Are we making the right mistakes?
Are we driving the wrong direction?
Nothing is certain but everything’s treasure.
Donuts and dinner to graveyard simmer.

Autumn stars and rising moon,
Rising stars and autumn moon,
I’m just so sick of feeling so blue,
You’re just so blue of feeling so sick.
Skyler M Jan 2018
I wish I could tell you,
That I’ve been tripping on my own feet,
I’ve been falling into a hole,
Of my own making.

The emotions that've drowned me,
Makes me want to tell you,
But I can’t cause you’re too far,
You’re just so far from where I wish you’d be.

I wish I could scream,
Your name and stop playing this game,
I’m tired of falling over your soul,
So won’t you understand,
What I mean?
Skyler M Nov 2017
It's a riddle you're trying to hide,
A name that holds back,
All the secrets that foretell,
My everlasting paranoia.

You sold all your clothes,
Just to get some old beggars dime,
Could you just wait back,
Where I told you not to cry.

It's like you are trying to hide,
Something bigger inside,
The universes wretched binds,
Your pouring burns my sickened neck.

You sold all your clothes,
Just to get some beggars dime,
Could you just wait back,
Where I told you not to cry.
Skyler M Jan 2020
Rain patters down,
Crisp sound, pattern scattered,
Hands dry and safe,
Guts under the tires,
Soaked of mud, wrenched.
Skyler M Oct 2017
Everyone around us,
slowly dying.
If you think about it,
It doesn't matter how hard we try,
We'll always be forgotten.

Well I fell apart right on the starting line,
They jeered and cheered,
As I weeped.
Skyler M Oct 2017
I can't stop thinking about that dream,
I know instantly what it means,
You in my arms in paradise,
But do I act upon it?

Or should I let you be the one that got away?
Should I let you play with that boy?
It really hurts my heart to know that I am scared,
of saying the words to you.

I don't have the courage to walk up to you,
Tell me otherwise what I should do,
Should I have another dream to fulfill my means?

I fell for you way long ago but I never told you,
Cause I know the answer above all else,
Maybe you'll see this poem,
And regret talking to me.

I don't have the courage to walk up to you,
Tell me otherwise what I should do,
Should I have another dream to fulfill my means?

I know I lied to you,
about everything feeling that I have,
I just didn't want to lose you,
You're the only one that I got.

I don't have the courage to walk up to you,
Tell me otherwise what I should do,
Should I have another dream to fulfill my means?

I've walked myself into a hole,
Your love has lost himself,
Can't stop talking about the other girl,
That he separated from.

I don't have the courage to walk up to you,
Tell me otherwise what I should do,
Should I have another dream to fulfill my means?

Now I want to fulfill you,
Make you happy again,
Give you something that you deserve,
Even if I can't be with you.
Even if I can't be with you.
Skyler M Dec 2021
I’m just a product
Of all the trauma,
You raised me this way,
Carry some blame,
Cause I’m holding the shame.

Messy rooms,
Unmade beds,
Dry showers,
Crusted plates.

I’m just romanticized,
You can fix me, I’ll be a prize,
And you’ll hug me and love me,
Till the next time I die.

Messy rooms,
Unmade beds,
Dry showers,
Crusted plates.

I can’t see my floor, anymore,
My room is becoming my tomb,
Just wait I’ll be out soon,
And you’ll see my rat’s nest,
Of disgrace and unrest.
Skyler M Oct 2017
There's a cynical feeling
And it's burning a hole
Though my everlasting soul
When it's evil that lights up the road
There's nowhere to go but down
Embrace your anger and turn it to dust.


There's now a hole
As I'm breaking down
No promises but I may have a soul
Be the one that feeds the demon at the crossroad
Rejecting is the feeling
Cry to the empire, demand your gold dust


Your pen is the weapon, now, grab it before it turns to dust
Is there anything else I could be feeling?
But I'm not so I'm going down
Have you ever felt another human's soul?
They show nothing but the road
In the path they find, a golden hole


Down the rabbit pit
Into a new found soul
Pray for another pile of dust
Dig a hole
How lonely they'll be feeling
Walking that road


Sing out your soul
In the middle of a dirt road
Drop into the hole
Become the drifting dust
Mild nightmares when I'm getting down
Scream for every feeling


Wake up in a hole
Blow the smoke through the feeling
Descending down
On a ledge of dust
I'm not feeling my soul
I'm losing myself on the winding road
Skyler M Jul 2022
Your bones got colder and your blood got thinner
I see you've been cut so you're sure to bleed out,
All the while your eyes are dimmer,
and you are so much slimmer,
You don't have a lot of time until your light goes out.

