Precocious baby, tempered to a china-blue hue, you
Had not been ripe as a morning glory
Before riots mongered in the plasma of your shapeless head.

Haunting as an omen, you
Had drank from the cord of my cold-blooded artery.
Turned my insides out like a shimmering dime bag
As we fell to the earth.
I remember I was at a friend’s party, drinking & smoking ****
It was also the first time I used speed
I decided to go home, I knew I shouldn’t drive
But I did, it was a lovely evening around five
I know I shouldn’t go over the speed limit, but I wanted to go home quickly
Because I started feeling rather sickly
I became distracted when I got a message on my phone
It was a second, & then all of a sudden, I hit something that felt like a large stone
I looked back in the mirror & there was a blooded body on the road
I raced off because I knew I would be in trouble, a shitload
I get home turn on the news, nothing, maybe it was the speed, it was an hallucination
And maybe my soul won’t be cast down to damnation
The next day my nightmare began
The **** has hit the fan
They are saying it was a hit & run
A mother & Father cry for their dead son
I have never been so confused, so scared in all my life
It’s like I'm balancing on the tip of a knife
Dear Lord, what have I done?!
I get on my knees & pray
The guilt starts to eat away
He had a name, Michael, i know for my sins I must pay
As the remorse has me enslaved
So with all the money I saved
And with a note sent to Michaels parents admitting my sin
I put the tight noose around my neck; it feels itchy against my skin
Can I really go through with this?
Just one kick & ill go into the eternal abyss
I have to do it, I may be young, but I know you can't live with so much guilt
It eats away & you begin to slowly wilt
After a few deep breaths, I kick the chair
Its not like in the movies, was my thought as I struggled midair
My eyes blur & everything is starting to fade
I then turned my mind on all of the misdeeds I've made
Thoughts & memories of my family as I succumb into the nothingness
My soul starts to depart as I slowly lose consciousness
I start to feel good; I begin to relax & no longer afraid
I know the dept can never be repaid
Now that I'm decease
I hope the guy’s parents find some peace.

Vices hold me in a grip
living is a ****** up game,
I mash buttons
until I bend and flip
breakdown, take another hit:
I’ve relinquished
my prime of life
wishing it was
someone else’s fault
that I’m stranded on this island,
this is why I succumb to
vices

It started as a wild ride
that turned into the spins
a religion of motion sickness,
wanting to stop
but always caving in:
it spirals through my mind
filling damage to the brim
emotions are meant
to process here,
now they only
dissipate in chagrin,
as rueful ignorance catapults
this living hell to
greater highlands
without having to lift a finger:
my self-inflicted violence,
a byproduct of
vices

Left with no
rationale to care,
only a small bend in time
where the spindle
came undone;
it's here I revel in
self-despair,
as a loser who
always failed to listen,
a captain without a vision
ready to drown in
cognitive dissonance
because it’s easier
to believe a lie
than to accept how life is:
where are my
vices?

***** to get you loose
From this noose
Called ‘life’
Coke and a smoke
Adrenaline and hope
Popping pills
Just for the thrills
**** and speed
Cause you to want be free
Then some brown
You’ve had enough
And just want to escape what’s around
You do it to forget
With regret
But the only real drug in life
Is having life left
Caddyboy Mar 17
Sitting idly on the bench
A plume of smoke was in the air
Everythin' was feeling near
Concealing my fear



I was cold enough to feel
Yeah my buzz was wearin off
Was our love ever real?
Course it was I'll go and scoff



Can we go and crack the sky?
Yeah these birds were always real
Feel your tail coiled round my thigh
I guess we share a common zeal



I'll hold you tight my only friend
I'll always love you till the end
I'll light your blunts forevermore
I'll always share im not a bore.
This is a song about my imaginary friend. Pretty sad to think about honestly
I awakened myself with a start
and crammed my medicine down
Opened old with fresh wounds
hunting myself with a pack of wolves

My soul choked within the morning
as it crawled to my daily tasks
Performed them standing on my head
when the wolves went to take a nap

(see me)
                See me running while I sleep

(tease me)
                   Tease me with that slab of meat

(please me)
                     Please me as I feel no pain

(free me)
                Free me with sweet insomnia again

Lulled me to sleep with soft panting
I opened mine eyes within your dream
where stones and metal ease the pain
Holy eyes closed in unholy sleep

The night stampeded like oxen
My soul dimly lit your face
My home now this haunted keep
since I never woke again

Just try to pull me from my bed
and flush my medicine away

Try and close my open wounds
and put a lead on the wolves

My sleep will only get deeper
The dosage will only get higher
The wounds more infected
The wolves bigger and faster than you

(see me)
               See me alive when I awake

(tease me)
                  Tease me then let me wholly partake

(please me)
                    Please me by letting me feel again

(free me)
                Free me with sweet peace again.
