I drank because it was a little less toxic Than the sensation of drowning Swaying to the music I could forget The waves pulling me under for a moment I searched for comfort Among cold, hallow people Bones had never shown love And that didn't change I was left to my pernicious thoughts Little girls shouldn't be morbid But women aren't made of love Though it is a common misconception

Princess is a mean word
your bones like gravestones prominent among the barren skin you laugh the whisper of the dead and your teeth fell out from caring you were beautifully ruined by thunderstorms in your head your smile is all but dead you can't stand the sight of yourself you have fallen among the rest skeletons of who they used to be a wounded army of solders fighting for peace within their souls the body count is heartbreaking for mothers who clean up the blood and wish they could've been happier as they gasped for air with burnt lungs high school hallways are turned into a backwards funeral procession they mourn the living because they all feel dead paradise is their only cure but what is the definition longing for an infinite silence muted mouths rejoice at the emptiness everything about you is wrong but the presence of individuality has quieted and so has the sound of your beating heart

Vital Signs
scars cut like roads that wind around your bones it was snowing ashes and your heart was aflame your tongue grew cold because you grew silent your teeth were tired and your feet ached you hated your skin but your eyes dried and your fingers lay stiff while the pain carried you away

98.6
Forget me not I beg of you for it will leave an ugly residue on my heart seasons change as well as my mood but never my scars for many hours I dedicate to sitting in the dark I often think of the moon and how alike we are to be seen but never understood to be heard but always ignored to stand alone forever and never to be longed for hearts that drip with blood don't belong inside cold empty shells like us so the clouds steal our breath and leaves rustle telling us their stories of death so our lonely souls become miserable enough to do society a favor and clean up our own mess the only difference between us two is I can die but he will remain glued brightly to the heavens as I fade here on earth

As I fade
The breath-taking colors of death float to the ground with the breeze littering the earth with the promise that the world is soon to die skeletons of who we used to be so much alike the trees when the forest is turned into a graveyard the icy wind blows in and mimics that of my frozen heart the snow drifts are higher inside of my chest than along the roads spring awakens souls and colors burst protesting they were never truly dead but still I stand with winter in my veins and the colors of death under my skin

Dying with the Seasons
skeleton hills stand tall even though they stand dead trees like backbones poking through the hills flesh don't cry my dear they chose to die here death shall be beautiful just look at those skeleton hills low clouds hang frames along the mountains back wildflowers grow promising life does show on skeleton hills dry your tears for it's the sky's turn to cry If I could chose I'd die right here dignified death for they stand dead on skeleton hills.

Skeleton Hills
the unfortunate incidence of an infliction stops my heart from beating stops my lungs from breathing stops my eyes from seeing I don't know where I'm going but I don't think that it's pleasant I can tell from the tightness in my chest that I will soon regret it the only cure is freedom but I can't run for trying to keep breathing I'm slipping and falling down I'm locked inside a cage made of my own bones and my vision is blurred from what my own eyes see save me I'm going under it's much harder to breathe here in this twisted land of agony it's all I can do to hold on I bet you didn't see this coming don't worry I tried to hide the pain that is eating me alive and now I'm scared it's killing me but I'd like to die with my dignity I'm sorry for all I've done to you and all I never got the chance to say farewell to all I love here I'm sorry I must leave you but this is the only way... I can catch my breath
