Before you breathe I'm your heartbreaker,
I deserve to meet my own maker,
I deserve the rage for I'm your joy taker,
Before you breathe I'm your heartbreaker.

I can't handle it anymore,
You're travelling too far,
Into my walled up heart,
Well it's par for the course.

Before you ever get to know me,
I'll misdirect you into your own mind,
I want to know you inside out,
Don't bother asking about mine.

Before you breathe I'm your heartbreaker,
I deserve to meet my own maker,
I deserve the rage for I'm your joy taker,
Before you breathe I'm your heartbreaker.

I wish I knew what it would be like,
To find it safe and sound to speak aloud,
All the pain and discomfort, I am heaving,
Onto the concrete floor at the thought.

Drug me until I'm spun out,
****** up and unintelligible,
Maybe then I'll finally let you in,
All I need is to know that I'm not me.

Before you breathe I'm your heartbreaker,
I deserve to meet my own maker,
I deserve the rage for Im your joy taker,
Before you breathe I'm your heartbreaker.

Joy taker.

Heartbreaker.

Joy taker.

Took me by surprise, realizing I'm a shocking mess of human,
Breaking down, bit by bit all my defenses and chasing,
Gonna miss out on the family home but do I care?
Yeah I do, quite a bit, everything in my life confided at once.

This is where I'm meant to be,
He is who I'm supposed to see,
Dad, I'm coming home,
I'm just only 18- but even the devil can see,
That I still want to hug you and cry.

Missing out on love, that's okay cause soon I'll arrive,
Everyday a new one, a new day that resides beside you,
I'll learn to grow up, By your side and inside your home,
Remember me, I did what we've been dreaming for years.

This is where I'm meant to be,
He is who I'm supposed to see,
Dad, I'm coming home,
I'm just only 18- but even the devil can see,
That I still want to hug you and cry.

Staring off into the distance,
Watching smoke obscure the mountains,
A hazy horizon calls for a dance,
How did I end up at none of my destinations?

Everything becomes a dream,
Neglected all my feathers
They dont shine in the moonbeam,
And I'm falling despite my tethers.

Caught wind on the overpass,
This beat trapped my heartstrings,
Oh, why does it never last?
Not an ounce of trust in my wings.

Everything becomes a dream,
Neglected all my feathers,
They don't shine in the moonbeam,
And I'm falling despite my tethers.

Staring at a pink haze,
I don't care if I get paid,
It's all to navigate the maze,
Before my starry eyes fade.

Everything is just a dream,
I'm losing all my feathers,
I won't bathe in the moonbeam,
Im cutting all my tethers.

Let’s find a place to park
Just after dark,
And into the night,
We’ll describe our plight.
These streetlights pass me by,
But the time tells us hope is high.

What’s quieter than the breathing,
Is it the graveyard’s heart beating,
Is it the headlights on the pavement,
Or the promises that are spelled ‘patient’?
Skyler M Jan 2018
The question I have for tonight,
Is a simple one at that,
It's aimed for my head,
And the thoughts locked inside,
I picked the words carefully,
Like threading through a needle,
They are quiet,
Barely heard,
"Will I be alive tomorrow?"

Cause I battle every night,
Knowing that I just might not,
Make it through the inspection,
I do on my brain,
It repeats until I don't have a conscious left,
I can't breath.
Help me.

The battle between one side and another,
The demons and the angels,
Every night it gets darker,
Until my hand isn't being controlled by me,
It reaches for things I never want to see,
It skins things that I had hoped to save.
It repeats until I don't have a conscious left,
I can't breath,
Help me.

One more time,
I inspect my brain,
Write the words over and over,
Think of something better to say,
But there's nothing so I put it simply,
"Will I be alive tomorrow?"
Skyler M Sep 2018
Who’s next?
In this long line of losing people,
It’s going to happen sometime now,
I’m not in denial,
I just want some justification as to why they go.

Look at all the sunsets,
She’s not here with me,
So just keep me company,
Won’t you please?

Sappy morning dew and fog,
Writes out my story on the window,
Let’s leave now it’s time to find more people to lose,
I don’t regret you or your ocean-like eyes,
Cherish every time I fell asleep with you,
Monsters climb out from under the bed,
I really don’t want to lose all these friends.

