She died last night
What a terrible mess
She was so beautiful
Full of so much potential
Nobody could see the sadness in her eyes
She was good at hiding it
Nobody knew she had addictions that controlled her life
And as soon as she cut them loose
There was only one choice
She constantly talked about crossing over
To discover another sense
A possibility at a different life
Suicide was constantly written on her lips
or carved rather
with a blunt razor blade
Last night she died
What a terrible mess
She was so beautiful
I hope she is at rest

What's your name? I'm not so sure I should tell you mine you seem like the type of guy I've known in the past. I always fall for someone that everyone says I shouldn't am I really that blind? I like your brown hair, it matches your eyes they're deep and pregnant trying to explode but you prefer to hide all of those lies. Are you capable of changing my mind? You smell like my past, the mix of cheap cologne and the thick smoke of cigarettes battling against each other but neither coming ahead. I hate to be so blunt, or is that what I'm supposed to say I don't want to seem arrogant, your teeth are straight and white your smile might make me forget everything I'm afraid to let go of can I see it one more time? Maybe we should keep it like this, stay lovers and never be friends. Use fake names and plagiarize words we both need to hear because your face tells me your heart is as broken as mine and neither of us want to love each other. Let's get drunk off of generic light beer and turn off all the lights. I just want to taste the stale menthol lingering on your breath trying to escape the malted beverage failing to cleanse your mouth, I need to absorb your kiss to remember a night so long ago, I want to close my eyes and go back in that moment where ignorance was my only friend. I'll pretend to be her if you pretend to be him, because we both deserve this desirable sin.

Hey.
What's your name?
I'm not so sure I should tell you mine.
So please don't speak a word of truth.
You seem like the type of guy I've known in the past.
Dangerous and broken,
Tormented and dark.
I always fall for the ones I'm not supposed to.
Am I really that blind?
I like your brown hair,
Or maybe it's more black.
Either way
It matches your eyes
So deep and pregnant trying to explode,
but I can tell you prefer to hide all of those lies.
Are you capable of changing my mind?
You smell like my past,
the mix of cheap cologne and the thick smoke of cigarettes,
battling against each other but neither coming ahead.
I hate to be so blunt, or is that what I'm supposed to say?
I don't want to seem arrogant, but I think I just might.  
Your teeth are straight and white, beautiful in a way.
Your smile might make me forget everything I'm afraid to let go of,
Even if it's just for  today.
Will you burn me with your happy pain one more time?
Maybe we should keep it like this,
Stay lovers and never be friends.
Use fake names and plagiarize words we both need to hear,
because your face tells me your heart is as broken as mine
and neither of us are capable of loving each other.
Let's get drunk off of  this generic light beer,
Turn off all the lights.
I want to taste the stale menthol lingering on your breath
trying to escape the malted beverage failing to cleanse your mouth,
I need to absorb your kiss to remember a night so long ago.
I want to close my eyes and go back in that moment where ignorance was my only friend.
I'll pretend to be her if you pretend to be him,
because we both deserve this desirable sin.

Look at us,
The thirst for green is disgusting
We exploit the lands which aren't ours
We bury the children with so much potential in their eyes
So that we can make a buck or buy a cheaper HDTV
Why should a capitalist care
If a Brazilian child is dying in their mother's fragile arms,
It's one less mouth for the world to feed
And less food for them means more to feed our obese bellies
They say we have evolved so much in the past millennium
When in reality we are exactly the same but with new inventions
And more toys yet we still complain
It's always been about power
Yet the world is in a worse condition because equality is a non existent term
Just like freedom of speech
And the good guy of war
Don't you see what is going on?
Yet we prefer not to see because it is too depressing
Or doesn't affect our daily lives
Look at the inequalities of our own country
There are men women and children starving on the street
Our privileged leaders send those away who only wanted a chance
to fight for something that nobody should believe in.
Keep turning a blind eye and see where that leads you in your life
Because remember you aren't taking anything with you
Except your memories on the day in which you die

Can I ask you...?
**** that.
I demand to know.
How much is enough?

When a friend turns around,
To stab you in the heart ,
Where it hurts the most,
Instead of in the back.
While the people you love
Choose to manipulate and abuse
When a man can ignore a woman
Because he doesn't get the answer he wants
Even if she's told the truth
How much is enough?

I am floating, floating out of my mind, I am dying
unable to cry
as I watch my life fade by.
I am done
done
done
done

Because I am always wrong
There's no point
When it's only lies
But the lies aren't flying out my mouth anymore
it's only you
and I know you accuse because you are being eaten alive
So do us both a favor
And finally say goodbye.

I am  vulnerable to my emotion and it leaves me lying here like a baby imprisoned in a crib wishing i was in your arms but knowing that love will never be enough
I am thinking here about the past, about the future but unable to understand the present because I am too much of a coward to face what is happening
I'll lock all the doors and hide away.
I'll remember your kiss until it fades away
I'm in withdrawal and its making me sick
Like a heroine addict that is so desperately trying to quit
I'll forget you
Like I forgot the other men
I'll regret you
For all the crying and all the pain
But I'll love you
Until the day I close my eyes to life
And appear as a figure in the shadow of death
I wanted this more than  anything in the world
but we all have to swallow the pills to a brighter tomorrow
so that we can be happy once again

He loves her
And that's okay with me
Because I never really loved him anyway

He loves her
And her ocean colored eyes in the sunshine
With a laugh that only comes out at the most sincere of times

He loves her
And they look so beautiful together
Hand in hand kissing silently in the grass

He loves her
I swear I wasn't spying
But admiring that maybe someday my love will come home to me again

He loves her
Does my love feel the same about me?
Will he hold me with the same intensity?

He loves her
And I walk away
With the hope that tomorrow will be closer than yesterday

When reality opens ignorance's eyes
She tries so hard to shut them
but her mind is moving so fast
pain invades and numbs her veins
the blood flow shortens
and her breathing stops

Its easier to live in the fast lane
Because eventually you'll get hit
And at a maximum velocity
You will be dead on arrival
Isn't that a lovely thought?

I know I'm slightly overreacting
But I also know I'm only second best
I knew what i was getting myself into
And the thoughts terrorize me
Can I believe it when you say you love me still

Promise me it will all be okay
Because sometimes I'm positive it wont.
