Brown temples
Avid, too sore for sense?
Background music, finding what will...
A look of devotion, for a tooth called suspense?

Black wishes
Turmoil is a vaguer clique
Of comment's, sigh's make God's fishes
Just a rue to understand what is...

Grey orbit's
Of miasma, found in a suggestion's field
Known by sight, a bird has wit's
Another bird has seen the sun, and it's yield

Green future's
Vicinity to unity, the poor
Is realm to *****, word's of impurity
Set amid tree's, worth their wars

White death's
Would we save a child's shadow?
Regret as hot, as marvel's lead
Meant only with yesterday's yawn, are we that we are, mellow?

One day I felt down, alone and lost,
There was nobody, people just didn't know,
You came along and you made my world a better place,
I knew you were special, I knew I could trust you,
But, the thing was, you weren't who you made out to be,
You were liar!
I couldn't open myself up,
You make me feel angry
Next time I know that people aren't who they seem,
I know to think: can I trust the people I know
After all, the world is a cruel place!

To say you would always be there,
To say you would always give me advise,
To say I believed I could open myself up,
It is all a lie!

To think you were real,
To think you told me the truth,
To think you wouldn't think bad of me,
It was all a lie!

You made me feel better,
You made me feel like someone was there,
You made me feel special,
It was all a lie!

You now make me feel worthless,
You don't realise what you have done,
You just acted normally,
You're just a big lie!

All my friends are heathens.

We live in sin, we die to spend,

the gold…

Were hopeless, were homeless,

Wandering the roads.

All my friends are heathens

Slaved by gold.

We're gutlessness, were soulless

Filled with woe.

There good men, were bad men.

Filled with greed.

Acknowledge the sin that Lies in me.
Inspired by Falloutboys Heathens suicide squad.

Fight to escape
A vapid pull
Settle for orbit
Scream along
Twenty times
The speed of life
Seemingly still
Still we fall
Down
