let's spend the day in an opiated haze
wrapped up in blankets, we'll float away
you'll stutter and i'll shudder from the strength
of this bliss
like nothing i've ever experienced

fend off
the winter with this white powder's warmth
your hand
on the small of my back
lie here
flirting with unconsciousness
hope the morning won't remind us of our ailments

just take the pain away
let us lay here
we don't have to bang
or bang the drugs
we can lay here for as long as the feeling lasts
don't need to escalate
just stay here, warm, and let the night escape

I crossed my fingers
and my heart fluttered
because I made a wish
that you could come back.
And oh, how I longed to make that
tiny part of your heart
that belonged to me
whole again.

10- It went too fast
9- Nothing changed
8-  I'm full of regret
7- It didn't get better
6- I'm not a better person
5- Where is everybody
4- I'm still just dying
3- Things will still be the same
2- I'm still alone
1- I hope to God this one is better

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Every year.
With every second that passes by, these all rush through my head.
And for some reason, I always think the next year will be different.
How foolish of me.
I believe in you
I believe in this
Every life is worthwhile
And no ones life is worth more
As our value can’t be counted in dollars
Or any other types of currency
So know your life is worth more
Than mountains of gold
Or the rarest of ores
And it’s not worth any less
Than the lives of your favorite celebrities
Just cause your talents aren’t shared
And your story isn’t told
doesn’t mean they aren’t worth it
And if you have the time to share
I’d love to listen and see
Who’s the person
Behind the beautiful face we can see

I guess asking for love
was too much to ask.
I watched the sun rise
and fell asleep.

I watched the sun set
and became enlightened.
He was not alone.
The moon and the stars were there.
He could not see them.
