Give me wings
that perish and slowly die
for I wish to know how it feels
to fly
before I fall, wither
and cry

Moral compass
Moral compass heading south
What do you do,
when you can't turn around?
Do we keep walking south
because in this spherical world,
if I walk in that direction long enough,
I'll end up north...
where I should be.

Married to my freedom
I'm married to my freedom
I divorced devotion
I'm in a strong relationship with my vices
I've violently broken up with my virtues
I've cried tears over my happiness
I've shouted in ecstasy over my melancholy
I yelled at my joy
I have consoled my pain
I held the strength in my arms as it withered away
I let the weakness pry itself from my hands
I've let the doubt keep my heart beating
And I've let the confidence keep it at bay
Insecurity kept all of its belongings
Security stole everything from me
I'm married to my freedom,
please don't ever go away.

Untitled
"Another night, another dream wasted on you"
Another night, another thought, another truth
Another memory, another song, another proof...
Proof of my lacking, my inability, my instability
Because not again, this cannot happen, this insanity
No insecurity, just fears, manifestations and abnormalities

We'll make promises that we will never keep
Promises that fleet and float away while we drift off to sleep
Promises that you will forget, that will disappear into space-time
But I don't know any more, where will the lost promises go
The things we said will be forgotten,
but the things we didn't say won't be
The fabric of the unsaid clothes us;
an item of clothing we may never see
The gestures, the way we moved our hands
The way they moulded to create a story,
a story that explained us, that explained everything
in conjunction with laughs and smiles.
Now please, do not worry
while I wait at the pier overlooking
the ocean and the architecture
I will remember, I will remember
and I hope you will too
Promises that fleet and float away while we drift off to sleep
Promises that you will forget, that will disappear into space-time

Don't you fucking see?
That this is the result of my insanity
Traced back to the subtle abnormality
Of all of this bullshit residing in me

Beauty
Let the cold wrap its arms around me
Let me feel its beauty, its intricacy
It's so intimate, yet so distant
So alone, yet not lonely
"Life is an ocean and it moves like this.
So you get what you ask for.
In love with the currents jerking from your hands
All you want, all you're after"
I'm distant yet I'm so close
Simultaneously alone and its antithesis
I'm right there yet I'm so far away
As this mental distance is comforting
The comfort of the cold singing me
to sleep with its sweet song in my ear.
My heart cries its solemn melody in
pure euphoria, yet it is so simple.

Failed?
But I've failed, you see
In my endeavor to succeed
While I lay fetally here, wallowing
In the quick, heavy sea of blue
While the simultaneous revolutions
And the universes intricacies astound and amaze me

Hmm
I still haven't told a soul,
Except the one buried in me
Replaying the moment, the instance
Of that time, of temporary insanity (on my part)

I've worn out my body and mind
Filled myself with delusions blind
Can't you see what's really inside
When there's so much baggage left behind

Conclusion
Scream and scream and scream and shout
The pulses,
the thoughts fly about
But why
must I abreact
In the manner that I have
While the masking
refuses to show
itself,
wallowing in such disdain
There needs to be

Free association
Is that what we all need?
A moment of abreaction
To achieve catharsis
An unconscious expulsion?
The unfulfilled wishes,
the inward destruction.
The manifestation,
a simple reduction
to discharge our insides
a self-induced seduction

Awakening - Yellowcard
Bottoms up tonight I drink to you and I
'cause with the morning comes the rest of my life
And with this empty glass I will break the past
'cause with the morning I can open my eyes
I want this to be my awakening
I give this one to you an anthem full of truth
I tell you now an epic tail of what you put me through
And even though you don't deserve one of your own
A melody a song about the life that you let go
I can't believe that I still care enough to write
Bottoms up tonight I drink to you and I
'cause with the morning comes the rest of my life
And with this empty glass I will break the past
'cause with the morning I can open my eyes
I want this to be my awakening
Yes I miss you still And probably always will
I'm living with a busted heart that I will have until
I find the streangth I know its somewhere in my bones
So pull the curtain up again and get on with this show
At least you know that I care enough to write
Bottoms up tonight I drink to you and I
'cause with the morning comes the rest of my life
And with this empty glass I will break the past
'cause with the morning I can open my eyes
And maybe I will see a different destiny
Like maybe knowing you at all was only a bad dream
I want this to be my awakening
No rest for the wicked they say
Forgive me if I try to change
No rest for the wicked they say
Forgive me if I try to change
Bottoms up tonight I drink to you and I
'cause with the morning comes the rest of my life
And with this empty glass I will break the past
'cause with the morning I can open my eyes
And maybe I will see a different destiny
Like maybe knowing you at all was only a bad dream
I want this to be my awakening

