These Chords Mark Our Significance To Stay As Staples Of One...

Have you ever seen snow in summer?
Has the rain ever felt so cold?
Swollen lungs and raw palms
Grasping for my last breath
A stuttered plea
Probably don't deserve it
It will not make a difference
I counted on you for this
What a waste
I made a promise to you that's nothing new
I won't give in this time we'll make it through
I cannot feel the same every time we had met
Tracing hearts in the ashes of a world so cruel
A forged and forgotten tune I would sing to you
Harness what's been lost at any cost

Pulled out some pieces of my fucking hair, tried screaming “help me” but nobody cares. And I am not strong, I’m foul mouthed and fucking ignorant. Two years later I’m not different: still made of pieces that will not fit, forever fucked and too dramatic. I wear my heart upon my sleeve like I did when I still eighteen, and goddamnit it gets the best of me. One thing I’ve learned since coming to terms with moving on is no matter what I used to have: it’s gone. Pull out my fucking hair, I’ll die alone and not care.

Midwestern Self-Depreciation - Morning Effort

“Crown me in silence…
Dress me in sin…
And pierce my faith again…”

They said pain would purify 
But it only made me colder.
Wrapped in thorns they called divine,
As the blood slid off my shoulder.

Their scripture kissed with acid tongues,
Their prayers stitched in disguise.
I swallowed light, they called it truth 
But all I tasted…
Was lies.

Thorns on my head, blood in my mouth,
Lies like nails, driving doubt.
I wore the crown they made for gods 
But felt the steel of every fraud.

You preached of grace while burning books,
Guilt turned into gold you took.
I knelt in fire, I begged the stone 
But heaven stared with hollow bones.

The choir weeps in perfect pitch,
While sin drips from their holy switch.
A lash, a lie, a kiss, a cross 
What’s salvation if I’m the loss?

This is not redemption — this is rot.
I gave my soul. They gave me… what?
A crown of thorns. A book of rules.
A grave dug deep. A world of fools.

Thorns on my head, blood in my mouth,
Lies like nails, driving doubt.
I wore the crown they made for gods 
But I broke it off with spiteful jaws.

Thorns… blood… lies…
“And none of it was mine.”

Thorns, Blood, Lies
