Break Out
Skyler M May 2019
When the world came crashing down,
Your shoulders were breaking out of this town.

Your skin doesn't stick together like it used to when you were young,
Watching the spiders as they are strung,
From the wall you're a nobody's girl,
I'm here to hold you as you hurl,
The catastrophes your eyes have taken,
and if I'm not mistaken,
you're in love with me,
I swear I won't flee.

Keep your demons close,
Taking all of those blows,
I don't know how you do it,
I'd have quit and had a fit,
You're nothing but a husk,
Waiting for dusk to break fake fallacies,

I said that, "I wanna see you happy"
Well, let's not get too sappy,
Otherwise I just might cry,
You're no stranger to asking why,
I'm a mama's boy you're just a broken toy,
but you're gonna wanna stick with me,
I'll show you every tree by the sea,
I'll reveal what the hell they mean by smile,
I never wanna see you on an Isle alone.

Painted White Roses
Skyler M Sep 2018
Fallen from Hell,
Out of the peripherals of my vision,
I saw her smile,
She breaths sadness onto the window,
I heard her laugh.
Watch as she walks herself onto the street,
I felt her hand.
Head wrapped in white roses to pretend.

I felt everything inside of her pour out onto the floor.
Skyler M Dec 2021
So distant from the future yet so close to the past,
This barrier that prevents me from taking one more step,
Eyes to the ground I won't make eye contact,
These greedy beings are far too rough to me.

Cease to exist,
Won't be fixed,
Down the list,
I'm told I'm missed,
It hurts like an engorged cyst.

Wringing my bones of the infectious mold,
Pay God a sum to fix me with venomous tongues,
I won't bathe in the pity that a loved one engorges on,
All day and every night till the very day I die.

Cease to exist,
Won't be fixed,
Down the list,
I'm told I'm missed,
It hurts like an engorged cyst.

Waterboard these treasonous instincts,
Tomorrow's a new day to forgive you of the infliction,
Another wine cup made from Jesus that I won't drink,
I've kissed Lucifer and told him God is nobody worth loving,
Cause if God won't love me for who I was and who I became,
Then God doesn't deserve to breed his impotence and greed.

Yet.
In all his glory, he shines down on the sinners,
Promising to be the golden riches we lust after,
He no longer deserves capitalization for further polluting,
O' our wretched hands.

Disgrace to A Grace
Skyler M Feb 2019
I'm not ready to comply,
Cause I don't know if I can rely,
Or take any side,
Between yours and mine,
Mine takes the most time,
To pretend that I'll be fine.

To be a disgrace,
To my lovely saving grace,
Two sided place becomes my face,
Oh, I could apologize but to entice,
I must hold you high above the fights.

People would be shocked to know,
How I don't find you a foe,
But more so a friend,
I'll take that notion.

To be a disgrace,
To my lovely saving grace,
Two sided place becomes my face,
Oh, I could apologize but to entice,
I must hold you high above the fights.

The Devil's Subway Train
Skyler M Oct 2018
Im on a subway train,
It's dimly lit and I'm the only soul,
Some would call it the Devil's train,
But as far as I can tell It's been nice.

My hands are cold and so is my nose,
Time slows down I'm suddenly not alone,
His eyes glow yellow and nails grow sharp,
He threatens me to stay seated,
I cannot take my eyes off of the man,
I cannot see his face, is this my death?

He's stepping to me,
A green and black wool hoodie and tight black jeans,
I know who this is and I'm afraid,
He pulls something out of his pocket,
A torch, the fire is there and somehow lit,
Handing it to me, he steps off of the moving train.
I then realize that I can die- open and inviting me.

Tempted, I lean over the edge and try,
Failing, I end up back on the seat I was sitting on,
Glancing down at the torch on the dirtied ground,
I try to make it brighter but it doesn't seem to work,
Then I realize the purpose of this torch,
It flickers in recognition and glows brighter.

I'm ready to move on,
The train slows to a stop and a road sits outside the doors,
So I take this as a sign to get out and move,
Trekking down the path with a blazing torch that's my own.

