"Don't leave me alone," he pleads.

Watching the blood drain out of me.

Pale wooden eyes, the mistakes of today and tomorrow.

Sweat glistens agaisnt his forehead, as the audience listens.

Pulled a deck of cards from his pocket, who would know he was playing his fate.

That voice calling, piercing the air like a knife.

Cold water, dead skin.

Baby I love you.

But it's too late to reminisce, place a kiss to your lips.

I feel the magic calling.

I hear him mocking me, like he'll always do.

Our bodies are one, slipping and fading with ease.

But he'll blame me, blame me.

For all that he's done.

The night is dark but, our heads are darker.

His wines are mine, dozing off as he cries.

I see the ****** in his eyes, we have to die.

My organs spilling, copper staining my teeth.

Tears flutter my eyelids, too tired.

As everything floats away, I can see him.

The magic, burning like flames around us.

Can't let us die in piece, no you couldn't do that for me.

Leave the money on the counter.

I'll get it later.

Can't deal right now.

Can't breathe right now.

Slip my coins into the payphone.

I plead to see you again, but you hang up.

Tears fall like a wonderfall, my bones feel so old, I'm so cold.

Why do I have such a hollow head?

Can't lay myself down to bed.

All these monsters running around, they want my skin.

Sallow me like a pill, spit me out when night turns to gold.

I just don't want to be alone, is the story he told.

He's not a knight or a king, sitting upon a throne.

A lost boy, searching in the dark.

But I'll find him, and call him my own.

Our brains are empty, bile covering the tiled floors.

We met at a party, avoiding contact with everyone else.

But when I saw your eyes, I knew you were going to be mine.

He's my drug and I'm his anecdote.

We're helpless animals, shouting in the dead of night.

Like little kids, we chase each other to the river.

The moon shinning bright, lovers whisper meaningful words.

But we'll travel downtown, your hollow head on my shoulder.

I scream in the night, my breath getting caught in my throat.

All these kids are damaged, and so am I.

Don't we all just want love?

But we're all deadbeats, you got to admit.

Our mistakes multiply, I feel them crushing my soul.

However you're different, aren't you?

I can see that special something in you, glowing behind your freckled eyes.

Hold me and never give up.

I'll protect you, we're not like the rest.

We can be better, lets just run away.

I know our hate for the world burns deep.

I don't even know if you like me but, we're friends for now.

That's all I'll ever need.

You being beside me, the moon shining bright.

We'll bury your brother, he deserves a resting place.

All the things he has done, that's not you baby.

Escape into my arms, I know it's not much.

Too young to be this numb but, I'll keep you safe.

I don't want your flame to die out.

I scream in the night, my breath getting caught in my throat.

All these kids are damaged, and so am I.

Don't we all just want love?

We're all deadbeats but, you'll never be alone.

Dale works a long day, oh my friend, a long day.

His car is broken down, his head is like a wild playground.

Poor ******* lost his son last year, he crept out late, came across a man who put a gun to his innocent face.

Buddy runs a diner downtown, don't know how the hell he pulls it off.

It's way passed sundown, Dales hands are bruised to the bone, surprised the guy hasn't had a meltdown.

Mary says he has a heart of gold, but the babies face is cold ******.

His wife left him a decade ago, boy must've gone through a crusade.

Keeps in his thoughts, babe your drowning so deep.


He serves food and drinks, breaking dishes in the kitchen sinks.

Some days he doesn't show up because of the pain.

Rain pours from his crying eyes, babe its gotta be terrifying, losing yourself each day.

I'm just a single woman making my way, I can't help but feel the same.

My heart sinks when we meet, baby your vibe is contagious.

Just a poor man who lost everything, you exhaust your heart like burning flames.


Calm down honey, I can describe you in many different ways.

A locked door who buried his key, a helpless goldfish begging to be free.

Those puppy dog blues, get me every **** time.

You hand me a plate of french fries, I push them aside.

I wanna get close to you, but I guess I'm afraid to.

Baby when was the last time you got laid? You can't leave your bed sheets bitter and raw.

Dale I could love all your flaws, but I fear I'm too late.

Somethings already got you, and its out of my hands.


He serves food and drinks, breaking dishes in the kitchen sinks.

Some days he doesn't show up because of the pain.