You beg, "hush now",
Silence from the crowd,
You're wondering how,
You'll take your final bow.
Skyler M Jan 2018
There's something creeping in the dark
Lurking in the darkest corners of my head
I know what it seeks, what it wants from me
And it's going down on my carcass tonight.

I have nothing to my name
So no matter what I say
I'll just be a pile of bones the next day
Nobody cares for the broken boy
I'm an attention seeking *****
I better find my way home before he dines on me.

The violence in the air
Keeping my brain ******* on
Warns me of something big
So I run the way I did when I was born.

I have nothing to my name
So no matter what I say
I'll just be a pile of bones the next day
Nobody cares for the broken boy
I'm an attention seeking *****
I better find my way home before he dines on me.
Skyler M Sep 2024
Interlocked in a knife fight,
Between a hooded figure,
And a terrified child,
Seems unjustified.

Corral every moment,
Corner them into a vacuum-

I was bad,
But bad was all I ever had.
I was scared,
But I had to keep my teeth bared.
I was dreadful,
But maybe I’m just forgetful.

Nothing stops a dog fight,
Two animals, frightened,
Unable to escape,
So they gnash and tear.

Is it their fault?

Corralling the externalities,
Corner them into a cage.

I was bad,
But bad was all I ever had.
I was scared,
But I had to keep my teeth bared.
I was dreadful,
But maybe I’m just forgetful.

And I apologize for it,
It's not the first time,
It's not the last time,
I'm not who I thought I was.
Finding peace of mind from the past and moving on.
Skyler M Oct 2018
Sewing patches of hearts back together,
I'm a fixer boy, but I don't fix your roof,
Line up outside my garage,
Tell me what's the problem,
I'll be there for you.

But now, time has run out,
I've bought all I could,
And killed all I can,
Though the sunlight is seeping,
I know that it will go down.
Skyler M Sep 2021
I'm not sure how else to be myself,
I've learned that growing means fixing,
Everything that is wrong with me,
My character, my mind, my voice,
My schedule, my sleep,
Yet, my choice remains that I'll wander the world,
In search of something else to solve.

Fixer boy,
That's who I think I am,
Fixer boy,
Can't sleep at night I'm just,
Fixer boy.

I'd like to pack all my things,
Drive so far away that I drown,
In the ocean and sleep with the fish,
I'm not meant for this reality,
I just want to be ******* free,
I'm a man made of straw,
Push me over and **** me raw.

Fixer boy,
That's who I think I am,
Fixer boy,
Can't sleep at night I'm just,
Fixer boy.

Devolving into madness,
Every day I notice,
Everybody seems so unsatisfied,
I'm a pathological liar,
A manipulative crier,
So I'll live a life,
Far from the other side,
I won't beg for green grass,
Cause it's meant for men with cash.

Fixer boy,
That's who I think I am,
Fixer boy,
Can't sleep at night I'm just,
Fixer boy,
That's who I think I am,
Fixer boy,
Can't sleep at night I'm just,
Fixer boy,
That's who I think I am,
Fixer boy,
Can't sleep at night I'm just,
Fixer boy,
That's who I think I am,
Fixer boy,
Can't sleep at night I'm just,
Fixer boy,
That's who I think I am,
Fixer boy,
Can't sleep at night I'm just,
Fixer boy,
That's who I think I am,
Fixer boy,
Can't sleep at night I'm just,
Fixer boy,
That's who I think I am,
Fixer boy,
Can't sleep at night I'm just,
Fixer boy,
That's who I think I am,
Fixer boy,
Can't sleep at night I'm just,
Fixer boy,
That's who I think I am,
Fixer boy,
Can't sleep at night I'm just,
Fixer boy,
That's who I think I am,
Fixer boy,
Can't sleep at night I'm just,
Fixer boy,
I'll just **** myself before I'm 30.
Skyler M Oct 2018
Here in the dark I will park,
Inside of my bones will have grown,
Vines of rotten wood,
Well it's just no good,
I'm just no good,
And it's that confidence that exists that brings me to my knees.

