so here i go again, picking up the pieces
trying to make sense of an unforgiving species
and it isn't easy, there's no recipe
shattered, a shadow reaching for the rest of me
at the bar with the potions 
eyeing her ciggarette 
fascinated with death in slow motion.
devoted to the ocean -
that sits in a shot glass 
that blasts out any last spot of emotion.
guitar strokes, notes, chords from a keyboard
hopes clasped in the glass where her dreams pour
she avoids living, and would only give me the
key to her heart, just to keep the wind-up toy ticking
annoyed at these feelings
I'm having trouble functioning too
and it's frustrating because there's nothing I can do
there's a pillow where your head lay
a ghost in every corner
a fragment of hope that's been sewn into torture
alone with my thoughts, my home is a fort
it seems i haven't grown and i dont know how to talk
i could be the best thing to save you
but you were too busy looking for the escape route


taste, touch, trust, lust, haste, hate, love
she's building relationships,  just to break it all up
taste, touch, trust, lust, haste, hate, love
she's building relationships,  just to break it all up


and when I met her, I sensed she felt the same
disconnection, a mechanism to lessen the pain
but the light in her eyes are simply lights in her eyes
sucks out my life everytime she tightens her thighs
i wasn't try to cage the bird that laughs n sings
she's an angel by default with skin grafted wings
...a sermon, etched in...
...lipstick sketches burning red
outlining the all the words you've said
you're allowed to stick around
isolation will only impound you
if you want to let your soul grow you know you're allowed too
and i don't mean to clown you
you claim you lost yourself
but, ha, you were lost before i even found you

It was a digital crucifixion,
You’d be sick if; you could witness this crown of thorn bandwidth

Our messiah's are seen in HD. Worship the pixels.
