I don't expect you to understand
Why I recoil when
You extend your arms and hands
Why I brace for impact
Within the trajectory of your touch
It is warm,
and I am cold.
It is wind,
and I am stone.

Blame it on
Your absent father
Your addict mother
Your unexpected children
Blame it on
Anyone, and anything
So you never have to
Take responsibility
For your own actions

It's the whiskey
That hit me
It's my own shards
That tore me apart
It's a malevolent God
That lied about love
'Cause you don't do anything

Blame it on
My fragile psyche
My insecurities
My "impossible" needs
Blame it on
Anyone, and anything
So you never have to
Take responsibility
For what you've done to me

It's the cigarettes
That stole my breath
The weight of my expectations
That broke my trust
The spinning of my own wheels
That drove me into madness
'Cause you don't do anything

I love it when
you stumble over
your words 'cause
I made your heart
pound so hard
your voice skipped
like a record

I don't chase perfection
I won't waste my
precious life chasing
dragons and unicorns

I love it when
you check your breath
and fix your hair
when I go
powder my nose
'cause you don't know
that I'm in love
with the man
behind the mask

I don't need a prince,
a crown, or a palace
All I need, all I know
when I lay my head
in your lap, I am home.

It's true, what they say
people are mirrors
I look into your eyes
everything is backwards

What you see,
eyes and lips
hips and thighs
dirt and twigs
curves and lines

If my proportions
are enough, but
not too much
then...
I have your attention
and maybe
If I press my clothes
burn my hair
paint my face
maybe you will
like what you see?

What would I see?
If you never told me
I was beautiful
When I cover up
brush my hair
across my face
then...
would I know?
could I see?
The girl that's dying
inside of me.

Her wolf was circling.
The ***** didn't even know...
she was being sized up
by an apex predator.
She elegantly contained this
knowledge of future bloodshed
within her own head.
Never letting that *****
out of her sanguine glare.
She remembers only echoes
of noises that accumulated into words.
Annoying,
ENRAGING,
words.
The wolf pounced out of her control,
but not outside of her desire.
The ***** made a beautiful corpse.
That angered her.
She walked away with a villainous
smirk on her face, and a tumor
of darkness growing inside of her.
The wolf trotting along side her.

She's waiting alone at the bar
She's lost in her own thoughts
If you don't see her NOW
She'll be taken like your last breath
And you'll be as good as dead

And of course it comes on
That was your song

She's dancing like you're not there
She's lost in the eyes of a stranger
If you don't grab her NOW
She'll be gone just like the wind
And you'll never dance again

And of course it comes on
That was your song

She's given you her last call
And if you're listening at all
You will see her NOW
She's leaving with or without you
You'll be history or a memory soon

And of course it comes on
'Cause it's the last song
You want to hear

here's to the inappropriate bonds
the secrets that form between us
all of the nights spent hating all
of the things that we'll never admit
and the mornings spent regretting
all the stupid things that we did

you're an alien to me
here you come
with your false light
you come creeping in
the middle of the night
all I'm left with is lost time
I've been violated
in ways I can't explain
and no one believes me

here's to the unforseen devistation
that contact has cost us
all of the days spent as strangers
not to each other but to ourselves
and all of the mornings we wake up
wishing it was yesterday...

you're an alien to me
here you come
with your false light
you come creeping in
the middle of the night
all I'm left with is lost time
I've been violated
in ways I can't explain
and no one believes me

If you think that
I will wait in the shadows
keeping my head down
my organs, my time
at your disposal
You are blind
In the worst kind of way

I have been the trick
up the sleeve of
dishonest players
enough to know
that darkness well
penetrating only the physical
powerless against the invisible

I refuse to be kept
as a secret, a guilty pleasure
no more will you
take me behind closed doors
pretending not to be
intoxicated in front
of your friends

You will never see
me on my knees
for your sins
Your sinister sermon
no longer whispers
in my ear
And the weight of
your demons
Has lifted from my shoulder

The mistress of your cruelty
no more,
The empire we ruled
The castle we shared
All ruins now
Tales of our torrid
love affair will be
greatly misremembered
You, wearing my crown
And I, wearing your ill repute.

