. I want to know what made me this way, Because the only time I'm bright Is when I force a color out And I watch the red pour out of A gray water spout. I hold in the gasps and all the screams, Amazed that such a bold color Could come from something as dead as me.

This feeling is quicksand And I'm going under slow. I try to fight it but I can't Because it hurts to try and go The more I struggle or resist The more it hurts inside And the more I try to leave it The more I'm left behind. My friends gave up trying to save me, Now they watch me sink in pleasure And I'm at the point where I don't care, So I'll let my bones be dug up like lost treasure.

quicksand
Things that **** me Only thrill me. Ashes to ashes Dust to dust, Drinking in the hopes that my bones May begin to rust. It may be a little crazy, But I like to see the cuts. Shoot me shoot me For the **** I know its deadly To take these pills. Mirror mirror Can't you see? All I am Is killing me
