Lend me a hand for once. You promised me that I could learn this life. Now I fear that we are running out of time. A broken picture lies at my feet. A reflection of what we used to be. You haven’t seen the things that I’ve seen. If you could only see the white in her eyes. I don’t know if I fall in line. Moving forward, a blessing in disguise. Looking back on what I left behind. Calling out, but no one seems to hear a sound. The glass on the floor is breaking what’s left of my skin. You promised me that I was not the only one. I will have to figure this out on my own. This is not the state of my being, but another man entirely. Oh God, I’m constantly changing. Malleable morality. We reap the stitches that make up our ending. Just look at me. I have put my faith in something greater than myself. I will disconnect myself from the rest. My mind is in a different place. I know there is hope for me, but please just show me how to set free. Look at me, I am on the ground. Please tell me I’m not the only one.

Rebuild me from the inside out. Constructing a safe haven from doubt in myself. Doubt in everyone else. Show me trust. Show me love. Flourish in spring time, fading in winter. The season brings with it a desire to see a change in the world. We’re living to hope and to suffer. Planting the seed, bloom and thrive, and in time we die. Only in winter. Leave behind the seeds, the messages through generations. The cold is killing me. Warmth is all I seek. Snow fall on my skin. Lost inside my head. Sun inside our heads. Bringing life again. Fire burn me and wind carry me home. Never forgetting the things that you’ve done, and warming the cold inside my heart. Let it be, let it go. Hear the voice of your waters. Watch the tides turn in your favor. Living to love those that hurt us, it’s all that I know. My bones are rebuilding in this moment. Flowers blooming inside my head after my death. Face to face. Heart to heart. Ashes to ashes. Dust to dust. This is the cycle of the human life. This is the only thing that’s mine. God I need to see the light, but I’m afraid to step out of this shell that I call my body. My mind is the darkest source I know. Memories buried below the soil. You’ve killed all I know.

Giving up at the sight of you makes me wonder why we even try. We sit and stare at the ground with faces turned away from the ones we love. Why do you turn away? All I do is wait because you said you’d stay. I forgot the color of your eyes, as I’m sure you’ve forgotten mine.
In the motion given to us, we stand still with the blankest faces.
We don’t know where to go. The darkest days have come, and I don’t know where the better days have gone. I can’t see in the dark. The light left the room. You took it with you. All that is will cease. All you know will cease to be. The sun fell out of the sky and the oceans tide turned on itself for the last time, because I forgot the sound of your voice. The only one I know. Don’t know it anymore. The harder we try, the wider grows the great divide. I guess it’s just the passing of time. Lack of sleep, no peace of mind. I swear, I tried. Although I walk alone, you should know, that’s when I feel at home. You lay in bed and think about who you are and what you’ve done. You sit and stare, your hands are bare because you let all the ones you cared about go. When did you become so cold?
You left me all alone but still I know, I know there’s hope for you.
When the light leaves the room, you’ll see that our true colors show.
The darkness suits you well, for I know that’s where your heart will dwell.

Still At Fault (2015)

I have become what you are. Can’t face these days going alone anymore. An Empty head is all you’ve given me, my thoughts will never surface, they’ll never see the light of day. Now that you’ve just been sinking,
the only peace of mind you get is when you run away from everything that made you love this. Unstable nature. Guess we never had any to begin with, but still, we try to achieve it. I want to love all that you are, but how can I when I can barely love myself? So speak up, speak up, you know it’s what you wanted. I miss you when I’m with you, you’re not the person I knew. Why do I expect for things to change, when all I do is stay the same? You’ve been staring blankly for hours. Your eyes are colder than I could even remember, and my head is empty, void of the memories that kept me company. All I know is that I’m still unstable, I could break at any moment. Yet still you love me, and I am grateful for it. These thoughts are creeping back in, the never ending struggle.I’ve been trying to give you my love but the cycle breaks before I even start it. The cycle breaks before I even start it. Now I can barely face it. So speak up, speak up, you know it’s what you wanted. I miss you when I’m with you because you’re not the person I knew. Why do I expect for things to change, when all I do is stay the same? Now I get nothing. You left me stuck in shame.
That’s all I ever wanted, to just be something greater just to be before our time would end. Now I know that it won’t happen, now who’s to blame for it?

I know that this isn’t like you, and you know that this isn’t much like me. It’s just the way it has to be. I keep telling myself that things will be alright in the end, but I don’t know if I truly believe it. For the past few months I’ve been hoping and praying to look into Gods eyes, and meet him face to face. Maybe one of these days I can finally see the place where I can escape from the hate that I feel every single day. Why do I feel this way? I ask myself every single day, and it’s a damn shame. If I could take back all the moments wasted, maybe then you’d appreciate it. Drove myself to insanity trying to make you feel something. I wasn’t worth your time, so you won’t be taking anymore of mine. Suffering derives from desire, and all we do is isolate, I hope you can sleep at night. I’m sorry that I couldn’t be anything you want me to be. Erased. You won’t hold an impression. Your side of the bed will remain vacant. Close your eyes and drift into an everlasting slumber to escape from the demons you’ve been hiding. Suffer well child, I can see it in your eyes. Suffering derives from desire, and all we do is isolate. Isolate your mind, wooden eyes. Held captive in your eyes.

Suffer just for the night. Separation is the root of your loathing. It’s been tearing away at your mind. Abusing substances just to numb yourself from the pain. You locked your soul away, your skeleton, your bones, a withering cage. Pry away. I’ve been praying that you’ll see the day where you can make peace with your pain, and see the light of day. So I’m letting go of my hate, but the past still gets to me. Its still gnawing at my brain. Whispering sounds of shame. Wander that hollow head, and maybe then you could tell me why you feel so worthless and why you feel so abandoned? So tell me, do you feel isolated? Separated? What good are you dead? Remember that you’re still here. I never left your side, and it kills me to see the doubt in your eyes. I’ve given all I have to your will and it’s never good enough but I’ve been trying, just to show you how much you’re loved. The gallows have been crying out the sound of our names. Only true grace shows permanence, and you’ve been fading away. For days, and weeks, now months on end I’ve been carrying my cross to bear. I’m losing you to your agony, but just know that I’m still right here.

Consume (2016)

Lay me down dead, in a grave to be forgotten. I bred abomination and deserve eternal rotting. Harvest my bones from the earth, deliver me lord. Show me solace. Give me a reason to breathe life into the soulless spirits around me. Love unrequited, remain unconditional. Oh God, show me the way out and suppress the fear into a tangible existence. Consume us now, save us from our own excuses. We are the unworthy. Help me to let go what I abhor. We never learned to live, forget harmony if love does not exist. Loathe the taste of a bitter end. Pull my teeth, don't give me a chance to speak for my health, cause I couldn't face myself. Bind my hands, show me the bitter end. Rescue me. Live in false harmony or die in peace.

Pure (2016)

In the purest of moments you lay heavy on me like a ghost in the flesh. Haunting my dreams and prying away at my teeth. Pull one by one, cut out my tongue. Can you illustrate my true complexion or let me go? Just let me be pure. You'll drown in misery, and rather than speak you'll choke on those words you seek. Asphyxiate me. Drown me in your sea. When the smoke pours from your lungs, you're clouding the person you were. Lost in your head and you can't let go. Your selfishness; all that you know. So show me your love and cleanse me of wrongs. Can you illustrate my true complexion? Your impression upon my vacant chest will cause it's collapse. Leave me somewhere in between consciousness and death.