If only I could bore
Into your skull
Hotwire your thoughts

If only I could crack
Open your chest
Steal your heart back

If only I could tap
Into your spine
Turn that noodle to stone

If only I could slice
Open your belly
Show you what guts look like

If only I could tear
You another hole
Would you put my love there?

Just one bat of her lashes, and every neuron in my brain was conspiring to steal her heart. So I became a thief. I become a lot of things in an instant, the way a chameleon changes colors. Her heart was reduced to a jewel, courting became a heist, and possession was just the *** afterwards. She was nothing more than a crime. A terrible thing that I committed.

I still miss
the first boy
that I really
loved
none of
you know
cause I'll never
tell a soul

do you believe
in distance?
inches and miles
are just fiction
we are together
it's a kind of
covalent bond

I still miss
that entire summer
the love and
the inevitable
heartbreak in the end
nobody knows
cause I'll never
tell a soul

do you believe
in distance?
inches and miles
are just fiction
we are together
it's a kind of
covalent bond

should've been the bigger person
and walked away from you right then
should've never folded my hand
and just let you win again

feelings aren't like chess pieces,
you can't stratagize and move
them wherever you want
don't know what game you're
playing but count me out
mark my words, that one day
you'll be sorry for the way
you disposed of me

should've been the stronger person,
and just took your right and left hooks
should've never tapped out
and shown my weakness

hearts aren't like diamonds,
you can't wear them around
your finger, take them off
throw them in a box until later
don't know what you value me
at but I know that I don't
shine like I used to

should've been the bigger person,
and let sleeping dogs lie before me
should've never kicked the hive
and expected to get honey

she said,
you're like the dark
you are mysterious
I call out for you
and something else
answers me back

there are no friends
no lovers
just opportunists
under covers

There is emptiness
in content
Folly woven deep
within success
It isn't the darkness
that scares us
Its the light, or lack thereof
at the end.

she left me
like a continental divide
little did I know we were
sleeping on a fault line
I called out for her
but she's too far to
hear me now

there's no coincidence
no second chances
just opportunities
and circumstance

There is emptiness
in content
Folly woven deep
within success
It isn't the darkness
that scares us
Its the light, or lack thereof
at the end.

her eyes turned black
her voice went flat
she stabbed me in the back
when I turned to run

she's a demon
she's a demon
I love your
darkness
pour it on me
like molten lava
baby, scorch me
I need to be clean

she stopped me in my tracks
stopped my heart just like that
she pulled it out of my chest
while I was sleeping in her bed

she's a demon
she's a demon
I love your
darkness
pour it on me
like molten lava
baby, scorch me
I need to be clean

D'exercice vous
serait blasphème
mais il vaut mieux pour moi
to exercise you
would be blasphemy
but it's best for me
I need to be clean

You can only imagine
How it feels
How the oxygen
Leaves the room
Just before you
Are consumed
By heat, so intense
You cease to exist
And turn to ash
In it's presence
But you can never know
How it feels
The last breath
In a black lung
Until you burn
Only then,
Can you speak of fire.

Death, comes to us all
For some, it rings
the doorbell
It brings
flowers like a
gentleman caller

Sometimes, it creeps
up on us while
we sleep
Snatches the life
Like a thief
in the night

For some, it is
The end that
justifies
the means
It is the cold truth
After the hot soup
of lies
in between

Others, it stalks
Like prey
Licking it's lips
As it gets closer
every day
It is a random
act of violence
Unprovoked,
Waiting in silence

But for all of us,
It is life's only guarantee.

