It was always kind of sad.
She had a traveling spirit
Dreaming of adventure
Of far away lands
All the memories
She wished to make
But she could never leave
Maybe one day,
She kept telling herself
But that one day kept getting further away
There were too many distractions
Too many things strapped to her back
Making her body too weighed down
To let even her heart wander
From a broken home
I'm left all alone
Escaping words
Inside my tattered soul
Bleeding wounds
From depths unknown
My heart hurts
My mind is blown
Bruised bones
Aching eyes
Searching for truth
Among all the lies
I'm dying inside
Without my disguise
Tears falling south
Moon to the north
I'm breaking down
Without any worth
Holding it all in
Hiding all my scars
It's only in the black of night
That I can see all the stars
Color the insides of my soul
With a black gloss paint

Empty the blood from my veins
Replace it with lava,
Keep it flowing through my heart

Fill my brain with tar
Let it harden,
To keep the headaches away

Turn my bones to to ash
Paint then neon orange flat paint
Because that's my favorite color

Make my skin redwood bark
Hard, to help keep away the pain
Because it's too much to handle

Erase my memories
Fill them in with a hypmotizing array
Of all the colors of the rainbow

I realize I'll look creepy
And scary as hell
But at least I won't feel anything
Anymore

I want nothing left
Of my miserable life
From before
Lonely hearts that bleed through the night
that fight their battles all alone
no one to cry to, no place to call home

Their gift is only travesty and rage  
with repeating in their head
thinking they may be better off dead

Lost souls drifting in a foggy night
with eye's only filled with darkness
and a mind that only knows

That they want someone too
