Twist and contort my voice into something unrecognizable,
So I can feel something other than my own self-destruction.
A fortnight or two until I'm totally blue,
Water cast to fire just to satiate his primal desire.

I've got not much to walk for,
Nothing to run for,
Nothing to scream for,
It's all just a chore.

Carry me down my own obsidian path,
Leave you barefoot to slip and bleed.
Only then you'll see what it feels to be me,
Maybe then you'll hold me closer and tighter than before.

I've got not much to walk for,
Nothing to run for,
Nothing to scream for,
It's all just a chore.

Let me watch the sun drown in the shimmering lake,
Why do you always block the beautiful view?
Doesn't it make sense that I have stopped respecting you,
For all that you do, For all that you say,
How is it any stretch to feel so enraged.
Skyler M Nov 2017
Fingers curled in that,
Poison laced,
Golden hair.

You're keeping back,
All of the lies,
That she holds inside.

She's breaking you apart,
Killing you from the inside,
Poisoning your bones.

Messaged me up at three am,
Told me you'd be leaving her,
The next morning she's pulled you back.

I'm watching all of this go down,
Hating every moment,
Toxin drips down your spine.

You puked out everything you ever had,
To keep holding onto her black hand,
Your eyes are distant now.

Your beat tells you,
You can't deny,
The love you hold onto.

Your nerves tell you,
Maybe you're just trying to hide,
From her back-stabbing plan.
Skyler M Jul 2018
Sink your teeth into my shoulder,
I don't care if you are poison,
I need you more than anything,
You can **** me off,
Bury my heart in the middle of a crossroads.

Hand me your soul,
I'll take good care of it,
I won't ever set it on the ***** table,
It'll always be in the smallest pocket of my backpack.

The light shines through the locked door,
I know that you are behind me,
Your eyes boring into my back,
Slip me back into my slumber.

I found that you aren't so nice,
Realizing that you were just toxin,
Blinding my vision, why,
Are you so proud?
Skyler M Nov 2024
How's this feeling still so foreign?
I've trekked this, footprints sunk into soil,
Mud curling around dusty boots,
******* them down into the depths.

I'd hate to reiterate it once again,
We fell apart for a reason or two,
Maybe this is my own punishment,
For falling in love but hating the closeness.

Is this enveloping light natural?
Will it sit on faded skin or seep into bones?
It feels like I've started over again,
Please forgive me if I can't hold the sun.

I'd hate to reiterate it once again,
We fell apart for a reason or two,
Maybe this is my own punishment,
For falling in love but hating the closeness.

It's nothing, nevermind.
It's better if I stay inside,
Count my wrist lines,
Tell everyone I'm alive.
Skyler M Jan 2022
We were kids, two empty heads,
Yet full at the heart, dropping pieces of our souls,
At each other's doorsteps, awaiting a better place to meet.
Now, we're still kids, just a few years ahead,
Still young at heart, I can't let go of your leftovers,
I'm at your doorstep, awaiting my friend and maybe,
A partner.
Skyler M Oct 2019
Arms out against the cold,
Wind is blowing, I'm told,
"Possibility becomes reality."
I just wanna run down the town,
Look at the seeds that you have sown.

The seats you have left untouched,
Are feeling like you were unjust,
To the friends you have lost,
Sing that song of Home,
It'll forgive you for Rome.
Skyler M May 2019
I just wanna settle down,
Not in a town,
But in a throne,
With a crown,
No such thing as a frown when I'm here,
Yet there's such a thing as fear,
What I hear by my ear could possibly be tears.

I'm a ******* stupid dreamer,
Listen to me because I'm getting meaner,
This isn't my demeanor either,
I'm just a ***** mouth-breather.

Frustrated because I'm not there,
Watch as the air gets heavier,
My legs bare of flesh,
I'm a fresh threat,
of a system of mass warfare.

I'm not a king and that's a problem,
Set up those marksmen and watchmen,
postmortem clever little criminal.
Skyler M Feb 2018
Make it pour,
Make it pour,
Make it pour,
Sweep me into the door,
Make it pour,
Make it pour,
Make it pour,
Drown me in more,
Make it pour,
Make it pour,
Make it pour,
I’ve made it to the shore,
Make it fall onto my heart.
Skyler M Sep 2022
There's a smile in every picture of us,
Does that explain away the pain?
Does it excuse the shouting and fighting?
We were happy a few times,
But those few times,
Are outweighed by the crimes.
Skyler M Apr 2022
I’m a ***** little birdy
You groom my feathers till I’m flirty,
It’s funny cause you’re thirty
Keep telling me I’m “Purdy”
Just so mature
Just so mature
So mature, yes sir!

