Dying Drugs

The feeling of weightless falling overcomes you,
A strong drug overdose your trying to pull through,
Down a deep roughcut well,
Glowing light at the bottom lies hell,
You press your fingers and toes on the sides,
Grinding them to nubs as your body still slides,
The pain and terror are unbearable,
You realize dying like this is terrible

A Foolish Chase

I fell in love with your unique beauty and grace,
And found the feeling irresistable to not follow and chase,
So i tagged along after it for these few seasons,
But now you've blown a hole in my chest for unknown reasons,
This excruciating pain makes me wish i was never born,
The rose i care for has scarred me with its thorn,
Though throughout the time we spent together i must confess,
I still have fond memories of when you used to show your gentleness,
Now you've left my heart tattered and abused,
I feel as if somehow i was just lured in and used

Silent Shadow

Silent and always there to mimick you,
The shadow quick to never fall behind,
It appears as if its stretching from the tip of your tennis shoe,
Away into the distance in a straight line,
You cant hide from it or loose it no matter what,
With an arsenal of weapons you try to take it out,
Only to find it's immune to any hole or cut

Seeping Depression

Im the one that says i love you and means it but still its me you deceive,
And you know i'll be crushed by depession yet you still choose to leave,
You said it yourself that us being together was fate,
But now your leaving me in a depressed suicidal state,
You deserting me has formed a scar that runs unimaginally deep,
And from it sadness and loneliness constantly seep,
Unable to be stopped by any cover or patch,
Not even by a new door with a latch,
What you've done to me seems like a curse,
Pain never getting better only growing steadily worse

The Powerful Government

The powerful government,
Twisting and shaping us like new born cement,
Using us for its personal protective barrier,
Each of us are added as another brick in the wall,
Growing and expanding it becomes even more scarier,
Until a small group finds truth and breaks away leaving it to fall,
Its deceitful ways have now lead to no government at all

Bad High

Your legs start to twitch and shake,
It feels like a bad dream only your still awake,
Your stomach feels like its about to disappear,
Your brain tingles screaming i dont want to be here,
Your whole body is booming with a numbing sensation,
Like your nerves just packed up and left on vacation,
All feeling is lost throughout your hands,
Unable to move like their bound by rubberbands,
You feel the urgent need to stop and catch some air,
Cold and windy but you dont notice or care,
You start to relax as the cold calms you down,
Gaining a sense of control your mind stops racing around,
Your hands are now uncramped and a little more freely moved,
And you realize your bodies condition has greatly improved,
Relieved that your hands are now free of any net, 
It was a feeling you'll never forget

Dont Drift Away

We talk about being together forever,
But will we know for sure....no not never,
Our feelings for each other are so very strong,
Thats why we think we'll be together so long,
I just hope these feelings will always stay,
And that our love for each other wont drift away,
But just in case one day it decides to start,
I want you to know i'll always hold you tight in my heart

Shiver

When i look deep into your eyes,
It sometimes makes me shiver and realize,
That i absolutely dread the day of our goodbyes

Admirer

When i grow up im gonna be just like you is what he said,
And no matter what that thought couldnt be changed in his head,
Im gonna dress and do everything you've done he preached,
And no matter how hard nothing else could be teached,
He used to say im gonna copy everything and follow the exact same street,
Seeing and meeting all the same things you had to meet,
Everyone knew my life had been long and hard,
Unsuccessfully they tried to keep his mimicking of me barred,
Knowing it would lead him to where he is now in the ground,
He would of never made it living in the conditions id been around,
It was a one in a million chance for me living like i did to make it through,
For some reason he envied my lifestyle and thought he could do it too

Strong Thought

Quiet powerful thoughts swirl around inside,
A mystery to everyone they always choose to hide,
Dark and mysterious they want to live in the dark,
Always on the lookout for the tiniest spark,
Overtime they multiply becoming a stressful load,
On the brink of cracking they're set off and your mind explodes,
You find out that holding it all in was wrong,
The person everyone knew you as is gone
