Instinct
The first thing you did when you were born was take a deep breath of cold air and scream at the top of your lungs.
Put down the screen.
There is a whole world out there that will cut you and scrape you and bruise you.
The balance is immaculate-a line between pain and pleasure so fine
Learn to enjoy both
Enjoy everything
A starving man always sits down to a feast
Teeth are tools
Hands are tools
Eyes are tools
What does that make you?
You put yourself in a prison
With the things that you think will make you free
Look at you with all your toys lined up in a row
You will beat my head in with a stone when I try to play too
Would you like a million dollars?
Ten million?
How much money will it take to make you happy?
Drugs coffee cigarette opiates filling up the void
Piece by piece
Stay on the conveyor belt
How much more beautiful does the world becomeif you would only look closer

Elise
I thought i'd be better
without you,
but it's just getting harder
as the days pass by,
the clock ticking fast,
my heartbeats racing past,
your face burning in my mind,
the time is making me blind.

I thought i'd be better
without you,
your soul burning bright,
sends me shivering in the night,
as I rock back and forth,
praying for your words to reach me,
wishing that you'll want to keep me.

I thought i'd be better
without you,
my lungs cease to breathe,
my eyes in searing pain
as my mascara tears fall.

I thought i'd be better
without you,
feelings growing strong,
knowing I can live without you
makes me want to never be,
makes me want to stay,
but not the way that you want me.

I will have to remain without you,
will I fair? *I will have to try.