Blizzard
I'm shivering here, in the place of comfort
My spine tingles, heavy breaths shaking as I lay
Withering while waiting for, causes of my dismay
Wondering, keeping my stresses at bay
Staring at the ceiling, is this okay?
Waiting while my limbs twitch and contort
My spine tingles, heavy breaths shaking as I lay
Withering while waiting for, causes of my dismay

how
How is it so,
that humans are subjected
to such dissonant
violence
that churns the stomach
pondering the question as to why
because i do not understand
what gives people
the compulsion
to hurt others so.

Silence
Hearing silence pains much more than words ever could
Why does a lack of words affect us more than it should?
The absence of anything would
And I would change it if I could.

Reason
Here I am, lost in solitary
Desolated, isolated.
The only thing that
separates me from the outside
are petty blocks of wood.
It is so dark, so dark
that my eyes are accustomed
to it. I wait and wait
for something, anything
to give me a reason.
Just a reason.

Freezing
I sat there, breathing
My hands turned to frost
My mind numbed
The air was cold
My hands turned to frost
My mind numbed
The air was cold

Untitled
Just like a chain reaction,
It's set off, firing at the neurons
Triggering a multitude of responses
Twisting and colliding with each other
Evoking thoughts of large magnitudes
Exploding into thousands of pieces
Fragments of some meld into others
Sinking deeper and deeper
That these thoughts become abstract
Eventually one will,
Become reality

This is where I am
Surrounded by such balls of intelligence
This is exactly where I am
With a tiny hint of elitist nature within
Seeps through the windows
Releasing a peculiar emotion
Within such walls, we find aspects of ourselves
We see scribbles of knowledge wherever we are
Thought-producing stimuli is everywhere
To breathe in the rich air
While my heart races
This is exactly where I am

Untitled
No matter the positive sensation,
The feeling of doubt, pervades all
It is a sneaky feeling, it creeps...
Creeps around waiting for my fall
It's almost my friend, right there.
Just laughing, smiling stealing my breaths of air
"I spoke the words but never gave a thought to what they call could mean"
Who knew that every single sentence in my vocabulary would crush all of me
Who knew that every single sentence in my vocabulary would crush all of me
Well sustained breathing, the thought enters while my mouth starts to move
They come out crumbled, shattered, broken while my head just laughs
The unspoken things just rotting until the stench is smelled by my own lungs
It's a beautiful carcinogen isn't it? The very essence of being breathed and sung
Ultimately it will all lead to an inevitability, a certainty, a truth that cannot be wronged
When the only enemy is yourself, springing towards something brighter while you bring the dark passenger along

I can't.
Waiting for the magical hour to strike
So I can ingest this liquid of life
While downing the precious pills
Waiting to achieve the temporary solitude
But the core manifests itself through the organism
I can't explain
I can't fucking explain
Uncertainty summons itself taunting,
Laughing and wandering
"But it's no different"
Such harsh truth
I can't explain
I can't fucking explain
I struggle to finish this stanza
As my thoughts are laid bare
I cannot speak another word
I can't.