Just ***** inside and ***** outside,
It’s not mud ill truthfully confide,
Got caught, spider trap, cause you weren’t doing time,
Vampire bat bit my neck I can’t feel any limb of mine,
Tiny body of bones and red fruit punch liquid, oh yeah, you’re super pure, likewise!
Now I’ll show you something,
Yeah, I’ll ******* show you loving!

I’m a ***** little birdy
You groom my feathers till I’m flirty,
It’s funny cause you’re thirty
Keep telling me I’m “Purdy”
Just so mature
Just so mature
So mature, yes sir!

If I could. Oh, if I could.
Take my time, you stay tied,
Black chair, plastic sheets,
Floor to ceiling I’ll change the tide,
By the end I’ll bleed you dry,
Just for that, I’d pay the price.
why the **** do men
Skyler M Jan 2018
When my head is empty and there’s nowhere I can hide.
Look at what I’ve done to you.
I’m sorry about my mistakes,
Just know that I have exposed myself.

Tell me pretty lies about how you feel,
Maybe I’ll feel better another day

Tell me pretty lies about what you think,
Maybe I’ll stop puking another day

I know I’ve done something bad,
I know our lives are on the line,
And it’s all my fault but she won’t see the forest for the trees.

Tell me pretty lies and punch me in the face,
I’ll say I love you and wake another day.

Tell me pretty lies and feed me common slurs,
I’ll just leave my heart at the door for another time.
Skyler M Feb 2018
You are so sure,
That you hold the key to unlock the meaning,
To your life and everything in the clouds,
I encourage you to fly away into your own body,
The stronger you believe yourself to be, that'll be how strong you'll become.

Tell me pretty sir,
What’s your preferred name,
They all call you James,
But you wanna be a nightmare or a night-scare.

They all hold you back but I'm here to tell you,
You're the sky itself so grab a hold of the lightning and the rain,
You have everything under your own mind,
Who cares if they take away the clouds,
The time has come for you to breath in plumes of life.

Tell me pretty sir,
What’s your preferred name,
They all call you James,
But you wanna be a nightmare or a night-scare.
Skyler M Dec 2018
It's been raining,
But that's okay cause I'm following close behind,
The flood goes up to my knees,
It only goes up to your toes though,
How and why are you able to walk like that?
After years of flooding I guess I've learned,
That giving up is easier then taking the lead,
Though now you seem to be willing,
Holding me up by the wrist and,
Wrapping me up in black sand.

Hello my dear, I've been missing you,
Hope I see you tonight,
But will our mothers let us stay?
Well it's hard to say.

It's been snowing,
A storm is on it's way,
One that will cover me up,
Becoming my new tomb,
But if you're still willing,
Will you dig me up and out,
I'll hold you gratefully, gracefully,
Between the chorus and choirs,
Smiling white wolves come down,
From mountains above staircases,
You're still here so I'm not afraid.

Hello my dear, I've been missing you,
Hope I see you tonight,
But will our mothers let us stay?
Well it's hard to say.
Skyler M Nov 2017
I found myself on the edge of your vision,
I've fallen into something much bigger than myself,
Taken a bite onto something that I can't control,
It's my love for you and I'm ripping the flesh off of my body.

Realizing I've lost my heart,
I should've kept my distance,
You're an animal and I'm the prey,
Common sense don't mean much when you're around.

You're the one I need now,
In the eternity of night,
If I leave with no warning,
Just know that I'll be back.

Realizing I've lost my eyes,
I've tried to keep my distance,
You're the animal and I'm the prey,
Common sense comes crashing down when you're around.
Skyler M Jun 2021
Idyllic families
Childhood prodigies
Standards set so high
An altitude they cannot fly.

P-R-O-D-I-G-Y!

High School rolls in,
For some reason they cannot win,
Lost faith in the Father,
Take those kids through slaughter.

P-R-O-D-I-G-Y!

Every word becomes a drone,
They begin taking the phone,
It doesn’t change anything,
So now they’re questioning.
“Do you respect me?”

P-R-O-D-I-G-Y!