convince yourself that I'm nothing
camouflage like the coward you've become
if you're not afraid of anything,
than what are you running from?
pound on your chest and roar
make yourself seem begger than you are
if you don't want me anymore,
what do you mark your territory for?
I've got your number
I've got your sign
no I'm not yours
but you were never mine
One more excuse, for the road
You can't tell me, I already know
A few more tears, to lubricate
One more kiss, to seal my fate
convince yourself that I'm to blame
live a lie for another seven years
if you're so happy without me,
than why are you drunk all the time?
watch me like a predator stalking prey
please get your claws out of me
if you're not out for blood,
than why are you always cutting me?
I've got your number
I've got your sign
no I'm not yours
but you were never mine
One more excuse, for the road
You can't tell me, I already know
A few more tears, to lubricate
One more kiss, to seal my fate

oh, the sudden trauma of it all
out of nowhere we hit a wall
I'll stumble away from the wreck
and wipe the blood from my head

I'll be okay
Just wake me
up please

for it was not love, but *****
that brought us together
now almost 2 years have passed by
you're crippled, and I almost died

honey it was spite, not loyalty
that kept you next to me
and now that it's too late to
avoid this ****** twist of fate

I don't give
a **** but I'll
take one

for it was not love, but *****
that brought us together
now almost 2 years have passed by
you're crippled, and I almost died

She was more pure of heart than she let on.
More beautiful than she believed.
The sun itself would be envious
of the light in her eyes.
She was a lady of many hats,
all of which she wore elegantly.
But there was an emptiness within her
that's gravitational pull was so intense,
not even the heaviest of hearts were safe.
She, with the smirk of a fox.
She speaks my thoughts out loud,
she faces my worst fears,
she wanders like I do...
"Run away with me", her eyes scream.
Her mouth whispers "If only".
Simultaneously giving and taking hope.
It was a tear in the universe,
a glitch in time, a crack in faith.
This was not supposed to be.
Not now.
For her the wedding bells toll.
For I the silence of singularity.
I watched her eyes start to shimmer,
and flood with confirmation.
She caught herself, and smiled.
"We will meet again...someday." She shouted,
as she disappeared into the crowd.
It was time for the father, bride dance.
As she walked away...I thought,
"I am quite possibly watching part of my soul walk away."

You have a universe
All to yourself
You are a God,
It begins and ends
With you.
You decide
If love
and
cruelty exist

You are immortal
Infallible
And gorgeous
Move like a dancer
As you
Float through
The space
Between you
and
The world

The stars are
In your eyes
Galaxies expanding
Beautiful madness
In your head
We all have
Black holes
That **** in
and
devour us.

your eyes
were the
only light
that pierced
the midnight
you words
were the
only sound
that pierced
the silence

I'm tired of fighting
fighting with you
fighting for you
fighting with myself
I'm tired of lying
lying for you
lying to myself
lying to my friends

your kiss
was the
only touch
that penetrated
my walls
your revenge
was the
only blow
that penetrated
my defenses

I'm tired of fighting
fighting with you
fighting for you
fighting with myself
I'm tired of lying
lying for you
lying to myself
lying to my friends

think it's time
for me to call it a night
I'm exhausted and
I'm all out of fight

you can show your teeth
alpha male
you can growl at me
alpha male
you can chase me away
alpha male
but if you follow me
alpha male
I will fashion a coat
from your skin, tiger.
RAWR!

you can show your teeth
alpha male
you can growl at me
alpha male

alpha male
but if you follow me
alpha male
I will fashion a coat

RAWR!

Let your pride be a wall
That keeps you from the one you love
Let your anger be a noose
Just wait until the bottom falls out
Let your fear be a blanket
That covers you in that hot mess
Let your ego be the bouncer
That keeps every feeling out
Let your age be the excuse
For you to act the way that you do
Look at me like you love me
And speak to me like you hate me
I don't care...
I'm so done...
Let it go baby
Let it go
Let your rebound be a distraction
From that fact you'll always miss me
Let your words be the nails
That bury you in that dark place
Let your shallowness be your playground
That keeps you from going off the deep end
Let your regret burn like a fire
That you try to put out with my tears
Let your selfishness be the drug
That takes you away from the real world
Let your mistakes be habits
That keep playing like a hot track
Look at me like you love me
And speak to me like you hate me
I don't care...
I'm so done...
Let it go baby
Let it go
Let your secrets be your disguise
So one knows who really are
Let your past be the cage
That you spend the rest of your life in
Let your spine melt away like ice
Tell me how you can look me in the eye

violent
beating
our hearts
bleeding
together

go ahead
and run
for your
life
you know
I'll find
you again
but I can't
promise
I'll be
the same
person when
that happens

torture
stonewall
captive hearts
breaking
apart

so we
meet again
but now
we're standing
on opposite
fences
and I got
the feeling
I'm staring
down a barrel
you've got me
in your sights
but do you
have the guts
to pull
the trigger?

