Lyin strewn out on the altar
I almost forgto her
Dont mean to bother
But im short that last dollar
Mistook the shade of my collar
Was ripe for the slaughter, not really a scholar
No gentleman callers
Then i recall
That i am the author
Placin myself
In the mouth
Of a monster
This is a history
I can still alter
Dont call a doctor
Submerge me in water
Act now, limited time offer
Make princes of paupers
Youre next on the roster
Last call for departures
Frantically practicing postures
They’re deaf to my hollers
Vanishing smaller
Swore i was a goner
Then i recall
That i am the author
Placin myself
In the mouth
Of a monster
This is a history
I can still alter
Dont call a doctor
Submerge me in water
Still they come back for my copper
These cloaked in black stalkers
They skulk and they saunter
Our tremors their fodder
Looking through glass
I am signing their charter
Just ten short years on their
List of marauders
Then i recall
That i am the author
Placin myself
In the mouth
Of a monster
This is a history
I can still alter
Dont call a doctor
Submerge me in water

Will you ever amount to anything
Is there really anything to amount to
Force myself to smile
It’s a trick of the trade
Makes me laugh at the
Absurdity of living out these days
Another red light
I can feel the lurking
Presence of
The other beings They’re all staring at me thinking why is she
Skulking through enemy territory
But then again
Sometimes i feel like a princess buying peas
Beloved by my people
They are taking to their knees
In aisle three
Placin flowers at my feet
And i think how sweet,
Wait a minute
i am not supposed to do this anymore
I won’t be made a prisoner of this war
Yes im a human
Yes i belong here
Livin in a fanstasy
Or a cloud of anxiety
Only takes me further
From reality
Further from you
And i want to be with you
So please remove me from your list of absentees
We can pass this time together
Throw some rocks into the sea, I must concede
Youre not the ones who did damage to me

The lost
04:34
|

|
Crestfallen creatures
Homesick heroes
Wading in water
To heal their bruised souls
Gathering stones
To place gently in pockets
Calming their quakes
These pieces of earth
Where do you come from
I cannot remember
Equations won’t solve it
But thanks for the thought
I’m just glad that i
Found you here waiting
I see in your eyes
That you understand
I don’t get it
The beauty in sadness
It stings in my core
Yet without it im lost,
Maybe we should just
stay here forever
I agree, Let’s just wait
for the moon to confirm

Gargoyles

We will guard the castle
We will haunt the stairs
We will clear the gutters
Gargoyles
You may not hear our wishes
You many not hear our heartache
We are only waiting to
Rest our weary heads

Why
She cried at the moon
I don’t understand this
I do not believe this
I will not survive
The afternoon
This body is false
I do not recognize
My own hands
I don’t understand
I might as well end this
I might as well leave here
Why’ve
They done this to me
I do not trust you
I do not believe you
Don’t hear you
I can’t
I won’t
I won’t
I won’t
I restrain myself everyday
Tryin to behave
Tryin to pass for you
Will someone just see me
Will someone just hold me
Trouble is
The longer that this goes
The lonlier i get
Searchin blindly
For the reset
But my hands
Have gone numb
All of my regrets
Flashing by
One by one
Who is this person
I’ve become
Who is this person
I’ve become
Pick up the pieces

Graveyard

Dug myself out of the graveyard
Didn’t realize i was dying
Climbed atop the highest tree
Looked as far as i could see
Said this time it's gonna be about me
Drafted all of it on paper
Drew the lines up logically
Maybe this time i’ll remember
To watch out
For ticks and trolls and thieves
But then i
Realize
You can’t plan for the feelings
That unfailingly arise
So i cry
On for miles
Wondering why all my efforts run dry
Patience my child
One step at a time
Collapse in the arms
Of your friends
This is not the end
Look what you’ve done
You have made it this far
Dont turn back but if you do
I’ll come back for you
Pulled myself up by the bootstraps
Confirmed the thickness of my skin
Trading water out for gin
Silencing the might-of-beens
Said this time i’m gonna win
Became an accidental villain
Residing in a darkened steam
Fortifying my defenses
Redirecting all my senses
To confirm my quarantine
But then i
Realize
You can’t plan for the feelings
That unfailingly arise
So i cry
On for miles
Wondering why all my efforts run dry
Patience my child
One step at a time
Collapse in the arms
Of your friends
This is not the end
Look what you’ve done
You have made it this far
Don’t turn back but if you do
I’ll come back for you
I know it hurts
I know it stings
I understand
I’ll hold your hand
I know it’s hard
I know you’re scarred
It comes in waves
I think you’re brave
Patience my child
One step at a time
Collapse in the arms
Of your friends
This is not the end
Look what you’ve done
You have made it this far
Don’t turn back but if you do
I’lll come back for you
