Untitled

Out of my dreams and into my life..
Unbelievable.
You stole the matches from my book.
Put out the fire in my eyes.
I need you to leave me alone..
We ran our courses, going no where.
I close my eyes, I want to leave my body.
Will you wait for me after I fall asleep?
Hail the king of death.
I try to stand. You keep pushing me down, pushing me down.
My kingdom falls.
An empty throne placed in the dark.
Do you feel like a man when you push her around?
Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground?
A closet you cannot close.
The devil in you I suppose.
A desperate aching wonder, will you ever... ever let me off my knees?
I could live, I could die, hanging onto the words you say.
I listen to the words you're saying, words
I'm fighting to believe.
I look and beg for truth.
How can you love me and lie?
You pollute me with your lies.
Your secrets have come out.
You justified my doubt.
Can you tell me that I'm wrong?
This pain in my chest got me hoping that sometime that we can make it better than it was before.
Too many nights I grabbed my own chest
Saw my own death
Dying on the ground, asking why I couldn't see because every devil that I've ever loved looked just like a saint so
By these thoughts I'm hiding in my brain, Cause I've been holding them down but they twist me violently.
guess sometimes I picture my finger still there on your cheek..
Thought you were beside me
But I reached and you were gone..
It is what it is.
We had our time.

This isn't fair(no)
Don't you try to blame this on meee
My love for you was bulletproof
But you're the one who shot me.
Yeah, I'm trying hard to forget all the color in your eyes.
Those ocean eyes...
This mark you've made on me can't be erased.



The darkest days, the darkest nights, I won't stop until the day I die.
I can't replace you, I can't escape you, now.
Every night I'm dreaming I could hold you,
Every time I wake up all alone.
Loving you, no, I don't know why I do it..
Loving you is so hard it leaves me with bruises,
Loving you is like dancing without music..
How to danee in time...maybe in another lifetime.
Like a poison filling my veins, you're the antidote.
Cause even angels die, too, they die in the dark.
When you're too in love to let it go...
I'll be going through withdrawal of you for this one night we have spent.
Does the hurt and the love disappear?
Sometimes I pretend you are still here..
And I can't live without your love and I can't die..
The one with no one....
Cause baby we don't work no more
And I don't wanna hurt no more
I'm at war in my head everyday, I've been screaming and fighting for peace.
My will it breaks, you left me broken down all over the floor.
Don't wanna try anymore.
I can't take anymore. won't break again.
Living in this world gets harder everyday.
Need to remind myself to breath.
I've fought for this, I've bled for this.
There is no turning back now.
If I'm gunna survive, I'lI make it barely alive.
Still battling all of my demons, all because of you.
Fighting for air, I'll fight to survive.
My soul's not for sale, I won't pay the price.
Loving you isn't the right thing to do.
Whisper words of wisdom
Let it be
And I will be content in every circumstance.
I send this smile over to you
Disarm you with a smile
And leave you like they left me here to wither in denial.
Remember me with a smile on my face.
One last time, I tell myself everytime.
Another one bites the dust..
