Everything was clear, everything was perfect I had unlocked my cage and climbed out of your vortex I threw away your roses and planted new ones in my mind But soon those roses wilted as yours came back to life I tried so hard to run away, I thought I could escape I begged the angry sky wizard to redecide my fate But the beast sharpened its claws and it dug into my skin As my black cloud was gaining ground, awaiting my next sin I don't want to love you I don't want to live for you I don't want to need you I don't want to bleed for you I don't want to haunt you I swear that I'm not coming back I don't want to hurt you But I will not eat worms for you I can't let that happen again I don't want to love you I don't want to live for you I don't want to need you I don't want to bleed for you I don't want to haunt you I swear that I'm not coming back I don't want to hurt you But I will not eat worms for you I don't want to help you I don't want to kill for you I don't know why I miss you When our hate always eclipsed our love I don't want to hurt you I only want to kill you I'm done bleeding for you I am never crawling back I can't let that happen again You won't let that happen again We can't let that happen again

I don't want to lie to you anymore But it's hard when I don't know how to live anymore I don't know the words that I can say to tell you how I'm feeling every day My thoughts are spiraling out of control This paranoia has taken its toll The endless cycle's draining out all my feeling I'm lifeless So what's the point anyway It's all for nothing anyway I'm sinking deeper all alone with every day So what's the point A hollow shell Burning in a private hell Alone Am I alive or dead Because I can't tell the difference anymore No hope So what's the point anyway When all I'll do is fade away I'm sinking deeper all alone, it's every day So what's the point So what's the point anyway When it's all for nothing anyway; I'll just fade away I'm sinking deeper all alone, it's every day So tell me what's the point

I've kept my skeletons locked away They're in my closet to this day But still you try and set them free So that you can come and break me This attack won't be my end Because the dead is my only friend Memories Diaries All these things I used to love Happiness Cowardice All these things I used to love And then they faded away Take away my worldly possessions Spend my money at the concessions You'll never stop my broken heart I'll make sure you never get the part So stop now and settle down Or else you'll end up on the mound Memories Diaries All these things I used to love Happiness Cowardice All these things I used to love And then they faded away I've kept my skeletons locked away They're in my closet to this day But still you try and set them free So that you can come and break me This attack won't be my end Because the dead is my only friend Memories Diaries All these things I used to love Happiness Cowardice All these things I used to love And then they faded away

When the sun finally went out cold I started reaching for black holes I let the bugs dig deep into my chest And there, in my black heart, they dug their nests I felt my body growing cold As I became the black hole I swallowed fire just to burn (I want to burn) I let the rust sit in my hands My eyes were always fixed upon the past In fertile pastures where I once had grazed I struck a match and watched the world as it was set ablaze I felt my skin begin to glow As I became the black hole I burned my body at the stake Consuming fire just to burn (Let me burn) I'm trying to be this beacon of light, burning strong for all the world to see I want to love this mess for what it is; it's a wasteland but it's beautiful We're all beautiful We all can be so beautiful We all can be
5.
Soft screaming An endless daze You pull onward And mute the screams You watched the silhouette drifting farther and farther away with each passing day (If I told you I wanted to hurt myself, would you believe me? Just believe me) So now you watch the silhouette, watch it run and run and run into the unknown I'd hoped you'd help me fix me But I can't blame you I know it was hard on you too A yellow river was flowing in your chest I know you thought that you could fix me Yet I still run and run and run and run It's what I know

I’ve been thinking about what you all would do without me around And as far as I’m concerned you’d be better off without me to bring you all down You’ve seen me collapse head first into the ground over the course of these past years And these fences I once built high imprisoning my demons can’t seem to hide my thoughts anymore I’ve been writing these notes in my head I’ve been trying to find the right words I could say God, I love you all so much I’m so sorry for being this way I’ve got cuts on my feet from walking on this broken glass for years I’ve got a hole in my heart from drilling my way into the dark I’ve been dreaming of all the different ways I could go and I’m terrified I’ll do something I might regret I still feel like I’m a failure and my future still feels bleak no matter how hard I try to think otherwise My choreography is falling apart I can’t seem to get my movements back in step This tightrope I’ve been walking along has now become loose string And I can feel it Tonight I’ll lose my patience and hit my head up against the wall And I can feel it My thread is on the verge of being cut And I can feel it It won’t be long before I hit the bottom and I’m laid out on the floor I’m so sick of living like this I don’t want to be sick anymore I don’t deserve all these things I have, I don’t deserve all your affection I shouldn’t be thinking like this but I know I deserve the pain I want to go so badly but I just can’t leave you all behind How could I do that to you How could I be so self-centered I’m so sick of this poison that plagues every corner of my mind I’m so sick of all your questions and answering dishonestly every time I don’t want you to worry but I’m so sick of lying to you I’m so sick of living like this; I don’t want to be sick anymore I don’t want to be sick anymore

I took the pictures down so that I could think straight I’m terrified of what’s to come, I don’t know if I want to see our fate Maybe I’ll do something with my life and I’ll pull myself together Despite these salt water lungs and the abyss in my chest I know this is for the best In the last two years I’ve been cradled here in the eye of the storm In the last two years I’ve come to know this place as my home But this building has been burning down, we’ve felt the ashes come and burn us alive And we’ve spent these last few months struggling to survive I took the pictures down so that I could think straight I’m terrified of what’s to come, I don’t know if I want to see our fate Maybe I’ll do something with my life and I’ll pull myself together Despite these salt water lungs and the abyss in my chest I know this is for the best We tried so hard to mute the noise But the static only grew more deafening We tried so hard to resurrect our christ But we only drove the nails deeper into his hands I wish we could have killed the beast I wish we would have slit its throat I wish we could have stopped the rain I wish we could have stopped the flood But we’re drowning I took the pictures down so that I could think straight I’m terrified of what’s to come, I don’t know if I want to see our fate Maybe I’ll do something with my life and I’ll pull myself together Despite these salt water lungs and the abyss in my chest I know this is for the best But my god it hurts I pray that someday soon we’ll find ourselves We’ll tend to our wounds and learn to live with this But I pray our paths cross I believe in you and I know you’ll find yourself And I’ll change my ways and maybe learn to love myself I believe in you and I know you’ll find yourself And I’ll change my ways and maybe learn to love myself Maybe our paths will cross