With the flesh of a boy who hates everything outside,
I'll fly as far as I can until I hit the wall,
The wall that divides my flesh from my brain,
Could I piece it together well I really doubt so.

Inside of the palm of my hand is a daffodil,
For the creases on my forehead,
Signify the worry and hurt I've felt these years gone by,
Remember me when I leave to hope for the best,
Inside my own nightmarish daydream.

With the flesh of a boy who hates everything outside,
I'll fly as far as I can until I hit the wall,
The wall that divides my flesh from my brain,
Could I piece it together well I really doubt so.
Skyler M Mar 2018
Setting sail for broken moons and drifting stars,
In a sea of faded galaxies,
Pouring into the waterfall that meets the edge of the world,
Greedy jewels inside farewells.

Flooded eyes, won't you meet me here?
Among the broken message men,
They will float around us as we walk,
And talk about the things we knew.

Nebulas bleed into the sea,
Searching our feet for something new,
It appears that we,
Like to lie about what we see.

Flooded eyed, won't you meet me here?
Among the broken message men,
They will float around us as we walk,
And talk about the things we knew.

I know we both wish for the sky to speak,
No matter what we may believe,
I know we both wish for the sky to speak,
No matter what we may believe.
Skyler M Apr 2018
In the pouring light, singing songs of my delight.
Remembering times come to pass, a display in the blue grass.
Parting ways with my day, nothing left to say.
Otherwise, I'd be dead, how else will they be fed?
One charm and left too soon, under the bright red moon.
Heres lies my debt, conjuring what I had met.
Things don't seem as fair, sit down in a woven green chair.
I forget what I lost, but I know that they already crossed.
Lied to me, why couldn't you leave me be?
I never loved you, So I threw my other shoe.
Into the river where I died. Where I lay.
Skyler M Sep 2018
ill follow you,
i will follow you,
hold out your hand,
ill follow you,
i have never talked to you,
but i will follow you.
Skyler M Mar 2018
Stare down the one-lane road,
Inside a thick forest,
The black pavement is uncracked,
Unless I step forward,
The surface becomes broken and foggy,
Occasionally, a car will pass somewhere across the mountainside.

The forest lining the road sings songs,
Songs that remind me of things that nobody knows about,
To thick for me to leave the road,
That's okay, I'm getting there.
Skyler M Oct 2017
We've reached the end of the earth,
Where the ground has dug up by centuries,
I'm taking your broken wings and hanging them up by the door,
When the lights fade,
And you're by my side,
I'll be hold you up,
as I drown in the dirt.

There's nothing like it now,
The feeling,
Of knowing you have my eyes,
You're guiding me home,
From the black forest.

Can you feel the midnight?
Creep into your veins,
I'm keeping them from red to blue,

For you.
Skyler M Oct 2017
Founded,
A toy of a women.
Her eyes of gold,
and tongue of thorns.

She eyes the cigarette in his open mouth
His limbs sprawled onto the floor
The lungs he once spoke from, now charred with tar.
Skyler M Nov 2020
There's a soul inside the reflection,
Ocean eyes that bring destruction,
A tsunami wave against his treasures,
Living on higher ground to avoid detection.
Skyler M Feb 2019
Down the hall,
Through the home,
Round the corner,
Slip and skid,
I'm a ******,
And a sinner,
Bump and burn,
Up the stairs,
Climb the walls,
Scratch the door,
Glide and grind,
I'm a chump,
Watch me dump,
All my friends,
Away, away,
Into the trash.
Skyler M Feb 2022
Blinded by a setting sun,
8pm on a summer night,
You say to me,
"My, my, look into those eyes."
Looking back at you is the sun,
His eyes are deep down brown.

Why won't you leave?
I'm begging, please.
Blinded by a marital dream,
Don't see the harm we receive.

