You see me crumpled
Covered in black & blue
My body stretched & pulled
By tortures no one knew

Bashed against the cold
Bones snapping, blood flying
Death slowly gaining hold
Tears fall, like crying

Try to help, you do
Words of relief & comfort
My liar's reaction, your clue
See what causes my hurt

You see I am lost
To my own deep depression
Hurting at all cost
At my head aims my gun

Echoes leaving traces
Of that life we all knew
That filled us, overflowing,
With this thin, dark liquid,
Dripping from familiar places.

--OWN, --OWN, --OWN

Wishes of sleep elude
As we all begin to fear,
What has come for us
Is not real, but is just
Our own mind in a form so crude.

--ARK, --ARK, --ARK

Solace, from our friends' senses,
cannot end this grimacing demon
or it's quest to eat us whole.
Waiting in nothing but silence.
Holding our breath as muscles tense.

--ETH, --ETH, --*ETH

Flitting oh so lightly
A bird does sing its song
To anyone who listens,
But none have heard in so long
This bright and sweet tune
That shows a bird's own soul
Dripping with ****** sorrow,
While burning hot like a coal,
Smoldering into gray ash
That covers our minds, now blind,
Making us heavy in thought,
Turning on our own kind.

So as we fly like birds,
Forever discovering old skies,
I hope one day our world
Will depart from the same old lies.

This world is running 'round,
Further out of my control.
In everyone's tears, drowned.
Coursing in my blood, runs phenol.

Burning everywhere I go,
That poisonous mix pumps.
Seeping through icy veins so slow,
Making me a useless fleshy clump.

They see me running, screaming
****** ****** in this awful town.
With great force from within, beaming
These filthy lies in full meltdown.

Yet, no one sees my frightful scene.
How can they? I'm sitting alone.
This moment, so wretchingly serene.
Still, my life is coming unsewn.

I feel it laying down now,
My life, so quietly it snaps.
So regally it suffers, I must bow,
For this substance causes collapse.

Burning inside I smile, so small,
Thinking of the glorified cause.
I gave up, taking this horrified fall
And making it to life's last pause.

Your touch it burns
While your soul is cold
I can't run away for
Your touch keeps me here.

Frozen within.

As painful as it seems
I suffer now with glee
For you bring me joy
While destroying my essence.

Burning throughout.

I can't remember a time
When the world meant
What you mean to me
Yet you slow my thinking
With your icy words
And cold gestures of
Hateful love forever
Killing me.

Dying in this icy flame.

Once I knew you
And then you hid
From me so I could
No longer understand.

Darkness consumes.

Busting forth from
Your depths shines darkness.
Bright as a morning star
So as to blind me

Light hinders.

You wrap me up in
This bright ball of dark
That kills all things
That are meant to help
You in your journey
From one day to the next.

Murdered by your soul.

I looked at her eyes every night,
but she never did notice despite
that I couldn’t take my eyes away
from her soul’s shining light.

What if that thing you always said
you wanted to keep, but not in your head.
Just went on a merry trip to beyond
with an action that is pleasing widespread.

I looked at her eyes every night,
but she never did notice despite
that I couldn’t take my eyes away
from her soul’s shining light.

Slipping through the folds of life
we try to end this grievous strife.
Can she not really see what I feel?
So I just tear away with this knife.

I looked at her eyes every night,
but she never did notice despite
that I couldn’t take my eyes away
from her soul’s shining light.

Tears, dripping down with haste,
From my cheek, to the red they raced.
I can’t see as my vision blurs
From the blood, now a waste.

Slipping through the folds of life
we try to end this grievous strife.
Can she not really see what I feel?
So I just tear away with this knife.
