Today I was told I'm going to die.
Told that inside my body is a foreign machine.
Eating away at me, destined to devour me.
Today they said that I'm going to die.
The black cells destroying me...
Toying with me.
Today I heard that I'm going to die.
That my end draws near.
That my end is nigh.
Today I cried and cried and cried.
Because I'm all alone...
No place to call home...
No place to curl up and die.
Today I was told I'm going to die.
So I guess this is good bye.
Verse 1
From the sky
The big machines
Are coming to take control
Of everything and everyone
And every single living soul
Full of hate in their brains
And war in their eyes
They're ready to kill us all
From the clouds in the sky
A rain made of fire
They've come to destroy us all.
Chorus
Coming down from the sky
In a halo of flames
Everybody will die
Or be turned into slaves
You can run all you want
But you'll never be safe
'Cause there's no place to hide
From the Shiny Metal Brains
Verse2
The human race is mystified
By the sight of these big machines
As we sit terrified, we all wonder why
They've come to kill everythin
I curl up inside.
I can no longer hide.
I want to die.
It's been a long time.
And been a hard fight.
But there is no longer any light...
and I want to die.

Permission to Break my Heart..
Give me the knife, dear.
I'll cut myself open for you.
I'll just cut my skin here.
And give you a clearer view.
I give it all up.
Expose my heart to you.
And I give you permission.
To rip it in two.
Just rip it apart.
But sew me up when you're through.
I'll let you tear me to pieces.
Because I'm in love with you.
Love Withdrawal
I love you with all my heart.
But it can't go on like this.
I can't go on like this.
With my insides a tumultuous torrent of anxiety and fear.
I love you with all of my heart.
But we can't go on like this.
This one-sided love, one-sided feeling.
With my mind a ravaged, tortured, thoughtful mess.
If only you loved me with all your heart.
Maybe this could change.
Maybe we could run away together.
Maybe the pain we both feel from burns unhealed...
...could help us feel whole again.
And maybe if you loved me with all of your heart.
Then I wouldn't feel the need to leave.
Then I wouldn't feel the need to stop talkin
I can't over it
I wish I knew
What life would be like
Being with you
You're perfect for me
I wish you knew
everyday that goes by
I'm in love with you
I've kept my distance
All this time
Hoping that someday
You will be mine
If only I could tell you
and have it be fine
If only I could say it
I'm sure you would be mine.
A slow ticking second hand brings it all into frame.
The broken posture with which I sit...waiting.
Frozen memories, fragments of conversations. Words. Feelings.
Justified by your intention to complete our circle once you have completed your journey.
As I wait...for you.
Blood runs slow when you love someone who is never there.
Time; a series of clicking, fleeting moments, and blank gestures.
Filtered through a sack cloth gateway.
Poured into a cup of sorrow and frustration.
Glimmer of hope upon the horizon...
As I wait.
Reliving soft skin and warm touch.
Forcing daydreams of us in a future uncertain.
As I wait.

The Poet and The Businessman
When given the choice,
She will always stay with,
The Businessman.
When given the choice,
She will always love,
The Poet.
She will always live with the Businessman, but love with the Poet.
Such it was, and always will be.
Greed will forever be the comfort and grace.
Lust will forever be the chaos and play.
The Poet's words woo her, smooth her and caress her.
The Businessman's money will always protect her, and secure her.
She will always adore the Businessman.
She will always love the Poet.
But the Businessman will never adore her.
And the Poet will ALWAYS love her. Forever.
A dark swarm descends upon her heart.
It brings promises of love, lust, and happiness.
An illusion, at best.
Beyond this swarm, this flock of eyes
Stands a man with open arms, and a sad open heart.
He can see through the swarm, so into her.
He loves her. Without question or detail.
Without remorse, confusion or hesitation.
She is apprehended by illusion.
Though she does see him, and knows he feels.
She is uneasy, unsure of how to be.
But he loves her still.
Through the swarm he watches, waits.
Through the swarm she watches, waits.
Together they wait.
One day the time will come...
...when the swarm is gone, and the light is giv

the image that I see
is staring back at me
in the book
full of things I'll never be
and one day I will open wide
and magnify the things I'd say to you
and hopefully you'll know just why
and share with me, and tell me what to do
to see you there that night
flashes full of light
and the imagery
that you thoughtfully...create.
I feel as though I've seen inside
behind your eyes
and now I'm mystefied
of all the things I know are true
there's no place I'd rather be than with you
a million things I'd love to say
and then one day it may just go away
and thankfully you've shown me how
to find the things I've lost somehow.

Pretty much sick of everything.
And everyone.
everywhere.
I keep falling for girls that are not only NOT interested in me that way, but are also indecisive drama leaches.
yay.
I'm done.
Later.
Ahhhh your so sweet! Welcome to DA, truthfully photography has taken up most of my time as of late but I do still write. So you never know you may get some updates.
I like your writing, so I look forward to it. I've found that taking the time to write here actually helps me finish lyrics...something which I need to do a lot of right now.
now, I'm going to strap on the headphones and lose myself in a sea of badly recorded acoustic guitars!
