I'm ****** to Hell,
As I'm sure you've heard.
It's all over town,
Spreading across the world.

The news of my damnation
May have come as a shock,
But at second glance
This becomes the talk:

"I'd known it all along"
"She'd always had that look"
"I doubt she'd ever even held a-"
"God-**** Prayer Book!"

Now let me tell you a secret,
The reason for this all.
I fell in love with freedom
(Even the notion's known to appall!)

Welcome to My Kingdom
In the cavern beneath these plains
If you've got a bit of wisdom
or even the slightest hint of brains
You surely must know
Why My Kingdom is truly the place to go
(Join me for a strip show?)

People say
That Heavens the place to be
But to eternally need to pray
Is something I'd rather like to flee.

Though there is a bit of pain
I can do anything I please.
I really can't complain
If Satan's a bit of a tease.

So Join Me
Come one, come all
Because whether you choose to or not
My Kingdom will be
Where you ultimately
Fall.
I mean no disrespect to Heaven nor anyone's beliefs on the matter.
 Mar 2014 Lover of the light
Elli
I fell into the pit
Of sadness and doubt
All because of this thing
Called society

I tore out myself
And shredded the things
That used to define me
All because they told me I can't
Be who I wanted to be

But society doesn't change
They judge you for who you are
And who you aren't
It's a prison
And we cannot escape it
You made me forget,
Forget the demons I once was.
Holding you in my arms,
What will happen to me if I forget you?
Specks of stardust,
The universe expressing itself.
How is it that we fit so close,
Snuggling into each others arms?

The stars, they might be hiding from us tonight,
But I know they're watching us.
Tiny flickers of hope and joy,
The lights we are looking for in our lives.

Happiness always comes with a price.
Joy cannot be understood without sorrow.
Standing next to you seemed so natural to me,
That I can't believe that you're gone.

I have wept only as many tears as many could flood my eyes,
After that I waited for the scarlet sunrise.
Something that will continue forever from now on,
A world without you, ashen, dull and grey.

Wounds which can never be healed,
Left upon bruised skin.
Sometimes the pain is renewed when,
I hear your melodious laugh.

Happiness can only be realized when,
It ceases to exist forevermore.
I have only one wish,
To see you once again like before.
Who are you and why do you have this effect on me?
You walked in the room and I can hardly breath
Do you make me nervous on purpose, or is it just me?
Are you doing this on purpose?
I'm falling so quickly

I don't wanna rush it and call it too soon
But if you were the sun, then I'd be the moon
Your eyes illuminate the streets with the only light I can see
I'm just a deer in your headlights when you look at me

Take me anywhere you want to go
I'd follow you into the dark in places I don't know
Wherever you are is where I want to be
You're everything I want, and all that I can see

If you have a hint of doubt about the things that I have said
Just believe me when I say, you do laps inside my head
If you leave it up to me,
I'd tell you to stick around
You be the tree,
I'll be the roots in the ground
I'll help you grow and try to give you everything you need
Darling, it'd make me happy if you grew old with me
popularity is just relatability
see them in that mirror watching you
but check your compacts at the door
(look them in the eye)
they might **** you tonight
who doesn't hate what they see
staring back, fade to black
in this highschool drama scene
who the **** are you?
can't be me
because i know myself, and this
dyed hair, straight kicks, concert tix
i see. that kid just aint all me
give me my pen, it stronger than the
wings of that waterproof eyeliner
you cried off in the bathroom stall
last tuesday
drew em back, of course
sharper than a sword but twice as brittle
because you hate the way they frame
you eyes, and your lies too
tonight, check you faces at the door
come in clear
and dont check your face to see
who's looking at you
we all see the same screen
our pores in bass-relief
Untitled got longer. Better or not is debatable. Still going.
With you I'm learning what falling in love feels like because I'm in love with you.

And I asked you to give me a month,
you would have waited years.
And you asked me to take
my cues from you,
and really do this right.

So I hope these notes are all right because with you
I think I know what falling in love feels like and it doesnt feel like anything before

I hope the world turns slowly,
because I'm falling fast and I
want to cherish this,
this working thing we have,
and only complicated
by those who've never been here.

But now I know what falling in love feels like.

You told me I could be run off by you,
but all roads lead to you
my Rome, my Romeo.
Our points are set,
our hearts are buried deep and even
and with you in front of me
I can't miss a single moment
falling into you.
I want to share everything with you,
and for once, I'm not at all scared to
because I want you
to fall in love with every piece of me,
just like I am with every slice of you.

So I hope these notes are all right because with you
I think I know what falling in love feels like and it doesnt feel like anything before

I hope the world turns slowly,
because I'm falling fast and I
want to cherish this,
this working thing we have,
and only complicated
by those who've never been here.

Lying on your bed,
lying on my bed,
wherever we are doesn't matter.
I can always find you on the rink
and the river, in the hall
and from anywhere with cell service
if I'm gonna be as honest as my heart is telling me I love you.
Told this one I'd fix it up.
if it started in the basement where do we end up?

when my lips press up questions with my hands far down below
what do I want from you?
new love got noticed today

re-calibrate and judge again
is there anything we've fought for?
the text behind my fingers might be lying but my lips for sure are not.
holding hands doesn't count when your mouth is facing the other way

back at home shallow hands we've hung up at the door
and duct-taped truth gagged in the den
if it's in the open, it shouldn't have to be said
but you just could be blind? or is your mouth not quite on straight?
like mine.

re-calibrate and judge again
is there anything we've fought for?
the text behind my fingers might be lying but my lips for sure are not.
holding hands doesn't count when your mouth is facing the other way

please try again with this vending machine of love
I wont take your crumpled-for-granted dollar no more
take me out to city streets
or i'll just go alone
and perhaps text you when i'm home

re-calibrate and judge again
is there anything we've fought for?
the text behind my fingers might be lying but my lips for sure are not.
holding hands doesn't count when your mouth is facing the other way

reading lines from a script in goodnights and hello's and daring daring not to say
when I didn't always mean it
it goes unspoken face to face
what do you hear between us?
I think I'm going deaf

re-calibrate and judge again
is there anything we've fought for?
re-calibrate and judge again
is there anything we've fought for?

holding hands doesn't count when my mouth is facing the other way pressed against somebody else's.
I hope you notice before I have to say.
there have always been words
stoppered up against my
lips that would ruin us
i'm so afraid to say
-that i would take a
breath- ruin us
with a song
some days the sun shines
some days the sky pours out on us
and before that all the dawn's good light goes
why bother asking you why
all you know is that it ought to be blue
but buildings always turn to gray up high
so how wrong can you be?

don't lie to me
don't come crying to me about all of your mistakes
i'm done with your problems
done being your solution, sounding board for bigger better things
i'm done with this
done with all of your ****
done being what you have to kick around

this building aint well structured
and we're the ivy falling off the sides
to find a better place for all our roots and shoots up in sidewalks are better
your AC was so dry
your humors outdated
you're problems all too trite
why the hell would i put up with that?

don't lie to me
don't come crying to me about all of your mistakes
i'm done with your problems
done being your solution, sounding board for bigger better things
i'm done with this
done with all of your ****
done being what you have to kick around

if it rains it pours with you
cant see the sunset for the clouds
cant be all that i supported
i'll be done with you and all your failings too
done with all your mistakes and tears
goodnight
goodbye
i'm done being your own **** up
don't you dare lie to me
i'm done with your problems
done being your solution, sounding board for bigger better things
done being what you have to kick around
done being what you have to kick around.
"it was not a well-structured form and we felt like climbing ivy falling off the sides." was the first line I came up with, the thesis if you will.
