You think
presents are promises
words are warrants
kisses are contracts -
but I give gifts
to conquer,
hold you in my debt,
and tell knots
twists of reality
that wouldn't hold up, Your Honor.
Can't you see how I crave loopholes,
how I search for them
in the arch of your lip
and the contours of your tongue?

I have come
To convince myself
That storms
Are actually my mind.
The tears I have held in
Come pouring out.
The screams I have held in
Come roaring out.
The strikes I have held in
Come flashing out.
My mind is spinning.
Storms are only
A figment of my imagination.
For they are my mind.

Is the world just full of people you don't want to know?

Who change at the drop of a hat
a snap of some fingers
a change in the wind
?

If that's what the world is
I don't want to know it.
I don't know if I can.

do broken hearts still beat?
the pain in my chest
says yes
thumping, thumping
driving me insane

you wanted me to be number two
when i wanted to be number one
no, no, no!
you can't take back love when
you never really gave it anyway

your sorry is worthless to me
it can't fix this pain
so stand there and tell me
that i have to be number two
because she's number one

well i won't, i won't!!
you're human,
you make mistakes
but i won't be around
when it's your heart that breaks

follow me,
down.


follow me quietly,
into the sun.


follow me desperately,
my child of darkened love.

Tried cutting you away
I thought Id be okay
but the pain still remains
and I'm bleeding profusely

Amputation
was no solution
now that its gone
there is only more confusion

Pins and needles
needles and pins
I can still feel you
like a phantom limb

I peeled away the scab
and still found you underneath
tried bleeding you away
but it only made me weak

Now dissected
and disconnected
way too restless
to correct this

Pins and needles
needles and pins
I can still feel you
like a phantom limb

You didn't need to cut into me
just to see what I held inside
I would of gave if freely
there never was a price

Pins and Needles
needles and pins
when does it end now
Where did it begin?

I walk through the halls
Unsteady, unsafe
But if I can't see you, you can't see me.
I see pointing, hear laughs
But I look away
Because if I can't see you, you can't see me.
I close my eyes and dream
To block out the noise
If I can't see you, you can't see me.
I try to smile, fit in
But you give me no choice
So if I can't see you, you can't see me.
I find my palms moist
I'm fixing my clothes, smoothing my hair
If I can't see you, you can't see me.
It's just too much!
The giggles, the whispers, the stares
And suddenly my flaws are all I can see.
