When the earth is at a perfect stand still
I can feel the tilted axis
Gravity hugs me before the sunlight kisses me
I can feel it weighing me to the ground
When it's so quiet
The presence of no sound is the only sound
I can feel the earths core beating beneath my feet
Pushing and pull
As I walk along the fault lines
I'm up before the birds
Out of my whole before the worms
There's a storm in me
But mornings are to peaceful
To wake up angrily
As I wonder through the darkness
The world never seem so bright

We were like woven fabric
That got ripped
Unable to be stitch back together
Split at its ends
To badly destroyed to be fixed
This love is broken
But it feels like it's whole
We flourished in its youth
As time passed it got old
An In its dying days it couldn't be saved

For money and gold
For you
His life was sold
Gave his location
In sin you gave into temptation
Then with a greet of a kiss
From your deceitful lips
He was betrayed
By you
A heart that was lost and filled with greed
But in this transaction you went insane
Infected
Cursed
In your realization
You tried to get reimbursed
But your faith was sealed
For the prophecy had to be fulfilled
And as you stood at the top of the hill
Beneath a tree past its prime
You hung yourself
Until the kicking in your feet went

Your soul is in clothes
Fine Lenin to cover your ligaments
It was your God on Sunday
Prayed to it on Monday
Emotions could be felt in your denim
In the stitches of the fabric pumped life like they were your veins  
Heartbrokenness comforted in your tight boyfriend jeans
In your back pocket sat your heart
Where it couldn't be seen
The expensive products you powered yourself in made you feel like a queen
Inside these clothes you were royalty
It gave you power
Smirked at those who looked in awe
A sin if you didn't look good
You were strong in your religion
Curses those who didn't dress like you
This was your life
An you would sacrifice it all to look this nice

How much do you think about me
Does it come frequent as the wind blows through the tress
Or does it pack up like a dad in the silent of the night an leaves
What will it take for you to be gone
Does doubt creep in the back of your mind
Is your love really true
Or does it crack like cheap Instant glue
Does 21 Questions bother you
How deep is our bond
Lately you an I haven't gotten along fondly
How far would you go
What do you have to prove
Is your trust weak like mine
Or do you know I don't trust you
Does your past hold you in cuffs
Does it affect me an you
I wonder how would you feel if I left
Would you be asthmatic and lose your breath
Or would the first breath you take without me set you free  
What do you feel when you like my way
Does your heart scream for you to stay
Or is it empty like mine

Away from the beach
Couldn't stand the stickiness of the sand
Beneath the waves
Lost between the tides
When the ocean waves rise
A step out to sea
Hoping to walk upon the water
Trying to break the borders of this world
But instead of gliding
You sinked
Like you had concrete on your feet
And as you looked down
It was your hands pulling you
Helping you drown
As the water filled your lungs
You finally felt full
The weight of emptiness
Heavier then you predicted
Frustrated cause you wasn't blessed with the gift of being optimistic
So you just sit there
Floating
Sinking deeper in the ocean
Not waiting on a savior
That would mean you've been hoping
Cursed with this feeling that you have to do everything alone
And the lack of cure for this curse
Has made this curse strong
It Imbedded itself in your bones
Suspended in animation
Carried by the ocean

Day and night
It was your drug
You consumed it
Addicted to the feeling it gave you
this high
Couldn't reach this peak even if you lived in the sky
But suddenly and abruptly it was detached away
Now you feel the side effects
And your body aches
Your appetite for food gone
Sweats in the midnight hour keeps you awake
Like a fein
You sit in the corner shivering and shakes
Depression has become the breath you take
You stop looking in the mirror
Your reflection says you were the mistake
Carelessly you got hooked on love
It gave you life
Now you know it can kills
The side effects from love just makes you feel ill
