Everything breaks It's not about how you can momentarily fix something It not about how much you love it It's about time What is time you ask? Time is simply about deterioration Every **** second we are closer to death Time is a ***** a ***** that just won't forgive What can you do about it? You can choose to hug trees instead of humans You can simply not get close to anyone You can shut everything out and pretend to exist   The thing is, yes everything will die You can't control that You can decide to just **** yourself Because you're going to die anyway right? Or you can take a moment to cherish what you do have, or what you might have Set all life after death beliefs aside and look around Look at the road crumbling Look at the blood dripping down your skin And then turn around and look at life Take in the times when you get to see your girlfriend smile The times when life overtakes death Take in the moment your little sister comes to you crying and tells you about how no one cares And then tell her that you care about her and that you'll never stop caring about her, and let her hug you Take a moment to touch a tree and feel how connected it is the earth Take a moment to truly feel life And when you start to feel like you're dying Remember that day where you felt like you were bigger than death It's a constant battle isn't it? Between living and letting death win Between losing time and defying it And maybe you don't win But life isn't about winning Life is about the game And I've had days when I'm slipping And I've had days when I feel infinite Take some time to truly love someone Because love is infinite It's not an object, it's a feeling A feeling time can't just destroy Tell people how much they mean to you Hug them while you can Watch them live Because one day you won't be able to So you can hug trees instead of humans But your tree will eventually die And you can decide to not let someone hurt you But pain is apart of life All I'm saying is Yes we die But we also live And I'm telling you, I hold on to the way my girlfriend smiles and the way my brother hugs me because that's what makes me feel alive. That's how I defy time

The sun sets And the moon appears on everything I should've been. My brain is like an hamster running on one of those wheels Running...thinking...running Once you stop thinking Once the slate is blank Perhaps you'll be happier Or perhaps it'll be just the same You asked to disappear But you should've asked to stay You wanted to paint a picture But you should've tossed the metal brushes away You needed to flush away your mistakes But you should've just said no Or perhaps maybe you shouldn't have downed your mistakes in the first place The world might never know You should've controlled your rage You're a fiery one but that's not what they want at all You shouldn't have given your self away You're corrupted unholy and just sick You should've went to college Should've got a job But instead you're just wasting away Thinking about yesterday

What you should've done
Strong hands pulling you away from everything you know A silent scream that no one can hear One hand on your mouth One hand moving down Your world ripped apart before your eyes Everything you once knew: gone Denial, shame Oh what a lovely game Hello where'd my childhood go It's been snatched before my eyes Everyone's crying But no one sees me You can't print flyers asking for it back It isn't something broadcasted on the news Something been taken from you, something you should never lose so soon Your world soon turns inside out You're not a kid anymore Your mother and father no longer matter You've gotten older too fast Your heart has gone cold -But what do you expect when your kidnapper steals your home.

-But what do you expect when your kidnapper steals your home.
He creeps into your vision with a slight smile When you're almost least expecting him Sometimes you don't even know he's there Sometimes he's just a shadow with a knife "Hold on you need that" he whispers as your mind starts to spin To a point where you can't think about anything else "You know you need it" the echo in the back of your mind Not sure of who's making the sound Sometimes you see him in others When their eyes light up with malice Sometimes he's not as strong He plays nice, for the few that are worthy and in that moment he helps "Such a pretty little thing" the voice creeps across you're mind but you're unaware someone else is speaking. "Don't you need her?" He's there but some don't notice Some don't even worry about it they just take what he whispers in mistake it's their own voice speaking He's a cute little pesky demon Clouding your vision in all types of form The need, the desire, the yearning It's a game you see played by someone else just below the threshold of conciseness

Desire
You asked me how I feel You asked me to explain I'm gonna make this simple But either way you won't understand. Maybe you should know That I want to slash my wrists I want to feel the pain I want to see the blood. Now listen up. I want to starve my self I want to loose some weight I want to get in shape Do you think I'm crazy yet? I want to smoke some **** I really need to escape I really need to feel no pain I want to drink some ***** I want to down some cough syrup I want to feel high I want to feel drunk None the less maybe you should know I want to fall apart I want to hurt what little i have left So did I answer your questions? Am I crazy yet?

Am I crazy yet?
I never believed in love And I'm not sure what to do What is love exactly? Is it possible it's true We mumble the words I love you. It's only been a day.   But I don't think you can love someone so soon. I don't even know if love is true. These words that used to mean so much, have become so little. Misused. Abused. Untrue. How can you love someone? How do you really love someone? I hear that this love is important. But in fact I've never felt it. I've never felt my heart tremble. I've never felt my heart melt. Maybe it's that I'm heartless. Maybe I'm a bit psychopathic. I'm not sure what to do. Tell me if love is true. Do you believe in it? Do you feel it? Because I know I never do.

I can't believe in love.
You take my mother when I need her You act like you need her more And she acts as if it's true. But don't you know, a daughter needs her mother A daughter needs her mother It's a simple act of nature And the fact that people try to take her Defys the rules of Mother Nature But I guess it doesn't matter I should be happy I should be glad But in fact I'm just sad Because I barely see my own mother And when I do your always with her I realize you want to be with her But can you realize I need her more When it's just me and her I'm always happy But when you come around I'm always angry I wouldn't say I'm being selfish I'm just saying I need her And I need her more then you do I hope one day you will both see it.

I need my mother
You told me to tell you everything I resisted But you were persistent And I couldn't take it So I told you every little thing I let you in For a while we were best friends But then it all happened again You became broken like me Perhaps it was because of me I told you to much **** I guess you shouldn't have been so persistent You started doing the same things I did But I wouldn't stop it How could I stop you If I couldn't even stop myself? And then we drifted Just like that you were gone You said you found better people But remember when you said I was perfection? I knew it was a lie I could see it in your eye Everyone leaves me I even left me The last thing I heard from you Made me emotionally break down You told me to get help You said everyone knew I needed it I guess is what happens when people are persistent

Persistance
They say curiosity killed the cat And I suppose it did Because curiosity kills It leads you down a deep dark road When you begin to wonder about simple things You venture into the unknown Once you begin asking questions You are on your own The leaders of this place or lying All there secrets are hiding If you dig a little deeper You won't like what you find And so yes, curiosity kills Because they will come for you And lock you up if they have to They try to convince you that your free But if you think for a second You are far from free Make one mistake And you may spend your life locked in a cell So be careful, my friend Rebels don't last long here Nothing lasts long here Better stay safe and walk with the rest. Isn't it worth it?

Curiosity
It's a funny thing, you see. The world told me to be me I was told to be myself I was told to not be like everyone else And so I let my inner spirit show But now all I get is the constant remarks. The sneering and calling me weird The laughter at my walk So I guess deep down you don't like me And that's the thing Humans don't like people who are not like them And I am not like you I am unique to myself I am proud of myself I may regret what I do But I don't regret being me We are not free We are stuck in a revolving hell And untill we learn to except each other We will live forever in the constant state of hell.
