Death, comes to us all
For some, it rings
the doorbell
It brings
flowers like a
gentleman caller

Sometimes, it creeps
up on us while
we sleep
Snatches the life
Like a thief
in the night

For some, it is
The end that
justifies
the means
It is the cold truth
After the hot soup
of lies
in between

Others, it stalks
Like prey
Licking it's lips
As it gets closer
every day
It is a random
act of violence
Unprovoked,
Waiting in silence

But for all of us,
It is life's only guarantee.

I love it when
you stumble over
your words 'cause
I made your heart
pound so hard
your voice skipped
like a record

I don't chase perfection
I won't waste my
precious life chasing
dragons and unicorns

I love it when
you check your breath
and fix your hair
when I go
powder my nose
'cause you don't know
that I'm in love
with the man
behind the mask

I don't need a prince,
a crown, or a palace
All I need, all I know
when I lay my head
in your lap, I am home.

I can't reach
consciousness
untethered
falling deeper
into darkness

and they try
but I just can't
I don't know why
It feels wrong
to love anything

but I remember
smiling and dancing
sweet salty September
oh, everything...

I can feel it
drawing closer but
not close enough
I need it now
something to believe

and I try
but I just can't
understand why
what I think
isn't what I say

but I remember
laughing and crying
through each endeavor
and our love dying
in my arms

I loved you like
the sun loves a star
so distant and mysterious
but we can't exist
in the same galaxy

and we try
and we live our lies
but we always have an eye
out for that distant light

it's not about
who's right
or wrong
who lost
who won
'cause when
you're gone
I feel so
hollowed
why can't I
help myself?
I want to
crush you
but I love you
...
It's not about
who ****** up
or who got ******
who lost it all
who lost the torch
'cause when
I'm gone
you're just
a shell
why do you
always run?
you know
I will not
follow

is this how
it will always be?
you vs. me
used to be us
against the world
how did we
ruin the perfect thing?
we reduced an
empire into ashes
over a text message
...

her eyes turned black
her voice went flat
she stabbed me in the back
when I turned to run

she's a demon
she's a demon
I love your
darkness
pour it on me
like molten lava
baby, scorch me
I need to be clean

she stopped me in my tracks
stopped my heart just like that
she pulled it out of my chest
while I was sleeping in her bed

she's a demon
she's a demon
I love your
darkness
pour it on me
like molten lava
baby, scorch me
I need to be clean

D'exercice vous
serait blasphème
mais il vaut mieux pour moi
to exercise you
would be blasphemy
but it's best for me
I need to be clean

here's to the inappropriate bonds
the secrets that form between us
all of the nights spent hating all
of the things that we'll never admit
and the mornings spent regretting
all the stupid things that we did

you're an alien to me
here you come
with your false light
you come creeping in
the middle of the night
all I'm left with is lost time
I've been violated
in ways I can't explain
and no one believes me

here's to the unforseen devistation
that contact has cost us
all of the days spent as strangers
not to each other but to ourselves
and all of the mornings we wake up
wishing it was yesterday...

you're an alien to me
here you come
with your false light
you come creeping in
the middle of the night
all I'm left with is lost time
I've been violated
in ways I can't explain
and no one believes me
