I'm being killed
I'm being attacked
It's entered my bloodstream
It's too late to go back

Someone who thinks they're saving me
They don't know what they're doing wrong
With a grin on their face, a skip in their step
I don't know if it belongs

Blood on their hands
Over lines of weeping widows
Sins behind their eyelids
Safe security behind stained glass windows

Is it selfish to live?
Is it selfish to love?
Am I a witch spreading seeds
Growing into flowers.

So tired of being on top of the world.
I want to be small sometimes...
The whole world is in my hand.
I'm too large to fall into someone's arms.

Is it selfish to love?
All my empathy, new
Helpless.
I'm not selfless like you.

Cocoa, where has the time gone?
It feels like its been a lifetime
And also no time
at all.

Dont wait for me

Dont cry for me when im gone

'Cause im right here
And you dont even say hello

On. Off. On. Off.

Gone.
Here.
Away.
Invisible.

Working.
Sinking.

I would just stay off.

I’m an angel.
6 black wings surround me like a spinning feathery arrow, breaking sound and light.

Eyes stare from inside your own head, thousands, millions, uncountable.

My presence stretches from the center of the milky way to behind your very own eyes.

Thousands of pieces.

Unearthly sounds pierce your ears, splinters between your every cell.

Widening. Shaking. Hear my voice, now.

I love you.

breath is straying quickly
now its quickly gone
the window to every lonely school night
in those days gone

flickering in lights of bugs and empty doors
crawl between the spaces of my own remorse
sleep to get away and wake into a night
this hellscape isn't what i take in through my eyes

take away and look the other way to say
a little is all it will take.

i dont wanna wake up but i have to go
when you wake up from a nightmare you feel so relieved

i wake up into a nightmare and now its all i see

EVERYONE'S TO LOVE AND THEN ALL COME APART.
TEAR THE VALVE AND DRINK THE BLOOD.
ALL COMES UNDONE.

TREAT THE VERY GROUND WITH COATED BLEACH AND PAINT.
KNEEL BEFORE YOUR HATE AND TAKE THE THINGS YOU'VE DONE.

TONGUE CUT OUT THE MOUTH
SCREAM AND TAKE MISTAKES.

LOVE AND COME APART.
ALL COMES UNDONE.
