I want to rip off your skin
Along with your clothes
To tear into your body
Like I'm searching for gold
I'll swim throughout your blood stream
Until I find your soul
Then I'll bury myself
In your heart where I belong

We kick and scream
And try to run away
We set up road blocks
To stay at arms length
We'll lie from the heart
And fight with our brain
Until we realize
There's no hope while afraid

If only we knew
That we are enough
We would come together
Instead of beat each other up
We found the holy grail
But its just an empty cup
It's a ****** mess
Two people so desperate for love

How sad it is to be me
Stuck in the same old spot
Staring at the same old scene
Birds call me home; but still
They always leave
How terribly sad it is to be
A lonely old tree

How sad it is to fly
Never knowing where is home
No concept of time
The clouds always blocking me
From the rest of the sky
How sad it is to be a bird
Cut off from such heights

How sad it is to be me
The one little cloud
Above the vast Pacific sea
Whose only job
Is simply to weep
Until my existence
Drenches everything under me

How wonderful it is to be
To witness the birds
The clouds and the trees
If only they knew
How much they mean
How we are all naturally
Connected to everything

I have bullets in my head
Shuffling around causing thoughts of death
Clouding everything in front of me
They are all that I can see
Blood or bullets I cannot tell
The taste of metal won't leave my mouth
If I could feel or even think
These bullets might be the end of me
Instead they linger to breathe and breed
To ravage my body like an infectious disease
They hold me hostage and sing me to sleep
My bullets are always there for me
They cause me pain and bring me peace
Without them I would be alone and empty
The world seems so dark and dreary
But the bullets in my head are always screaming
All they want is to be released
If I let them go I will have nothing
So they patiently wait for me to give in
My bullets know they are my only friends

No where is where
I want to be
All alone
with the birds and the trees
To live  
in a vast space
reliant on nothing
This place
is full of doubt
and I want to be free
No where is where
I want to be
Instead I'm locked in
the chains of potent misery
I've given up faith
in our disease ridden society
Egos cutting throats
and leaving us empty
No where is where
I want to be
Nothing will change when
I'm no where to be seen

Like lightning
Your entrance is strong and silent
So full of energy
Your brightness is blinding

Like lightning
You come with such vengeance
Claiming your territory
And consuming the horizon

Like lightning
You seem to be all around
Instead of all at once
Only parts of you are reaching out

Like lightning
Teasing the poor trees
With your faraway kisses
And songs in the breeze

Like lightning
You leave as quick as you arrive
Breaking into pieces
And burning up the sky

Today I woke up in the future
I was alone and everything, changed
No traces of you anywhere
Still, everything felt the same
Your scent was gone
And the photographs were missing
There are lifetimes between
Where I was and where I’m sitting
But my eyes meet with memories
And they dance in my head all day
Until I fall asleep in the past
And you’re there with me again

I want to live somewhere else

Somewhere I’ll enjoy the air I breathe
Not this layer of poison floating over the streets
Somewhere nature flourishes and there’s life in the trees
Not where it’s designated by steel and concrete

I want to thrive somewhere beautiful

Somewhere love is present and brave
Not trampled by greed, resentment, and hate
Somewhere people don’t need to be saved
Not helpless and hopeless and full of dismay

I want to go somewhere far away

Somewhere that is quiet and calm
Not filled with distractions and brainwashing songs
Somewhere there’s no such thing as right or wrong
No fear of life and foolish laws

I just want to go somewhere that feels like home
Somewhere that I’m not so alone
