Archaic Innocence

WITHERING
✼:*ﾟ:༅｡✼.｡༅:*･ﾟﾟ･⭑
somewhere, somewhere so far away 
praying i don't stay the same 
i'll let the white noise fade to grey
i won't be so fragile
figure it out
caught myself slipping away 
i don't wanna be 
the ghost in the shell

wore myself down to the wire
i don't wanna be a liar
but i miss my friends 
withering in the winter 
please don't forget her

wore myself down to the wire
i don't wanna be a liar
but i feel like such a coward
so sick, so tired

and i swear i didn't mean it
falling deep into the pit 
crooked teeth on the ground i spit
sleepwalking in the basement
wide awake i'm too patient
but i've spent too much time waiting
salt on my skin i'm still human 
grave robber, give me shelter

am i really so volatile?
keep on whining like a child

wore myself down to the wire
i don't wanna be a liar
but i miss my friends 
withering in the winter 
please don't forget her

wore myself down to the wire
i don't wanna be a liar
but i feel like such a coward
so sick, so tired

so sick, so tired
withering away with no ending
eclipse the dawn i'm never ending
blue flames eat the path i'm a godling
think of me when your limbs get heavy 
light in my bones
i'll find my own way home
winters over still withering

what is it that you want from me?
try my best to be so lovely
feelings that i just can't release
how is it you see in my dreams?

Fairy Rings
✿✼:*ﾟ:༅｡.｡༅:*･ﾟﾟ･⭑
my mind is a void i avoid
evil little darkling
hanging on my heartstrings
i feel nothing 
then too much of something, too much of something

Fairy Rings float around my head
like a halo 
flowers grow from where i have bled

speak in tongues i'll understand
i engraved the blade in my hands
my fate i'll decide
i weave my design like a spider
keep you wrapped around my little finger
hallow words i still feel linger 

Fairy Rings float around my head
like a halo 
flowers grow from where i have bled

in my sleep, it whispers
the strangest little creature
forget my empathy
Gemini, like a changeling
lurking with odd entities
but everything bleeds eventually
and it knows
that i feel nothing 
then too much of something 

Fairy Rings float around my head
like a halo 
flowers grow from where i have bled

elven circles, a portal
i travel inter-dimensional
body celestial
energy is immortal 
and death is just another world
i feel nothing 
then too much of something
too much of something 

High Fae,
watch over me
in my heart so hauntingly 
alone but never lonely.

I WOULDN'T TREAT HER LIKE THIS

i've been watching her
between two doors
stuck in the hallway
it's overwhelming 
watching the light fade from her body

too soft, so pale
can't you see she's getting frail?

i see her distress 
when he tells her to undress
he's getting viscous 
tore apart your pretty dress
i know you hate this

i haven't slept in weeks
this isn't who i wanted to be 

i wouldn't treat her like this
i wouldn't treat her like this

i know it's bad for me
stupid moth drawn to the flame
clipped her wings inhaling kerosene
it's okay
call me a fake when i suffocate
sweetest affliction 
too scared to try another version 

when did scissors become teddy bears?
sharp comfort when i'm scared

i wouldn't treat her like this
i wouldn't treat her like this

guilt on my wrist 
severance for the way i shouldn't have acted
by myself i've got a vengeance
do i weigh on your conscience?
i know i do 
i wouldn't treat her like this 
so why do you?

i wouldn't treat her like this.

*:･ﾟAttention ‧͙⁺˚*༓☆.｡✧*:･ﾟ

he smells like cigarettes and flowers
wonder if he burned all my love letters

dragging me back and forth across the globe
tied to you 
baby doll
so pretty when she's blue 

i'm still drawn back to him
got my name tattooed in red on his skin
sweeter than the devil
kissing his left shoulder 
so he can't forget her
evil girls are better

look at what you started 
two of us like magnets, knots and glue 
i can't get you 
out of my head 
or my mind
happens all the time

told myself it's wrong 
then i wrote you song 
so you wouldn't forget her
evil girls are better

i love your attention 
true religion 
maybe i'm the demon
craving your attention 
i want your attention 
craving your affection 

true religion 
maybe i'm the demon

Attention

SEVENTH ✴ ⛧
✴ ⛧
lying in wait for it
gave you a taste for it 
so obsessive
i'm not one to be begging 
infatuated
faithfully wanting
your hands 
around my neck 
blurry vision
i wanna be 
whatever it is you've wanted

there's too much distance
let me close it
haunting your head wide open
dedicated to the seventh
sinking into the feeling

blackout 
i'm seeing heaven
so strange 
i know you like it 
i've seen signs of the seventh
infatuated like possession

thoughts turning violent
sinking my teeth in
slowly dissolving
you're not one to be asking 
sick of waiting
but i can be patient 
let me live
inside your skin
holy confession 
i wanna be 
your only possession 

there's too much distance
let me close it
haunting your head wide open
dedicated to the seventh
sinking into the feeling

blackout 
i'm seeing heaven
so strange 
i know you like it 
i've seen signs of the seventh
infatuated like possession

i've seen the signs of the seventh
holding me close
this feeling i can't let go
i've seen the signs of the seventh
worshipping me like religion 
haunted hearts cracked open 
so strange 
i see me and the seventh 
meteor showers
blurry vision 
like heaven 
only got eyes for the seventh

only got eyes for the seventh
only got eyes for the seventh

SINKHOLE

Summer limbs fading away 
Following October you feel the same
Grinding teeth, soft bladed gaze
Took a heart and tore a soul in two 
Scattering pieces of you 
Talking to walls in my bedroom

Now there's a hole in the ground that fits my body like a glove
Would you pull me out the sinkhole if I gave you all my love?
Sorry I'm too good at forgetting 
But you're too good at forgiving me 
For all the stupid things I'll do again

I can be your villain 
I'll let you be my weakness 
Kissing your wounds and bruises
Promise you won't regret it
Then I bite down 
I think you could cleanse my appetite
You make me wanna empathize
Won't admit it's complicated
Holding on to your resentment 

Now there's a hole in the ground that fits my body like a glove
Would you pull me out the sinkhole if I gave you all my love?
Sorry I'm too good at forgetting 
But you're too good at forgiving me 
For all the stupid things I'll do again

There's a hole in the ground 
That sinks my body farther down
Tried to claw my own way out
But I've forgotten what I've found
You're too good at forgiving 
I'm so good at forgetting all the things 
That you still hate about me now.

Sinkhole

spice + iridescence ✧⋆°｡❀⋆°☾✧˖°༻

saw right through 
but i couldn't reach you
falling in
to your open arms again
when i'm feeling heavy
wishing i wasn't leaving
bite your tongue
i know that you'd let me
you make me feel so pretty 
wrapped up in your bedsheets

wish i wasn't 

leaving for somewhere far away
kissing someone else
makes me ill
makes me think about
when i have you to myself

think about you all the time
i don't care to stop myself
sending me over the edge
spice and iridescence 

spice and iridescence
better than any pill you've taken 
far away but i'll be waiting
catch a flight i'm feeling restless
caught me in the wilderness
wanna be domesticated
heart beats like i'm nervous 
rain falls like liquid static

sterling silver on your necklace
you make it easy wish it wasn't 
wish i wasn't 

leaving for somewhere far away
kissing someone else
makes me ill
makes me think about
when i have you to myself

think about you all the time
i don't care to stop myself
sending me over the edge
spice and iridescence 

you're waiting patiently 
i'm begging for it 
howling at the moon in crescent eclipsing
every dream i have is haunted
feeling like i'm being hunted
tunnel visions
spice and iridescence
you let the light in now i'm blinded
