Stage Left
Lucy Tonic Apr 2015
X marks the spot
I almost forgot
The end is near

Thanks for the reminder
You could’ve been much kinder
Now it’s crystal clear

My control is spinning
To you, this is fun
You know you’re winning
Perhaps you’ve already won

Spies everywhere
Wish I didn’t care
Pictures aiming to destroy
The girl within my boy

Still remember what he said
The man of mystery
As I lay here in bed
“Soon you’ll be history”

What’s Your Shadow?
Lucy Tonic May 2014
We all have wounds
That will eventually **** us
On one side they’re saying surrender
On the other, don’t give up

The happy people cheer you on
Expecting you to fly
But you’re not ready
You must let the days go by

It’s so tiring-
Trying to be normal
A child knows
What his parents need him to be

Die for tomorrow
Escape from today
Give everything to everyone
Live and let play

Life deals you in
Death bails you out

The Color of Chaos
Lucy Tonic Oct 2014
Standing on the precipice
Peering into the dark abyss
An untied shoelace,
A sudden gust of wind,
And I fell right in

Now it's all about the observer effect
A staring contest between it and me
Like being swallowed by the sea
When the sea is a deep hole pit

Out of the blue earth, into the black of outer space
But colors don't exist in chaos
The void has no face
It's a place where ideas flow
But no pen and paper can be found

Like when you wake up from a strange dream
The home of your bedroom feels obscure-
No longer a safety net, no longer the cure
And soon the sheets grow cold, the photographs are old
And you have no other choice but to step to the edge-
Just to know what it feels like again

But this time,
Instead of falling,
Someone pushes you

The Heart's Condition
Lucy Tonic Oct 2014
Euphoria or bliss
Sadness or a miss
That's how it begins and ends
The in-between, a dance of sins and amends
So bend or break,
What does it take to set your soul on fire?
Are you lingering like birds on a wire?
What inspires you to trust your heart with something new
When it could destroy you, take your soul captive,
Leave you in chains until all that remains is solitude as your middle name
What do you do when your heart's fortress is broken by one strong kiss?
Or is your heart an open domain where pain is free to reign,
Cause all you know is shame, and you don't have patience for mind games-
Is he a snake waiting in the grass? Or a dog that needs to be fed?
How do you trust the voices in your head
When every time you go to bed your dreams ran rampant
Of faith and fate, love and hate
What will be your heart's condition when you enter the gates?
Cause surely you will be born again into that same exact state

Is That All There Is?
Lucy Tonic Jun 2014
The duality of reality and fantasy-
Is that all there is?
There are worse things in this world than a broken heart. But in the end, every mistake, every disaster, every tragedy, results in a broken heart. –
Is that all there is?
I look down, below, and I see the past. I look above, to the sky, and I see the future. I look straight in front of me, and I see the present.-
Is that all there is?

Lost
Lucy Tonic Apr 2014
You're the one that got away
Somehow I think I'm to blame
We were both looking for escape
But you beat me to it with haste

The passion we shared
The crosses we beared
I don't want to live a lie
The science of our love
Caused me violence when you left
And I don't want to watch our future die

I'm lost...

— The End —
