you came in through a leak
filled me drip by drip
everybody is judgemental
if you're full of yourself
but im full of someone else

How didst I turneth
To this monstrosity
I am ev'rything
Yond makes me sick
I won't receiveth holp
So it shall beest up to me
To just p'rfect
This disease

I wisheth to perish
To spareth mine own legacy
I wisheth to beest f'rgotten
F'r who is't I once wast
And not beest remembered f'r
The ghastly thing I've becometh

Lead Me (Or Don't)
Austin Meehan Apr 30
I don't know where
We were led astray
Been told to look up
But all I see is devils above
And angels below
All the right intentions have paved
The way to hell
Lies and misdirections have guided
The way to heaven

One plus one is two
Unless it's me and you
You make me feel like half
Of all that I am

Is
Is
Everything you didn't ask for
Nothing like the last *****

Said I wouldn't let feelings creep
Now we're rolling way too deep

You know me far too well
Now you see my complete hell

Not who you want
Not when you wanted it
Not who you need
Not when you needed it

Both still here so that's just life.

Cry into the bedsheets
Tell me that you love me

Fall apart in my eyes
Tell me that we we won't capsize

Disappear into my soul
Tell me I make you whole

The Chase
Austin Meehan Apr 30
I'm chasing you for love
And I don't think it's all your fault
I get too attached
Pretend like this is mine to have
Its not though

I want to undo everything I've done
The triumphs and love
The sins and the downfalls
I want to have never been
I want to never be
You can't be forgotten easily
At least not from others memories
But with these suicidal thoughts
I know I want to be forgotten quicker

San(in)ty
Austin Meehan Apr 28
Some find their sanity
On the edge of a blade
Some find it in an ocean
And they just calmly wade

Some lose their sanity
All because of love
Some find it in the air
Sight of flowers or a dove

Some simply never had
Some pretend to always have
Escape comes at a cost
But I've been so ******* lost
I forgot what I'm running from
And now I'm

I want to be here
For everyone I love
But I can't do this
And now I'm

Holding

A bottle of pills
A gun
A steering wheel
A thick piece of rope
A straight razor
A whole bunch of bad decisions

Cigarettes in the dark
Sharp inhales and muted thoughts
Extensive conversations
Soft exhales and harsh words

I spoke with my demons today
They say I won't walk away this time
That for how ****** up this all is
I didn't need help ruining my life
Yikes.

Sightless
Austin Meehan Apr 30
You left a note

Never heard your cries
You weren't singing
Never was a lullaby

You were bled dry
Ate completely alive
I never saw it

You left a note

Let Me In
Austin Meehan Apr 30
I've been looking
For God in silence
Screaming for help
In empty horizons

I've been hurting
For as long as I can remember
Crying pitiful tears while my body
Begs to surrender

I've never danced
I could never be convinced
Seeing you across this room
Has me doubting that truth

You're eyes are pickpockets
Slowly working the locks
That enshroud my heart
And now I'm getting nervous

We slowly meet in middle
The lights get even dimmer
I wouldn't call this dancing
But we seem to do it well

I hate when you judge me
You were once in this hell
When the water was muddy
And it seems you've forgotten.

We swam in the clouds
You were once in this heaven
When you were so proud
And it seems you've forgotten.

Now you've forgotten
Now I'm so toxic
Now nobody wants me
Now I'm ******* rotten.

I used to think
The world outside my mind
Loved me more
Now I think
The world inside my mind
Just hates me more.

Eh
Austin Meehan Apr 30
Eh
I live in my own creation
Or I live in a godless simulation
Eh, its about the same.
I hate the calm
And yet exude it
Appearing aloof
And yet pulling my hair out
When things appear fine
And I know they aren't
I suppose it's because
"In a quiet pool, the devil dwells."

Turn the page
Or burn the book

Re-cast the movie
Or become the villain

Sell my soul
Or live with who I am

Climb the mountain
Or beg at the bottom

Watch the sunrise
Or die in the dark

Pulling strings better than a puppeteer
Baby you know there's no way
Not any way out of here

You have me caught in this twilight
And you know there's no way
Not any way I can continue to fight

You're beautiful
Carefree and forgiving
Loyal and perfectly imperfect
Who would've thought
Your greatest flaw would be

Me

You and I tried
We hate ourselves
And love each other
Not really.

You and I lied
We tell each other the truth
And wouldn't hurt another
Not really.

You and I
Not really.

¿Duality?
Austin Meehan Apr 26
I don't want to feel anything
Yet I complain when I feel nothing.

I don't want to find love again
Yet I complain when no one wants me.

I don't want to talk anymore
Yet I complain when I'm not heard.

Don't say this is the last time

Don't let me become just a thread
In your ****** up tapestry

Don't send me into the wind
To become the ash of an old flame

Don't make this the last time

Once I Leave.

Don't make me a martyr
Or a victim of my situation
Don't make me a poet
Or a painter of words
Don't make me a sob story
Or a bird that never enjoyed his wings
Just tell it how it is
And how it was.

I just got lost in the pages
I let the things in me
The things kept in cages
Take control and then I went.

If you say
You mean it
Then I'll say
I understand

If I say
It was my fault
Then you just
Let go of my hand
