we try and we try
to make use of what's inside
but we look towards the past
and lose sight of what we have
with so much to look down upon
so much we can frown upon
it's easy to feel we've failed
but there's still a sun in the sky
and there's still you and i
and there will always be much more
that's worth smiling for
12/13/09 (nervous/sorry/sad/mad)
chew my nails down to the bone
because i know that i'm still alone
and i am heading back to my home
i'm heading back to the cold
these are the days it never rains, but it pours
far from you, far from where it's warm
i want you back each day more and more
but i know that's not what i've got in store
i don't want to leave
i want you here with me
but i don't think
that will ever be
12.01.09 (going home)
if i bury my heart
in the sand
will it sprout up
whole again
will it learn
again to love
if i water
it enough
if i buy fertilizer
from the nearest
drug store
will it be stronger?
will i feel more?
you've torn it apart
with your
contagious broken heart
but i don't
hold it against you
i know your intentions
really were true
and as january
slowly nears
it all becomes
kind of clear
while this has been
a wild ride
i have tried
and tried and tried
and so time
kind of slows
as my heart
grows and grows
and i really
miss the snow
i want to be cold
in the sand
will it sprout up
whole again
will it learn
again to love
if i water
it enough
if i buy fertilizer
from the nearest
drug store
will it be stronger?
will i feel more?

11/14/09 (taking it for granted)
the world is a beautiful, ugly place
we're an ungrateful, greedy, selfish race
we take our lives for granted
we're a fucking disgrace!
we've got all the time (in the world)
to ruin our lives
but we ruin each others instead
we fuck and destroy our heads
billions of dying hearts
and even more being torn apart
drunk driving fucks
running out of luck
today is the day we all die
10/15/09 (silly sad song about what was to come)
i am a tailor
of the saddest kind
because the things that i create
will never be mine
a life of leisure
a love so true
a family, a career
and to sail the ocean blue
my hopes and dreams
i sew and weave
my plots and schemes
i stitch and conceive
but to no avail
i am doomed, i am cursed, i am fated
to always fail
so i keep on dredging
on through the night
and with each passing day
i construct another plight
another aspiration!
cursed with misfortune!
but you my dear, will be
my biggest disappointment
because you fooled me to think i could be loved
when i couldn't
i could have called this from the start,
but i didn't
10/16/09 (ghostly prediction)
every night i dream of a ghost
but like your love for me it comes and it goes
i'm hopeless romantic
my heart is quite frantic
and it beats like a clock
every tick and every tock
and like a thinning cloud
i disappear without a sound
into the caverns of my mind
i will forever hide
and the gears in my heart
turned slowly from the start
i guess i should have known
that my heart would never be whole
that true love would not be found
not before i'm underground
and my soul will remain
like a dirty blood stain
no more of what i am but what i am not
i'm the one you said you'd love,
but just as easily forgot
10/13/09 (superficial blues)
the chemicals inside my brain
are finally acting up again
i knew it had been too long for me
to continue feeling so damn happy
but this hole really isn't that deep
and i feel that there's still hope for me
well maybe not, i mean who really knows
because i know i don't, or at least suppose
and you can trust me as far as a stones throw
so i think it's best that i just go away
but i'm slipping back into my old ways
where i never really feel quite ok
where the fluids swirling round my head
tell me that i'd be much better off dead
because i hate this place and everyone too
and i'm pretty fucking sure that you all hate me too
because this world is too concerned with what's cool
no cares for another, they just want to look good
you're no longer judged for what's inside your heart
now we're all characterized by the cost of our cars
are you beautiful? are you young?
are you skinny? are you hung?
are you tall? what size cup?
are you dead? is there love?
is there love?
10/10/09
i am defective
i am a broken toy
i'm a sad, sorry, sappy
misplaced little boy
twenty years i've grown
twenty more i'll die
i'll spend my time forgetting things
i will lose my mind
i'm a robot
i'm a hate machine
i've been taught to distrust and to dislike
damn near every thing
i'm a holy ghost
i'm a miracle
i'm the reason you smile when you awake
and before you die
i'm a hopeless fool
a self-destructive lie
it seems kind of funny now
to know that i tried (to be the nice guy)
i'm a fruitless tree
i'm a harmless flea
i'm the itch you can't scratch
i'm everything you'll never be
i'm every poem and fable
i'm every story and tale
i'm everything your parents told you you'd be
i'm every time you fail
i am forever
but my time ends now
because you heard all of this already
but never quite how
i am a child
i am the dead
i'm every terrible thought that's swirling
around your troubled head
i am me
i am a dying breed
i am the piece inside of you
you'll forget eventually
i am the dull silence
i'm the endless noise
i'm the thoughts and dreams, the hopes and schemes
of every girl and boy
i am an endless battle
that will never be won
because we can't kill ourselves
we'll just be reborn
i am love
i will never end
you can try to dismiss me
but i'll never bend
i am you
i am me
i am he, i am she
i am everything
APRIL 07 (cannibal girl)
when i awoke
my arms were tied
my head hurt from the blow
i thought i had died
but then there she came
right into the room
and right then i knew
that i'd be dead soon
bloodlust in her eye
it captivated me
and as she opened a wound
i started to bleed
she sucked at my blood
just to get a slight taste
she stared into my eyes
with a devilish gaze
she slowly fed on
my savory skin
ripped through my flesh
in a crazed human binge
oh cannibal girl!
i've fallen for thee
but your hunger for flesh
stops you from loving me
though i love you so
i know it can't be
cause you feed on humans
and now you're eating me
although i am dead
my heart does still beat
but not for long
cause soon you will eat
with one final breath
i managed some words:
"enjoy your meal,
my sweet cannibal girl"
she'd severed my arms
soon after my legs
and what came next!?
oh! she sawed off my head!
9/29/09 (long distance love)
this twelve point text across my screen
is getting pretty bad for me
my fluxuations in bravery
have made it hard for me to breathe
you brought me to this point, before i was angry
promises of love not seen before, are haunting me
the magnetism of my hearts confusing me
the feeling i've been left with like my chest's sinking in
i don't know where i'm supposed to go
or who i'm supposed to talk to
cause you change the way you feel so much i'm losing track
and at this point all i want is to get my life back
we playfully misspell words just to lighten the mood
but it's darkening to the point where i can't see
just which future it is that you have chosen for me
it's really frightening that now you control me
you mold and fold my insides to a small city (that never sleeps)
you've got me on my toes, so scared i cannot eat
"you're losing me"
tonight
i don't know where i'm supposed to go
i have no one i can talk to
you change the way you feel so much that i've lost track
and now i know that i will never get my life back