Look at all these sunsets,
Burning fire like the one inside my heart,
I don’t mind that she’s not here,
Just as long as someone is at all.
Skyler M Oct 2017
It's dream day
A Sunday before the **** your mind holiday,
A time when the sun doesn't shine no rays,
Faith is a march for worry and pain,
It's the smallest grain,
In all the grains of sand.

When the lights flashed red,
I was stuck inside my bed,
The sheets were turning black and blue,
Guessing I can't do Jack-squat.

If you understand what I'm going though,
Raise your arms and hail Mary,
I pray to nothing above,
I still pray that I'll be saved.

Although I cannot believe,
I really want it to be true,
That I can repent for all the sins,
And pray to God,
Come save my soul.

Maybe, I'd be a better person,
Or just so maybe I'd be losing my mind.
Skyler M Oct 2017
I knocked on Death's door asking if I could come in,
He told me, "Kid, you got all the things to live for."
Then slammed the door.

I knocked on Life's door asking for a drink,
She told me, "Kid, get your own drink, you've got your own hands."
Then slammed the door.

I knocked on God's door looking for a savior,
Nobody answered.
So I slammed the door
Skyler M Feb 2019
Choose your ghost to fall into,
Two clouds make a whole storm,
And the thunder will rumble,
As the lightening strikes,
Through the ground comes the faith you lost,
Wrap that faith around your neck,
Hope that God comes to save,
While you get thrashed against the floor,
You're screaming out for more,
And you or I stretched towards the ceiling,
Where the clouds formed the snow,
Inside your weathered room.

Nothing's gone right,
Mr. Lake is a figment of your imagination,
Poison boy keeps bothering you,
And Wool Kid's got his hood in your mouth.

You wanted to be a son,
A lamb of something so far, far away,
Of something you never believed to exist,
Yet here you lay, begging for forgiveness,
Knees to the ground and head tilted,
You were tired of rhymes and ***** bones,
Set fire, set fire, set fire to yourself,
I'm getting sick of pretending it wasn't so bad,
Cause I don't know where I'd be if I hadn't been so strange.

Nothing's gone right,
Mr. Lake is a figment of your imagination,
Poison boy keeps bothering you,
And Wool Kid's got his hood in your mouth.
Skyler M Jun 2022
Say the US is the land of the free
Starting to think that's the thing,
You've been so obscenely free,
Free to run your mouth,
Free to brandish your gun,
Free to take, steal, and ****.

Aren't you proud?
Oh aren't you proud!
Daddy's favorite side of the earth.

****** on a Sunday,
That’s good money you paid
Oh boy, you just can’t wait,
To make their world mold away.

Aren't you proud?
Oh aren't you proud!
Daddy's favorite side of the earth.

Dragging death on a Monday,
See their skin begin to fade,
As if slowly peeled with a blade,
This is a mess that you have made,
No regret for inflicted pain.

Aren't you proud?
Oh aren't you proud!
Daddy's favorite side of the earth.

Say it again, the land of the free,
In the middle I will never meet,
Cause all you ever do is squeal,
You don't know how to conceal,
Your historical cannibalistic meals.
Skyler M Jan 23
This is what happens,
What happens to a country,
When the opposition is stamped,
And the institutions have *** with racist sentiments.
That *** must be good if our rights,
The rights of the minorities are tradable.

LAW AND ORDER.
TO THE BONE,
LAW AND ORDER,
UNTIL YOU DROP,
LAW AND ORDER,
GET ARRESTED,

I cannot confine this rage,
We're so liberalized,
Standing in line to die,
Like sheep into the slaughterhouse.

LAW AND ORDER.
TO THE BONE,
LAW AND ORDER,
UNTIL YOU DROP,
LAW AND ORDER,
GET ARRESTED,

What do you think you could do?
Well I think I could break a few windows,
Apple, Starbucks, Meta, Microsoft,
Run into the streets screaming, "**** THE RICH"
But you won't cause it's out of order.

LAW AND ORDER.
TO THE BONE,
LAW AND ORDER,
UNTIL YOU DROP,
LAW AND ORDER,
GET ARRESTED.

WE LOVE,

WE ****,

WE LOVE,

WE ****,

LAW AND ORDER.

Skyler M Apr 2021
Sometimes I imagine you listen when I speak,
Instead of eyeing me up like candy,
And when you couldn't have me anymore,
You flayed my flesh and laid it out on the porch.

Do I look young?
Do I look fresh?
Am I a lamb who's legal to touch?
Do I look dumb?
Do I look plush?
Am I a lamb who's legal to touch?