Lost
Skyler M Nov 2017
Please, don't forget about me,
Cause If I forget about myself,
Someone's bound to as well,
Though I can't say that for the rest of my life.

I know that I am lost,
but I know that you are lost as well,
Maybe we can guide each other to light?

Shadows are chasing me,
Through more empty stairwells,
As the memories are displayed,
Broken and untouched on the walls.

I know that I am lost,
but I know that you are lost as well,
Maybe we can be light for each others eyes?

Life is(n't) a Highway
Skyler M Dec 2018
Life is a highway, one way and no way else,
At least that's what they insist,
But it traps me inside a lane,
I can't get out of the crawling traffic,
Let's get out of the car,
Roll down your windows,
Escape into the ditches and cleverly hidden cabins of forests.

Keep moving,
Don't stop or else you might end up inside the car again,
Keep moving,
The sun will never dip if you follow it,
Keep moving,
Your dreams are wherever you are in the forest.

Life is a highway, one way and no way else,
But I like to think there's something more,
Perhaps a trail that leads thousands of miles away from where you started,
You'll pass by three legged deer and struck down trees,
Nothing you will pass will ever be familiar,
Like seeing through new eyes every mile you make alive.

Keep moving,
Don't stop or else you might end up inside the car again,
Keep moving,
The sun will never dip if you follow it,
Keep moving,
Your dreams are wherever you are in the forest.

Flow
Skyler M Apr 2018
In the pouring light, singing songs of my delight.
Remembering times come to pass, a display in the blue grass.
Parting ways with my day, nothing left to say.
Otherwise, I'd be dead, how else will they be fed?
One charm and left too soon, under the bright red moon.
Heres lies my debt, conjuring what I had met.
Things don't seem as fair, sit down in a woven green chair.
I forget what I lost, but I know that they already crossed.
Lied to me, why couldn't you leave me be?
I never loved you, So I threw my other shoe.
Into the river where I died. Where I lay.

Lost
Skyler M Dec 2017
You know you've lost yourself,
When the darkness from last night,
Seeps into the morning,
Filtering into your brain.

Watch yourself,
Take it easy,
Keep it slow.

You know you've lost your sight,
When the darkness from last night,
Seeps into the morning,
Behind both of your eyelids.

Watch yourself,
Take it easy,

Searching and Searching
Skyler M Apr 2019
I've been searching,
I don't have much time,
Cause time will run out,
All I can do is give you my address,
Maybe you'll find me there,
But maybe you won't,
Cause I'll be out.

Looking under rocks,
Throwing stones into the river,
Looking through grass,
Chewing seeds until my teeth wear,
Looking behind sheds,
And breaking inside to get to the tools.

I'll forget to leave a note,
And you'll wonder where I am,
If I'm searching for a God,
Or my indestructible purpose,
I sometimes wonder,
If purpose if my God,
Because that's all I pray to,
Yet despite my conclusion,
I'm still...

Looking under rocks,
Throwing stones into the river,
Looking through grass,
Chewing seeds until my teeth wear,
Looking behind sheds,
And breaking inside to get to the tools.

Mess With Me
Skyler M May 2019
Black leather chair with empty classroom desks,
Summer is catching up with a piña colada in its hand,
****, let's find a chill space 'cause I'm sick today,
Empty halls with spilled green tea, it's slicked the ground,

Ugly face, Be Bold, Colorful skull, and Miss Substitute,
Lined up in a bright pink row,
Explore, Target, In the now,
The Great Gatsby, I forgot to read it, am I gonna pass well I don't know.

Reflections from soda cans with my face,
*****, greasy black laptop screen,
Kick it back cause I don't give a ****,
You're a ****** and I'm so much dumber.

****** LED light up my room so I can catch my target,
Which sits on my bed as I sit at my desk,
Well boys will be boys as he punches me for being mean,
I'm 'bout just eighteen and I haven't learned anything.

Breathless Men
Skyler M Mar 2019
Breathing inspires thinking,
A breathless man is passionless,
Open up those eyes and look at fear,
For fear wants you to see,
That it's the only thing standing in your way.

Make your excuses,
But once you open your mouth,
You'll find you can yell so loud,
That maybe even space could hear you.

