F.H.S.R.D.D.
Skyler M Oct 2017
F.H.S.R.D.D.
There's a cynical feeling
And it's burning a hole
Though my everlasting soul
When it's evil that lights up the road
There's nowhere to go but down
Embrace your anger and turn it to dust.


There's now a hole
As I'm breaking down
No promises but I may have a soul
Be the one that feeds the demon at the crossroad
Rejecting is the feeling
Cry to the empire, demand your gold dust


Your pen is the weapon, now, grab it before it turns to dust
Is there anything else I could be feeling?
But I'm not so I'm going down
Have you ever felt another human's soul?
They show nothing but the road
In the path they find, a golden hole


Down the rabbit pit
Into a new found soul
Pray for another pile of dust
Dig a hole
How lonely they'll be feeling
Walking that road


Sing out your soul
In the middle of a dirt road
Drop into the hole
Become the drifting dust
Mild nightmares when I'm getting down
Scream for every feeling


Wake up in a hole
Blow the smoke through the feeling
Descending down
On a ledge of dust
I'm not feeling my soul
I'm losing myself on the winding road

Mr. Lake
Skyler M Oct 2017
Mr. Lake
All the thoughts that I hate
And wish to exterminate

Mr. Lake

All the razors that I've flushed
and wish to forget

Mr. Lake

All the memories that I left in the rain
and wish to purge

Mr. Lake

Don't forget that he is alive
He will flood my membrane
fill it with something that I crave

Mr. Lake

Eyes of the cat and teeth of a lion
He'll befriend me
Contending all the secrets
That's him, yes it is

Mr. Lake

Trees
Skyler M Oct 2017
Trees
Standing under the trees
Under the canopies
It's a symphony and your voice is leading

I can't take credit for something I did do
I'll just hand it over to you
Maybe you'll grow and become famous
Then I can watch as you smile and laugh at Mr. Lake

Standing under the trees
Under the galaxies
It's the big bang and our voices caused it
          
I am dying with every step
I am dying with every breath
but the last part of my soul still lives
The part that lives for you

Standing under the trees
Under the sheets
It's the next chapter and our hearts are It

Hand.
Skyler M Oct 2017
Hand.
So then i'd stand,
hand in hand,
hoping it goes as planned.

The hair strand,
falling inland,
my left-hand,
reaching for the inkstand.

Hand.

My fingertips are tipped with black,
I'm watching all the books stack,
before I take my life on the amtrack,

I'm getting so much feedback,
brain is swelling and before I know it I the hand crack,
all the voices are getting cutback.

Hand.

If your really understood,
then why are your hands all wood,
they might as well be on fire, firewood.

Hand.

A ends with whY
Skyler M Oct 2017
A ends with whY
An icy chill fills the room
Memories will start to fade
I'm with Pandora's box
Should I leave or should I grieve?

Memories will start to fade
I'm panicking now, as usual
Judging me for what and not who I am
It's choking my heart

I'm panicking now, as usual
My chest convulses I cannot breathe
It's choking my heart
Starts with an A ends with a whY?

Mrs. Creativity
Skyler M Oct 2017
Mrs. Creativity
I found my place,
Among the broken individuals who,
Foretold me of a place much brighter than this.

I almost couldn't believe them,
Until I made contacted the infamous Mrs. Creativity,
She told I could make it if stayed a little longer.

Telling me to throw away the knife in the cabinet,
I obliged, my hands trembling as it slipped down the garbage.
I could tell my back got lighter as my wings began to spread.

Mr. Lake left me alone last night and I fell asleep in peace.
I couldn't wait to go and tell for showtime.

The Lights Across
Skyler M Oct 2017
The Lights Across
The lights across the street are lit but mine is out
I can tell it's much darker than last night's route.
I hang onto the tree limbs and lead bones in the house.

The feeling is that I never wanna leave but the skeletons in the closet say otherwise.
Yelling and perfecting my next, new route.
I plead myself guilty as the man with a knife walks out the room.

The lights across the street are gone now, along with mine.
I could tell it's definitely darker than the other night out.
I hang onto the ashen leaves and grim tones in the shed.

Hope
Skyler M Oct 2017
Hope
Imagine a light,
coming from the end of the tunnel.
That's hope

Imagine your pet,
getting up after being hit by a car.
That's hope

Imagine a child,
their smile from seeing a little candy in your hand.
That's hope

Imagine Darkness,
and you holding hands with her.
That's hope

Depression
Skyler M Oct 2017
Depression
It's overwhelming.
Can you feel it now?

The emptiness in your chest,
accentuating the boulders on your back.

