Love does not extend beyond the eyes
Peace dies within, while chaos freely thrives
The world is angry and blind,
Let’s all chant to Mother’s cries
As god cracks the sky,
Watching people die;
The peeping Tom of our lives
Getting off to why, please oh- whys
We’ll return to earth but won’t help her to survive.
This evil strives- the one that exists
Because of our minds.
Who decides our self rights?
A self-righteous man writing while he’s high
On a ladder, that we’re not allowed to climb.
Daisies rot
Between strands of hair and time,
And our blood clots
As we raise fingers in a peaceful sign.

I'll buy a gun
To have an escape plan,
My body's a map and I
X'd out my heart to mark
Where the bullets will land.
Blam! Blam! Blam!
Here I am,
Lodged betwixt bars;
Imprisoned and sickened
In a cage that twists and ribbons
Deeply buried feelings that won't stay hidden,
I'll wrap them up all nice and pretty-
To gift you this burden;
To: Your Corrosive Love
From: My Heavy, Metal Hurting.
I feel lost in your anti nitty-gritty,
Icky, sticky self-inflated tendencies.
Being picky-picky
As you host greed,
And it eats away at you
Like a parasitic disease.
Would you help me if I said please,
If I bruised my shaky knees?
Let me praise you like a king
While you're slowly floating
On Ego's hurling winds
If you don't stop blowing,
You'll pop that hot air balloon head.

Look, I don't want my sun
To burn all this dread
I'm just trying to end my weeks
At the arcade, man.
Let my hands hold sticks of joy
Instead of stones you throw
At my frame's brittle bones;
In games I don't stay dead,
I'll make an escape quick.
Just pray my fingers don't slip
And I press the wrong button,
In a lickety split moment.

I can feel my skin crawl over my bones
migrating slowly away from the cold,
on top of ghastly holes
that fill with dust when I’m alone,
aching to be
In your comfortable hold.

Where does all this time go?
It seems to twist, bend, and fold
Evading my fingers
That stay stuck in desperate pose,
Clawed and reaching for the unknown.

Waiting for something to fall into my palms,
That’s safe for keeping in these wounded arms.

Tell me you still care,
Let me know something is there;
To stop this skin from searching for your warmth,
To cease the oozing from these wounds,
Allowing them to heal up and close.

-SLuR

When I'm full of condensed regret
And the clouds are spitting down
Blame, shame, and hatred
Like shards of glass they embed
Inside my worn, dusty skin;
Leaving pores wide open
To leak out staining sin.
Streaks of black and red
Pave my road of death.
It's raining inside my head,
And my brain is an umbrella skeleton,
Crooked and rusty, offering no protection.

Do you hear the haunting echoes?
They whisper through the walls,
Cries and calls of distortion
Flowing gently in empty halls.

They whisper, through the walls
As flower petals curl, peeling away.
Flowing gently in empty halls,
Like the lightest breath of spring.

As flower petals curl, peeling away
Faded paint flakes slowly fall.
Like the lightest breath of spring,
On my skin the echoes crawl.

Faded paint flakes slowly fall,
Revealing all my hidden shame.
On my skin the echoes crawl
Enveloping me in words of hate.

Revealing all my hidden shame
To you, the voices call.
Enveloping me in words of hate,
You crumpled me into a ball.

To you the voices call
"Another permanent mistake"
You crumpled me into a ball,
To waste, with things you could have erased.

-SLuR

I hide all this pain inside of my eyes,
Every day the tides rise;
I'm going blind,
I'm going blind.

My happiness is just a blurred outline,
Carried on the wind's cries;
And so am I,
And so am I.

In clouded sky, I can't explore my mind
My head's low, my head's high;
Dip, dive. Dip, dive.

I'll endure the flood that's bound to arrive,
Or drown inside my eyes;
I'm going blind,
I'm going blind.
