We're not in love.
We share no stories.
Our stories don't interwine,
Just something in your eyes.

Don't be afraid,
The shadows know me.

Let's leave the world behind.

Take me through the night,
Fall in to the dark side!

We don't need the light!

I see it,
Let's feel it!

Let go of the light,
Fall into the dark side!

Fall into the dark side,
Let go of the light,
Give in to the dark side.

Beneath the sky,
As black as a goodbye,
I give a sigh,
We're running out of time...

Don't wait for truth,
To come and blind us...
Let's just believe the lies.

After all, that's all there is!

Believe it,
I see it,
I know that you can feel it.

No secrets worth keeping,
Nothing worth seeking,
In the light.

Shadows creeping,
Your light version weeping,
Dark version sleeping.

Your time is up,
This place is corrupt,
Let's live on the dark side!

I look up from the ground,
To notice my sad, miserable tears from my eyes.
They start to wonder what's on my mind,
"When I tell them, do the colors even drain from their face?"
I wonder...

And a person said:
"I know you love her, but it's over.
It doesn't matter, put the phone away, stop messaging her.
It's never easy to walk away, let her go...
It'll be alright."

I wanted to look back at all the messages she's sent,
And I know it wasn't right, but it was ******* with my head...
And everything deleted, like the past, it was gone,
And when I touched my face,
Felt the tears,
I could tell I'd never be moving on.

But it's not the fact that I dreamt of her yesterday,
It's the feeling of betrayal, that I just can't seem to shake.

"It's gonna hurt for a bit of time,
So bottoms up, let's forget tonight.
You'll find another, and you'll be just fine.
Let her go."

But nothing heals the past, not mine.

You can’t see me now...
In the mess
That you left,
When you tore my world, proud,
Left me full with doubt.

And you can’t hear me cry...
I feel the pain coming from the part of my heart,
That swore to you, he will never say goodbye.

Days speed by me now...
In my mind, it’s like a ghost town,
Trying to forget the past,
That we had.

I see no chance of healing from my past,
Things keep repeating without an end...

Over and over, thought I found the person who will stay...
But they left, turning my whole wide world gray.
It started out as a poem about my last girlfriend, Lucy, but I ended up realizing all my relationships ended the same. They left me broken, each hurting worse and worse, and leaving me with more and more scars, leading to several mental disorder developments.

I met a cute girl,
She kinda looked like her.
And of course I ****** up that...
****** up at...
Everything possible.

And though I know,
That’s it’s all bound to drop dead...
And though I know,
That it’s all bound to come to an end...
I...
I still feel so worthless...
I...
I feel so **** worthless.

But hey, I’ll just tell myself that it doesn’t matter!

Hey!
It doesn’t matter!

Hey!
You were not meant to be together.
Hey!
You’re not compatible with her.

Hey...
It’s okay, it’s alright...
Just hold tight...

For just a little while longer...

Why do you try so hard?

I more and more
Am realizing everything is meaningless,
And more and more
Am realizing it’s all pointless,
So since all’s for nothing,
Do I really need to keep this society’s
Boundaries?

Can’t you see?
Everything is pointless.
Can’t you see?
Everything will end in sadness.
Can’t you see?
You’re bound to go depressed.
Can’t you see?
You’re doomed to drop dead.

So, why do you try
So hard to avoid it all?
So, why do you try
So hard to be ignorant?

There is absolutely no point,
Life is ultimately meaningless.
Nothing matters in the end.

I can't even remember how it started...

Drifting from who I was,
My normal just slowly departed from me.
Foggy glimpses of the boy I used to be.

Ripping through the last shreds of my humanity,
Right on the edge of insanity,
I'm not but a shadow of what, and who I was,
Can you guess what was the cause?

As time goes on,
I am more and more losing myself,
Turning absolutely insane, there is now no sense of self.

I'm starting to be really bloodthirsty.

As time goes on,
I more and more want to hurt somebody,
Physically.

I want to feel something, anything!

I'm slowly losing my sanity,
It's getting real hard to keep myself from breaking the limits,
Of this society we live in!

But can you blame me?
I just want to feel excited,
Happy,
Have a geniune smile on my **** face.

Do you comprehend
An existence like mine,
Where you feel nothing?
While people around you find happiness,
And joy,
In things that mean nothing to you?

I've been resisting my urges for a while,
But I'm slowly getting out of control,
Nothing can make me whole.

Things are gonna get real ugly,
Real soon.