Spend the midnight hours,
Rummaging through the old,
You say now,
"I could be free. Maybe one day I will be."
Looking down upon you is...


Wretched hands that don't believe,
Who am I to speak,
Except I'm the one who felt it,
Searing. Burning. Cutting flesh.
To the bone. Through the marrow.
Screaming till the throat is ******,
I know who I am but I'm not real,
An imaginary character to the sun.
Did I wrap the moon around my..
broken and bruised finger?

Why won't you leave?
I'm begging, please.
Blinded by a marital dream,
Don't see the harm you receive.
Skyler M Jan 2018
There's the smile on your face,
It keeps me here on this earth,
Don't underestimate your life,
When it keeps me alive.

I think I know where I'd be,
Without you in my life,
I think I know who I'd be,
Without you keeping me here.

You ask yourself all these questions,
About the skin you're in,
friend, look at me,
don't you dare,
Take your life away from me.

I think I know where I'd be,
Without you in my life,
I think I know who I'd be,
Without you keeping me here.
Skyler M Dec 2017
I saw your face the other day,
Fighting the darkness,
Capturing more light.
I talked to you, listened to you breakdown,
Myself in shock, I've never seen you falling down,
So, I'll hold you tight tonight.

Suddenly the night fades away,
You're no longer in my grasp,
You've faded away into the misty air,
My light, my only friend.
Gone.

Scouring my only mind,
For your voice, for your hands.
But I cannot reach the other side,
As I cannot see your flickering torch.
No more.

Suddenly the night fades away,
You're no longer in my grasp,
You've faded away into the misty air,
My light, my only friend.
Gone.

So I hold you in my memory,
Taking it back and rewinding all the sounds,
That you made when you weren't done.
I take that and place it in a friend,
Who I wanna save once again.

Suddenly the night fades away,
You're no longer in my grasp,
You've faded away into the misty air,
My light, my only friend.
Gone.
Skyler M Jan 2022
I don't think as well when the noise goes around my cranium,
Through my ears and into my skull where my brain resides,
So when the sounds begin a journey that subsides,
All of the thoughts come to light,
Less frightened of silence.
Skyler M Oct 2017
I'm bound by the sound
Of my own beating heart, let's start.
Not a battle, but a way to drop and rattle.
It's taking me back up to the top, now, explain everything from the beginning, stop.
Dropped all the pieces in this room, a makeshift tomb.
Twisting names and games.
Through no shame, you gain.
The inevitable urges to tip yourself over all of your verges.
Naming rhymes and taking the climb.
To the undifferentiated child, we can go wild.
Skyler M Oct 2021
I've got to move far away,
This dreadful town has me in tears,
A new sunset to appreciate every night,
Holding me down with an existential weight.

There's no telling that I'd do, friend,
To pack my bags and *******,
Against everyone's wishes,
I'm a failure to touch or view.

Its selfish to ask for help,
And I'd be begging to be killed,
Without it.

Give me a sign,
from the love of nobody's life,
I'll sign my life away to the metal,
Rind my teeth against bones,
Just to feel justified in my selfishness.

Don't ******* help me,
I'll do it all on my own,
Just get drunk, smoke some ****,
Burrow deeper into the molten hot sand.

Maybe I'll write a story about how I learned to survive,
Then reflect back on myself to see that I've still died.
I'm still figuring out how to die.
Figuring out if I can die.

Cause it's all futile,
To ask for help, I'd be a manipulator,
And if I called home,
Would anyone answer and take me seriously?
Skyler M Dec 2017
Brimming with fear,
The future is near,
Only so little time,
Until I just might meet my demise.

I sold my clone,
To make myself a humble abode,
In the cobwebs and lies.
Sing me to sleep,
So maybe I can forget tomorrow.

The fact that time went by so fast,
Gives me the chills,
Cause I don't know if I'll be keeping this up.
Everything seems so slow,
Going with no flow.
Skyler M Nov 2017
I don't believe I'll be making it far,
And my feet they will step in all of the tar,
That litters the unholy ground below,
I do believe that my body has been found,
Under the middle midnight stairs,
I am a suicidal case.