I don't mind if you're stuck in the room,
I was stuck there too and it's up to you,
To find a way out of it's damage,
Fear will crumble over you and,
ensnare you until you breathe again.

Find a way to breathe,
Find a way to breathe.

Below your eyelids is a color,
A color that inspires feeling,
And a feeling will sing something foreign yet inviting,
So take it out and crush them into your palms,
Live again,
Do it and breathe again.
Skyler M Feb 2019
Red under fabric,
Single creative head made to spin out,
Drugs are ineffective but so's my hand,
Torn fresh bodies ruin the carpet of your room,
How they got there is unquestionable,
I won't judge your darkest nights.

Flush down those thorns,
Watch me move,
Let me entrance you,
I'll keep you safe,
If things get, vicious,
I'll break those arms trying to hurt you.

There's enough but not enough,
Maroon puddles you jump into,
Get transported into a world,
You don't understand and you can't think,
The world will overcome everything you lost,
Your head, your chains, your trust.

Flush down those thorns,
Watch me move,
Let me entrance you,
I'll keep you safe,
If things get, vicious,
I'll break those arms trying to hurt you.

Typical Facade
Skyler M May 2022
I don't care where I'd be,
I'd take anywhere I can drop,
A typical person facade,
And take my heart out of it's box.

I'd lose my mind,
I'd lose my mind otherwise,
Soon, here, now I'll be giving,
Everything I got for the night.

Once it's gotten all out,
I better be a heaving,
non-breathing mess,
Untangled upon a ***** floor,
Non-burdened going further,
Than I ever have before,
It's what I've been looking for,
Years, years of non-concrete fears,
Pushing relentlessly as I'm near,
This is all I want to feel.

I'd lose my mind,
I'd lose my mind otherwise,
Soon, here, now I'll be giving,
Everything I got for the night.

I'd never be alone if I allowed,
For this chance to slip below,
I know I have just an hour,
The numbing pressure to cower,
Is so viciously overpowering.

White Waves
Skyler M Sep 2018
Borrow time and sink even further,
Death doesn’t want any more deals,
Masquerading around in my armour,
When I’m surrounded by friendly fish,
Am I sick for thinking that everything is going to hurt me?

Charcoal eels slip by my tongue,
And wrap it up so I can’t talk at all,
I’m ashamed of their selfish ways,
I’m not drowning anymore,
I’m just sinking into the waves.

White water still remains,
Even though I’m miles underneath,
I’m catching a cold but I don’t care,
Whether or not I’m alive I don’t care,
Curfew was at 9 but I don’t care,
But I really, really want to.

Here comes the great big shark,
He only ever eats off bits,
My mind getting smaller and smaller,
I can’t walk anymore,
I’m bleeding out once again,
I apologize, Mr. Shark, please leave me alone.
Please, leave me alone.
I’m not your enemy.

Apologetic Ideator
Skyler M Sep 2024
I know you don’t know,
Just how many times,
I have asked to die,
Well, I’m not special for it,
I know, I recite it for my ego.

Crippling self-awareness turns,
Folds over, crushes my free will,
What I want could get me killed.

Should I be pulled apart by machinery?
Painful until the untimely fade of the mind?
Or should I find my deathbed at the end,
Lay down and hold a couple hands as I cry.
How pathetic I could be?
How tragic could I be?

Crippling fear of the end turns,
Folds over, crushes my free will,
What I want could get me…****.

I’M GONNA ******* DIE ?

ONE DAY             OH ****             ONE DAY

ONE DAY.

I’LL KEEL OVER AND DIE,
STOP IT BEFORE IT HAPPENS,
TIME TRAVEL, DESTROY TIMELINES.

ONE DAY             OH ****             ONE DAY

ONE DAY.

I’LL MEET A TENDER,
MAYBE WRATHFUL DEITY.

WORSE YET,
BE CURSED INTO NOTHINGNESS.

Crippling fear of every step I take,
Like a child learning how to walk,
I’ll fold over, crush my own free will,
What I want will get me killed.

Daydreaming
Skyler M Sep 2018
Flying somewhere far away,
Purple eyes are on the moon,
Christmas decorations floating away,
I am on a stage,
Drifting and singing my songs,
Guitar in hand as I sing it all out.