Therapy won't help this insane existence of mine.
Trust me, they tried, and tried.
Phsychologists, psychiatrists,
5 types of antidepressants,
A bunch of relaxants,
And diagnosis of many, many mental disorders.
Nothing could get me back in order,
I guess they were too late, I already crossed all sane borders.

Yup... For years, to no avail.

Go on, mock me, say I'm insane;
But it's your kind that did this to me.
But please, watch your tongue,
Words are hurtful.

Hush now, won't you stay a while?
Join me with a painted smile.

Tragic faces,
Stationed at my bedside,
Warm embraces,
While I'm hollow on the inside.

Their eyes betray them,
This is only a painted smile.

After my attempts,
People just wouldn't buy my painted smiles,
So they tried, and tried,
Everything they could think of.

Religion, mental hospitals, therapy, and medication...
If only they knew what a monster I try to keep inside every day,
Will their opinions change that day,
Will they regret it when I unleash the beast inside?

So 'till the day I tear myself from the inside,
Won't you join me with a painted smile?
Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder,
Borderline Personality Disorder,
Dissociative Identity Disorder,
Dissociative Depersonalization-Derealization Disorder,
Avoidant Personality Disorder,
Anxiety,
Major Depressive Disorder.

Isn't it upsetting how many disorders you can have inside of you?
I can barely count them all.

Oh, how disgusting.
All this disguising...
To become somebody that’s worth existing.

Oh, it's repulsing.
Fully engulfing...
Every truth, that ever found itself hiding.

So join me...
Hey let's play a lying game!
And ***** ourselves, with something exciting!

Deceiving, and heartless thieving...
After all life is so dull without some bleeding.

Such is life for a boring... Existence...

Cause I’m a...
Liar, liar!
And only that is true!
After all fire, fire...
Is something I pursue!
Just call out liar, liar!
And I’ll infect you too...
With the addictive taboo...
Of bidding the truth adieu.

Trust me!
That’s a lie, such a lie, for a lie!
You see, I can’t pry my own dyed scheming eyes.
So please, forgive my falsified truthful lies.
...Truly... Lying!

‘Cause I’m a liar.

Oh, how appalling.
The lies are crawling...
And covering every single little bit.

Oh, how revolting.
And full of loathing.
It’s nauseating!
Exhilarating,
Isn’t it?

Manipulating.
Hardly pulsating...
A heart like that, is the only one that’s free.

Without emotion,
Without devotion...
It’s much easier to fake something happy.

Much easier to fake yourself being happy...

So, join me!
Hey, let's play a lying game!
And cover ourselves, with something inviting!

Rewriting, and truly lying...
Finally a story that wasn’t meant to end with painful feelings!

Put on the masks, and let's have us a masquerade!
Dancing senselessly, on the shadows of the betrayed!
A smiling, and crying, and lying charade...
Such is life for a boring... Existence.

'Cause I’m a liar, liar,
And only that is true!
After all fire, fire,
Is something I pursue!
Just call out liar, liar!
And I’ll infect you too...
With the addictive taboo...
Of bidding the truth adieu.

'Cause I’m a liar.

Peek-a-peek-a-boo!
Ha, ha, I found you!
Hiding from the truth...
Well it’s nothing new.

Peek-a-peek-a-boo!
I can see right through!
Liars know liars...
Like you know the back of your own hand.

It’s bland.
Such an existence...
Where everything goes as planned.
Wasteland...
Is much more fun to navigate and understand.
That’s why...
I left it behind, my world is covered in lies.
That’s why...
It seems there’s no longer blue in my sky...

So...

Put on the masks, and let's have us one last masquerade!
Dancing senselessly, on the shadows of the betrayed!
A smiling, and crying, and lying charade!
Such is life for the boring existence... Of a liar.

Am I a... liar? Liar?
Does it seem that way to you?
After all fire, fire...
Is burning through the roof...

'Cause you’re all... liars, liars!
And I don’t know what’s true!
After all fire, fire...
Has ravaged all I knew...

I call out liar, liar!
I cannot trust you!
But the world has gone askew...
And there’s nothing else to do...
Except bid the truth adieu...

Leave this, leave it behind, hide it in the back of your head!

I’ve given up on all I knew,
There is nothing, that is truly true.
I’ve given up on all I knew,
Because after they betrayed me, they’ve gone askew.
I’ve given up on all I knew,
Because life, people are so boring and dull,
There is nothing for me here.

I don’t see a point in living...
That’s a lie..?

Trust me!
What’s a lie?
Is it lies?
Only lies!
I can’t pry my blind eyes, while I cry...
Please, forgive my blackened sky full of lies!

Truly... Lying!
Truly... Dying...
