Bottle Cap

I've given it thought 

I've tried reading your heart 

It never worked 

cause you made me wanna kill my art.



What am I doing?

Maybe I should just leave myself alone

and bite my bones 

What am I saying? 

Bloody sheets and a bloody bed 

It's just me dead silent in my head.



I wanna kill you but I still want your teeth in my back

I loved you but you make me wanna snap 

I hate you but I still need your bottle cap.



You held me hostage 

I allowed it 

cause I wanted the attention.

Stockholm syndrome 

except now your the one tied up in my head.

Holding my weapon

wondering if you should be alive or dead .


What am I thinking? 

Is it possible for you to die?

are you even alive?.

What am I feeling?

Maybe I'm the one who is at fault

cause I seesaw leaving myself alone.



I wanna kill you but I still want your teeth in my back 

I loved you but you make me wanna snap

I hate you but I still need your bottle cap.



I've given it thought 

What's the point of my status ?

when are bodies will decay or be ashes.

Inscription of my milestones

Never mind that

if I'm unable to read my own gravestone.

Premeditated murder 

I'll still be charged whether it does or doesn't work.


Bottle cap in my pocket,

will I keep or toss it?
 
Warm or cold heart ?

all I know is that I'm a murderer of my own art.

Stranger Danger

Everyday you see strangers

                      not all of them are of danger 

                      what if you find a new friend?

              what if you find more than ten of them?.

                     Will you say hello or goodbye?

                      will you laugh or will you cry?

                a process that goes through your mind.

                            Dangerous decisions

                          stranger danger visions 

                      the outcome is a scary lesson.

                      Two wrongs don't make a right,

          whether it's either easy or hard for you to decide 

                 you'll know if you have fight or flight.

Tune

On these sunny days I sadly feel blue

Where is the phone call that you said would happen soon?

Now my guitars out of tune

and my body aches in the afternoon

but for some reason I can't wait to tell you.

On these darkest nights I'm still not tired 

quit my job before I could get fired  

then I hear your voice on the radio 

and you sang my name so now I know 

I'm still your love even at your shows.

My guitars now in tune

and I dance in the afternoon

but I still can't wait to tell you.

Joker

I'm the joker
                       the clown who can behave
                    but people can still walk away
                 If I cry then my makeup will smear
        so I wipe it away,till I'm alone to release my tears.
                           I can be your clown
                          all you gotta do is ask
                        if you change your mind
                        then I'll take off my mask.
                          Am I a attention seeker 
                 or do I feel like I'm easily forgotten?
                        maybe the clown makeup 
                         is my way of protection
                         cause if you see my tears
                   then my feelings may be spoken
           different outcomes and different reactions 
          maybe my troubles are to much for the person.
                             I can be your joker
                          all you gotta do is ask     
                        if you change your mind
                        then I'll take off my mask.

Exordium

Caution may vary to some of society 
but what happens when the words you write or speak
cause confusion to those who refuse to dig
like when a dog dig's for it's buried bone,
whether you are serious or silly,
you can't deny you have felt pain before.

Disturb Me

I've got a heart that is racing 
I've got bones that are aching
I've got a voice that is shaking.

If you dare to call me your friend
be prepared when you see my disturbances.

Can you explain to me
is it sad to go from disturbed to disturbing?.

I've got eyes that are seeing
I've got skin that is bleeding
I've got teeth that are decaying.

Hey don't feel bad
if you see me go mad.

Don't you dare call me a feen
just let me sit back
and I'll let you disturb me.

If you can't stand the way I am
well your not the only one my friend.
