You can’t truly understand the world,
until you’ve seen it.

idk how to live when all I do is die
every day I'm always someone new
just gives it time
time to realize all the demons in my mind
is anyone even by my side?

time to fall apart
to drown in the dark
can't seem to find the light
that everyone talks about

if only I could find the missing link
what would it take to be free?
standing at death's door
I don't wanna cry anymore

these demons
chasing me
no escape
from reality

I don't wanna cry anymore
my heart never felt so sore
if you listen closely
you can hear it in my voice
the demons they live here
deep inside my head

it would be so easy being dead
based off of falling in reverse - the drug in me is you reimagined

This disease struck me
Like a brick on pavement
Hard

Everything was
Perfect
Then that brick came along
And with the slightest movement
Destroyed everything

“Count it
Perfect it
Measure it
Clean it”
The voices say

Why can’t I let them go?
They keep repeating:

“Count it
Perfect it
Measure it
Clean it”
Why won’t they stop

“Count it
Perfect it
Measure it
Clean it”
I don’t understand

“Count it
Perfect it
Measure it
Clean it”
Someone just HELP me understand

This disease is about
Perfection
But it's the biggest
Imperfection about me

you can find it

in the cracks of the pavement
where the light casts
no shadows

in the corners
elusively small
tried and swept

in the eyes
of the child
against timeless change

in the ink
spilled and swirled
into infallible words

in the hair
silver in the light
facing the night with a glow

in the air
a sigh, a prayer
a frosty breath of warmth

in the tear
rolling down your cheek
a sign that it’s still there

don’t lose it.

we won’t let you.

you can find it in there

in you.
it’s never too late

even when it is

find it.

then it won’t be.

You don’t decide who
Will make your heart race.
The corners of your lips just
Upturn so suddenly
That you only notice your smile
When you step forward and feel
The cement  pieces
Of a shattered frown
On the ground beneath your feet.
