That Happy Smile of This Girl I Know

I want a reason to live
My heart wrenches in pain all too often
Tears stream down my cheeks 
Trembling lips
An urge to scream loudly

I hold it all in. 

There are way too many thoughts swirling in my head
Dizziness and a feeling of loneliness 
Creeping right under my skin
A mental breakdown is soon to show

I hold it all in.

Everyday I get closer to believe
Death might be a better place
For one who is nothing
but a hindrance to oneself 

I hold it all in.

Thoughts of doing harm again
It is getting tough not to do so
Letting everything spill on the floor
The water stealing every drop away

I hold it all in.

Weights fallen drastically 
Who notices, no one
Trying to be pretty
Who am I kidding?
I am nothing but bones
A shell yet full of too many emotions. 

La la la la.
 Mind not clear.
 Eyes clouded. 
Throat soar. 
Body numb.
 I want to leave.

Somewhere faaaaar away. 

I am afraid of the day 
I can not hold it all in
That day shall be
My Death
Wandering off to somewhere else
Fed with lies from all sides

I am Alone.

Did You Know

I have thought your name a thousands times
But it have never crossed my lips

I know your curves as if I have hugged you countless times
But never have I touched you

I have known you for several years by now
But never have I met you

I know what you like and dislike
But never have you told me

I want to be the one by your side
But that won't ever happen

Because 
I know this is real life
And you do not even know I exist.

Shut Up

So shut up 
while I carve out your heart 
with this spoon in my hand
'cause now you're mine; 
so get over yourself 
You priceless prostituted attention seeker
I'll give you want you want
So shut up

Everyone will know you 
from the News tomorrow
as the kid with some dreams to follow
who got brutally murdered down
This is what you wanted
So shut up

Let me see those red lips of yours
against the wall
No worries; I'll leave you 
after I'm done
laying in a pool of blood all swollen
I gave you  what you wanted
So shut the f*ck up

It was your own fault 
from the beginning 
you just couldn't stop
your ugly red mouth
from blabbering non-stop
All you had to do
was to just shut up

Now I've made you.
You have now shut up.

Morning Ritual

generation nothing
useless
a horrible person
flabby and fat
ugly
part of the generation that did nothing
sleep
i need to go to work
they'll hate me if i do not
so useless
i need a bath
worthless trash
nothing matters
forget the world
i'm gonna die young
you have to go there are people waiting for you
i know
i'm so useless
let's just sleep for now
sleep
regret later

That One

You stood up
Took that Bullet
Took that Shot
All they ever wanted was blood

Now they've seen it
Now they're gone
You're all forgotten
In the day to come

It Really Did End, Did It Not

So I cry and I cry
These long awaited tears falling hard
Reassuring that I do have a heart
That I do miss them All

How I wish I could go back
So I start to think about the past
I should have woke up long ago
Should have enjoyed it real slow

Instead I cut them off
Locked the door
Closed everything but One
Little window on the wall
Where through I heard them everyday
Laughter and joy 
Reaching my Core

How I miss them 
Yearh I miss them
How I miss them 
How I miss them
 
If I could 
Then I would
Go back to those days
Open that damn door
Walk along those floors

Just being there 
In the moment
With them All
That is right now, what I long for.

Forget Them

They know nothing about us
Still they judge and they frown at us
Oh baby close your eyes
forget all the others
It's just us
can't you tell
We where made for each other
