awake, but still tired

chasing threads back to where you were born
i’m awake but I’m fraying at the edges
pull me tight and peer through the seams
i’m terrified of what I could be
picking at the thoughts
false perceptions of all my flaws
stitching up my mind
seal the cracks before I’m swallowed whole

turpentine ease the scene
help me wipe the slate clean
finding comfort in empty spaces
writing words just to fill the pages
laid out on the ground
a semblance of a broken creation
right before you drown
you’re screaming at your peripheral vision

i’ll just keep on searching
for a deeper meaning
behind these thoughts and feelings
entropy erase me
static fills the mind
with synapses collapsing
and the figure in the mirror
is a different person
isolated in the noise
within the imposition
of these boundaries
all around me
craving validation
feel the music take me
touch the hands that made me
i’ve never seen this side of me before

i’ll just keep on searching
for a deeper meaning
behind these thoughts and feelings
entropy erase me
static fills the mind
with synapses collapsing
and the figure in the mirror
is a different person
isolated in the noise
within the imposition
of these boundaries
all around me
craving validation
feel the music take me
touch the hands that made me
this must be my good side after all

not my good side

hold me close
feel my cold
something's falling
hear the weather beat against the window pane
steal the warmth
after the heavy rains
let the quiet go
descending through the morning haze

i’ll lie awake
in the morning light
never knowing   
always longing after dreams of a brighter day
hear the thoughts
thunder in my ears
let the quiet go
gentle hope for a better way

and I could stand before you
and I could take another guess
and I could stare right past you
but did it get so bad that now your dreams are slowing
and I could tear right through you
stop to take a peek inside
but I won't wait here for you

i just want to lie here and just waste my precious time
(hoping for just another surprise)
felt like staying inside but I couldn’t tell you why
(felt like I could have died)
and if it hadn’t gone this way then you’d be holding me
(let's say goodbye, goodbye)
one last spiteful line then you become absolved of the heart you cut out of me
(bye)

let the quiet go

don't worry

breathe

Let's go out sometime 
It's so nice outside 
Watch the birds in mid-flight 

Our feet stepped in time
Your eyes piercing mine 
Couldn't remember the colour of your eyes

Now since hallows night
Just can't bear the sight 
When we can't make it right 
Don't want one more fight 
Your words over mine      
Should know when I need to try 
Didn't need reasons why


I saw us grow old
Miss your hand to hold
How could I be so bold 

Let's just wait a while
See how times pass by
Hope we can last through the summer
Want this to last forever

It's So Nice Outside

“I’m calm” you scream
Mark that moment on my sleeve
I’ve got some bruises to share

Hy head is banging
My eyes they’re stinging
I’ve got some bruises to share

Skin iridescent 
As I forget every lesson 
I learnt when humanity was stripped away 
You once treated me different 
Now all I am is a skeleton 
Broken capillaries filling me with fear 

Ahh! 
Filling me with fear 

I’ve got new bruises to share
