I cant bank on my words
to change what's on my heart
My hands are calloused
but I'm still swinging in the dark
Something has to change
Help lines and hope wanes
It's been 400 days and I still feel the same
Baby lung alarm clocks
Substance fed anger
And I'm not moving anymore
3 hours of sleep is as good as it gets
Unloading threats; floating upon seas of regret
Weathering swells in a sinking ship
**** your pale skin, thin lips, and bony hips.
I've got something to say.
And this time, it's less drunken word play.
For the past few days,
I've had day dream suicides.
About how this is going to turn into a story,
of how I've got to leave town,
and leave you with a sorry.
I'm not content.
Re-writing songs that remind me of you.
Taking words that aren't mine,
and wrapping them around what I wish
was us.
Sappy as ****
Songs of indigo,
Speak to the soul.
Contempt in the neck,
Lustful, hateful, peaceful dreck.

If that makes sense.  

Points on the map, but a new start,
Constellations to the heart.
Misdirection is constant and plenty.
God, you left this room so empty.
You're a fleeting delusion,
growing stale in my mind.
You're the black mass above,
blocking healing rays of light.

Singing the songs of sorrow that you keep.
Hung on the thought that life's climb is steep.

The lies and contempt that lay dormant in your head,
Pale to the rage burning inside my chest.
Deceit left a trail as you funneled through our lives,
Nothing looked the same, you bled the faith from our eyes.
I've got 3 dollars left,
And I'm trying to feel better.
I've got 300 miles,
And my head's in the nether.
These mountains are glorious,
Yellow, green and true.
Yet, I haven't gotten high enough;
To see over you.
There's a ghost in my body,
It haunts me every day.
But not the way your lips lied,
melted words, cried.
In struggle, I try;
To come to terms with the swells in my eyes.
It's not from the highway haze,
Or the sun's fierce gaze.
It's how I stumble,
Just to get lost in loves maze.

Swore to the stars to be done writing for love.
I'm a man of my word, so I'll curse at the sun.