Now I go to meet someone new,
But all I can hear is this fear,
That they'll have me only because,
I've got these wide, large eyes,
With a slim, slender physique.
idk if anyone else has this fear but, it's kinda haunted me for a while now.
Skyler M Oct 2017
I'm sitting on the floor,
As the room closes in before me,
Staring blankly at the pale paint,
It nears my tear-stained face,
A note slips under the door.

He says, let me in, let me in,
I'll open the door with nothing left to hide.

He's got his hand in mine,
We are both just as broken,
Our problems won't dissolve,
So we play with the devil.

He says, Let me in, Let me in,
I'll open the door with nothing left to hide.
Skyler M Jan 2018
I hope it is sufficient that the reason for my purpose is unknown,
I will try my own **** hardest to prevent my legs from sinking,
The forest surrounding me keeps caving into reckless abandon,
I will finally surrender so I'm back on the ground,
Rocking back and forth to try and plead,  "mercy me!"
Cause simply living feels like a force to reckoned with,
and I just want to get some sleep so that I can face the day,

Won't you let me sleep tonight?
Won't you let me sleep tonight?
Won't you?
Won't you?
Won't you let me sleep tonight?

Despite the ***** crimes closing in on me,
I absolutely cannot see the forest for the trees,
I understand what I need to be another lamb,
but I've been asking for help since the day I thought, "Why?"
I searched and found my soul inside the merciless trees,
Noticed that every hole that I found was deeper than the last,
Despite the fact that I know I've lost myself,
The sun will rise and I'll fear what I don't believe again.

Won't you let me sleep tonight?
Won't you let me sleep tonight?
Won't you?
Won't you?
Won't you let me sleep tonight?

I've been dragging myself around by the hair of my nape,
Searching for my dreams or the goal that I can reach,
Brought back from death for I was fearing life itself,
and for the timeless time that I was there,
I am back again to properly surrender my underestimated power,
Instead I'm slipping down the drain.

Won't you let me sleep tonight?
Won't you let me sleep tonight?
Won't you?
Won't you?
Won't you let me sleep tonight?
Skyler M Sep 2018
Trying to hard,
Looking to the future,
Never gonna make it but I hope yet,
I can hope,
Filling my dreams up to the seams,
Can you believe I'm still alive?
I'm just wondering tonight,
If you're alright.
Glancing out of the window,
Your eyes glazed over,
Speaking of bones and death thrones,
Please don't ever leave me without warning,
Always afraid you're gone every morning.
Skyler M Sep 2018
Hold my hand,
On this autumn evening,
Walk with me,
Far away from this place,
With your eyes I see,
Everything that I need.

You give me all these things,
And you buy me all these gifts,
But I don’t need them because all I’ve ever wanted is you.

Swing my hand,
Talk to me about your day I don’t mind,
Kiss me on the cheek,
And don’t let me walk too fast,
I don’t want to lose you,
Don’t doubt my love for you.

You give me all these things,
And buy me all these gifts,
But, girl I swear the only thing I need is your hand in mine.

Watch the sun set,
Cuddle up to my chest,
Let’s watch the world end,
Before our own eyes,
Hold my hand,
And let’s watch the world end,
Let’s watch the world end.
Skyler M Dec 2021
Now I’m no genius,
Just barely passed high school,
Couldn’t get through college,
And I can’t keep a **** job,
Maybe I’m being dramatic,
Or maybe you’re a ******* ****.

“You’re not disabled, you’re just a lazy ****”
Burned into my head,
“You’re not a man, you’re just manipulating us”
Burned into my head,
“You’re not suicidal, you’re just selfish.”
Burned into my head.

I’m whatever you say I am,
I don’t own anything when I’m here,
Can’t handle your ****-eating grin,
Want to knock your teeth right out,
But I’m too weak,
I’m burned out,
And I’m a ******* freak.

Good luck, bringing me home.
Cause you won’t see me anymore.
My seat will be empty for the holidays,
I know that you won’t care but…
Everyone else will.
Skyler M Dec 2019
Change this pace,
This year’s home is far away,
I’m okay with it,
This year I’m gonna stand high,
I’m okay with the sound of the future.

Reach out now,
This time I've got my harpoon,
I'm okay with defending you,
This winter has been the best of my last few years.
I'm okay with getting stuck.

