Mortification Fortified
Stimulated off of asphyxiation
Chortling silence kills me alive
Ignoring the pain of your rain
I’m your everything
I’m nothing without you
Love is where home is
Joy is where home is
Spiraling, mad as a hornet once again
Spinning, sad cuz my heart is broken
Hello…darling stillness of your breathing
I hear your singing and melt instantaneously
I have no one to talk to at this moment…
Just give me a head’s up when you need me
I turned the other cheek on stage
I gave in to second guessing rage
My dream is to be a performer…
I suppose I’m just this writer…
Living a lie
Living a lie
Bottling these tears of bipolar depression
I lost vision and feelin’ like giving up
Suddenly, I recognize that yesterday is gone
Today is the new me…
Tomorrow is a wandering sea
Twisting and turning snakes snarl and grimace at me at night
I am as bold as a lion…
I’m a vivacious champion,
Hanging on the chandelier
Without any form of fear
All the time, I see sorrow
Can’t wait for tomorrow
Dying alive in your arms
Dying alive in your arms
Giving in to your charms
Giving in to your charms
Becuz I’m brainwashed as it is…
Hypnotized to your tune of the abyss
Coldness and distress is in excess
I’m making lots and lots of progress
Buried alive,
But I survived
Empty and alive
Vacantly staring at stars that refuse to shine
You’re mine like a red cup of purple-green wine
Why can’t I be all the way normal?
Normal is a demon in disguise
I am weird, awe-inspiring and tall
Quiet down, you gals and guys
I’m going through episodes of troublesome times
I’m through with you…
I’m sorry for being rude –
I must intrude your space
I have the attitude of gratitude
I’m not proud and arrogant
Compared to you, I’m a hard-working ant…
I wipe the sweat from my forehead
Dreaming that this dread would disappear
I hold you oh so dear…
I’m sorry for taking you for granite
Give me a reason
To overcome the waves of emotion
Give me another season
I can’t stand the silence and commotion
I’m abashed frankly and screaming out aloud,
But no one hears
Years and years later, I move away from the crowd
I have bleeding ears
Rejected, but I’ll see you on the other side
Infected, but I’ll smell you on the other side
Distracted, but I’ll touch you on the other side
Affection floods into me…I’ll hear you on the other side
Interaction is blood to my veins…I have the confidence to go on a Six Flags ride
Because I have ambition from above
His Spirit accepts me…not you, love