Don't you forget me,
Don't you leave me be,
Don't you let go of me,
Cause I have Galaxy Vision.

The sun won't rise in the deepness of my eyes,
So the galaxy replaces your silhouette,
Then I can remember that you were here,
To grab the harpoon and write your name,
And to forge a note of confession just for you.

Don't you forget me,
Don't you leave me be,
Don't you let go of me,
Cause I have Galaxy Vision.

Oh, the shadows, they scream,
Repeating little simple lines every night,
Of how they can foretell,
That you will never care,
I am only a burden that rests upon your shoulder.

Don't you forget that I am here,
Don't you leave me alone,
Don't let go of my hands,
Cause I have the stars aligned for tonight.
Skyler M Mar 2020
Gen X on A, B, and C street,
Hating themselves and the world they reside,
Shut down and shut up by the gens outside their own,
Unable to be set free from these dying sparks.
Skyler M Jan 2018
I found my soul inside your ghost,
Every hold deeper than the last,
And even though you might've lost yourself,
I can feel your heart still beating.

the sun will fall and we'll fear what we don't believe.
A call to arms to live in constant forlorn words.
Despite the tide closing in,
you don't see the ocean apart from the sky,
Say goodbye.
Skyler M Oct 2017
Tell me what's on your mind,
I know you're quaking in your boots,
You wanna leave but I have a hold of your hand.

The sudden urge to hold you tight,
So sorry if I accidentally break your bones,
And if your moon turns to ash,
I'll be the one with the white torch.

We'll be okay,
Cause I have you and you have me,
We can be happy,
We can pretend everything is okay,
Nobody's talking crap,
Nobody's pushing us around.
Skyler M Mar 2018
Daggers of glass in my feet,
Expressing myself as best as I can,
Still stumbling through freezing snow,
With glass in my feet.

I'm slowing to a stop,
Beginning to not care what I become,
The glass digs itself deeper once again,
I can walk a thousand miles,
and get nowhere.

That's the idea that I'm presenting,
The glass digging into my bones,
I know that I have nowhere to go,
Lie to me again, will you please?

The glass under my feet hurts so bad,
But I'm walking underneath the surface of the ice,
Maybe I'll find a way in the snowstorm,
but under the ice, I'm frozen.
Skyler M Mar 2020
Nagging me, in the back of my spirit,
Is unsure feelings of something similar to anxiety,
Kick up the pace, lead me to the back porch.

Let me see what you've made in the grass,
I see it now and its hurts to look at it,
A glass gun, humming it's song.

Solidifying, am I?
I wish it felt like I was solidifying,
Maybe If I was solid, I'd feel complete.

In the backyard you've got a small raygun too,
Harmless but I'm still attracted to you,
Stop pointing that at me.

I don't wanna try anything anymore,
Been pushing and doing for hours to years on end,
Don't look at me with those eyes.

Father, I love you
Mother, I love you
Brother, I love you
Sisters, I love you
Grandmas, I love you
Grandpas, I love you
Friends, I love you
Pets, I love you
Exes, I love you
Abusers, I love you
Music, I love you
Drawing, I love you
Writing, I love you

Life, I hate you

Leaning over kitchen sinks,
Bubbles up my arm turn pink,
I'm pretty sure I'm dreaming,
Thankfully so,
I don't ever want to leave this dream world.
The only realm where my dreams come true,
I'm so sick and tired of waking up with nothing,
The feeling in the pit of me is why I'd like to die.

Don't take my words lightly,
I'm a stupid, teenage dreamer,
I sent myself into the stars but reality is catching up,
I'm not enough and never strong,
So believe me when I say,
Go home.
Go home.

Stumbling over the bulging pavement,
Roots burst through and grab my legs,
I know now that I am dreaming,
Don't stop dreaming please.
Cause when I leave this world,
My demons come after me,
They tell me that I will never make it,
When I'm 18 I know I'm not living anymore.
I'm not ready to build my home yet.

Don't take my words lightly,
I'm a stupid, teenage dreamer,
I sent myself into the stars but reality is catching up,
I'm not enough and never strong,
So believe me when I say,
Go home,
Go home.
Skyler M Sep 2019
I've gone to show,
The kingdom's golden throne,
What their intentions mean to me,
And how I wanna believe.