vacancy
strangers
familiar hearts
begin to forget
what it felt
like to not be
empty

You're just a scab that
I pick until it bleeds again
You're just a hole that
I stick my finger in
You're never going to
be what I need
You're never going to
see what I see
You're just a torn out
page in my history
You're just a generic
hard copy mystery
You're never going to
be enough for me
You're never going to
hold my curiosity
You're just a blemish
that I have to cover up
You're just the dirt
that I sweep under the rug
You'll never clean up
the mess you made
You're the stain that
will never fade

everybody's creeping
and cheating
everybody's lying
and crying and
dying inside
all we really want
is to feel alive again
this city's seething
with faithless believing
that things are gonna change
while we still stay the same
this is all pointless
be with who you miss
lay the past to rest
or bury the path to happiness
these feelings are residual
repeating and leading us
straight to hell
what you hate you used to love
screaming and bleeding
until theres nothing left of us
everybody's faking
and breaking and
pretending their hating
everybody's chasing
and free basing
when we don't really
want to fall in love
we want to rise above and
reach for what we really want
this is all pointless
be with who you miss
lay the past to rest
or bury the path to happiness
these feelings are residual
repeating and leading us
straight to hell
what you hate you used to love
screaming and bleeding
until theres nothing left of us
everybody's running
away from something
and putting on a front
everybody's hiding
and trying to find
someone they can confide in
when the truth lies in the dark
close your eyes and follow your heart
it's not about what you want
it's about what you can't live without
this is all pointless
be with who you miss
lay the past to rest
or bury the path to happiness
these feelings are residual
repeating and leading us
straight to hell
what you hate you used to love
screaming and bleeding
until theres nothing left of us

we're waging wars
with each other
by way of space
and silence

we took an oath
under our breaths
swore we'd forget
there's an undertow
and it keeps on
pulling us in

I see how you are now
and I'm so sorry
I gave you my heart
what's done is done now
we've got to play
the lesser cards

we're starting fires
in each others forts
thoughts like arrows
pierce through the armor

we took an oath
to defend our kingdom
but we broke our crowns
it wasn't supposed
to happen like this
love always wins...

I see how you are now
and I'm so sorry
I gave you my heart
what's done is done now
we've got to play
the lesser cards

**turning this into a hopefully very pretty song soon for "Ghosts of Punk Rock"

I can't reach
consciousness
untethered
falling deeper
into darkness

and they try
but I just can't
I don't know why
It feels wrong
to love anything

but I remember
smiling and dancing
sweet salty September
oh, everything...

I can feel it
drawing closer but
not close enough
I need it now
something to believe

and I try
but I just can't
understand why
what I think
isn't what I say

but I remember
laughing and crying
through each endeavor
and our love dying
in my arms

I loved you like
the sun loves a star
so distant and mysterious
but we can't exist
in the same galaxy

and we try
and we live our lies
but we always have an eye
out for that distant light

I see we're falling into old habits
you don't want me, you just can have it
swore I'd never let you hurt me again
and here you are digging under my skin
please don't say you want to kiss me
please don't tell me how you miss me

so I'll do another bump
while you speak of love
that you claim doesn't exist
and I'll have another drink
while I try not to think
of all the things I miss

I won't fall again, no
I won't let you in, no
I won't pretend though
that we're just friends
so what do we do
when you can't let me go
and I can't let go of you?

I see the spark that almost burned me alive
and all I can say is that I'm not ready to die
I hate how you **** me away like the tide
no matter how far I come, I'm right by your side
I should be enjoying this role reversal
But I feel like before was just rehearsal

so I'll do another bump
while you speak of love
that you claim doesn't exist
and I'll have another drink
while I try not to think
of all the things I miss

I won't fall again, no
I won't let you in, no
I won't pretend though
that we're just friends
so what do we do
when you can't let me go
and I can't let go of you?

