Cis/Texas Just trying to make my way home.
Did you poison my brain Was it your wish I go insane All along your desire While my skin burned Lit on fire While my lips bleed Never ending need To hear your voice To catch your smile There's not a net big enough to capture you

Incendiary
I'm starting to hate you now I can only hope it sticks The little cracks in my heart are asking for a fix. If it last a little longer I might meet me again. I might remember how to laugh. I might remember how to win. I might remember I'm not chained To your changing standards of cool I might remember how to behave How to not be such a fool The prospect is delightful The thought is so sublime The venom made me insightful But now I've done my time I want to throw my crystal ball Against a wall See it shatter What does it matter? Hate didn't last after all.

Irony
Her yoga pants cover up her feet She stretches out and breathes deep. She's a grown woman in child's pose She sits up straight when she's not walking tall She can't see anything out in the real world, Even with her third eye

Sight
What would I say if I could talk to you all the time? Would I tell you everything that's on my mind? Would I tell you I miss you so, so much? Would I tell you my skin screams out for your touch? Would I tell you I read your old notes every day? I think not, I wouldn't want to ruin our game. Does he or doesn't she It's always the same. You need nerves of steel to play to win You can't give up You can't give in It's almost stopped being fun at all Waiting and watching for someone to fall

Secret Game
If I run away for just a day Would that give you what you crave? The endless need to hunt your prey... To conquer, to rule, to have your way Is that the only way you thrive Constant state of overdrive? The thrill of the chase... Your own special grace. I sink in it like a bath But it won't save you from my wrath It won't take you there You will not be spared I will mark you for revenge The needle will singe This tattoo won't fade From my blood it is made.

Runaway
I'm hidden away like **** Is it shame or Is it scorn? That keeps me under lock and key. We go out and face the doom. Our only witness is the moon. Is this all we ever get, Hiding in the open air, as if we have the years to spare? Swallowing tears until we might drown Both to tired to face the truth, Pretending we didn't waste our youth. Doesn't erase the lines on our face Or the lies in our hearts Sadness when we part Madness when we share a space Where  exactly is our place?

Wrong Time
Here you are calling again Or is it your ghost, commanding the wind? Let me down easy. I don't want to boil over and burn your skin. I dream of pleasing you then wake up again Knowing it's hopeless A battle I won't win, You bring out your big gun To shoot me down again. You pull the trigger but no one scores. Perhaps you need a new weapon of choice? To control the me that has no voice. It was just the one time I lost my way. I got lost in your maze. Now I'm stuck there it seems No way out Except in my dreams

Disfunction
Why can't I sleep I cry out To all that would hear I have everything a girl could want The world has made that clear Nightmares, visions and bad men All keep me company They visit every single night Uninvited I've tried for years to throw them out That they hear me there's no doubt But why would they leave their unhappy home? Just to roam in another's dreams They are staying right here They won't leave

Sweet Dreams
Sad goodbyes Is this the last one? A crystal ball is what I need To see which one of us Is going to bleed Fire in my heart When we're apart And when we are not Your breath is hot On my neck Like a dragon

Snooze Button
I have a "Stark" heart Yes That's true. It only got stark when I thought about you It was dark before I don't deny But stark and empty is a result of your lies. Games people play is part of life One shouldn't play armed with a knife. Your touch is divine Blood mixed with fine wine I'm beginning to see This is not our time. The price is to high May I pay with my soul, Or is it to old? You liked it one day, for a short while. You seemed happy when you saw me smile. So put a notch on your belt You win again You've taught one more girl Not to trust men
