i demand the thunderstorms to appear.
i come in waves of dust and flood.

i am a feared being,
one whom my followers know not to tempt.

the blood that you give flows
and i close my eyes, accepting your generous gift.

i believe that what defines the goodness in people
is the attention and love that they give me.

worth her weight in gold.
lucky lucky.
better dress her up nicely.

its coldness defeats her;
she crashes like a star.

great potential in her feet
how they weep and harden
how they tear the land apart.

the singer sees her as inspiration
not as a human, but as something
lesser than.

identify her as something wondrous.
but that would be lying.
identify her as something human.
but that would be lying, too.

see something that shines in her.
bend it. break it.
shift her into something
unrecognisable.

you will be happy soon.
did you sing? did you cry?

I.
there have always been two constants;
i am weak, and you are strong.
you are dark, predatory eyes,
watching and memorizing my every move.
i am the snow, pure and untouched,
before the blood fell and ruined everything.

II.
these fantasies taunt me constantly.
a glimmer of what i might accomplish
if only i wasn't created from stone.

III.
i ruined my own body in an attempt to prevent
others from doing the same.

IV.
i told you that i was a fountain.
you bandaged my arms, kissed me goodnight,
and sent me on my way to unravel,
alone.

V.
anger pours out in a spectrum of colors
i never knew existed.
god is disappointed by what i've become;
he makes sure to tell me so at every crossroads.

VI.
i exist only as a figment of your imagination.
all of my demons come forward
to show you each and every brush stroke
that has graced my porcelain skin.

VII.
prove that my existence has meaning,
and, once you've finished, make sure that it ends.
we both know, without a doubt,
that i don't deserve anything more.

VIII.
it's time to stop caring
about my lukewarm limbs
and get on with your own
miserable ******* life.

IX.
i whispered against your skin;
"when god will smite the ones that have hurt us?"
the look within your eyes answered more
than you would ever dare to say.

X.
i am the ghost that's been haunting you all this time.
i don't know what you are.
sorta wrote this throughout the course of 2 years, sorta wrote it all at once within an hour.

i want away from the body.
i want out of the flesh.
how lovely it will be to know
that when i am separated,
i will not come back together.

i am not part of this vessel anymore.
i refuse the body my spirit.
i refuse the body my joy.
i refuse the body my willingness to live.

the organs are shutting down
and i won’t do anything about it.
the body is rotting
and i couldn’t care less.

my name has lost its meaning by now.
long ago did it fade away.
and did you know,
i let it go?
it was the only thing that made sense.
i needed something to run from.

and i remember asking him,
angus, love, do you have to throw stones?
why not flowers? why not cotton wool?
and he replied as such:

thomas, you keep walking under ladders.
you never throw that salt.
how do you expect me to react?

i love you like
  the sea loves the land:
  far too little,
  much too late.
