Why speak
when words become weak
and everything you want is in the darkness
and you are forever alone
...

Everything in me starts turning,
as a darkness gently shrouds.
The blood within in me begins burning,
as it creeps in with the clouds.
...

From the sun's descent to its rising,
everything inside me begins devising.
All the soul within me realizing,
any doubt I am now disguising.
...

I don’t live like I used to
I don’t know me like I once knew
The things I hear I cannot comprehend
What was real to me, to you was pretend
...

It feels like times stopped since that moment
Like I haven't been alive since then
Memories are all I know
What is presently happening
...

Our time is done - the party has ended
I lost one and i'm slightly offended
I tried hard to make it work
Nothing ever works
...

My soul's made of stone
From triumph to tragedy
A mountain has grown
...

I hear lies in the words you say
Your mouth molds truth like clay
I feel distance in the love you display
You must have slept with Emily today
...

I wonder what i'll have learned
by the time I meet my death..
Will every second have counted,
or only the last breath?
...

How can the sun be so high in the sky
While i'm down here dull, barely alive
Why does it get to shine so brightly
When I try my hardest and all my efforts spite me
...

i look up to a black universe
then down at dirty bare feet
there must be nothing worse
than feelin the darkness inside of me
...

My arms reach for heaven
but my feet are firmly rooted in hell
I'd like to escape the fire
but i'm not doing well
...

I apologize for relying so heavily on you
I’m sorry for the times I put on or withdrew
I never meant to confuse or push you away
I heard people talk but who were they
...

I wish I had sent you that message
I'll never have the chance again
I thought you'd always be there
I never thought til when
...

I want to experience freedom like borders don't exist
to experience life like time no longer persist
to live humbly and die gracefully
to accept who I am and be proud
...

I want this alone feeling to go away
So I can rule the day
I curse the day
I live to say
...

Born and raised under smoke towers
I grew up on soil that greed powers
Wealth sours - round here are found no flowers
When it rains, I advise you to avoid the showers
...

Days left unlived
Truths left unspoken
- a pain like this
Leaves a person broken
...

thank you god for the blunts
and for making me fend for my own
praise the prophets for this hunt
and all that they wrote in stone
...

a hole so deep
really scars a heart this weak
killing me from the inside
fasting, ipecac, pain, I lied
...