All I can hear is the crowd,
All I can see is the white corner,
All I can feel is the guitar in my arms.

Xanax drifts into my gaping jaws,
Am I just a skeleton?
Cause I see the pill again,
Cotton candy clouds,
Look like they were dyed with red,
Ascending through the classroom,
Into the eye-filled moon.

All I can hear is the chatter of teens,
All I can see is the teacher,
All I can feel is the tapping of my foot.

Back again.
I’m back again.

Scream
Skyler M Dec 2017
I'm fighting,
Fighting for something,
Underneath a black moon,
Uneventful and lost.
I scream.
For a name, a face to hold myself by.
But my arms resist,
falling to the floor.
Unsuccessful scars,
reminders of what I never wanted to do, to be.
I fight for something,
something I can stand upon,
and say, "I don't care if you don't show yourself to me."
I scream.
Inside my head,
I'm dead, ripping myself apart.
My heart only beats for the dreams that I made.
I scream,
"**** you."
"**** me."
"**** life."

All that I can figure out is nothing makes sense,
I end up resorting to burying myself in the sand,
There's a chance that I am nothing more than a child,

Empty and red from the eons of dread,
You're no better than me, stop pretending.

Waves of memories inside my palm,
You were a friend but I wanted more,
Turned out you did as well,
Wheels turn inside my head,
Water keeps my lips from drying up,
I wish that you had told me sooner.

You were scared so I understand,
You're not perfect and neither am I,
So rest against the shore, I forgive you,
You were good to me always,
She held the water above your head,
Never let you leave, silently.

We both fell so far those months,
The tide kept coming up,
Keep us below the water and we'll drown,
I am so proud of you,
You made it through the pain,
Got the water above your head and ran away.

Of course, I forgive you,
Let's catch up and go to the beach,
Summer's been great how about you?
I hope we see each other again,
I hope we see each other again.

Not the hope he gave,
Not the happiness he spread,
To his favorite color,

How much they love his tragedy,
And his favorite color,

You're no saint but you have me caught in your halo,
So won't you let me into your heart.

Called it a tomb,
Called it a home,
Out of hopelessness,

That I was mature:

For a better life that doesn't haste,
Then, maybe I wouldn't feel like a waste,

I fight for my life,
Every night.
I'll never tell my friends,
Of what I did last night.
The creatures on my crumbling frame,
Tell me that I made it again.

But I don't know whether,
to smile or cry.
Cause the battle rages on,
Every night.
I'm parting my skin,
To see what I can find.
Maybe I will see,
An ounce of light.

I fight for my life,
Every night.
The echos of my friends,
Who've told me they were there for me.
I'm losing my vision,
As of today.
The sun rose but my heart,
Doesn't want to beat.

My intention,
has been shackled.
And the demons,
They like to scream.
That I am better off dead,
Every night.
So I take my time,
Send a prayer to someone I don't believe in.
So I take my time,
Process my suicidal thoughts.
So I take my time,
To fall asleep.

The Wolf Mask

Pour some acid into those eyes,
It's time to forage for souls tonight,
Don the wolf mask by your side,
Oh, Warren my boy, you've made it thus far.

Walk through graveyards and find your mind,
For it's as empty as your very own coffin,
Hide behind trees and bright green bushes,
The ghost boy is haunting 'bout this time.

His hollow dark eyes and shallow sunken chest,
The suit on his frail skin is much too large,
Ghost boy can't be bother to trip to a tailor,
Just be glad you can't see what's underneath.

For the dark hollow eyes are a mask of disguise,
And the darkness of the suit holes scares even the ebony of the sky,
Don't doubt his name- and don't scout his dens,
Warren, I must say, you're not as safe as you were anymore.

Don the leather coat that sits near the stone,
You've got to find home,
For ghost boy has ways to make you jump right out of your grotesque little mask,
He doesn't want friends,
Only something to feed.