Dear 1x
Dear thirteen year old me
Can't you fucking see?
If only you could see,
You would be very proud
of me.
Dear fourteen year old me
If only you could see,
You would be very proud
of me.
Dear fifteen year old me
If only you could see
everything about me
You can prepare yourself
for what will become of
me
Dear sixteen year old me
You can see
the frustration
the impatience
You can prepare yourself
for what will become of
me
Dear seventeen year old me
You haven't learned a thing have you
It's what you're turning into
You can prepare yourself
for what will become of
me
Dear eighteen year old me
Are you proud?
Can you see?
Shifting round and round
Can you see?
Shifting round and round
Can't you fucking see?
What you exactly need to be?
Because you are me
What a change of scenery
While the sun shines beautifully
While the rain pours heavily
Slamming doors angrily
Insomnia induced rapidly
Curling, weeping for humanity
When really,
The problem, you see...
Begins and ends inside me

The Silver Screen
There are movies that play inside
my head
The lens faded, the picture blurry, the
resolution minimised
But the audio track
is clear
in
my head
It speaks, oh it speaks!
The joyous occasion whereby the audio is filled with torment
wrecking the beautiful cognition...
A brutal transition
I hear, oh I hear!
It is externalised, it is self flagellation,
constantly engaging in destructive cognition...
A brutal transition
I profusely repeat my confession of guilt
Yelling at the silver screen
When the blurry film stops and the audio turns quiet
It is empty..
All that is left
is me

The metaphysical organs
The sun shone on the simplicity while our heads were in the clouds
We shared the scent of the breeze while thoughts never brought us down
Basking in the moment, splitting the time into two
The internal clock ticking slowly while the external stayed true
A comfortable silence brew and broke my soul to pieces
A rush of blood through my veins made my heart sound beaten
The gasp of air was only temporary but struck my body down
The pulse was vehement and quick, disjointed my vision
With pure precision I felt I was going to drown
For I can breathe again, only for a moment... A single space in time
Only when I wake myself, resuming the organ which is mine
We shared the scent of the breeze while thoughts never brought us down
Basking in the moment, splitting the time into two
The internal clock ticking slowly while the external stayed true
A comfortable silence brew and broke my soul to pieces
A rush of blood through my veins made my heart sound beaten
The gasp of air was only temporary but struck my body down
The pulse was vehement and quick, disjointed my vision
With pure precision I felt I was going to drown
For I can breathe again, only for a moment... A single space in time
Only when I wake myself, resuming the organ which is mine

Sometimes
Sometimes.
Just sometimes.
Deep breaths
Heavy heads
Flailing in the red
Racing to bed
Sleeping dead
Echoes in my ear drums
Echoes of voices speak
Words repeat themselves in my canals
Anxiety levels rise
My body is an empty hallway
Heavy eyes, heavy head, heavy heart
Iron lungs, silicon nose and plastic ears
The doors swing open
Everything clangs together
It's noise piercing,
Ringing for days

December - Lydia
<3 <3 <3 <3 this band so much. Was so lucky to see this live.
________
So it was four or five of everything, as you are no good.
I saw it through the frame and through my face.
Covering my eyes, because we are nothing,
And never quite the same from a black and white summer.
With photographs that showed our rails and razorblades.
I think it cured my pain, again
Promise you will go down my neck.
Just like those pills and your cigarette
So as my fingers curl,
I move my lips just so you wont have to.
Damnit you clever girl,
Your style is keeping us from sleep.
It's one more and I'm free,
Oh we've been so lucky,
Yeah we've been so likely to lose.
So give in, let's give in
It's all suicide if I hide.
Because you are everywhere I look and in my skin.
I taste your neck and lips just from breathing in.
Let's call it off kid.
But through the window you reach for the cold.
But the door is so much closer,
And the sun has sold itself to the land
And all over my skin. No! No!
Stop it, stop him
So what, so what, we all were all afraid.
So this I swear I know, it's not the chemicals.
You are off my mind I finally got away.
You said it's such a life to remember,
So come on, and we'll sleep away December.
It was you, bringing your white company.
Bringing the night so it seemed.
And we will never sleep again.
So as you walk through the door,
And yell I'm never coming back here.
It's over we are still nothing.

Three
Nearing three
Close to sleep
Crawling deep
Music steep
Thoughts weep
Text is cheap
The feelings seep
The heart beats
Let my breaths free
Time passes, I see
That it is now past three
Close to sleep
Crawling deep
Music steep
Thoughts weep
Text is cheap
The feelings seep
The heart beats
Let my breaths free
Time passes, I see
That it is now past three
