Dear everyone I ever really knew, i acted like an asshole so i could keep my edge on you
A thousand thoughts run through my head Impossible to decode What they entail Like trying to tell where a water drop fell into the oceans swell If it's not a blur then its painful as hell Coals placed up and down my spine Where does anyone find the time to get their feelings in line while keeping the appearance to be fine I often sit in the darkness with the small light of hope My mistakes woven thick into a rope Tied around the tree grown by the seeds sewn into my head To seek help is to burden others To be myself is to over think I can only take so much more weight before i finally sink Id rather bite the hand that feeds myself Id rather drown slowly than ask for help My insecurities speak louder than anything else With this shovel passed down to me ill bury my heart mind and soul My body will be left to decompose outside of the hole Maybe then the child I never got to be will grow again Maybe then the worlds worth of weights will be lifted

Decompose
Like king Midas Everything i touch dies When it appears to turn to gold So take your hand in mine And lead me down this lonely road So take your hand in mine And leave me all alone I can't control the direction that we go Tie sails to our minds then let them flow But my sail has nowhere to go The strings aren't strong enough to hold So they break Along with my sanity My own words float around my head like debris from a hurricane Nothing is relative but pain This world has made me change This world has caused all of my emotions to rearrange Behind doors i only have a few keys for So i cross through them often Treading harder each time I drag mud and leaves from one to the other Back and forth I'll track the feelings back to the source And **** it Staring into it's eyes as it begs and pleads trying to make things right I am ending this fight It's getting harder to sleep each night I often witness the start of daylight Bask in the warmth Transcending through my window Where i end up I'll probably never know I'm still not ready

I will share with you My empire of dirt If you should ever decide to cast me out Through the heavens I'll fall I do not blame you at all For i have nothing to give But im sure as hell going to try To give you all that's left of me Maybe we can build something new We can take a walk in eachothers shoes And make sure the laces stay tied As the soles wear away i can learn to confide If we ever trip or break our stride Feel free to bind the strings and throw them over a telephone line To come back to another time They will not wither They will not break If they ever fall The ground will shake And let us know its time to come back home No two souls are destined to be alone Our spirits have bathed in one anothers glow The scent is one they've grown to know Held hands throughout the cold And will surely hold fast as destruction surrounds the place we call home I adore you and you alone

Make my heart your home Come in and lie with me I don't care what mud you've been drug through You don't even have to wipe your feet

Mud
The sensation of loneliness is imminent Being fully aware of this is a curse I want to hold a heart in my hand Just as i want mine held Use my frail body as a shield Our two souls i will meld // I want to open my exoskeletal barrier To a soul so beautiful And shell to match A rare combination indeed For all souls can be considered beautiful But so few to myself I haven't felt a genuine connection in so long I forget what it's like Embraces mean nothing If you don't care about their life I will know the right one when they reveal themselves If they still exist on this earth One soul splits in two When we are placed here at birth Feeling the blatant comfort of someone Is not a comfort I've truly known But as close as I've gotten I'll attempt to build a throne For our amorous thoughts to sit High and mighty It shines too bright for the temptation of abandon to seep in I will soak up all of your fear and anxiety With every kiss Then spit all your pain into small viles And paint you a picture with it A letter to the earth And everything above Nothing will strip you and i Of our love We are inseparable Even if i don't know you yet

I am not pure My shell is cracked and eroded in most places Many have chiseled me away And took the remains The light grows dim on the inside So dim it's no longer appealing to make a home I am destined to crumble alone Much like a puzzle undesired because few or more pieces are gone I don't place the blame on anyone but my own I often wonder if there's a another out there with a light inside that's not so bright I want to see their face So we can crumble at eachothers feet Our componants will mix together And form a beautiful masterpiece Forever isn't relative

I once was an angel The galaxy held me close My star exploded When i needed it the most Down to earth i fall Bones breaking through the atmosphere To the surface i drop I go right through This is not my stop Things are getting warm I feel like I'm at home My demons are present again Oh how glad i am i made friends with them I descend further Where i stop I'll never know I still hold a piece of your soul Wherever i go Hell isn't a fiery hole You escape it when you're dead The hell you and i know Is only present in our heads

Descend
Your thoughts are a danger to you and i They lay bricks in your head making you unable to fly Building giant tombs in your mind Making a peaceful place for your dreams to die I will not allow it this time Into your head i will go Gently but effective I will eat your demons whole And all the negativity that flows through them Will become a part of me I refuse to let them take you down Not this time Empty out your hopeless head And pour it into mine I'll turn their skulls into bowls to catch the overflow Tear off their wings and sew them to your back I want to see you soar Far away from their attack I'll cut my own wings off If it means keeping your soul intact I hope i meet you soon

Wings
Open a floodgate of emotion The motion of the ocean Stick your hands through my chest so i can feel the devotion Pulsing Twisting Unfolding My heart in your hands Eat it whole so i can feel safe again Your personal markings are blurry

Safety
Mother moon Father earth Why have i been cursed since birth Brother trees Sister breeze Why must you mock me when i can't stand on my own two feet Because I'm constantly knocking myself down Internal fist fights in which i slam my own face into the ground My heart doesn't pound It has a slow steady beat Much like an army who has just faced defeat Its become less of a mind state and more of a disease
