these words
what have they ever done for me?
hours upon hours
cramp after cramp
always searching, scouring, hoping
to find the one I need
the one to convey
the love, the hurt, the .anything.
like a lady who teases and taunts
the desperate strings of my heart
only to abhor me forever
while I continue the hunt
for the perfect sentence
to sum up these emotions
simply raging deep underneath

Are you listening?
I'm caught and sinking
As if the very earth
Wished to envelop me

But I'm not afraid
I've got the wind by my side
And though I've mountains to cross
This time I'm not lost

The path may seem impossible
But now I am unstoppable
And though the earth reaches up to swallow me down
I have the wind to lift me off the ground

I won't fall prey to this darkness
Wishing to fill me with sadness
Misery continues, trying her very best
Until I catch a gale and leave this mess

such heavy silence
the ticking of the clock
with hands left to idle
as mouths refuse to talk

a shift tempts my statue
as principle keeps me stone
with eyes that refuse to meet
how do we know we're not alone?

such a heavy silence
though I know your thoughts are loud
I, too, have words which wish to tumble
but we both own hearts too proud

theres something creeping up behind me
sooner or later its going to arrive beside me
I'm staring with wide eyes
slowly sewing my mouth closed

I'm not gonna let this get me
its coming on like a train wreck
my fingers grasp for anything
to stop inertia
I'm directly in the path
standing empty handed on the tracks

Stop slow down just wait
I'm struggling to keep this from closing in on me
Hold your pressure I'm finding fissures
You're bringing this down on me
You're taking out my knees
Please don't do this now

You allow no mercy from your mouth
I'm watching you speak a wicked tongue
My will you try to conquer
Do you have to take it all?
Oh here we go again

You push down
I stand still
You always go
In for the ****
But I'm breaking even
I'm breaking even now

Turn your eyes from me
You are class act treason
I failed you, I tried to save you
From your own demons you lose it all

By your own hand you're a liar
As fickle as the wind across my face
These acts you alone transpire
Breaking glass for the soles of those who follow you

Its the teeth within the smile
You're got a taste for twisting hearts
How dare you ever meet my eyes
How do you hold your head high with a crippled spine?

So keep your whisper from my ear
You dont belong here anymore
Take your betrayal, may it beat your blood well
As you make nest amongst us all

suffer in silence
too much pride to offer compliance
to the words burning up inside
simply burning them alive

well now shes choking on her pride
these flames just wont subside
how did we miss when it all died?
she swears they swore to try

too many hours spent staring at the ground
the only thing to really stick around
in the absence of gravity
I never really expected you to fail me

with bated breath
let her free fall
free fall
free fall
free fall
head first into her own wall