Rain pours from his crying eyes, babe its gotta be terrifying, losing yourself each day.

I'm just a single woman making my way, I can't help but feel the same.

My heart sinks when we meet, baby your vibe is contagious.

Just a poor man who lost everything, you exhaust your heart like burning flames.


Dale made the news Friday night, shot a man in cold blood.

I watched, eyes transfixed like I was breathing in a flood.

I wanted to howl to cry, I could've saved him from this, possibly even his life.

The rest of his time would be spent behind bars, but sadly it wouldn't be for long.

Babe didn't last more than a week, poor ******* got stabbed in his sleep.

Maybe now, he can finally get some peace.

Grasping his sons hand in the flashing light, tears streaming in relief.

Baby could've been mine, but I was too late, and now every Friday I visit his grave.

Eyes searching for a home, it can call its own.

Bitten lips, and hopeless dreams.

The wind loves to call his name, reminding him each day is the same.

Broken skin, cries and wails.

A nearby tree house sways in the breeze.

Blood staining the walls.

Lonely ghost, lingering around a lonely lamppost.

The host with a crooked smile, stays for awhile.

Dragging you along on a leash.

You've never been strong, tape wrapped around your mouth.

A child who died too young.

With a slip of the tongue, you swung, the faces strung out in front.

Lights flash, that breath would be your last.

Now your lost, and you can't cross.

Lungs in your throat, you wrote your final note.

Lonely ghost, lingering around a lonely lamppost.

The host with a crooked smile, stays for awhile.

Dragging you along on a leash.

I'm sorry to say, but you'll never be at peace.

You're my responsibility, forever a piece of me.

I look at myself in the mirror
but,
all I see is you.

You, wouldn't believe me.
If, I told you so.

There's a figure outside.
And it won't leave me alone.

It cries for protection, just like my bones.

I've been trying to calm it done but nothings working.

I wish you were here to hold me close, my chest is hurting.

It won't stop pounding, moaning, and groaning.

My heart wants to help it, but I can't risk the chance.

It could **** and consume me, just like your love.

You, wouldn't believe me.
If, I told you so.

There's a figure outside.
And it won't leave me alone.

It cries for protection, just like my bones.

I've been trying to calm it down but nothings working.

I wish you were here to hold me close, my chest is burning.

I wish you'd come back home, the lover I thought I'd know.

This wasn't what I expected, a demon hidden under your clothes.

You, wouldn't believe me.
If, I told you so.

He's not, who he seems to be.

He is never alone.

You always leave, a sweet taste on my teeth.

Kissing under moon beams, touching until our hearts gleam.

Silhouettes hold each other, as I try to find you in the wave of people you wish you were.

Sweet thing don't cry, skin is soft like cotton candy.

I'll never leave your side, your pain is mine.

Give me your love tonight.

When you go, your wide eyes as big as the ocean floor.

Just know, your love sticks like caramel apples on my lips.

Your love is so addicting but, so much sugar can make my heartache.

Sweet thing don't cry, I'll wipe those pity tears off your pretty eyes.

I'll never leave your side, your pain is mine.

Give me your love tonight.

Don't think, don't blink.

Just live.

Let your scent control my body.

Interlace our fingers on a strawberry bedspread.

I'll do whatever you want, I can show you what to do.

Wrap our legs around one another, feel the heat take over.

If only your love was real, if only your touch was made for me.

No sweet thing, you don't belong to me.

Only in my dreams.

And I'll never get to taste your candy on my teeth.

You won't know, how I died.

Don't tell me, what you think.

Snow will fall, covering my skin.

Stars will start to sing, their lullaby.

Peace will be forgotten, fear will twist its neck.

Searching for my bones, left a horrible mess.

Darkness is all I see.

Demons staring at me.

Somebody hold me, and take the roses for my daughter.

Stars will start to sing, their lullaby.

As I try to say goodbye, but the blood is all I see.

Death taking over me.

I will not die, tonight.

The man who did this to me, will die with me.

Oh I can't, die.

I won't die.

Please forgive me my father, it wasn't who I am.

The drugs, the money, I did it all for my family.

I bite my teeth, lips turning bright red.

This pain that I feel, is well deserved.

On my grave, don't even put my name.

Or just forget my body, throw it into a fiery flame.