I'm listening to myself cry,
in the last bathroom stall.

I'm pathetic.
I'd think.
I'm worthless.
I'd think.
I should...

It's those choking realization moments
where you know you're digging yourself deeper.
You can't stop it though.
So the hand reaches for the knife.

Got to Sleep
Skyler M Oct 2017
Got to Sleep
Go to sleep
please.
I've got to sleep
please.

The messages in my brain
won't stop ringing and ringing and ringing
but I cannot pick up the phone
cause my hands are shackled to my sides.

Go to sleep
please.
I've got to sleep
please.

The cold war,
just replays and replays and replays
but I cannot push pause
cause the button is gone.

Go to sleep
please.
I've got to sleep
please.

Brick by Brick
Skyler M Oct 2017
Brick by Brick
For the land underneath my time
It's a crowd of thunder
from a man into a crow
becomes the king, himself.

Brick by brick
we can build this kingdom
from the bones up
your reign has ended

Now back off
cause I'm taking back what's rightfully mine
fulfilling the prophecy I created
give me your famous last words

I'm sending you down a rabbit hole
why don't you let me know where it goes?
there's something at the end you'll want to see
the anger that infested me now out to get you

Where will you run?
when you've got no place to hide.

Recite The Line
Skyler M Oct 2017
Recite The Line
Recite the line,
From under skys,
The light behind your eyes,
From which they will dine.

Recite the line,
Above the crowd,
Much too proud,
Dying inside the mine.

For You
Skyler M Oct 2017
For You
We've reached the end of the earth,
Where the ground has dug up by centuries,
I'm taking your broken wings and hanging them up by the door,
When the lights fade,
And you're by my side,
I'll be hold you up,
as I drown in the dirt.

There's nothing like it now,
The feeling,
Of knowing you have my eyes,
You're guiding me home,
From the black forest.

Can you feel the midnight?
Creep into your veins,
I'm keeping them from red to blue,

For you.

I Doubt It, Dad
Skyler M Oct 2017
I Doubt It, Dad
They never really told you why,
you could never see the guy who told it's all right.
And maybe you're just over thinking it,
or maybe they hated his guts and wanted him away.

Either way,
I miss his hugs and little fake smiles,
warmed my day and then some more.

Is there something I could have done,
to change the path of his life?
Is there something I could have said,
to make him stay?

He repeats, "It's not your fault"
I doubt.
I doubt,
that's ever been true.

I make myself a bed of bones,
cause I can't feel myself.
All I need is you by my side.

Spine
Skyler M Oct 2017
Spine
Call me tonight
Hold my spine
As I give up another heart
Is there anything you can do besides pleasing?
Cause I'm only looking for hope

Grab my spine
There's no more heart
Nothing I do, gives me hope
So, give me yours, tonight
It would be quite pleasing

Anything I can do for you, heart?
You lost your spine,
Bet it feels so pleasing
You don't need any hope.
In the midnight, tonight.

Welcome to Democracy
Skyler M Oct 2017
Welcome to Democracy
Welcome.
to Democracy,
where people have the choice
but no one uses their voice.

When.
will we learn that,
in order to change,
We.
gotta make our voice heard.

Then.
the sirens will ring out,
Everyone scatters.
into little holes in the broken earth.

The Young
we are The Young,
the ones who control,
The Fate.

though you might stand alone,
away from The Young.
Standing in my arms,
watching towers fall from grace.

we can start,
all over.
please don't kiss my lips,
I cannot bear the razors in your teeth.

I've gone through nothing,
compared to The Old.

The Fate,
rocks The Old to sleep,
foretelling of,
a brand new world,
but only Time.

only will The Young,
call you to arms.

A toy of a women.
Her eyes of gold,
and tongue of thorns.

She eyes the cigarette in his open mouth
His limbs sprawled onto the floor
The lungs he once spoke from, now charred with tar.

Bang Bang?
Skyler M Oct 2017
Bang Bang?
I outpour
Never will I soar
Only from the core
Then they check through my drawers

Next they rewire
So i'd admire
every second of my own desire

Lastly, I hear the ricochets
through my own airway

I cannot speak
As they call me a freak
Life is looking bleak

Bang Bang?

I Am Youth.
I don't know

Anything at all.

Anything at all.

I am of young age,

I am only tolerated.

Never listened to.

I have words to speak,

but all they are is nonsense.

Nothing but nonsense.

Sight
Skyler M Oct 2017
Sight
Take a look,
what do you see?
I'm looking at the same painting as you are.
Yet, all you can deduce is the blood on her hands,
not the look on her face,
not the man on the ground.
Which in his hands is a silver, glimmering knife.