“Not since you made me bleed”
It’s rhetorical, they don’t care.
They’re projecting, old dreams, it’s not fair.

P-R-O-D-I-G-Y!

Fast track all the way to graduation,
Barely made it with a lil medication.
Standards in the sky,
Rest In Peace, fly high.
Skyler M Jun 2023
All of my teeth are rotting and falling out my mouth,
The blood trails on down the corner of my smile,
There's a trickle of a burn rolling down my throat,
Could it be that I flayed and chiseled my enamel,
Away?

A prophecy states I'm doomed,
I've read it and it's dreaded end,
As the truth loomed overhead,
I found solace in eating the dead.

My fingernails are all bitten down,
Down to the bed that I laid into the ground,
I'm friends with the bandages that curl around,
I don't care what I've done so just keep me bound.
Skyler M Aug 2018
Let's count all of my friends,
And see how many are left,
It's okay cause I'm not afraid,
I don't mind being alone,
Cause I've convinced myself that I don't need them to keep on going.

If you find me on the floor,
Keep the door open a crack,
I want to see what's happening,
Cause I am proud of them all.

I know that they all tried their best,
I am happy to say that cause,
Every day my heart beats when I know,
That they will grow,
That I know.

If you find me on the floor,
Keep the door open a crack,
I want to see what's happening,
Cause I am proud of them all.
Skyler M Dec 2020
Show me where I began,
Now show me where I end,
I can't feel anything but the breathing,
It's rolling over my own shoulders,
Blades penetrate my ****** eyes.

Up down, round my stem,
Carve me up, carve me out,
In, out, scoop my guts,
Carve me up, carve me out.

I'm sitting on an abandoned fender,
Out on your front porch, I'm bending.
You're letting me see what it means to be,
All up inside all the misery that you feel inside,
Throw me away when my time comes nigh.
Skyler M Apr 2018
If I could be with you tonight,
I'd hold you close and talk you to sleep,
Make sure your light never fades into black,
Cause I know you've already gone,
Yet I can't help but imagine you here.

If I could be with you tonight,
I would walk with you all the way home,
Take my time and listen to your struggles,
Keep my hand in yours until night fades to morning,
Cause I know you've already gone,
Yet I can't help but imagine you here.

If I could be here with you tonight,
We would take flight and away,
Into quiet nights when you were here,
Now it's all torn down and I say,
"Yet, I can't help but imagine you here."
Skyler M Jan 2018
I fall to you,
Rain comes to me,
My body’s laying on the cold hard floor,
And I know deep inside that I’ve lost my plight,
I know you’re waiting for me, Lord,
But I don’t wanna do this anymore.

Fighting battles against who I should believe and who I wanna be,
I’m at war with my core,
I hope you understand that I’m lost as ever,
Now pour onto me to keep me pleading.

Selfish crimes are taking my vision,
I feel your breath in the air I breath but you’re gone from my dream and I’m struggling to believe,
I do believe that you understand what I mean,
Now leave me here to die nine times before I pick myself up and cry again.
Skyler M Sep 2018
Rain falls so often where I stay to live,
So I walk outside and talk to the sky,
Contriving my words so that I might be lying,
To myself and the dark grey sky beyond.

Sometimes I forget that towns like mine bring creatures into our hears,
Rainfall in Hometown,
Bringing about ghouls I could never face,
And the homes that turn into beasts to roam every single night.

Then I lay down on the wet grass and pick at the greens,
In worry, in thought, so distraught, that I'm in this disarray,
Distraught, that I taught the thoughts to flock to death and distress,
My hands are cold and wet with raindrops that I like to call teardrops,
I talk to myself and the dark grey sky beyond,

Sometimes I forget that towns like mine bring creatures into our hears,
Rainfall in Hometown,
Bringing about ghouls I could never face,
And the homes that turn into beasts that roam every single night.


Drops falling into my eyes so that I can see a little clearer the next day,
The only problem is that colors shift and warp through my view,
Capturing my pupil's time,
Grasping onto the grass as I start sinking into the rainbow raindrops,
Contrasting colors faded my killjoy, rebel heart.

Terrifying, melding, my world's colliding,
I'm a long lost son, waiting for the pale sky to part it's clouds,
So that maybe I can find the answer or the meaning to my life,
Opening my chest,
I talk to myself and the dark grey sky beyond.

