Odi
Fall into her hollow cheeks
what is left of her helpless hands
bleed her until there is nothing left to bleed
climb upon her neck until she cannot stand

Roll your tongue in and out of her mouth
Plant your lies securely in her mind
leave her without a doubt
until herself she cannot find

So you move away and tread on water
cannot mistake the ripples
like cracked egg shells you break them
so loudly they echo in your mind
these friends once dogs
scatter off to a better find
no more loyalty in the face of fresh meat
I don't blame the hounds the smell is too strong
and the ***** too good
My fault for trying to find solace with
guitar boys in bands
I will always be a once lost sister
they speak of nostalgically when they meet another sister
someone they used to know
I havent changed; they have this place has, it is no longer home.
It just smells like it.
find bullet wounds in my guts
I am spineless
I ride myself on cowardice and pride
I have blood alcohol of 0.5
Theres nothing left but
pride pride pride
Oh Theresa you carry your bible so well
your hands haven't aged in this golden state
the orpahn by your side could use a meal though
the smell of dead animals and garbage trucks and burning
nothing like smoke that has lodged its way into your throat
you cannot un-lodge the dark black sticky stuff
its poison
gun blasts
I thought I could face it
I am a child  of nowhere
Nuthin like comin back home.
Fear controls our minds sometimes
And comfort is often hard to find,
But I swear you'll find it in me.

My own shadows scare me to stone,
But I swear to God if I end up alone
I'll never live this life down.

Choices are made by thoughts we consume
Blur it out,
Bur it out,
When fear overtakes, it promises doom
Rise above,
Rise above,
Cancel out fear through each other right now,
We've got nothing to worry
Slow down, don't hurry
And we'll be able to sleep tonight with our eyes closed somehow.

Examine what makes us weak in the dark
Slowly ignite it by a match and a spark.
Embrace all the jumps that startle your veins,
Then acknowledge the feelings and the thoughts that you've gained.

Don't be a rookie in the place that we are
Keep your feet on the ground and your eyes on a star.
Don't get lost,
Don't give in,
Find strength in the night,
Because ultimately fear's gonna put up a fight.
I don't know how to smile. That is a fact.
But when I'm with you, babe, my lips draw a perfect smile.
It might be the sweet words you say.
It might be how you make me feel inside,
but whatever the reason might be, it is you who makes me smile.
A shot at something different, and don't forget to smile once a day (at least) :)
It's 2:30 AM,
and I'm sitting at this **** table again,

Searching for a reason,
reason for the changing of the seasons,
along with the changing of the wind,
it blows in every direction,
searching for the time of day,

But who really cares anyway?

We're just wasting away with every passing phase,
Ticking away at the moments of the ever so dull day,

Someone, please, take me away!
Jerry Garcia inspired this one guys. (mostly the second stanza)
secret laughter
secret reason to be

when i'm with you
our hands hold a secret
that our smiles reveal

in the purple skies of my dreams
our secrets are the kites that fly

i dare to dream
i dare to defy
i dare to speak
i dare to cry

i dare to live
i dare to die
i dare to face
my inner lies

i dare to fear
i dare to care
Life - after all
is a game of truth or dare