I accept it.
Skyler M Dec 2018
Life is a highway, one way and no way else,
At least that's what they insist,
But it traps me inside a lane,
I can't get out of the crawling traffic,
Let's get out of the car,
Roll down your windows,
Escape into the ditches and cleverly hidden cabins of forests.

Keep moving,
Don't stop or else you might end up inside the car again,
Keep moving,
The sun will never dip if you follow it,
Keep moving,
Your dreams are wherever you are in the forest.

Life is a highway, one way and no way else,
But I like to think there's something more,
Perhaps a trail that leads thousands of miles away from where you started,
You'll pass by three legged deer and struck down trees,
Nothing you will pass will ever be familiar,
Like seeing through new eyes every mile you make alive.

Keep moving,
Don't stop or else you might end up inside the car again,
Keep moving,
The sun will never dip if you follow it,
Keep moving,
Your dreams are wherever you are in the forest.
Skyler M Dec 2021
I feel like buying a gun
Cause I’m not having any fun,
I’m done trying to run,
These days are coming undone,
No longer seeing the sun.

I can’t sleep for the life of me,
Why can’t these thoughts leave me be,
Im struggling to begin to see,
The forest for the trees.

Cry out every night,
God, save me from this plight,
I’m half a human as I write,
Hope I find a little light.

I don’t want to move on,
I keep seeing the same dawn,
It’s the same one I’ve always drawn,
Feeling like a plastic pawn,
I won’t be here for long.

I can’t sleep for the life of me,
Why can’t these thoughts leave me be?
I’m struggling to begin to see,
The forest for the trees.
Skyler M Feb 2018
Something pulls my feet from underneath the river's surface,
My eyes are drawn to a bright light at the other side,
It flashes mesmerizing colors and I'm leaning into the water,
My hands outreach for it's splendor as I truly start to render it's beauty,
I slip into the river and swim towards the light,
The tugging at my feet grows stronger as I get closer,
But I'm already on shore and I'm holding onto it's existence tightly,
The light glimmers as I hold it close in loving comfort,
I pray to whatever created me that it'll never leave me here to wallow underneath the river.
Skyler M Jan 2019
Dark is the room I was in,
I ran out of light bulbs so many years ago,
I've been sitting here waiting,
Not moving much,
Just hoping that I would get along just fine.
Skyler M Nov 2021
There’s a guilt associated with you,
A lingering sunset before darkness,
A winter breeze at the end of fall,
I don’t know how I feel about you.

Now I’ve kissed other people
Laid in their beds and hated their guts,
Watched as I grew farther from their touch,
Nothing seemed certain.
Not nearly as much as you.

If I were a smarter person, I’d have let you go,
You haunt my dreams these nights,
Bringing about a chorus of doubt,
Maybe I never should have said goodbye.
Skyler M Jun 2018
a genius machine.
through the time,
nobody saw you,
tell me are you okay?

waste my time, please.
I need you to be by my side,
even if you think you're a burden,
don't tell anybody that I died.

when I'm in my 20's,
tell me that you still care,
even if you're thousands of miles away.
i'll say it back if it's okay with you.
Skyler M Dec 2020
And they're cunning in their ways,
They're not absent-minded plays,
Cause they'll get what they want,
Even if it means you've got to rot.

And what happens when the immortal is killed?
Where does the ghost stay when he's forgotten?
When does the tyranny fall at the hands of the innocent?
Why is everyone so angry at everybody?

Memories left to produce mold,
Power that a dictator will hold,
Jump to the creek and cry out, "please"
"Whoever will I be?"

And what happens when the immortal is killed?
Where does the ghost stay when he's forgotten?
When does the tyranny fall at the hands of the innocent?
Why is everyone so angry at everybody?
Skyler M Jan 2020
Atop a self-made treehouse,
I’m a self-created personality,
Tree beneath, you’re my morality,
Clouds up above, weak spirituality.

Sitting on the edge,
Where the treeline meets the sky,
Not one of these birds know why,
But they’ve found that they cannot fly,
Skyler M Sep 2018
Pouring buckets of acid liquid from the golden sky,
Contrasting colors fade my killjoy heart,
No need for sympathy or wicker seas,
Veering through black rain in a stolen frame,
The voice in my head tells me I'm no longer alive,
Terrifying, melding, my world's colliding with suicide.

Long lost son, waiting for the golden sky to part it's acid liquid.

