Just Breath
Under every puddle of water there is a wet spot
That was once dry
For every keyhole theres a key
Unlocking treasure inside
every heart that starts bleeding
was once a heart full and whole
And closed mouths don't get fed
Nor do fools with no hope
Around every corner is another corner
That will continue to lead you where you go
breathing is the bridge between body and soul
and understanding is to know
so just breath

Crying
no breathing
panting my chest as if im bleeding
me neck chokes up
my heart throws my gut
elbow dropp into my knees
water finds my face
my knuckles hit my skull
why am i doing this today
my insides hurt
my outsides show this
my stomach feels of nausia and filth
my brain is beating a sad red
the phrase choofooked it up a bingo sings tunes in my head
how the hell could you ever make me feel like im dying
because of you i cant stop crying

Life Is A Battle Within
O wild and cruel hatred
fleeing the battle inside my head
i was brought up
to be put down
i was found to be pushed around
let us take a toast
to the passing of a ghost
let us drink our viens red
till we have forgotten the battle we fight in our head
rise against the hypocracy
rage against the system
fight for crazy
and make life listen
make it see your not so stale
prove to people you are not frail
do we know the battle
understand what it is
while we are all locked in shackles
trying to figure out why we live

Love
love is not enough
love is not even love
without a happy glove
love isn't defined as specific
hard to tell if im in it
love is strong for me anyway
not so careless to give away
based on like lust envy
maybe its an eccentric energy
cant tell you it for any reason but my own
you want me to do it or just go home
forcing me to decide what i feel
as if what i've felt has grown
do you want me to decide on a whim
im sorry but i cant just give in
i guess im going to have to go
trying to turn me into a puppet show
pulling my strings to get what you want to
but maybe this is so hard
because i dont love you

Blurry
my guts are steel
strong enveloped in my body
dealing with another day
trying to handle whats fake
whats real
decisions decisions
im a empty bucket just fill
with my reality phased
rough times not a thing to say
and the places my head go raged
i beg to put the lethalness in my mind to lead
to shift off this crazy blurred red
and let no words in this body
go another day unheard when said
not talking to myself, but ill go on
until i rest a trigger finger pulled gun to my head
with those happy thoughts and cheap talk
as i think about things that i oughtta do
i try my best to rest peacefully instead

Little Memory
her shadows make me think
her sunshine is dull and blunted
but i would have her anyway
as i stop from my blink
too stare into her face its bright red
she sleeps till the end of day
always going on about the brink
and never turning down in bed
she's there with lots too say
i miss her in that moment
i wish i could give it back
or have her back
but ive come to the conclusion that she's gone
and if wish my feelings for her where gone
i wish memories of her where gone

What I Do To Her
she's an adhesive liason
giving her vindictive criticism
but i miss the way she was
way back when
back to before she gave in
to something for me
to being everything i created her to be
back to before her heart turned to a blizzard
my hands are cold my face is frozen
but its my fault because i wanted the choice
she has chosen
i watch her tears turn to an icecicle
dropping far past a wicked fury in her eyes
she use to smile and have the sweetest dimple
know she cant feel or cry
she use to be happy
i dont know what she's turning into
since she met me
and i dont know what i should do
to get her back to

Gone
I lick the smoke from gunshots
In memory to my best friend
Who fell dropped
Yea memories can be hard to hold on to
while friends complaining wtf does a friend really do
but i still watch the bullet fall from the sky
still i fall to my knees ready to cry for them
it keeps getting harder idk why i cringe
and i keep acting like i am ready
To go on through these days im living life heavy
im not withstanding through my long fall
feet ramming into the ground
life is flaring all around
stomache is like empty tunnels
there goes a memory
like a small dropp of water from a faucet
hitting the bottom of a stupid hearthshaped locklet

Her
she has a stalkish affection
resembling a creepy connection
she has the scariest laugh
im burning in her hellcased trap
she has the meanest glare
when she says things like u dont care
she has the oddest personality
puts her in a different and messed up mentality
she has a dysfunktional mind
brought up from many of a bad childhood time
she has no friends
she surrounds herself with pathetic men
she has gallons of self doubt
she always psychoticaly yelling and putting out
shes crazy enough said
she leaves behind a trail of sadness where she treads
and my life was left in wake of her dread
she has no idea the pain she casues to my head

Waiting For It
when my day comes
i will eat all of that profanity
i will give you back lyrical insanity
for the hope and kindness of humanity
i beg of you dont push or test me
the day i die
will be the day i fly
the last tear i cry
the last person i want to sit by
for the sake of being
is she ready to push back
do something about the abuse and mistreating
on the floor roughed up in beating
open cut wounds deepening
you want to be sad
leave the man f u ck him
you want to be angry
take action in thought
that this dude is crazy
you want to be wild and young
