Scarification [Hurt Me More]
Branded by you
Built a ritual into my mood
Craving as if it were new
Familiar it sooths
I feasted on the after rush
Endorphins anneal my old grudge
A holy lotus in the mud
Implanted in my blood
Break the skin, rub it in
Can you hurt me more?
Cut in deep, make it bleed
Will you hurt me more?
Infinity empowers me
Surgically holding the key
Depression advances with great speed
Devouring all that I need
No diversion
My flesh is virgin
Something’s merging in me

If I
If I could only let go
If I could muster the will to be walking
If I could just look away
Look away from your face from your longing
So many nights
I don’t know what more you want from me,
I just gave you everything
I know the smartest thing I could do
Would be to take one more day
And try again to get through to you
If I could turn you away, if I...
If I could just go to sleep
Without the weight of our world set upon me
If you would kiss me goodnight
I would know I’m not alone in my corner
In the ring at the fight
I have no more voice
I can’t scream or even work up a
Barb to bring you to life
It seems the only thing I could do
Would be to take one more day,
Try again to get through to you

Bombshelter
Push aside all the signs
Of my mental fatigue
Best to hide smile wide
Deflect the intrigue
Great facade raises the bar
All my practiced perfection
Be a star get the car
Ignore rejection
Yeah I build myself a bomb shelter
So I can be myself when I am all alone
Yeah I live inside my bomb shelter
Where I protect myself behind the wall of stone
What you need take a piece
I’ve got slices to spare
Come and feed take your leave
Without a care
What is left I’m bereft
Of the will to take note
I am blessed with the sense
To see the big joke
Should I stay locked away
Would my absence be felt?
Loyalty post bereave
Or would you be in hell
What effect who’d be next
For you to latch yourself to
Am I wrong when I’m gone?
Will you find someone new?

Drown
I gave in today
Surrendered with no shame
Let a moment carry me away
My legs broke under the weight
I drown, drown, I drown in you
You’re breathing for me
While holding me weakly
Your tremors should have forced me to see
Was I not so naive?
Now how can I live?
Once ripped from where I’ve been
You’ve only shown the smallest glimpse
Enough to get trapped in. in you

You Will Know
Imagine myself alone
For the first time in years
I’m walking away from a home
That was a fortress from all my fears
Someday you may hold a grudge
When you’re old enough to reject my love
Thoughts of you like a flood
Like a deluge of blood, I would stay if I could
You’re the first face I see
You’re the last breath I need
You’re the whole world to me
Maybe someday you will know
Some nights after I’m asleep
I am holding you
Like a lifeline to me
The endless falling sees
Momentum slowing
And shadows are going
It may take a lifetime
But just keep me in mind,
Don’t pretend you are blind
I’ll keep extending my hand
For as long as I can
Mine is love without end
You will know
When you look down on your hands
When you find yourself a man
Can you hear my voice as it echoes?
Through you, you’ll understand

Insulting

Insulting
Stalked by remnants of our life when it was good
Hold me here in spite of where my feet have stood
Something in me just won't give you up
Maybe I just don't know when I’ve had enough
Piled on top of years that blur into one
Arguing the same things 'til the point is all gone?
Insulting me, insulting you
It’s killing me. It’s tearing us in two
Pressed into a page a portrait of our love
Perfecting our game face, we cloak ourselves in mud
Stressed into a fit of pointless, stagnant jibes
I just give you shit to feel like I’m alive
Stalked by remnants of our life when it was good
Hold me here in spite of where my feet have stood
Choke down chunks of indiscretions in my mind
Played out like a point of egress that I designed

Blow Away
I can't forgive myself no matter
How I try
I cannot seem to lift my head up
I shut down, when I look your eye
And who am I, no resemblance
Don’t recognize this face as mine
You stick in my vein
Yeah I once had strength but now I wait to...
Blow away, blow away
I try to go about my life
like I did before a part of me died
I force my will to carry me home
where my shadow lives with me alone
my head is numb and it's no comfort
I bite my tongue, caress my gun
and who's to blame I can't live with shame
and I can't wait to...
what do I have to wait for?
why should I subject myself to more?
I’m tired of living the same day
so I turn to dust and blow away

The Lies We Tell
Construct a face
build a will to find
different places and a different time
so far there’s no one who has found you out
keep it down
resist all the urges to shout
We are made of the lies we tell, we are fine
change locations
take a new facade
imitations you have made one more work of art
play it down to the final hand
don’t make a sound
and maybe you’ll have a chance

We Come Away Alone

We Come Away Alone
We hover
Pale in the night
Cold as a stone
So final
We're bathed in silence
Bear naked, exposed
We come away alone
Stale and wasted
Penitent like a mortal slave
Breath stolen, we're shown
We've barely tasted
Sold our faith into a rage
Slashed our wounds to the bone

Breakdown
You said you would show me
When we see eye to eye
You would share your dark side
Deep shadowed hearts on hooks
Was your indication
You pierced the veil of my indignation
And revealed your pain
I break down in your arms and cry
I would show you the part of me deep
As the wounded heart that you allowed me to see
You say I’m no reminder
I’m no contributing factor
But I feel the shame
Don’t think now you shouldn’t
Tell me things to protect me
It’s not the weight of it all that would break me
Just the lack of your flame
I break down in your arms and cry
I would show you the part of me deep
As the wounded heart that you allowed me to see
Had I known the truth
Maybe I would have heard you
Now it’s changed me from all that I knew
