there was lipstick on your lips it was obvious that you were in my neck i bit your cheek then you screamed when i woke you said you had the strangest dream we were wrapped up in your sheets my back was drenched in sweat i wanted to reach over and hold you i was afraid of your warmth most of the roads i know are backwards we got lost but we still had a lot of fun i dropped you off at your moms house we didn't talk much and we didnt hug i stuttered words that sounded stupid calculating every sentence as it left my mouth we can draw pictures on the ceiling and take them down when we lose all feeling (everynight i stare at the ceiling seeking validation for senseless acts senseless sadness tracing your shadow with salt swallowing through your open mouth spilling your secrets letting our blood flow together as one unit in one house cracking holes in the drywall until all the light gets out)

you think you're so cool you think you're so tough but your weak logic isn't enough what do you want to know? maybe i'll tell it to you but first i will make you beg put down your false lens and i'll speak the truth there's nothing happening halfway with it halfway there halfway anything and anywhere

hazy sunday 03:37
hazy sunday sleeping all day i should get out but my body won't let me trapped in here like placing two mirrors in front of the other, we just do what we're told figuring out if i'm a man or a woman time is on my side but neither appeal to me i wouldn't lie if you took the time to say that you cared about what's growing inside of me i suppose that it's 1 am and i suppose that i could be drunk again i suppose it might make me numb and free of feeling but thats not what i wanted it's never enough i want to sleep and never wake up

who made these bones who picked them out too long too thin sometimes i wanna feed them to the birds- in a metaphorical sense you feel me? i can't sleep no wait i can't sleep i can't see am i closing my eyes or have my poor decisions finally rendered me blind run with the angels my dad says when i die i'll fly when i die i'll fly run with the big shots my dad says when i die i'll fly when i die i'll fly run far from here and when you get there please tell me the time

june 11th 04:01
June 11th 2014 I made the observation that if today were the last day that I ever saw you it would be the perfect way to say goodbye. As we sat above the treeline watching cars scurry about you remembered that you left the oven on earlier in the day and promptly left. We hugged and parted. It's been two years now and I don't know where you went or who you became, but occasionally people will ask me about you and how you're doing and I will always respond with "good" even though you may be living in absolute hell as far as I know. Knowing you, you're probably just fine. Your personality was like the sun, lighting every room you made yourself at home in. I woke up this morning with a knot in my chest and I did not know how to untie it I looked through my blinds and burned my eyes Slipping my fingers into the flesh of something that once breathed too and reminding myself that in some alternate universe the breathing flesh would do the same to me A puppet on a string will know only once that it too is trapped and continue living No more sun No more booze No more fun times Nothing more to lose No more money No time to waste No more long nights no short days I'm all used up I'm all used up I can give you my love But I'm all used up

mold 02:40
staying home taking vicodin watch the mold grow swallow up my skin coughing up your taste tar drips down my face yeah i like it i never changed im still a waste I'm still awake trash counts the days throwing my life away tacks for breakfast tough like my fathers made i don't want to work today I've got a lot of games to play hide in the closet until the sun goes away

pumpkn man 02:10
Fetch me the knife Hollow me out and Fill me with light I'm the pumpkin man Or at least I'll pretend to be It rained that night I swerved out And over the lines Head on You came to me and in the dark i confused your face someone i thought i knew forever ago

inseqts 08:13
Everything will fall into place Don't worry about the future I think I'm in love Says the needle to the suture Did you see them too Did you see them dancing Did you hear their calls Dancing