I know that this is the same game
that I'm so ******* tired of playing
it's the same words that betrayed me
maybe you love me as much as you hate me

you spin your web
and I fly right in
invisible
weightless
captivity

I'm all wrapped up
waiting to be drained
suspended
helpless
weak

rip off my wings
and laugh in my face
predatory
poisonous
insect

cover my mouth
and strip me naked
*******
merciless
brutal

yeah, you're beautiful
you're a dying star
you're just burning up

knowing
doesn't make you
wise
surviving
doesn't make you
brave
what makes
the man
are the things
he'll never quite
be

yeah, you're beautiful
you're a dying star
you're just burning up

loving
doesn't make you
kind
honesty
doesn't make you
true
what would've
made the difference
are the things
you'd never
do

yeah, you're beautiful
that's all you are
it's all you are.

I guess I'm a liar.
That I never walked through hell
For a devil with the face of an angel
I never took the blame for her sins
My pain didn't inspire my writings
It was all you.
Though we never spoke or met
I stole your pain, I guess
'Cause you're the only one
Who ever felt the backhand of love
Thank you for creating the feeling,
Of both drowning and falling
Of both burning and freezing
Only YOU know.
What it feels like to be wounded
And to bleed all over the world
I never had a relationship with
A megalomaniacal, evil *****
I guess I just stole it.
Memories of brutality without shame
How did we ever feel before you came?
Along and taught us this new word,
This uncharted concept for which
No one has previously heard.
Get over yourself.
It's just a word
And mine is better than yours.

While I sleep
She cheats
on me
While my eyes
are closed
she cries
to nobody
She's sorry
but she's not
sorry
for me

so tired of your excuses
and the truth is,
you're a liar and a coward
and you're never gonna learn

sing it like the gospel baby
I don't have a prayer
you come to me when you're broken
expecting some kind of repair

truth is, I'm not your savior
but I don't wanna come
down from this cloud
I called you a devil
said you never loved me
just didn't wanna be dethroned

so tired of playing someone else
and the truth is,
I'm too good of an actor
no one sees my real character

play the victim with conviction
get away with the perfect crime
you come to me when you're on the run
expecting me to be your safe haven

truth is, I'm not a fortress
but I don't want to be abandoned
by you rats on a sinking ship
I called you weak
said that you've been taken over
but all along, it was me

play me like an instrument
we'll make the most brutal music
cause we've got the same song
stuck in our heads
and we pretend we don't
know it by heart.

I dreamed that you had ceased to love me—
not that you had come from other beds
back to mine, or gone from mine to others,
just that something in your heart had stopped.

I willed myself awake to find you still
beside me. It was just a dream, I thought,
yet when I turned to kiss you, in your eyes
I saw that you had ceased to love me.

I willed myself awake a second time
to find myself alone, as I have been
these many months, but did not know if it
was terror or relief I felt, and whether

dreams unfold the past or make the future
plain. I dreamed that you had ceased to love me,
and know when I see nothing in your eyes
I can't dream myself awake a third time.

-David Solway

You used to show up at my door,
broken, and defeated by the world
And I'd take you in like a stray,
feed you, give your head a place to rest
My arms used to be a cradle,
A warm, safe place for you to dream
Somehow they became a prison,
Captivation, soon turned to captivity

If I could've stopped this casting
From changing our characters
You wouldn't be a liar
And I wouldn't be a fool

You used to undress in front of me,
Disarm, expose yourself to me
And I'd kiss all of your wounds,
dress them, give you something for the pain
My eyes used to be your windows
They used to be open, and full of light
Somehow they are just holes now,
Something you can't get out of

If I could've stopped this devolution
From taking us back in time
You wouldn't be a stranger
And I wouldn't be a stranger