Skyler M Aug 2024
When sitting within the room where I was reborn,
I cannot tell if the fumes that I exhale are toxic,
When I'm so afraid for anyone to know me,
For what if they find out I'm a tyrant before I do?

Sitting in a crowded room with the lights,
Bearing down on my shoulders and tongue,
Manage the twisting shame through trials,
I am a twisted beast full of sin and carnage.

I am a twisted beast full of sin and carnage,
A dictator pleading with deities for forgiveness,
Ravage the next night with vicious vices,
I am nothing more than a young and dumb kid.

Sitting in a crowded room with the lights,
Bearing down on my shoulders and tongue,
Manage the twisting shame through trials,
I wish I was confident in my impoverished crimes.

Don't look my way, no, cause I'll feel it,
Bitterness that crawls into my throat-

Is it that I'm a bad dog?
Am I dog trained to protect myself?
Or am I a stray yearning for a home?
Can I follow someone home and curl into their lap?
Can I lick my own wounds and share them carefully?
Or will my hackles begin to raise as my lip curls?
Or will I turn to bite and tear at the hand's flesh?

Sitting in a crowded room with the limelights,
Bearing down on my shoulders and tongue,
Manage the twisting shame through trials,
I am a twisted beast full of sin and carnage.

I am as I was raised to be.
Skyler M Oct 2024
Hands travel down,
Find a secluded vein,
Pick and tear at it,
Pick and pick,
Tear and tear,
Pick and tear at it.

Wrists twist to this,
Uncomfortable conclusions,
Rewarded with pain,
Rewarded it,
Rewarded the pain,
Rewarded it.

Arms contort anxious,
Bones snap directionless,
Cracking insufficiently,
Cracking it all harder,
Insufficient at it all,
Cracking insufficiently,
Insufficient at it all.

Wake up in a house full of smoke,
Hoarded all the blasphemy in the world,
So now it all concludes and burns,
In a heart-stopping moment of-
That indomitable reflection in the mirror,
It burns around a rare ivory frame,
Poached for the sake of the richness,
Love the syncopate better next time.

Hands travel down,
Find a secluded vein,
Pick and tear at it,
Pick and pick,
Tear and tear,
Pick and tear at it.
Pick and tear,
Pick and pick,
Tear and tear.

Unforgiving skin,
Unforgiving bones,
Unforgiving hands,
Unforgiving ends.
Skyler M Apr 2023
Well, here we go again.
The nights come to an end,
My eyes haven't closed,
Not a single wink of sleep,
For me.

A madman playing games,
With his own fragile mind,
Do you think he cares?
Well, I know he doesn't!
So, you shouldn't care either.

The moon plays with his nightlife,
The sun just loves to pry,
Like a couple hounds that'd tear him up,
It's looking rather dire.

Sure, you could yell and cry,
That he's hurting his own head,
Well, ****, he knows, so just go,
He'll blow you off and kiss your mom,
Then go **** your dad,
What?

Delerium begins to set in,
I think it was always there,
It's easier to hide otherwise,
So excuse him while he tries.
yeah. 6am and no sleep? God give me some fukin sleep, would ya' pal?
Skyler M Feb 2022
There are rats in my basement,
Crawling through cracks in the pavement,
I can hear their chatter, how they crave it,
Their hollow skins soon to cave in.

Join me and rejoice,
He will give a new vice,
One to see all the putrid sights,
We are all living blights.
Skyler M Oct 2017
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.
Skyler M Feb 2019
Things are killing me and tearing me up,
Inside out,
Guts to eyes,
Wreck my vibe in discordant nights,
I’m afraid that I’ll loose control and take back my tar black crown.

I’m the ruler of a tainted empire,
I’m the saint that your mother warned you of,
I’ll cut you down and string you up along the forest paths.

I won’t cross my fingers cause I’m not scared to die,
Breaking bones,
Come on home,
I’ll hold you down and bruise your back,
You’re the victim of God tonight.

I’m the ruler of a tainted empire,
I’m the saint that your mother warned you of,
I’ll cut you down and string you up along the forest paths.

I’m just your average boy,
Black fingers and black roses,
Corrupted carnage carriages,
Scared for your family are you now?
I’ve the lord of your life,
Now kneel before I make you, my darlings...
Skyler M Oct 2021
What if there’s nothing to look forward to?
A concert or two to keep me going.
And through the winter I might break.
This time, I don’t want to be turned in.
The hospital hasn’t done much for me.

