Once
Rain drips into your blue sky
Disturbing the eagle eye
View you have of my misery
Painted in dark symmetry.
And how can I hold it in
With this growing din
Echoing in my ears?
And all this pain... it sears...
Right through my broken soul
Knowing that I am not whole.
But you sit and watch and wait
Because you're biding your time
And securing your bait.
I can't stop you now -
Don't think I know how.
If I stop to breathe
I know I might grieve
For all that is past
When I thought that this would last
Forever...
Yet... I beg you to stay close
Needing even your ghost
To keep me safe when I doze
And I need you the most...
But a broken heart
Will fall all apart
Without the glue to hold it,
And without the love to mold it.
I won't ask you to stay;
Just have it all your way.
I hope you feel better,
Though I can't write a letter
To tell you this
Knowing I miss
Every part of you
That was once so close to me... Recycle Me
Tick, tock, tick, tock, tick, tock -
Please, someone smash this clock?
All it does is hurt me
Chiming out so curtly.
I don't need to know the time!
Feels like I committed a crime...
Though you say I did something wrong.
Why don't you just join the throng
Waiting to tear me down?
And stamp me into the ground?
Did I really hurt you
Or was this a game too?
I feel so sick in the head
Silently wishing I was dead.
So go paint the walls red
And fill my shoes with lead,
Throw me in the river,
Go back to the life giver...
And hand me in... as your prize...
With no life left in my eyes... Doctor's Orders
How shall I compare thee to a Summer's day?
'Not at all,' I hear you pray though you say
That you have tired of all this talk
And inwardly I must baulk
At what I know these words to mean.
With a heavy heart, and unseen,
I creep away from this dreadful place
Trying to hide my burning face
And all the tears that I spilled there
Although I know you did not care...
Punish me as much as you will
'Cause you're killing me with this sweet pill.
It tasted like sugar at first
But now I know it's the worst
Medicine in the whole world
As your intentions are unfurled. | Understand this
You think I'm
Doing this 'cause of you
You don't know
What I'm going through.
I wish I
Knew what to say
When you ask
What it is today.
I don't want to be me any more
I don't want to be knocking at your door
I've got to quit this cycle;
Step out of the rain;
Stop pretending that I
Don't feel all of this pain,
But if I do... you just...
You just don't care.
Even when I keep all
Of my heart bare.
If I gave you the knife
Would you stick it straight in
Or would you twist it first
For some cardinal sin
You did not deserve?
And what about my life,
My pain and my heartache,
My trouble and my shame?
So wait for me to break;
Because you know that I
Saw the cracks in the mirror.
And you know that I was
Down, crawling on the floor,
Waiting for your final blow,
Wishing these knees weren't so sore.
But you just kept at it;
Gouging my heart so bloody raw.
The balaclava was
So much better than
When I put my mask on.
Now you know that you can
Still see my face when you
Plunge the dagger deeper in,
Spraying the wall dark red,
Making such an awful din.
The shrill noise of our aching hearts
Threatens to tear the world apart.
I didn't stop you because I couldn't,
But if I could have I know I wouldn't.
Just pull me, blood from bone
And listen out for that
Thickly filled, dreadful groan
To signal that I'm dead to you;
That knowingly I bled for you
Just to see you smile again
When you step out of the rain
From all this pain
That I never meant to cause you... Nameless
Just another day
A day where I'm waiting for you
Make me fade away.
Everything is falling through...
Such a painful way... Unutterable...
You're flying high, but the kite is burning,
And as youpanic, the wind is turning.
Soon there will be nothing left to salvage
Because the flames are turning so savage.
Your day dreams are like matchstick wood;
Eventually they become no good;
You have to seek a different way
Because your dreaming doesn't pay.
Nobody is there to hold your hand
And tell you that they understand
You know that they would if they only could
Though you know they shan't, not that they can't.
And their spoken words will say one thing;
Unspoken things will say another. |