A black hearted Queen, ripe with jealousy, asked for the heart of the fairest lamb in the land.
And all of the peasants, desperate and starving hunted her down like a plump wild bore.
But the princess was as clever and the Queen was cruel, and she gave her heart away...
She gave it to the most terrible monster she could find.
She knew that it would be safe, for everyone feared this monster.
It lived ina deep dark hole, alone but for the bones of maidens that threw themselves at it's feet.
A sacrifice in return for prosperity and protection.
The beast swallowed the princesses heart whole the moment she handed it over.
She felt her chest harden and become cold.
And she knew that the only satisfaction she would ever have was the knowledge that the evil Queen would never ever put her stained hands on her heart.
As time callused her softness and scarred her wounds, her mind wandered,and she wondered...
Did the price she payed outweigh the cost?
Is one monster ever any better than the other?
Never mind, the spell has been cast.
What's done is done.
Some fairy tales don't have happy endings.
And some endings just linger like a cherry that falls from  cigarette, burning a hole in your lap.

you're gonna shut your mouth
and listen for once, I'm talking now
don't act like you don't owe me
a few precious moments of your time
the goodbye you robbed me of,
deserves to play out as it should
And I'll admit, it will never be enough
I'm just too angry and confused about it

I know it's futile
To fake this smile
I know it's obvious
how I really feel
I know it's foolish
to waste my breath

you're gonna shut your mouth
and face your victim one on one
don't act like your innocent,
everyone knows what you've done
the things that you stole from me
can never be replaced or found
And I'll admit, I don't want restitution
But I'd settle for some sweet revenge

I know it's useless
to cry over this
I know it's obvious
that I'm still burning
I know I'm better off
but I feel so lost

it's not about
who's right
or wrong
who lost
who won
'cause when
you're gone
I feel so
hollowed
why can't I
help myself?
I want to
crush you
but I love you
...
It's not about
who ****** up
or who got ******
who lost it all
who lost the torch
'cause when
I'm gone
you're just
a shell
why do you
always run?
you know
I will not
follow

is this how
it will always be?
you vs. me
used to be us
against the world
how did we
ruin the perfect thing?
we reduced an
empire into ashes
over a text message
...

I never gave anything more of me
I never tried so hard to fix something
But like quicksand, the more I fought
for this the more you consumed me
Swallowing me like an ice cold glass
of water in the desert

I woke up before you did,
Left without saying goodbye again
I've got to wash your scent off my skin

Sleeping in the bed we used to share
Was like lying in my own coffin, dead awake
I closed my eyes and let darkness take me
Take me anywhere...

I never fell for anything or anyone
I never really hit any walls but
I crashed into you like a wave
breaking against the shore
I am salty and cold in your mouth
and you are dry and hard
against my skin

I woke up before you did,
Left without saying goodbye again
I've got to wash your scent off my skin

Sleeping in the bed we used to share
Was like lying in my own coffin, dead awake
I closed my eyes and let darkness take me
Take me anywhere...

Do you think they notice?
That you and I are like magnets
I feel you pulling me in and
it's a force that I can't resist
It's what we are

Sleeping in the bed we used to share
Was like lying in my own coffin, dead awake
I closed my eyes and let darkness take me
Take me anywhere...

we were left here
empty and ready
to fall into decay
used to be so much life
and in the dark,
there were bright lights

the home we built
caught on fire and
burned to the ground
there's just a skeleton
a naked foundation that
used to hold our dreams

we were torn down
condemned to demolition
we tied the knot to
the chain on the wrecking ball
we crumbled
under...

the roads we pioneered
are long overgrown
but we still know
the way by heart
a rhythmic pounding
from my very bones

my head burns
I need a cigarette
Stop staring at me
I won't look at you

I'll have another drink
Fade into another world

If we make eye contact,
I know that I'll forget
Crimes your hands commited
Lies your lips whispered

how many times
can we play this game?
we beat each other
over and over again

I'll have a few shots
Do my second line

If we make eye contact,
I know that I'll forget
Crimes your hands commited
Lies your lips whispered

I can't get enough
I can't wait for this
night to be over
And I'll wake up
Hate myself, and
carry on...