I deserve this.

Shaking hands with the devil, was a bad mistake.

You will never know.

How I died.

Because I won't.

Not Tonight.

Stars sang their lullaby, bringing me back to life.

My eyes shine, bursting out different colors of light.

I will never die, because simply.

I cannot.

Soft music plays from an old jukebox, it's dusted and worn.

Quiet chattering echoes around the dimly light room, my friends and I talk at the bar.

The candy parlor, a local store everyone is told to visit, though I'm not sure why.

Is it for the sweets? Or the handsome eye candy?

A boy smiles at me and hands me some taffy saying, "It's on the house young lady."

He winks and I blink, trying to conceal my blushing cheeks.

My girlfriends squeal in jealousy, that the cute parlor boy keeps looking at me.

I sip my drink, ignoring them as they all murmur and squeak.

Cars zoom past, all in a rush to get home.

I gaze out the window, watching the pink sky swirled with cherry and gold.

My seat creaks under my weight, as deep chuckling is heard from behind.

A tall dark mysterious man stares deeply at me, brandishing a root beer float confidently in his strong rough palm.

He's accompanied in a booth of equally disturbing men, I avert my eyes, not wanting to pry.

A few more sips and I'm at the bottom of my drink, the soda fizzles on my glazed lips.

"Care for a refill?" A loud voice booms next to my ear, I shutter.

All my girlfriends grow dead silent.

The parlor boy narrows his ocean blue eyes.

My voice shrinks into the back of my throat.

The man looks at the parlor boy, "One orange soda." He asks, smiling a sickening grin.

The jukebox was all I could hear, singing a sad tune.

Then, there's a loud roaring blare of an angry car engine, as the front door is kicked in.

Bystanders scream and duck, a group of bandits enter, the chime of the bell smacks into the wall crackling.

"There's that cheating *******." One of them slurs, gun shots ring like a horrible lullaby.

Each person falls like domino's, my girlfriends crying as bullets pierce their skin.

Blood splatters the baby blue walls, the parlor boy coughs, crimson red pouring from his pretty mouth.

The taste of iron burns on my tongue, soon it begins to be all I can feel.

I don't cry, I don't scream, or beg for mercy.

I fall, hard against the cold blood soaked tile floor.

The jukebox rhythm is drowned out, as my vision begins to blur.

Now people will visit, to feel the restless spirits that will linger here forever.

Blood in the parlor, can never be washed away, it stains the walls, never to be replaced.

Sweet candlelight, a crisp scent ****** my nose.

Hollow eyes looking back into mine.

Show me the way, away from this world.

The petals fall like feathers, crimson blood drips from the walls.

Keep breathing dear.

Soft whiskers on my cheeks, whispers echo like howls in the freezing night.

Candlelight, will you guide me my way home.

I'm afraid I'll always be alone.

Touch me with your warmth, make me feel alive.

With a flicker of the sky, lighting strikes.

I gasp, biting my tongue.

The tip of a knife, the burning air hanging thick.

Flames roar, everything is silent.

Suburban homes, lined up like dolls.

Each one tumbles and falls.

Candlelight, will you guide me my way home

I'm afraid I'll always be alone

Touch me with your warmth, make me feel alive

Before you put me out, please don't make me say goodbye

Hills covered in green, as I lay beside you, wondering what it all means.

The sweet smell of Lilacs and the beautiful summer sky.

Gliding down the pavement, wind in my hair.

Almost feels like a dream, a movie, where I'm the star.

However, I keep my scars hidden.

A wide smile that will fool the world, they don't really know how broken I am inside.

Glass cuts at my skin and teeth.

Friends always hide, my mind tricking me with each **** of my breath.

Everything feels off balance, wolves howl in the street.

A figure, holds me close.

Its warmth is so familiar, almost like a loving fathers.

However, I lost that a long time ago.

The sky turns red, as dread washes over me.

I close my eyes, to a time where everything was alright.

White noise, and static echo like crashing waves.

My heart feels heavy in my chest, soon the oxygen will abandon me like the rest.

Leaving me gasping on my knees, begging for that familiar peace.

When hills covered in green, as I lay beside you, wondering what it all means.

However, it's all just a fantasy.

I'll never have true happiness, not even in my dreams.