Pour some acid into those eyes,
It's time to forage for souls tonight,
Don the wolf mask by your side,
Oh, Warren my boy, you've made it thus far.
Skyler M Sep 2018
Walking- away in the rain,
I'm thinking- that it's so late,
The clock's struck one- I'm falling down,
Under the streetlights- stars that I can barely see.
I don't like- the town lights anymore,
When I'm trapped- in my head,
I can't see- stars as clearly,
So get those lights off- I can send more unanswered prayers,
Despite my disbelief.

Ease my breath,
Release my neck,
I need to run to the forest,
Let me see the stars again.

Unstable
Skyler M Mar 2022
I feel unstable,
Like a fairytale,
Walking home,
Driving home,
Flying home,
On my own.

Reservations
Skyler M Aug 2024
Hold your reservations,
For just a while longer,
I know you see I'm crumbling,
And you know there's nothing you can do,
Just hold on a little longer.

I'm slowly seeing colors,
Getting some more sober,
Will it finally be over,
Once I find my home and hunker?

Creeping up behind me,
Holding it over my head,
What else should it possibly be?
Where could have I been lead?
If not for the searing fire under my skin?

I'm slowly seeing colors,
Getting less and less sober,
Will it finally be over,
Once I find my home and hunker?

If I'm wild, If I'm uncontrollable,
Then I'm untouchable,
Don't you ******* touch me,
You sickly mangy hog,
I am nothing but god,
No I swear, I'm above it all,
I am, I promise, I beg,
Stop prying, stop vying,
I'm lost, I am, I beg,
Please call for the cops,
They'll shoot me,
Shoot me dead before you enter.

I'm slowly losing visibility,
Getting much less sober,
It'll never be over,
I'll never find a home outside my pretty head.

Hold your reservations,
For just a while longer,
I know you see I'm crumbling,
And you know there's nothing you can do,
Just hold on a little longer,
I'm finding ways to crack walls,
Taking chisels and hammers,
Please, hold on somewhat longer.
Nothing like letting someone into your inner world but getting there, getting to that point is terrifying.

Clarity, Please
Skyler M Feb 2018
Now you're gone,
Maybe I should be too,
I asked you so many times what you see in me,
And you told me that I was kind, fun, and the best friend you've ever had.
Then you suddenly turned and you left,
Leaving me here, on the ground, with a razor in my hand.

The world doesn't seem as bright as it used to be,
Now I feel the pressure is breaking in and tumbling down,
Down the staircase where I now reside, in the basement.
The world dims out and I feel it's time for me to say goodbye.

I asked God for forgiveness, even though I don't wanna believe.
I asked Lucifer for mercy. even thought I don't wanna believe.
I asked her for some clarity, even though I might not like the answer.

Long Lost Son
Skyler M Sep 2018
Pouring buckets of acid liquid from the golden sky,
Contrasting colors fade my killjoy heart,
No need for sympathy or wicker seas,
Veering through black rain in a stolen frame,
The voice in my head tells me I'm no longer alive,
Terrifying, melding, my world's colliding with suicide.

Long lost son, waiting for the golden sky to part it's acid liquid.

Killjoy heart found in a ditch, under the rainbow stars,
Throwing sympathy into dried up seas,
Crashed my frame and I'm collecting raindrops,
I know for sure that I'm no longer alive, stop lying,
Already pulled the trigger but I wish I wasn't speaking figuratively.

Long lost son, waiting for the golden sky to part it's acid liquid,
Long lost son, waiting for the golden sky to speak it's tears,
Long lost son, waiting for the golden sky to leave me alone.

The House on the Cliff
Skyler M Oct 2017
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.

Dented and Bent
Skyler M Jan 2019
Tire tracks in my legs,
Dented them and bent them,
Back to the road I go,
I'm so happy,
I'm so happy.

Dear, ghostz,
Don't be sad now,
I'm kinda okay but I'll haunt you,
You won't be lonely any longer,
Not as long as I'm hanging out.

Headphones on my ears,
Danced to them and vented them,
This beat won't let me go,
I'm so happy,
I'm so happy.

Dipping into melted snow,
I'm calming down after a storm,
Untangling the wires around my body,
There comes a day when I'll understand what it means to have purpose,
But for now...