If we make eye contact,
I know that I'll forget
Crimes your hands commited
Lies your lips whispered

Can we
just be
friends?
No, can
we *really?
until someone
comes in and
you're my
territory
again

I'll **** her.

Let me
teach you
a lesson
about addition
and subtraction
you can take
anything away
but attraction

*I'll **** her.

I knew it was close to the end of the world
I saw the fire in the sky, felt it in my bones
I felt myself being judged for all my sins
you were a devil, with an angels wings

we are never gonna see eye to eye
your always looking down on me
I'm always looking up to you

I always knew that you were the knife
so sharp, so cold, never turn my back on you
I felt you slipping under my skin
no pressure applied, effortlessly cutting me
into a million pieces

I knew the battle was lost long ago
ran out of ammunition, a cause to believe in
I caught myself surrendering
swallowed my pride, got on my knees

you were never really gonna change
you're like a shapeshifter,
you always go back to the way you were

I always knew that you were the knife
so sharp, so cold, never turn my back on you
I felt you slipping under my skin
no pressure applied, effortlessly cutting me
into a million pieces

she called me in a panic
begged for me to answer
So I did...
And we sat in silence
oh, I remember that
crazy free fall feeling
just waitin' to hit the bottom
and I seem to recall
the worst part of it all
when you spit in my face
told me I'd been replaced
all I wanted..
was to feel something
but you never let me.

now you love me
now you're sorry
now you finally see
now you want me
I'm sorry but I
-I feel nothing

she said "c'mon
take a chance on me"
well, I did...
and it cost me everything
even if I wanted to
I've got nothing left to give you
and I seem to recall
that you "never loved me at all"
what's wrong with you?
that just can't be true
all I wanted...
was to feel something
but you told me to forget it

now you love me
now you're sorry
now you finally see
now you want me
I'm sorry but I
-I feel nothing

I'm not perfect,
But I'm perfect for you
I don't deserve it,
But I deserve you
I don't want to die,
But I'm dying to
I'm not good enough,
But I'm good for you

Time heals
Broken hearts
Time steals
Beautiful parts

I don't want to fall in love,
I want to rise above
I don't wanna get over you,
I want to get under your skin
I'm not getting over it,
I'm so much bigger
I'm never gonna change,
But I'll never be the same

Time changes
stubborn minds
Time strangles
us from behind

I can't stand
to take this lying down
I won't bend
so I can wrap my mind around

love steals
more than hearts
love reveals
our ugliest parts

I don't think, I know
that I'm smarter than you
you think I'm weak
cause ya saw me lickin' my wounds
now you're prowlin the woods
lookin' for little miss not quite as good
but I got news for ya baby
I'm the big bag wolf
and I'm coming for you.
when you sleep, I'm out
feedin' the animal inside of me
you think I'm crazy
but you haven't seen **** sweet baby
no, I'm not howling for you
I'm devouring the innocent
to fill the hole you left
but I got news for ya baby
I'm the big bad wolf
and I'm coming for you.

a heart cannot be open
until it's been broken
all of my lovers hands
still touching my skin
I am an oracle
you come to me
expecting miracles
tell me who do you pray to
now that you goddess
has abandoned you
tell me who do you pray to
now that your goddess
has been proven fictional
no blessing ever came
without a deep sacrifice
the pieces I am missing
are lodged in someone else
I am a galaxy
you search me
for signs of life
tell me who do you pray to
now that you goddess
has abandoned you
tell me who do you pray to
now that your goddess
has been proven fictional

I know why I woke up angry
can kick you out of my life
but can't get you out of my dreams
still trying to believe that
you would actually do this to me
I just don't understand a move you make

do you see me sometimes
when you close your eyes
it is worth being hurt
or fighting for?

I dance like a woman possessed
trying to shake your memory
but everybody sees
you inside of me

oh the things that go unsaid
that bounce around in
my head like a bullet
the last thing I needed
was another hole to fill
why didn't you just shoot to ****?

do you see me sometimes
when you close your eyes
it is worth being hurt
or fighting for?

I dance like a woman possessed
trying to shake your memory
but everybody sees
you inside of me
