True Colors

A statue of glass in the middle of the room:
My legs are filled with stone
And my feet anchored to the ground.
Buried my heart so deep
I forgot where it rests
And a truly black hole has formed in my chest.
Static, I'm lost in the undertow.
I am a statue of glass.
My lungs are filled with stone.
Give me time.
My heart's a labyrinth that's lost its purpose.
Break the static in my eyes.
Shed some light.
Give me time to break the cycle.
Take me to a place where
I don't feel so small.
Static, searching for cracks in the painting.
Just take my hand and hold it close to your heart.
I know that we can make it through the night.
It's time to show your true colors or forever hold your peace.
Just promise me that we'll make it through the night.
“The weight is bringing me down to the seafloor where I hope to disappear. Enveloped in darkness where what's deep down can evaporate, where I can sink between waters, where I can be at peace.”
It's time to leave this place
In between waters
Where I can peace
Hold your breath
Static, searching for cracks in the painting.
Just take my hand and hold it close to your heart.
I know that we can make it through the night.
It's time to show your true colors
Or forever hold your peace.
Just promise me that we'll make it through the night.

Sunken Eyes

It's in my bones.
I wish i'd never felt this way before.
I'm just so insecure.
Want to tear out my eyes and live the life of a blind man.
It never stops.
The loneliness doesn't wait 'till I'm alone.
It's like a tidal wave when
I least expect.
Leaves me without an ounce of breath.
I want you to be proud,
To feel like i've done something right.
But I know that stronger tides
will tear us apart and i'll be left behind.
It's in the way you look at me.
Ask me more than I can provide.
But in the name of tragedy
I'm always happy to oblige.
Left behind.
I've got no one to leave behind.
Just lift the chill in my soul from the weight of the world.
It's in my bones.
Shivering and grinding up my teeth.
I'm all alone
With an ocean of sadness inside of me.
I can never seem to find
the one thing that can transcend my shame.
If this is what to expect from life
I will not stay here another day.
Your heartbeat might fill this empty space inside.
Is it by failure or design?
That we will fade away in time.
It's in the sunken eyes
I see every time I look in the mirror.
I need to say goodbye
But i've got no one to leave behind.
I can never seem to find
The one thing that can transcend my shame.
If this is what to expect from life
I will not stay here another day.

On Being Alone

Stop the loathing.
Take the time to inhale exhale.
It's time to show what defines you.
Get up and make me proud.
When you feel like completely disappearing
Step out of line and make your way back home.
I feel it in my bones.
The contempt towards everything you know.
It's a mistake you should not be here.
Leave this place and get away with something new.
Shine your light and guide me back home
Because I feel like god wanted to die alone.
Don't fly too close to the sun
Because death held its hand through the great divide
And i've been searching for something new.
Keep walking step by step
don't look too far ahead.
One small death at a time it'll sharpen your heart.
Pull out the life from my eyes
and let my heart sink into the ground.
Let me bleed out.
Let me throw my life into nothingness.
Shine your light and guide me back home
Because I feel like god wanted to die alone.
Don't fly too close to the sun
Because death held its hand through the great divide
And i've been searching for something new

Crossroads

Words turn to ash in my mouth.
I can't spit it out.
Looking for a sense of when
I lost myself.
Grinding through my heart.
Beating faster by the second now.
Don't want to be by myself
But you know how life it's never felt like enough.
I'm at a crossroads
And i'm afraid to look around.
I'm feeling restless
Like a step further could clear my head.
Trying to keep it together
But I know i'm shedding my skin.
Someones knocking and i'm afraid to answer
Because I might never feel again.
Words turn to ash in my mouth.
I can't spit it out.
Looking for a sense of when
I lost myself.
Life has never felt like enough.
Someones knocking and i'm afraid to answer
Because when I open that door
I might never go back home.
Grinding through my heart.
Beating faster by the second now.
Don't want to be by myself
But you know how life it's never felt like enough.

Shut your mouth and blind your eyes.
Listen to the world inside it's dying.
This is the hardest battle you will ever fight.
Where do you stop, where do you draw the line?
What is the reason you don't want to die?
Where do I find myself.
And i've lost track of every step I ever took.
Burned bridges mean nothing to me.
And i've come close to seeing through
But this fog in my head is lending me safe haven.
Stalked, afraid, completely lost.
I wish to find a hell
That I can call home.
Where at least my heart
Can hang upon the wall.
Where it's not too bright
And where I can see the stars
Where I can feel myself completely disappear.
There was a time when I was free of worry.
There was a time when sparks where lit in my eyes
But by the time I'm done dulling the pain
There will be nothing left but a shallow wreckage.
Tell me there's something inside
That there's something missing.
There was a time where
I thought I could leave.
I wish to find a hell
That I can call home.
Where at least my heart
Can hang upon the wall.
Where it's not too bright
And where I can see the stars
Where I can't feel myself
Completely disappear.
