Donning stones around the heart
Speaking rocks with flames
I don't believe those rocks are so tough
I think they are made of clay
To me, that rudeness is a sham
The hatred is a ruse
I know her heart is tender
The sliver of the moon
She bathes in her armor
In her mind, it's bulletproof
Her cracks are more visible than she thinks
I can make her emotions move
I know young love moves her heart
And children warm her soul
I know injustice boils her blood
And she loves her dad more than he knows
This girl, she bakes at midnight
And swears up the walls
Lazy as a log, she is
But is there when duty calls
This girl, she is imperfect
She has no idea I breathe
I want to hold her hand at night
Letting my love soften her heartbeat

Think you're above the beasts on the ground
For your conscience and souls
Your capacity to judge
Yet what of you when push comes to shove?
Killing in the name of "love"
You sink beneath the dirt
On which you step
Lower than the creatures you deem inept
Yet your pride keeps your mind aswept
Born a miracle and you ruin your gift
Wicked ingrained, you can't help it
Beneath those with four legs and more
For we have a choice, and we choose to ignore
Only through death can we be cleansed
Only the love will take away our sins
Only through death can we receive life
Only with Him, will our hearts see light

I'm not a big girl
Don't sit there and tell me
That you're strong
When tears flood your eyes; self inflicted tears
You're a liar
You throw your head back
Like you know more than me
But I know you

I know you regret the summer you were released
I know how you wish and prayed for a quick release
I know how you wailed yourself to sleep at night
Hating yourself for what's inside
I know you inside and out, through and through,
Better than you

And I know how you crumble at the drop of pin
The breath of a name
The memory of a face
I love how strong you try to be
Yet we both know you're paper thin
With a heart so pained, I'd hate to own it
Because of how much you destroyed it

And how much it destroyed you
Remember the day you decided?
That you knew what to do?
That you could erase it all?

I remember that day
As clear as you
They found you swingin'
And your mother screamed

I love how strong you tried to be
Yet we both know you're paper thin
With a heart so pained, I'd hate to own it
Because of how much you destroyed it

What's in your heart
Is not me
In my heart
You're everything

In every vein
You pump through
All my veins
Contain you

In every thought
Your face is seen
All my thoughts
Are of you and me

In every tear
Exists my pain
All of my tears
Falling like rain

Every piece of me
Longs for you
Every part of my essence
Wants nothing but you

Every piece of the earth
Can fade and rust
But if you are by my side
I won't take a second look

Every breath I take
Wants to call your name
Every place I look
Wants to be your face

But I must remember...

What's in your heart
Is not me
In my heart
You're everything

And I simply do not see
How I can care for another
For you're all there is to me
What I feel for you is marrow deep

I find it somewhat amusing
When the phrase,
"Hell on earth,"
is used

When "Hell on hell" is such a more accurate substitute.

"Don't do it. There's always another way."

"You could've said that yesterday. You could've said that any day. Now it's too late."

"It's never too late."

"Look, there's no other way to escape."

"Please don't. Think of your family and friends."

"Time heals all wounds. It'll heal them."

"Kennedy-....NO!"

I couldn't hear her over the wind.

The most beautiful words I've ever written
Crumpled on the napkin I threw away
Every word described your face
Every line screamed for you to stay

Thrown away cause I had to leave
This place, I hate it so much
Can't survive without a touch
Can't survive without a love

Put a bullet to my head
Cause I've met my fate
By the time you see this,
It'll be too late