Killjoy heart found in a ditch, under the rainbow stars,
Throwing sympathy into dried up seas,
Crashed my frame and I'm collecting raindrops,
I know for sure that I'm no longer alive, stop lying,
Already pulled the trigger but I wish I wasn't speaking figuratively.

Long lost son, waiting for the golden sky to part it's acid liquid,
Long lost son, waiting for the golden sky to speak it's tears,
Long lost son, waiting for the golden sky to leave me alone.
Skyler M Mar 2018
When I look to the sky,
Don't ask me who I'm looking for,
Cause I'm just looking for anything,
Anyone at all.

An answer from space or energy itself.
If I knew whether it's real or not,
It'd defeat the whole purpose of searching.

If I said knew who I was asking for,
I'd be presumptuous and ignorant,
Who knows who could have built this.

When I look to the sky,
Don't ask what song I'm singing,
Cause I'm just making it up as I go along,
Along a make believe path.
Skyler M Dec 2021
I don’t know how to sing,
But it’s all I want to do,
And the floors give way,
To a whole new song,
I just can’t sing along,
Cause I was right the first time,
My voice still sounds so wrong.

Meshing together in a single spiral,
A passion-driven thought,
That’ll wrestle with logic,
I’m hooked to the fight,
A looping paradox.
Skyler M Nov 2017
Please, don't forget about me,
Cause If I forget about myself,
Someone's bound to as well,
Though I can't say that for the rest of my life.

I know that I am lost,
but I know that you are lost as well,
Maybe we can guide each other to light?

Shadows are chasing me,
Through more empty stairwells,
As the memories are displayed,
Broken and untouched on the walls.

I know that I am lost,
but I know that you are lost as well,
Maybe we can be light for each others eyes?
Skyler M Dec 2017
You know you've lost yourself,
When the darkness from last night,
Seeps into the morning,
Filtering into your brain.

Watch yourself,
Take it easy,
Keep it slow.

You know you've lost your sight,
When the darkness from last night,
Seeps into the morning,
Behind both of your eyelids.

Watch yourself,
Take it easy,
Keep it slow.
Skyler M Aug 2018
Let's take a walk out onto the roof tops,
Look out over our boring suburban neighborhoods,
Are you satisfied with your life?

"Hey, where are you going tonight?
I'm getting tired of losing all my friends,
Could you stay a little longer?"

Every night that I'm alone on the roof,
I am missing all of you,
Memories are all I have at this point,
Everything feels like it's moving counter-wise.

"Hey, where are you going tonight?
I'm getting tired of losing all my friends,
Could you stay a little longer?"

These ghost stick alongside me for now,
They always talk about how stupid I am,
Never allowed to leave my side,
I need all of my friends back.

Throw me back in time,
Even if it kills me,
I don't like being alone,
Why am I alone?

"Hey, where are you going tonight?
I'm getting tired of losing all my friends,
Could you stay a little longer?"
Skyler M Jan 2023
We're so lovable,
Yet so fuckable,
Think we’re functional?
No, just dysfunctional.

Put it in reverse,
Wait here comes the hearse!

Quickly now,
Bring it down,
Not a sound,
Hearts pound,
They surround.
Skyler M Nov 2017
Can't you see,
You are lovely,
Lighting up my day,
No matter what you say.

A heart of gold,
That cannot be sold,
Take my hand and more,
We will be able to soar.

Can't you see,
You are lovely,
Your hands are wrapped in roses,
Warming up the coldest of noses.

You won't forgive yourself,
Leaving all your hate on the bookshelf,
Why won't you believe me?

Can't you see,
You are lovely,
The clouds are a shade of pink,
But still you rethink.
For my best friend who doesn't believe she is worthy.
Skyler M Feb 2018
Can't you see what I see,
You are lovely,
It's framed in my head, undoubtedly.

You light up the darkest nights,
No matter what you say,
No matter how much my edges fray.

Can't you see what I see,
You are lovely,
It's framed in my head, undoubtedly.

Your hands are wrapped in roses,
Warming up the coldest of noses,
No matter how much you oppose it.

Can't you see what I see,
You are lovely,
It's framed in my head, undoubtedly.
Why won't you believe me?

Why won't you believe me?
Skyler M Jun 2021
Intoxicated on your medication
Everybody compares you to drugs
Is it because
You're just so
Toxic yet lovable?