Home Is Where I Died
Skyler M Oct 2017
Home Is Where I Died
I dream of life outside,
the walls that caved me in.
In this particular silence,
without rhythm does my heart beat.

Under the trees
and forestry greens
a life you refused to see
blinded by the holy grail in your way

Home is where I died

The House on the Cliff
Skyler M Oct 2017
The House on the Cliff
An ember revives itself with a gust of wind
As does a man who revives himself with her soft touch
The liqueur on his floor is no longer there
Along with the cigarette tray on the maple mantle

The sea now clashes gently with a soothing crash
Instead of tossing the man from his railing
The rats have turn to mice, chattering beneath the floorboards
Now the house creaks in harmony to the dancing in the den

He could've been the once at the bottom of the sea
but the rocks from the cliffs did it for him
The knives in the kitchen could be inside his skin but yet they sit, untouched.
While her lips move softly, he's not listening but waiting.
As if the world would grant him powers to give her everything.

Like the house on the cliff,
Never dying until they did.

Miss my, Miss yours
Skyler M Oct 2017
Miss my, Miss yours
Hope you resent me
Cause once I leave
You won't have to miss my eyes
You won't have to miss my hands
You won't have to miss my voice

Think your way out of this maze
Stay positive and lay yourself in a bed of flowers
Your rotting corpse killing the plantation
Did you really think that was the solution?

Throw me all your hate
So when I leave
I won't have to miss your eyes
I won't have to miss your hands
I won't have to miss your voice

And I Will
Skyler M Oct 2017
And I Will
This is my time
my life is flashing before my eyes
I've realized this is the end
And I will kiss all of them goodbye

The voices never left my head
My breakfast consists of pills and death
death of my own unique self
And I will kiss all of them goodbye

Could I ever pull the plug
I'm to much of a coward
Don't have to spell it out
And I will kiss all of them goodbye

It reeks of boredom
The four walls I've caged myself into
And the demon I nurtured
Is coming life
And I will kiss all of them goodbye

Time, Place, and Cage
Skyler M Oct 2017
Time, Place, and Cage
Oh do I wish I could tell,
but Time decides he will instead.
Oh do I wish I could see,
but Place decides he will guide me.
Oh do I wish I could break free,
but Cage is resisting, his eyes on a prize.
Oh do I wish,
Oh do I wish.

Curse
Skyler M Sep 2017
Curse
I know I shouldn't be cursing
Mamma wouldn't be proud
I think about it everyday
How I can't be the boy
She wants me to be

I'm to weak
Beaten down
Into the black pavement
To follow every saint
I don't hear the clouds sing
I couldn't hear the clouds sing
I'm descending now

Consider Me Gone
Skyler M Sep 2017
Consider Me Gone
I set a fire
The time was dire
My mind will expire
The night goes haywire

I'm wide awake
Feeling the heartache
I can feel you forsake
Sitting by Mr. Lake

Tell me I gotta be one way
Drain my soul and turn me gray
Like your filthy ashtray
I cannot stay

Consider me gone
Consider me gone

Dadda
There's something I need to say
Dadda
There's something on my mind

I'm watching stars come crashing down
As the moon screams in delight
the wind whispers my name
Saying, "Everything will be alright."

I can't see your eyes and I'm tasting mud
But pools of static are haunting mine.
I wish to hold on to something strong
but the arm that I'm grasping is unlatching now...

Dadda
I'm telling the jury the puppet is dancing
Dadda
I've had your shoes, I put them on for size

Though I never saw the gun by your bedside,
Now I can feel your breath fading
I'll go crawling down
Looking for a dead body

He can't hear me scream his name
the jury's decided no more playing
Deathrow for the man with a tender embrace

Dadda...

Dadda...

Can't Hold Back
Skyler M Sep 2017
Can't Hold Back
Detonate the fuse
Gonna start a ruse
We are gonna lose
Now it's time to break the cues

Can't hold back
Can't hold back

They just wanna live in war times
Never in time to the chimes
They're gonna live sometime
Can't hold back full-time

Can't hold back
Can't hold back

Detonate the crowd
Feeling so endowed
Yelling out loud
Taking a bow

Can't hold back
Can't hold back

They just wanna live in wartimes
Never in time to the chimes
They're gonna live sometime
Can't hold back

Can't hold back
Can't hold back

Detonate the main street
Underneath our feet
Well it's gonna reek
I can't hear any heartbeat

Can't hold back
Can't hold back

Father up above
Sent me a dove
A message of love

Can't hold back
Can't hold back