Yet, still I stand here, alright but alone in spirit,
I'm trying to find salvation inside this flowing heart of mine,
Changing it's tune with every turn of events,
If you really mean anything to me, you'd always be changing.

I have never traveled so far for you,
Though I've shot you all three times,
I promise that I just might come around,
In time...

I won't hold myself down,
By the natures of science laws,
Or maybe I will,
It depends on my mood for the day,
I'm just feeling the need to apologize.

Yet, still I stand here, alright but alone in spirit,
I'm trying to find salvation inside this flowing heart of mine,
Changing it's tune with every turn of events,
If you really mean anything to me, you'd always be changing.
Skyler M Feb 2018
It’s time I said goodbye, to you and your pursitless strife.
It’s fine, I’ll say goodbye.
Skyler M Apr 2020
I’m not tired but there are sleep spots in my irises,
And I’m contemplating tomorrow’s leftover dinner,
Whether I’ll feed them to the saint at my gate or to the sinner on my porch,
Soon enough the sun will come up and break through,
Potholes strewn on my street show me that things have gone down.

Treading lightly cause I might wake up those dogs,
Nowadays I see empty collars,
And my footsteps hitting the ground as I’m running,
Hearing the barks and howls of what cannot get on the streets,
Good luck, headache.

Gravel crunches beneath the feet of the liar,
Now on the paper that is clenched in his hand,
Spells the time of his vision being blinded by bathroom porcelain,
Cuts and bruises that few, yet so many would understand,
Yet he fell and now he falls again.

Treading lightly cause I might find a weapon,
Nowadays I see that weapon,
And my heartbeats hitting my chest as I’m running,
Hearing the rumbling of thunder and lightening,
Good luck, headache.
Skyler M Oct 2017
Go to sleep
please.
I've got to sleep
please.

The messages in my brain
won't stop ringing and ringing and ringing
but I cannot pick up the phone
cause my hands are shackled to my sides.

Go to sleep
please.
I've got to sleep
please.

The cold war,
just replays and replays and replays
but I cannot push pause
cause the button is gone.

Go to sleep
please.
I've got to sleep
please.

Gift me the serenity,
The serenity to accept,
The serenity to accept,
What I cannot hear,
What I cannot see,
What I cannot touch,
What I cannot taste,
What I cannot smell.

What I cannot hear,
What I cannot see,
What I cannot touch,
What I cannot taste,
What I cannot smell,
I cannot accept.

I will never accept,
My face in a crowd,
Of a darkening dawn,
Hearkening to the trumpets,
Regal against the manifest destiny.

Gift me the serenity,
The serenity to accept,
The serenity of concept,
Fleshing out the ability,
Well it's all so trivial,
Trivial is the sound,
We are the sound,
******* when did we,
When did they deserve?
When did they ever deserve?!

Gift me the serenity,
The serenity to shut the **** up,
The serenity to accept my place,
Accept my place as peasant,
Cut away my hearing,
Cut away my sight,
Cut away my touch,
Cut away my taste
Cut away my smell.
Cause then I can accept,
I can find the serenity,
To accept what I cannot change.

For now I find pure anger,
Anger in your complicity,
In your utter serenity,
******* and your being,
******* and your money,
******* and your serenity.

We're in your walls and beating down your doors,
Mountains of the peasants you bleed dry,
Coming back to trudge against the policy,
Of complete and utter serenity.

God gifted you the ability to find serenity in what you could change.
A wise rain from the East comes in with vengeance in its mind,
A pool or two in your backyard turned bitter and tasting of iron,
The liquid creeps into the cracks of your astroturf and seeps into your showerhead.

Now bathe my friend, bathe in the blood of your inaction,
Your passive income ***** the prisoners and bombs the citizens,
A biography written upon the charred flesh of the children,
Tell me how you're God, you're God now, yeah you're gonna grant everyone the serenity to accept what they could fight to change.

When the sky fell from itself and into the ground,
I was brought to the world's ledge,
The colors turned grey and stale,
And whenever I looked up,
All I saw was my guardian angel grinning down on me.