Abandon me on the park bench
Leave me to get high
All alone, on my own
The stars don't seem as bright
We think you're
Just oh so
Lonely yet charming.

Drop our phone call when I'm stranded
Just off of Main Street
Didn't word myself very well
So I'll walk home
You'll feel bad
Only when I get swept away
By traffic and rain.

Romantic isn't your style
You admitted to me
While I was dying on the wayside
Over by eastern tide
Another night again
I guess, I'll walk myself home
As a heartbroken ghost.

Intoxicated on your medication
Everybody compares you to drugs
Is it because
You're just so
Toxic yet lovable?
Singers always talk about a drug-like lover...
They usually seem to ****. A lot.
So here's a character dealing with said 'drug'
Skyler M Jan 2018
I thought I’d be okay,
I thought it was gone,
The feeling in the pit of my stomach raged on,
I want to puke my guts out because of you,
But not because I hate you,
But because I love you.

Is this lovesickness? I can’t have you, that’s okay.
But maybe you hate me and that’s what’s getting to my head.
I want you to know that I only want the best for you,
I’m just losing my mind down the toilet.

Spending hours on end thinking about your response,
I know I’m selfish and pathetic as hell,
The truth is killing my bones,
But I don’t expect anything back because I’m perfectly content as it is, as we are.

Is this lovesickness? I can’t have you, that’s okay.
But maybe you hate me and that’s what’s getting to my head.
I want you to know that I only want the best for you,

Skyler M Dec 2021
So distant from the future yet so close to the past,
This barrier that prevents me from taking one more step,
Eyes to the ground I won't make eye contact,
These greedy beings are far too rough to me.

Cease to exist,
Won't be fixed,
Down the list,
I'm told I'm missed,
It hurts like an engorged cyst.

Wringing my bones of the infectious mold,
Pay God a sum to fix me with venomous tongues,
I won't bathe in the pity that a loved one engorges on,
All day and every night till the very day I die.

Cease to exist,
Won't be fixed,
Down the list,
I'm told I'm missed,
It hurts like an engorged cyst.

Waterboard these treasonous instincts,
Tomorrow's a new day to forgive you of the infliction,
Another wine cup made from Jesus that I won't drink,
I've kissed Lucifer and told him God is nobody worth loving,
Cause if God won't love me for who I was and who I became,
Then God doesn't deserve to breed his impotence and greed.

Yet.
In all his glory, he shines down on the sinners,
Promising to be the golden riches we lust after,
He no longer deserves capitalization for further polluting,
O' our wretched hands.
Skyler M Dec 2018
When you look upon yourself in the mirror,
Do you see what I see?
Because the way you look away when I say,
"You're amazing."
Just gives me proof that you're out of this world,
It's okay, It's okay, it's okay.

It's time for you to learn,
To learn to love yourself.

You're framed inside a picture,
That's moving out of the gallery,
And your eyes hold the stars,
While your hands hold the torch,
Of all the art in the gallery you're the most stunning.

It's time for you to learn,
To learn to love yourself.

And when the sun sets on the hills,
It reminds me of your smile,
Call me cheesy and a dork now if you want,
But I'm telling you the truth, my dear,
It's the truth,
So for me,
Could you find a way,
To love yourself.

Annihilate my future,
Every prospect,
Every opportunity,
Every sinking feeling.

Change my trajectory,
Through drugs,
Through alcohol,
Through self-hatred.

Baby, I self-destruct,
Countdown from,

Lonely at the edge of the world,
With only me, myself, and I to blame,
Don't you dare pity my M.A.D.,
Berate me as you wish and must,
Remind me of how I got here,
My own selfish determination,
It's me and my mistakes,
Here, at the edge of the world,
Here, at the end of the timeline,
Here, at an ergo sum of my lifetime.

This pen is my weapon,
The words I use to tear away from abuse,
With every night that passes,
I'm left more soulless than before.

There's no escaping,
I might as well make it good,
While I can.

I can't write a word without telling myself,
"Where will the time go?" I say,
"When you're wasting your words on ten sheets of paper." I cry,
Time doesn't matter to me when my heart is free.

There's no escaping,
I might as well make it good,
While I can.

What do they make of me?
Am I a mistake or a prodigy?
It's really not too hard to see,
I’m just a liability.

Pulling at my skin,
Pulling out the pin,
Loving my sin,
Loving to win.

Make room,
Cause I'm hopping on,
The Amtrak,
Headed to wherever I may go.

