The rain never stops these days.
It just drills into my skull
And chills my sun kissed skin,
Tapping On my shoulder begging me to remember,
But I can't. So I keep trudging along,

The further I mumble through the rain; the louder it gets,
The drumming. The flooding. The screaming.
I smack my hands against my ears,
As an attempt to block it.
But I can't. So I keep trudging along,

Rivers leak from my eyes,
Falling down my cheeks and shattering on the Tarmac,
I taste blood. My hearts bleeding again,
I try to heal it.
But I can't. So I keep trudging along,

Fragments of my heart explode,
Ripping me apart and turning the rain water red,
I used to like water. Not now.
Now it reminds me of him...
But I can't remember him. So I keep trudging along

Lust

You're spouting three lettered phrases
And I don't care
Because my body's here
And your's is over there

Come a little closer
Cause the anger gets you hot
And I'm crashing from my high
And both our nerves are shot

We're seeing red
But your's is anger
We're seeing red
Put your clothes on a hanger

This isn't love
This is lust
This is instinct
Without the need for trust

This isn't gentle
Sweetie, we're so rough
And I'll be ******
If we don't work till the sun's up

Cause this isn't love
This is sweet, sweet lust
But I love when you get angry
And I love getting you riled up

I don't know your name
I don't know your name
And I don't even care
This is just a game

In the morning, you'll be gone
Cause baby if you stay
I'm not the type for breakfasts
And "How was your day"'s

So stop bringing "I love you"'s
Into this game we play
This is all just lust
Watch what you say

Cause I love you's were never foreplay
And this was never a relationship
When a red haze covers the room
There's only space to touch, to kiss

Yes, I know you're lonely
And yeah, I am too
And that's why we're here
But when you start talking, we're through

Cause I can find love anywhere
But I came for lust
And I say it every single time
You bring this topic up

"All we got is lust."

If only people understand..
Why those who have been broken too many times...
Can't really trust or love again...
It isn't like we don't try..
It is just we are scared to go through what we have been through before...
Those painful memories still floats in my head...
Of the time we spent...
It ruins the chances of me trusting someone again...
These experiences weren't the best in my life...
No one should go through these experiences...
But it makes us tough...

Snap, snap, wince
It's slowly coming
back into routine

Snap, snap, gasp
A room full of
milling people in
the muggy heat

Snap, snap, ouch
Always one too far
Now I remember this
gratifying therapy

It stares at my face.
I glance at it.
It tells me to pick it up.
I do as I'm told.
It tells me that I will be okay,
but only if I slide it across my skin.
I don't know if I should say yes or no so I back away,
until it comes back and haunts me the next day.
She's in my presence,
she's in my brain,
she's what crowds my thoughts,
and drives me insane.
Sometimes i wish i held back,
for I've fallen in craze,
when she's gone my world's stallin',
when she's there I just gaze.

It cannot be healthy,
it's what I dismay,
it's the danger of loving,
when no heart is to gain.
for when I fall I fall hard,
but that's not absurd,
and when I do I stay long,
try to make her my bird.

Even when it's a dead end,
even if there's none,
even when my hope's down,
I stick around, which is dumb.
'bout me she's not thinking,
In her mind I'm not there,
I'm somewhere in her storage,
to be brought out as a spare.

Every nice guy recieves a duty,
for every girl he hangs around;
Every nice guy pursues the beauty,
who someone has already found.
It's really a sad matter;
It's not what is meant to be,
Seems like I'm stuck trying,
But one day I'll be free.

Close the door and turn the key
sit down in the dark with me.
The fear is warm and strokes my spine,
I haven't been here in a long time.

The moon is quiet, the room is still
I stare out the window against my will.
There's too much out there I've already seen
and dipped in memories of places I've been.

The leaves are dark and twist and shudder
as one breeze comes and then another.
Wallpaper lit by a neighbour's light
flowers jump, start, but hold tight.

The next day looms, dark and threatening
glistening with details I'm tired forgetting:
a tooth pulled out, a pen put to paper
there is no courage, just air and vapour.

In the trough of a wave, shouting calling
you're moving forward not just falling.
Keep still, hide your breathing, don't let it show
don't scream out loud and they'll never know.