Now I fall through bed-sheets,
Figuring out the meaning to living,
A pretentious ******* with no right,
What I'd do to become everything I want.

In the meantime,
Give me reasons to survive at bare minimum,
Holding only a grain of sand,
While everyone else seems to hold more.

Now I fall through bed-sheets,
Figuring out the meaning to living,
A pretentious ******* with no right,
What I'd do to become everything I want.
Skyler M Jul 2023
The left-over warmth from the burning fire,
Embers settle into the charred earth,
In the tender decay of the dying hearth,
They say that I'll soon begin to tire,
But I tell 'em that I'm just getting started.

Until I need to crumble,
I'll stay in your prefrontal,
Until I get into trouble,
I'll let the thunder rumble.
Skyler M Sep 2021
Purple pools with floating jewels,
A merciful Goddess on a throne,
Bountiful treasure in the water,
Do you dare to tread inside it?

Remedy me,
I'm ready,
The tide is steady,
Remedy me.

Electric blue birds flew,
To the east towards the hues,
A redemption just to rule,
You'll rue the day you let Her die too.

Remedy me,
I'm ready,
The tide is steady,
Remedy me.

Pink sheets on ****** beds,
Walls are painted with reds,
Satin duvets are all shed,
She loves to dance with the dead.

Remedy me,
Remedy me,
Remedy me,
I'm ready.
What would I give,
Just to keep you close,
I hope I stay close,
To your inner world.

Will you remember?
Remember tonight,
Remember yesterday,
Do you recall with fondness?

Do I overestimate your conscious?
Does the voice appreciate,
Tell you to take a moment,
Take snapshots of the split seconds.

Will you remember?
Remember tonight,
Remember yesterday,
Do you recall with fondness?

It's not that deep,
Let's just be kings,
Lose a couple games,
What's the latest in your world?
I love being an older brother.
Skyler M Mar 2022
"Come home"
"Come home"
"Come home!" she begged me so.

"I won't"
"I won't"
"I won't!" I told her so.

"You're mold"
"You're mold"
"You're mold!" he's shouted at me so.

"I'm already home,
At a place that I can fold,
Breathe without a head cold,
Where I own all my clothes,
Won't come back 'til he's been remold."
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.
Skyler M Aug 2018
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.
Skyler M Sep 2018
I suddenly remember why,
I hated my own life,
Why do I have to go through this strife,
It feels like I'm being stabbed with a knife,
If this is what makes me a better person then I don't want it.

"Ma'am"
"She's-"
"Her-"
******* all,
Think right, say something,
Correct their words,
But I cannot without feeling the fear,
It wells up inside my chest,
Like a scream waiting to happen.

If I have to go through this everyday again,
I have a feeling Wool Kid just might be revived,
And nobody wants him back.

"Ma'am"
"She's-"
"Her-"
******* my name,
And burn my face,
Take out my chest,
and lay me in a grave.

Respect me won't you?
It's not that hard,
I don't want to be mad
Skyler M Feb 2023
And then the earth told me she loved me,
So I rested my remains within her,
For eternity to be in her peaceful company,
Holding her hand in perfect harmony.
Skyler M Feb 2018
Underneath the bridge and into the misty fog,
I will search for your soul that you lost so long ago,
Time passes and I can hardly remember where I came from,
The path fades from my memory and I'll dig in the ground to find a trace of home,
Your soul won't be found by mortal hands like mine,
So I'll rest on the dirt and tear my hair out of it's roots,
So frustrating how this time I'm wasting as I know your soul is waiting in the undergrowth.

You're so cold
Can you see?
That I wish for no more pain and loss of rain,
So send me down, on my way, to find your body,
Resting away.

Flashing strobes blind me while I desperately plead that you give me one more chance for the fifth time,
On time, that's all, I'll bring your breaking mortal body to your soul,
Just don't leave me alone,
Cause I'm petrified of losing my life,
To my own *****, ***** deeds.

You're so cold
Can you see?
That I wish for no more pain and loss of rain,
So send me down, on my way, to find your body,
Resting away.
Skyler M Feb 2019
Lead me to hedges instead of ledges,
I'll take it in slow to rest my bow,
Upon wooded trees will be me.

