You Haunt Me

You’re the tame auspiciously lurking in the still of my nightmares, frivolously evicting the static that haunts my memories, illuminating this frantic mind if even for a second.

Crippling the narrow minded ways in which I’ve become entrapped, a one way road futile in substance and willingness to succeed

The savior of superficiality aligning the monstrosity of a broken roar, promising problems putter to the likening of a minuscule oblivion

Idiosyncrasies

Stranded with lost love, the idiosyncrasies connect, like constellations in galaxies yet to be seen, deprived, deranged, disembodied emotions drift disconcertingly into each others night. Fasting on the fruits of each others use to be labors, the loins of desire become prey to temptations succulent hunger for lustful delicacies. 

Astray they've stayed  prudently, pampering, one another's ego, guided by their  ideology of serendipitous sanctuaries stranded on a wayward island one too many nautical moons away from reality, begast at last the relics of yesteryears imprudent mis happenings dwindle to nothing like the eparescent tropical breeze bombarding the sails of their makeshift raft 

Arise the whys of untold byes on a disenthused daunting cruise, body languages serinate one anothers touch, likening the waves elegantly blending in the hearts of two promiscuous passengers propagating subtle maybes lost in the Seas of what use to be. 

At last the seas of the past disintegrate into the star soaked sky, the waves start to pitter patter against the sandy rock littered shore like two lovers anxst driven heartbeats, shining seamlessly through  freedoms imperfections, as if to give an oman of suggestion that a challenge awaits but love will see them through it.

Suicide

Verse 1- Pick up the present put the past down, with the future in the front it makes sense now, ain't no time for getting past this, put the finger to the trigger with no witneas, if this is life I won't miss it, coming off the press like I'm a misprint, the barrel getting closer I can feel it, there's no heaven only darkness,  
Boom(gunshot)

Chorus- This pain I'm fighting all alone in a battle no one else has known, this is where it ends misleading misleading down to none, I'm bleeding till it's gone open wounds they will remain, fighting back this pain  retreating retreating I slowly go insane, Life is Lost I'm gone, pleading to myself, I'm fading im fading it's all gone 

Verse 2-Falling down to nothing in a quickness, sorry I can't fix this, the shadows they surround me, close minded I'm no victim, no more breathing I'm the only witness, lost myself if you can hear this, put your most into this there's no rearranging, second chances fleeting fading, in a mind that has betrayed me, closed eyes no more breathing closed eyes no more feeling. 

Chorus- This pain I'm fighting all alone in a battle no one else had known, this is where it ends misleading misleading down to none, I'm bleeding till a gone open wounds they will remain, fi0ighting back this pain  retreating retreating I  go insane, Life is Lost I'm gone, pleading for myself, I'm fading im fading life is all but  it's all gone

Verse 3- No more pain, no more feeling, suicide is my only chance at healing, I wish this wasn’t true, boom(gunshot). Close the curtains here’s the darkness, with the mirror in the front it makes sense now, alls I can see is what’s behind me, no more breathing only only darkness, no more breathing only darkness. 

Chorus- This pain I'm fighting all alone in a battl known to none, this is where it ends misleading misleading down to none, I'm bleeding till a gone open wounds they will remain, fi0ighting back this pain  retreating retreating I  go insane, Life is Lost I'm gone, pleading for myself, I'm fading im fading life is all but  it's all gone

Armourless Hearts

Verse 1- Lets take the hearts from our armor and lift off the chains, well dance with the relics and drink cheap champagne, let the arrows speak justice, will play Tim and Jane, with nothing to lose well go ever so fast, the dresses stay white we will leave shame with the past, we’ll blame it all on cynics and all their silly games cause we’re fall ing in 

Chorus- Looooove and the dances of our two left feet and  daddy’s in aisles giving away his baby girl will toast to the critics and sing to the crowd living a love both faithful and proud I’ll give till death in ways that they won’t part and we’ll  all come down to an end with no ending and white picket  fences we’ll be the new beginning …….

Verse 2-Remember when strangers turned to be friends than lovers found foes no Jack and Diane’s only whimsical issues no hearts left to mend the fairy’s have tales no more bitter ends and well fall to our  faces laughing ever so slightly never regretting the days when it rains or walking on shells cause the whole town will know us cause we’re falling

Chorus- Looooove and the dances of left feet and  daddy’s in aisles giving away his baby girl will toast to the critics and sing to the crowd living a love both faithful and proud I’ll give till death in ways that they won’t part and we’ll  all come down to an end with no ending and white picket  fences we’ll be the new beginning….. 

