  • Fear Of Failure Is All I’ve Started…

    Running low on the things we knowGetting hard to tell what’s left in my headNot necessarily feeling like I’m deadMore or less I think I just don’t knowThe longer this goes the more doubt I haveIf this is it then I’m doing pretty goodIf there’s more I probably shouldn’t knowLife…

  • Don’t Miss It Before It Doesn’t Last…

    There’s no time to slow downWhen it’s the only wayPushing forwardFor no other reasonThen this is the only wayThere is no time to slow downI’ll make it throughPushing forwardFor no better reasonThan this is what it isThere is no other wayThat is what they saidBelieve me when I sayThis is…

  • As Sharks In Sheep’s Clothing…

    Crack open my own head like an eggLet the air seep out and see what’s leftDid you ever notice? Does it even matter?That I don’t want to be here either?Given a choice… given the chance…I’m not so sure if I was even given the optionThat I wouldn’t just sit this…

  • Why Should We Ever Leave?…

    I’m not sure what it isThe constant sorrow or the lack of soundWashing away the ashes I’ve left behindIs it any wonder that none of this is a crimeI’m not sure what it is but it can’t be okayThe constant sorrow or the lack of visionWashing away the ground back…

  • At This Point… What Haven’t We Done?…

    Stretching the skin across the bonesOrgans contorting to something newShe told me she wanted it but now she’sNot so sure the pain was worth it in the endBroken heart syndrome… the flesh cracksAgainst the pressure and the strainHow much agony is any one willing to takeIf you aren’t willing to…

  • You Can’t Ignore It…

    Holding onto guilty feelingsHow I’ve always beenSelfish by a need I can’t explainMy time means more than I’d admitBetter than you… I think notWords I say and my actions don’t matchWhat would you like me to say?That seeing isn’t believingMore lies to die upon these daysCrosses lining the sky line…

  • A Really Desperate Head Space…

    Waiting for you to speak to meIn the shadows… rusting on the TVDoes God have a plan or did JesusJerk the wheel into another ravineNot really all that sure of anythingHow it is you feel about meHow I feel knowing the truthBelieving the lies all over againIt wasn’t like they…

  • A Reflective Place…

    Not sure if this will be getting throughThe suns been hidden behind the moonReflecting light back into the darknessLakes swelling with the blood of the deadI’d like to think the time to rest is nowBut there’s no end to how far we must goStretching skin to make new blanketsDrying organs…

  • I’m Sure I’ll Be Okay…

    This never-ending thought paradeKeeps getting in my wayIf taken literally it might make senseTo someone other than myselfUnlikely but shouldn’t I at least try?No… that’s not how this is meant to be doneSuffocating under all these blanketsMy breath feels hot, but my feet are coldSeems I’ve grown too tall to…

  • Without A Care In The World…

    Fighting destiny, pushing against my skin and bonesNot sure who I’m meant to be, but not wanting itHurts just as much as no knowingThe sea was angry again today my friendTook more souls than it needed but who knowsIt’s not like life has a quota for these thingsWe don’t know……