I was torn and forlorn that I was born,
Why I was so twisted as they insisted,
That I must conform to not transform,
A better person that was inside for sometime.
Skyler M Jun 2019
Revolve songs
resonance, emotion, rhythm
Irregular beat
singing, exposed, beauty,
Branded music,
stuck, insomniac, listen.
Skyler M May 2019
Am I really that gullible,
or are you just that delectable,
Those ******* eyes, you're just so lovable,
I feel so untouchable with you by my side.

You're my ride or die,
You're my number one high,
Don't ask me why,
Cause I won't reply.

******* up little pistol,
You're not so simple,
Your hand's a handle,
Let's shoot to the route of hopefulness.

I am made up of my right brain,
The creativity won't stop pouring out,
And it keeps me up at night.

Cause I don't have the skill,
To pull off all the antics,
That I dream to be.

So I keep myself under control,
I don't think about anything but the voices in my head,
Never acknowledge that they might be right,
Cause it just might get me killed.

There's a fable that's unstable,
Lay the pages on the table,
You will see the peeling label,
The Bible’s righteous playbill.

Did you forget that nights like this bring creatures into our hearts,
They sink into our skin and bleed through our frames,
Giving us nothing to live for.

Rainfall in hometown,
Brings about ghouls I could never describe,
The homes turn into beasts that roam every single night.

Don't you make me laugh,
I just wanna be sad,
Your smile is looking bad,
Drop dead and sink instead.

Sometimes I fear that dad is dead,
Broken down and turned out mad,
***-luck as the grand-dad fad,
Fresh out of luck aren't ya'?

Am I slowly giving in to those thoughts,
The ones that urge me to run,
Like running's the only solution,
Run as fast as I can as far as I can,
Away from the routine habits,
That inhabit my life every single day,
He's coming for me, He's coming for me now.

I don't feel safe,
Not when he's after me,
My bones crumble under the weight,
I need to run,
Let me run.

Please don't remind me how long I've got until I wake up,
I'm sorry to all my family and my friends,
Days are longer again but for all the wrong reasons,
Am I sick?
I'm getting sick.

I don't feel safe,
Not when he's after me,
My bones crumble under the weight,
I need to run,
Let me run.

I see the corpses of the ones I once loved,
At this moment, on this roof, I stand alone,
I wish that I could relive this life,
I feel like a ticking time-bomb,
Cause one day I'll fall apart up here.

But when I see you cry,
I know I need to give you everything,
It powers me on my rusted remains.

When the roof begins to crumble away,
And the interior metal shows itself,
I'm reminded of why everything could die,
In place, in replacement of everything I hold dear,
To me, a song to read, a song to sing, is a song to believe,
We'll live forever.

But when I see you cry,
I know I need to give you everything,
It powers me on my rusted remains.

Unfold me from under blankets,
I feel safe there,
Where my eyes see nothing but the reflection of the light from the window,
And I'll you when I'm feeling less frightened,
I'll tell you what's bold and what's italicized.
Around my bed are the words of encouragement and possibly death,
I can hardly hear them from under the covers.

The only profound thing I see is the reflection of my glass eyes,
Glossing over with fog that seems to be bold.
Spider web crack in the corners that appear to be italics,
So much water streaming downwards to blind me,
Intense words call my name through song and strong people,
Keep the covers over my head, don't let the crimes inside cause I'm ashamed.

Down falls our heads and hands,
Through alternate realities,
While pretending to be okay,
Everything just begins to fall apart here.

Same breathing tone,
Same foreground noise,
Same backyard burial,
Same hounded home.

Kitchen sink washes away my discolored eyes,
The doubt that I'd left inside of them,
Grind them up into paint,
To smear over the walls of my bedroom.

Same breathing tone,
Same foreground noise,
Same backyard burial,
Same hounded home.

There's something peeking through my window,
On the third floor of the building,
I can feel it's breath against the window,
I begin to feel the fear,
Rise up into my throat.
Quickly I disintegrate into the tiny grains of sand,
that litter my dark bedroom floor,
My frame is shrinking and I’m sinking,
Oh so patiently,
Into the billions of grains of sand,
I find something stuck inside the grains,
There's a bottle in the sand and it's sealed beyond opening,
When I try to pop the cap it laps through time and I'm back on the floor inside on my bathroom floor,
The blood won't stop when I plead it to,
Miles of bottles and I keep picking the wrong one,
My eyes play tricks on me to make believe that I can see the end of the earth,
My hopes arise but the cap screws itself back on.
And I'm gone.