The monsters in the earth started to grow,
Wrapping their arms around my legs and dragging me backwards,
These beasts didn't let go of me,
I was beginning to cherish the rotting of my teeth.

I feel like I talk about colors too much,
When I try to explain my place,
I'm missing the feeling of suffocating,
And I don't know why,
The guardian angel has been found under the front porch,
It turns out he was one of those beast,
I'm not too proud.

The monsters in the earth started to grow,
Wrapping their arms around my legs and dragging me backwards,
These beasts didn't let go of me,
I was beginning to cherish the rotting of my teeth.

What the future holds,
Is something that scares me,
Cause it's one of those things,
Where I wanna be,
Something,
Something more,
Sing for something more,
It's just a chore,
But I love it.

Here we go again,
You and I,
Another round,
Can't see,
Through this,
Tiny window.

You said,
"Get the-"
I cut you off.

Here's to,
Your nonsense,
I'm 19 now,
Im over it.

Through no fault but mine,
Ive eviscerated my hope from youth,
Do you believe my manipulative lies,
Cause I sure hope you know I'm telling the truth.

Who I am,
Is who you tell me,
Insult me and break these teeth,
My gums will bleed.

Goodnight,
Tomorrow is not my last day,
Though it'll feel like my first,
I'm sorry I'm so stubborn,
I truly don't mean you harm.

Heed life's call,
It calls for your beating heart,
That's all,
**** your mind,
**** your guns.

You use your guns to blow out,
Creativity and imagination,
Dare to dream,
and dare to scream.

It belongs inside the furnace,
Now burn it,
The black revolver,
It sits by your bedside.

Terrifying as it may be,
There's a pretender to replace your gun,
Beneath sheets you plead,
Your life on the line,
because your mind won't be silenced.

You use your guns to blow out,
Creativity and imagination,
Dare to dream,
and dare to scream.

Half-alive, dragging ourselves through the trees,
Our legs seem to be missing.
They might be up and living our dreams,
I can feel the thorns scrape my elbows,
Can you feel it too?

Verify if you're real with a wave of a white flag,
From the depths of the undergrowth,
We're getting scratched up by unforgiving roots.

When the blue moon sets over the horizon,
The sun starts to rise and I'm left alone,
The thoughts in my head leave me to be,
Is this good? I don't really know.
I've spent a good portion of my life wondering if i'll even live past 18,
Though the background is static,
Everything in front seems to be happy to be here.

Verify if you're real with a wave of a white flag,
From the depths of the undergrowth,
We're getting scratched up by unforgiving roots.

Changing or cursing- either way,
It's a game we're done playing,
Our legs may be long gone,
Fortunately, you're right here,
So I'll stare at these stars until I figure out you're truly here to stay.

So then i'd stand,
hand in hand,
hoping it goes as planned.

The hair strand,
falling inland,
my left-hand,
reaching for the inkstand.

Hand.

My fingertips are tipped with black,
I'm watching all the books stack,
before I take my life on the amtrack,

I'm getting so much feedback,
brain is swelling and before I know it I the hand crack,
all the voices are getting cutback.

Hand.

If your really understood,
then why are your hands all wood,
they might as well be on fire, firewood.

Hand.

Frost forming window panes in little grass blades,
Passing by I begin to cry,
It's certainly weak but I don't care,
At this point crying means everything to my life.

So I follow spring instead,
When winter is on my tail,
Like a fox to a rabbit,
I could die,
I could very well die.

Jumping off my freezing metal bike,
I let my eyes get coated in a snowy glaze,
Allowing myself to lay in the frosty earth,
Sipping on melted snow,
Wake me up before December begins.

So I follow spring instead,
When winter is on my tail,
Like a fox to a rabbit,
I could die,
I could very well die.

i'm unsteady.
not ready.
air is getting heavy.
are you speaking through the telly?

getting wasted on memories.
it's enough to drain my energy.
and steal all my extremities.

i'm so far away.
you're just a replay.
i've seen this scene, okay?

Gun to my head.
keep wishing I was dead.
my vision's just deep red.

bend over backwards.
to see my attackers.
only to find that I am the Hazard?
