I'm not supposed
To want to kiss your lips
& make sure happiness
Finds it's way to your day.
Giving you romance tips
Between my acid trips
& pretending
It's all okay.
Because it's wrong.
I'm not right.
And now I'm off
On a different flight
Descending
Burning
Rotting in hell.
& I don't know
If you could tell
But I'm pushing up daisies
Maybe I'm crazy
Just because I want you
To call me your baby

hard pitter-patters
of drops on the window
turn into palpitations

water to my hip
soaked and cold
yet i'm smiling wide

now to my neck
paralyzed and numb
happy and relaxed
for the things that will come

no sign of surface
deep and blue
the painted colors
are pictures of you

i'm drowning now
palpitations on low
this is exactly the way
i wanted to go

Nothing hurts more than distance
& I can feel it in your stare
the stale air that now separates
our hearts

Maybe its me
& its all my fault
I halt my feelings
for no reason at all

There's bitter sadness in my bones
& the tones of your laugh
no longer light the strings
of fuses in my heart

I'm soggy and damp
& became champ
of shutting out those
that mean the most to me

Matches no longer strike
& I hike to feel
to feel something
anything at all

I need to hang to dry
& learn why
my soul has folded
in upon itself
You must know I love you

Society's hot breath whispers its ugly secret

"You're not good enough"
It chants
Like claws to the skin
It rips up the past
Resurfaces old sin

"Forget the good, you've wasted away"
It feeds the demons
You've tried so hard to forget
But it's not that easy
You can't forget yet

"No love for the ugly, the ******, the poor"
It lies
It's way right into your soul
Digging up the dirt
That once filled the black hole

Have a headache?
Take a Pill.
Sore throat?
Take a pill.
If you can't heal yourself,
The pill surely will.

Feeling sad?
Take a pill.
Suicidal?
Take a pill.
He'll pull you away,
Pull you off the hill.

Can't fall asleep?
Take a pill.
Wont stay awake?
Take a pill.
He promises you help
And you believe he will.

There's nothing that a pill can't do
He'll fix you
He'll fix you
It's true.

If dreams came true
I'd dream of a future

If I could wish upon a star
I'd wish for bliss

If I could change one thing
I'd take a needle and string
And sow together the spaces
That seperate me and you

Suddenly a ring
Appears around her feet,
And whip in her hand
Makes her lungs retreat.

Here comes the tiger.
A flood,
An ambush.
His blue eyes searching
For a place,
A blood rush.

She turns her head,
He snatches her heart.
But she's not dead,
She's just filling her part.

The tiger snarls.
A growl,
A roar.
She's falling
Again,
For one who makes her sore.
