Bullied To Sleep

Taken
My own life
Buried 6 feet under
Under the humiliation 
Under the laughter
Under the teasing
Under the thought that I am less of a person
That I am less of person
That I should be less of me
My casket is a broken cocoon 
My mind finally at peace 
My parents siblings and family all stand to there feet
The gospel is spoken 
I'm lifted up to heaven
When I've awoken 
I'm just back in hell again

Tears

Pull me into the tide
But don't pull me under
Keep me out of the rain
But let me hear the thunder
The grip of life pulls me closer to death
Why is living so confusing
Yet it's so simple to die
I want to tell you how I feel
I tried to tell you
But my tears drowned my thoughts
The word wanted to jump out of my mouth
Just like I wanted to jump
Just like i wanted to overdose
Slit my wrist, cry, and forget
It's that simple
Everything is gone

Who Are Me

Who are you
Like the days you change 
Maybe you are the product of my destruction 
My lies, tied to broken promises
Merged together with our most painful memories
Ashes as the sand and lava as the waves
You as my breathe 
I'm poisoned by the thought 
That I did this to you

Most Loved Love

This love is like nothing I've ever felt before
I feel like a fat kid in a candy store
The way we laugh and stare each other 
Let's me know I want you for forever 
The only reason I fall asleep 
Is so that maybe you could be in my dream

Like the lights that shine on Christmas eve 
You brighten up my day with just a thought or a memory

Our love is something special
Something no one can take away
Our love is a dark night that has been turned into day
Our love is the titanic 
Although we may sink
Our love will always be held in our memories 

If you were an angel I would be the wings
If you were a bee I would the sting 
If you were sail I would be the boat
If you were a root beer I would be the float
Without you my life is pointless 
I'm just a fish in the sea
Waiting for someone to catch me
Without you I'm just legs without feet
I'm falling down 
Please catch me

Our love will last forever and ever 
You are the salt and I'm the pepper

I'D Rather Fall Asleep Then Fall In Love

Holdin on to the last piece of my heart 

Keep your eyes open even when it's dark

You stole a part of me and tried to give it back

But I thought I saw the light right before the crack

I don't want what you have to offer; you've given me enough

I'd rather fall asleep then to fall in love

Memories

Everything reminds me of you
The beach
And the way you waved... goodbye
The way you waved goodbye.... 
Reminds me of how I made you cry
Sorry for the pain I caused you
Sorry that you still loved me
Even when I hurt you... you forgave me
Why? 
Was it love, was I blind 
But the funny thing is I'm happier now 
I'm happier
But the funny thing is you don't even care 
You've moved on
And that kills me inside 
That burns my soul 
You once made me whole
But now you just leave hole
So this is my goodbye..... to you
And my hello to me
The new me

Feelings of My Shadows

I can feel the heavy shadows as they wonder through the tunnels of my soul

The reflection of them..... are unknown 

The sounds I once listened to don't sooth my old spirit

But even the deaf people I once knew can truly hear it

The tears I once cried now quench my thirst 

The last girl that I loved is really my first