Whether I'll be dead within two years,
Or maybe I'll be living mediocrely, boringly.
If dreams really came true then I'd be onstage,
Singing out the times I wanted to cry and die.

Make room,
Cause I'm not waiting for you,
My friends have all gone,
I don't know where they went but I'm doing just fine.

Maroon blood on bathroom floors,
Is all I can see at night,
Makes me wonder where I'll be alive, tomorrow.
Well, don't stop me now.

Make room,
Cause you're not part of this,
I've got things to see and things to do,
Don't control me,
Just make room.
Just make room.

I am a nearly burnt out star,
Venus hates my guts,
Sun won't look at me,
Mars is even spreading lies.

Mama Moon, will I die soon?
I've had enough of you,
Mama Moon, sing me a tune.
I've got my hand on a gun,
Mama Moon, before it's afternoon.

I am about to implode and explode,
Jupiter is king of my life,
Pluto won't let me go,
Mercury seems to be dead.

Mama Moon, will I die soon?
I've have enough of you,
Mama Moon, sing me a tune,
I've got my hand on a gun,
Mama Moon, and now it's afternoon.

Something starts to surface,
Coming up from the mantle,
Praying for our own demise,
I suppose it's best to sever our ties.

I know I'm a bit of a let down,
A fading creature losing it's royal crown,
And it's happening so fast I'll drown,
Gone and drowned by now.

This isn't what you think is true,
This isn't what you believe is right,
This isn't what you see to be light,
This isn't what you seek for forgiveness.

What you think you know,
Becomes what you'll never know,
So won't you find another way?

This isn't what you foresee,
This isn't what you can be,
This isn't what you wanted to happen,
This isn't what you seek under lighthouses of fog.

Burning down the house,
So you can say goodbye,
Cause you're so terrified.

This isn't where you sleep,
This isn't where you abandon your grief,
This isn't where you carry my burden for me,
This isn't where you keep your demons.

Mary Jane, dear,
I'm losing your mind,
On the international highway,
Is this what I think is right?

Being myself hurts and I wish I could snap my fingers and make things disappear but,
My eyes are glued to the bottom of my chin,
I can't look away from the things on my chest,
And I can't get rid of the past,
This weight that rests on my throat and on my chest,
It holds me down as I cry out.

Hey friend, do you want to exchange?
I know you're feeling a little down about yourself as well,
I've got something you don't so why don't we make a deal?
We can curse whoever for making this mistake together.

When I'm at home and laying in bed,
My mind tends to make up scenarios,
Where my eyes are in my sockets and I can see the world in full color,
Only a little scruff showing itself on my chin,
Or maybe even being confident in the voice that I live with,
But I wake out of these visions and breath before I cry.

Hey friend, do you want to exchange?
I know you're feeling a little down about yourself as well,
I've got something you don't so why don't we make a deal?
We can curse the heavens for making this mistake together.

I hope you're doing okay,
I know it's been hard,
It's never easy for us,
but hey, why don't you stay and talk awhile?
Let's curse whatever made us this way even if we're talking to ourselves.
Even if we are talking to ourselves.

I hope that everything I know,
Will be turned into the snow,
To melt away into the gutter with my sorrow.

And if I'm able to face my soul,
Without wondering when I'll take a toll..

Tumbling down is skilled if anything,
So break my toes from the inside.

Everybody understands it except you,
Or maybe nobody really understands and you're just a lost soul like me.

Don't you dare call me cause you're just a *****,
Well, all I really do is doubt you.

When the sky loses its sun,
And my days turn hollow,
Alongside my makeshift body,
I make my own, create my sun.

In the form of the menial,
The unwanted forms of joy,
Have to become my Earth,
As a morphed moon tugs the tides.

I’ve learned that cycles,
Must be met with a fire,
A yearning for survival,
That no one can see.

In the form of the menial,
The unwanted forms of joy,
Have to become my Earth,
As a morphed moon tugs the tides.

I am my own best enemy,
And they say you’d best keep them close.

The problem always becomes,
When I’m so completely blinded,
Lost within the impenetrable dark and,
Lead by the crescent moon into,
An utterly devastating state,
It’s only then that I will ask,
“Oh god, what have I become?”

“What have I become?”

In the form of the menial,
The unwanted forms of joy,
Have to become my Earth,
As a morphing moon tugs the tides.