Verse 3- The end draws near as we run to the wild living in silence well talk with out speaking with no bitter ends. Our thoughts will have meaning cause you will know me and I will now you, growing old while staying young our songs will be sung until the course of our ending is running in cause we are falling 

Chorus- Looooove and the dances  of left feet and  daddy’s in aisles giving away his baby girl will toast to the critics and sing to the crowd living a love both faithful and proud I’ll give till death in ways that won’t part and we’ll  all come down to an end with no ending and white picket  fences we’ll be the new beginning

Unity

Where a system incarcerated to a belief, that the belief in a thousand is only as good as in one,  standing in unison never folding, divided is a weakness in which we have none, the shade in that valley gets darker the deeper you go, the shadows ain't your nightmares it's just on the road, were not the evil you fear but the reckoning of your reckless cast out of your sight, In the dead of the day we're coming for vegence, the rememberence of souls we will willingly collect the stipulations of propositions we willingly neglect, kneel to the shadows as we remain standing, bow to the worthy the original sons, bow to the mighty the original ones, vengeance know no peace till the until the wicked are done.

Id change

Verse 1- It’s like I’m here in the past, A depiction of first but I’m coming in last, I know you wanted this so disregard my regret, 
As I slowly lite this bowl imma toast a couple to you, cause ain’t no one got me like you got me addiction it’s true, you been by my side since my first steps my first breath you changed my life so no regrets, I got a feeling you’ll be there till I ain’t got nothing left, your my pain my misery my dreams right out the door, when I was scared to fly you clipped my wings now I don’t know how to soar. 

Chorus- I’d change but then you wouldn’t 
notice 
My shame don’t fall right In front of me 

My tears fall cause I don’t know how to be 

I’m falling out I’m back to none my feelings fade I save this one calling out I need your help with my last breath I scream it out.

If I tried would you even notice me 

Cause my blame it don’t fall right in front of me 

I’d cry cause I know you wouldn’t miss me 

 

Verse 2- I guess feelings have changed but I stayed the same. This name they don’t know it unless you are involved the game done changed it seems I’m a problem to solve. It ain’t my ways, it ain’t the same in fact if you weren’t involved this chapter wouldn’t have no ink at all. I’m bleeding out I’m fading fast I’m almost to the point of no return so save your self the curtains calling my last breath my last steps the encore is falling. 

Chorus- 
I left but you wouldn’t let me be 
  
If I changed would you even notice me 

Cause my shame falls right in front of me 

I’m falling out I’m back to none my feelings fade I save this one calling out I need your help with my last breath I scream it out.

If I change would you even notice me 

You said you’d be the one to better me 

You lied now I can’t see the same 
  
I’d cry but I don’t think their missing me 
   

Verse 3- I pictured and envisioned a different path but I’ve hit from the first to my last. I promise this new bottom will be my new last, I was destined to fall now I’m destined to soar I put my faith in my something greater now you’re gonna watch me fly 

Chorus- I changed and you wouldn’t notice me 

I’m scared but not like I use to be 

Cause this time I’m scared of positivity 

You asked why 

And I said cause I let go of you 

I change for what’s inside of me 

What’s inside of me

Dark Eyes

Dark eyes deep soul she'll take control or give it away, a passing by on a glance just won't do, to the bias view shes a bit off que, the dim light ain't her right, left it for the vocal que thats right in tune,  she replaced  it and gave it a lime, now she shines brighter. Believes that beauty, is a movie in sweats with a minion. Cocky controls her swag, knows that all that she has is more than enough, her sexi is  addictive if mischief made grace she'd have her in spades. She's got the gift of the gab tell you she dont use, then check into rehab. Elegance right beside her. Beautiful isn’t fair, in the crossing air she’ll give you a myth, to mystify your thoughts and show you a standard, god don't make mistakes infact he planned her.

She’s Savage

She’s a savage about her promise it’s were her faith resides,  
Riding in the reckless she’s a sinners sanctioned dream, 
You’ll find it if her lingos lost it’s something she can’t hide
A woman with a past she left her vices in the moment,
Living for the here and now she gives a  about atonement, 
Breaking down and saving face is a bill that she won’t pay, 
Widowed from a life of lies she claims no exes name,
Fame in hostile violence she lives a life of no remorse,
Betrayal made her faithful in the chaos of its course
Courage saved her silence on gods back road Bible Belt 
The worth of her new self image depicted on her smile 
Strength in new found faith she wears it with no shame 
Savage bout her promise she keeps it close by her name