Fire licking at my heart,
Shaping and changing it's rhythm,
Making me sprint away,
I'm so happy,
I'm so happy.

If I Could Please?
Skyler M Nov 2017
If I could please,
Concern myself with you,
Cause today you're not looking all too well,
And though that only may be me.

I can,
See it in your eyes,
That flash of a singular dying fire,
Struggling to stay aloft in this much to maze-like house.

If you could please,
Let me, wrap my arms around you,
Cause I'll protect you from all those demons,
And though that may only be me that sees.

You are dying...

Suicide Hounds
Skyler M Sep 2021
There's a call coming through,
It's reflecting off of the drops of dew,
Telling me it's right time for a cleaning crew,
Cause my head is best killed and grown anew.

*******, label me a night owl,
Cause these bedtime blues are fowl,
The suicide hounds are on the prowl,
And I'm,
Oh ****,
Yes I'm,
In their line of sight.

The phone's ringing off of the ******* hook,
Warning me, sending a cautionary tale, well look-
In my closet, there's a man, he has a silly book,
The stories all seem to spell my demise, he's a crook!

*******, label me a night owl,
Cause these bedtime blues are fowl,
The suicide hounds are on the prowl,
And I'm,
Oh ****,
Yes I'm,
In their line of sight.

Lock up the weapons,
Or else I'll be preppin',
At midnight I might be steppin',
To the closet where I met him,
And I'll pray to Mister Hades,
To give me a fate better than it.

*******, label me a night owl,
Cause these bedtime blues are fowl,
The suicide hounds are on the prowl,
And I'm,
Oh ****,
Yes I'm,
In their line of sight.

Atomic Synchronicity
Skyler M Jul 2024
Pockmarked arms,
Sound off alarms,
Stargazing farms,
Dependent on charms.

Unrealized power,
Atomic shower,
The flavor's sour,
Everybody had better cower!

I dont give a ****,
By stupid, you've been struck,
As you run amok,
Running over kids with your truck.

Unrealized power,
Atomic shower,
The flavor's sour,
Everybody duck and cower!

Planted marigold at the doorstep,
There's blood left in your stead,
It's all you've ever been fed,
I think you're out of your depth.

Hats off,
Heads down,
Gather round,
Pray for the sound,
Pray for the sound,
Pray we'll all be found.

Ballroom to Dance In!
Skyler M Jun 2021
Rolling in an empty ballroom,
Dressed up tight,
Black slacks and blue tie,
All the windows are boarded up,
The floor is littered with glass shards,
Wood planks and dead bugs,
I think I saw a couple ****** teeth too.

It's foreign. (Can't handle this!)
It's foreign. (Can't handle this!)
I'll scream. (Too many eyes watching me!)
I'll scream. (Too many eyes watching me!)

Free-floating cobwebs from the chandelier,
Ripped jacket and lost shoes,
This glass is really hurting me too,
Don't know what I'm hunting for,
Spiders crawl into the holes in the floor,
And also into the rips in my blazer.

It's foreign. (Hello! Are you there?)
It's foreign. (Come down to earth!)
I'll scream.(You're being dramatic.)
I'll scream. (Just get more sleep!)

It's foreign.  (Can't handle this!)
It's foreign. (Can't handle this!)

This dread. (Someone's outside?!)
This dread. (My room isn't safe!)

I'm dead?! (He loves me more than ever now!)
I'm dead?! (I let him in)

Lovesick
Skyler M Jan 2018
I thought I’d be okay,
I thought it was gone,
The feeling in the pit of my stomach raged on,
I want to puke my guts out because of you,
But not because I hate you,
But because I love you.

Is this lovesickness? I can’t have you, that’s okay.
But maybe you hate me and that’s what’s getting to my head.
I want you to know that I only want the best for you,
I’m just losing my mind down the toilet.

Spending hours on end thinking about your response,
I know I’m selfish and pathetic as hell,
The truth is killing my bones,
But I don’t expect anything back because I’m perfectly content as it is, as we are.

Is this lovesickness? I can’t have you, that’s okay.
But maybe you hate me and that’s what’s getting to my head.
I want you to know that I only want the best for you,
I’m just losing my mind down the toilet.
