I want to start with my insecurities
They have a lot to do with my impurities
A boy that, defines love by the places he's at
I can feel the sweat running down my back
A heart that races to the love of his life
Would discern the cut of a knife
To be with the one that he loves
It's more pure than two white doves
A being that fails to complete its purpose
A phenomenon that, leaves most, wordless
A pair of legs that cannot walk
A tongue, a mouth that cannot talk
Arms that cannot reach
A professor that cannot teach
A chef that provides inedible food
A servant that proves to be rude
A waste of life on his bed
His mind dark, and his hand red
Forgiveness is near
But also is fear
I fear that I may never live to see love
We see, people that would rather be
dead, a question that asks a bullet in the head
A knife in the back, an answer we lack
Broken bones and, broken homes
Crying kids and, rising bids
A silent room, a revolting fume
A walking flower, for just one hour
An eye's meal
Describes this one feel
Gluttony with a slide of hand
Desolate flaming lands
Cold snow in the summer's show
A lost chance of getting to know
A heart that changes color
Is a lot less duller
A weak mind with with a strong sword
If you cut the chord
The lights fade out
And in the dark, here lies doubt
And with this thought one would shout
Too bad no one will hear what he shouts about
Oh dear Mr. Bright
It's time to awake from the night
Tonight's been a long one
I've been waiting patiently for the rising sun
But as time passes, my patience grows thin
I got so bored I started carving symbols in my skin
I didn't feel any pain, oddly enough
I guess it's just my way of coping with stuff
3:45 and I'm still awake
I need to get some sleep, for my heart's sake
The snakes under my bed are starting to annoy me
They think it's funny to slither and toy with me
But what can I do against seven deadly snakes?
My fear grows as each one of them takes
A part of my body, a part of my soul
The cuts that I made earlier are taking their toll
It's 4:25 now, I could really use a friend
But no one's up and the night won't end
I look out my window, but there's no stars in the sky
The snakes are closing in now, I know I might die
This is a goodbye to all who I love
I'm in pain, so I look above
As my blood seeps out and the venom sinks in
I close my eyes with regret, seeing only my sins
I'm sorry I hurt you, I'm sorry I didn't care
I'm sorry I messed up, I'm sorry I wasn't there
I don't expect forgiveness but please give me this
A filling for my empty heart, fill it with bliss
I'm bleeding
I'm dying
Nothing's working but I'm trying
You can deconstruct my arm
But you can't do the same
To my brain
You can't cut my skin
You don't make the day begin
You don't bleed for me
You don't greed for me
I'm done waiting for you
I'm done waiting to see what you'll do
I figured it out on my own I think
And what I found makes you look like you're on the brink of insanity
Watch your profanity
I'm worried for humanity
All of the brutality
Where's the morality?
Absently
The thoughts leave my brain like a train leaves the station
I brought along this bag of mine that holds the hands of time in an hourglass of sand
As I take it out of the bag it shatters in my hand
The shards soon let blood leave my skin
And the sun leans on the mountains because the day's about to begin
I don't know about you
But I certainly will not advertently pick the shards out from my hand they'll break into smaller pieces and then I'll lose them in my mind
Nothing can undo the damage of time
A bandaid for my heart please?
Forgiveness for my bad deeds?
A flower that gives no seeds
And one that has no needs
A broken heart will cry its pleads
His tears aren't all he bleeds
I can feel it crying blood tears
I'm getting crushed by my fears
Dead red roses bloom
Only in the light of the moon
Brittle leaves blow by
And set a scene for the sky
With a little bit of water
All these dreams will prosper
But cold hands hold what holds these seeds
And now the only thing that can grow, is weeds
Light breaks through the cold hands and heats the soils of these lands
But hand held spears raise high fears of what is to come
If sea shells wither and snakes do slither, then time has been undone
Freeze and go back so next time won't lack what was to come
The brittle leaves summon thieves and now the day has begun
Waiting patiently for night's return will leave a scar and a burn as the sun slowly dies
A grave behind the mountain will fill blood in the fountain and now there's red skies
But as skies turn black we will never go back so leave the flowers untouched
They will bloom in time, I'm waiting for mine to finally be clutched
There is a rope around me, tied to a rock in the sea
Please, I need your help
I am in need of an untouched greed that will permanently seed this special breed
And will make him bleed at a slow speed so I can watch in agony to ease my conscience so I can finally get some sleep
I try to cut myself into pieces to see which part is best
Today I like my heart, I'll throw away the rest
I don't like putting good organs to no good use
So I'll use them as a shield to catch the abuse
The cuts will bleed but I pay them no mind
It's the damage to my brain that I don't see too kind
I cry myself to sleep every night and hope that without a single fright I'll sleep a sleep that never ends and inside my dreams are all my friends
They each take turns greeting me but soon they'll end up deceiving me
They all surround me and jump up and down
Their unmasked faces show their frowns
They all hold their hands up high
And scream and shout as they count to five
Their blood oozes from out their ears
And each one of them turns into one of my fears
They keep screaming and screaming
They tell me I'm dreaming I'm dreaming
I won't wake up
I won't wake up
My ears are bleeding but the blood shuts out some of the sound
And their blood that was oozing has seeped underground
The ground is now red
All of them, just dead
If I'm unwanted that's fine
I know I can be a handful from time to time
But please do not touch my heart
One more hurt and it's sure to fall apart
I'm sorry if I hurt you
I want you to know I never meant to
Kinda funny how fast the time goes
I feel like I'm walking fast as time slows
Back to you now cause I'm getting off track
I want you to know I've always got your back
If you don't have mine then that's fine
I understand some of your pain, doesn't really heal with time
Yeah I've been there before
The nights are cold as the floor
The tiles seem to be made of ice
The warmth of love should suffice
But I forgot it wasn't meant for us right?
Seems we're out of the spotlight
It's okay though, I've never been the show off type
They say move in when the time is right
I'm sorry to cut this short
But I'm tired from a long day of court
Judging myself hurts so bad
Sometimes I cry when I'm not sad
I'm not too embarrassed to say
I think we've both had a hard day
I told you about her and you took it well
But I never told you, that was the outer shell

— The End —
