I like writing
*** drugs, and rock and roll Keep out an eye for the pesky patrol Pack your shoes and pack a bowl Let’s pretend once more that I have a soul I’m always up so I never come down Curse the yuppies taking over this town Laugh as the ceiling becomes part of the ground And my skin turns into a greyish brown My mind needs no cultivation Nothing is worth the contemplation Phony love, pills, and radio stations Are all I need in this civilization Come on, join the dark side Lose yourself and line your eyes Empty your head and fill it with lies Of our fabricated, forced uniqueness enterprise

you were afraid of what we could become addicted to destructive love I've flirted with disasters but You'll always be my favorite one Like an earthquake you're sudden a force I'm not worthy of but a shift underneath causes panic above your unforeseen departure left me five feet below under rocks of desolation in a deluge of woe you tried, but never tried enough always said you hated love if I'd known what an earthquake could do I'd rather be here than above It's worth it though it sounds insane I'm lucky to have known your name you were something different in a world that always looks the same

Earthquake
Lights flash yellow, red, green You’re unlike anything I’ve ever seen Your eyes shone recklessly of immortal eighteen They’re luring, persuasive, hypnotizing I am stuck in a cycle of us, and then me. It’s terrifying, but I could not hide Behind walls I built; the cement had not dried. I tried. Tried to keep you away, but now you’re inside. This vulnerability was not what I wanted; I was content with loneliness, to me this is new. You said I’m too hesitant, too timid. it’s true. But I think now I’m only part me, and part you. Pills- blue, white, pink “Love is a mirage, a marketing technique. A concept that gives humans a reason to keep going, keep searching. It’s just ignorant hope, a made-up belief. Dependency is unnecessary, I never needed anybody. Love is a confectionary lie Attempting to sweeten the cruelty of life.” Love is an illusion that I wanted to stay an illusion Love was a transfusion of your mind into mine An illusion that I screamed wasn’t real as you held me tight and my bones begged you not to let go A concept that has arms and legs and walked up, knocked on my door and said hello I know now it’s real, but I just wish it would go Away. Because you left with my soul, now I have no control. Cause I gave you everything, and I have nothing left. I know you weren’t new to this, a heart and soul theft I have an uncontrolled tendency to imagine you somewhere far away from me, and I’m nothing but a memory. An out of tune melody that plays here and there. And I hope you’re reminded of the one begged you to stay far away from her soul. but you broke in, took all that you could carry and fled.
