Oh my God— if only he knew that drowning doesn't look like thrashing, it looks like stillness. Like bleeding ink onto walls that won’t answer back.

You tied the noose that I hang from I stare at the writing on the wall I feel like all the words are written wrong My feet can’t find the stall I wish my thoughts would just be gone I am the rope in which they tie I can’t seem to shape the future of my life Got me thinking am I...

There is so much pain inside of me. My heart is sinking deep in my chest. My body has grown so weak, But I hurt too much to rest . I try to remember when I was happy, Yet those memories won't come back. Where those memories should be, I can't see anything but black. My memories of happiness are gone. They have all...

Engulfed in the smouldering dusk of a fractured nation, A voice claws through the cracks of static screens, And suppressed speakers, A distorted hymn for the disenchanted, A battle cry for the misled. The people in power berate us with Propaganda and paranoia pumped into our living rooms, ...

I was once quite happy Then one day it went away This numbness and pain moved in I believe it's here to stay. What used to make me laugh Now only seems to make me cry.

The freak world filled with fuss, that ravage your hope at once, here only to humiliate and judge. Wanna push in the well of extreme dark night, a well of nowhere, from which no that can pull out, You alone have to lose or win this worldly fight. If you're bright and fine, these freaks will be near,...

Ill burn you, To the ground. Let the vapors gasp in empty airs around you, And suck into themselves until nothing is left to drip across these acres of empty soil. I'll tear you from the very skin aching for leave from the sinew drenched upon your bones. Frequencies of follicles, a fallacy facade. Faking. F'd you into the floor. Foment you...
