Sizzle, crack, pop
It hurts when you touch
The pains, the wounds
Memories of aches
Swish, stab, contact
In goes the knife
Penetrating my heart
Cutting into my soul
Your touch, a flame
Of burning power
So much to offer
But it ends in irony
Open arms to the needy
Surrounding, yet withholding
Pushing me to my limit
Suffocating all meaning
How much do you want
How much can I give
No, not this time, Honey
It's your turn to burn

extremist
he cries for pain
but why
hate, bitter hate
dripping off his tongue
but why
sorrow in his eyes
desperate without a cause
but why
why I ask
out of demanding curiosity
his smile a twist
of bitter tears and sarcasm
tight and crooked
his laugh a choked gasp
of hatred crushed by society
sharp and foul
why
have you lost your soul
have you sold it away
did you kiss the devil's daughter
in exchange for grace
you surely don't deserve

Blue Release
Intense
Tender to the touch
This fence
So tight it cuts
Your eyes
So wide and bright
They say
Show me the light
You move
So quick and fast
No trust
It comes from the past
Curious
You move so close
Hesitant
Fear of over dose
Poor child
You've lost so much
Little more
And you'll feel His touch
It's alright
He'll take care of you
Let go
And release your blue

Beautiful
I am enchanted
Under your spell
I’m bewitched
Can’t you tell
I try to hide
I’ve lost control
You have this power
Over my soul
Your eyes shine
In crystal blue
They trap me deep
Inside of you
Your hair so dark
Black as your heart
Your frame so lean
It tears me apart
The way you walk
Is constantly cool
Your head held high
I become your fool
Untouchable, unaffected
You won’t show a fall
I’m a helpless victim
And you don’t care at all

Fad Friends
stick together
it's a promise
within itself
bound for a cause
or are we
drawn to each other
or pushed toward another
set apart
or set aside
which is it
started for a reason
or stayed just because
loose seems fall apart
when the bond
is only a front
something special
or just another style
intentions are true
when it ends true

Strip Tease
Stop looking at me!
Turn your head
And look away!
I'm not a freak;
I'm not crazy.
You have your life;
I have mine.
I choose my style;
You choose yours
It's our right.
You think I'm different,
Well, I am
By my own choice.
I don't live
For the sake of others.
I won't stare at you;
I won't laugh or sneer.
You live by your choice
And your style.
Your problems are your own.
You spend your whole life
Dispensing a country of ignorance.
Yet look at you now
Staring at me so!
Leave me alone.
Find another front
To hide you anger behind!
We're all in this to the end.
Take a look in the mirror
Before you judge me again.

Uncertain Impulse
I want to jump out of here
I want to rip the paper off the walls
I'm going to throw my work outside
I'm going to break all the windows
and watch it all shatter into forever
I feel like cutting everything in sight
I feel like running away
and always moving on
I want to break all the furniture
I want to break all the memories
and kill the unceasing pain
I'd like to turn on the music
until the floors are shaking underground
I'd like to thrash around like an animal
destroying everything around me
I want to release the insanity in me
and let it run free in the wild
But when it comes down to it
I'd rather not clean up the mess.

Do You Believe
I don’t believe
In anything
I don’t believe
In anyone
I don’t believe in trust
And I sure don’t believe
In you
Everything will
Lie to you
Everything will
Turn against you
The only thing
That is real to me
Is my complete
Lack of trust

Everything In Me
Everything in me
Is Screaming
Everything in me
Is Crying
I need to break out
I need to run away
Everything in me
Wants to destroy
Everything around me
Everything in me
Wants to jump
Out of a window
I need to get it out
I need to cut it open
Everything in me
Is going to lash out
I need to find someone
I need to get it out

Black Blessings
Bitterness and hate
Regret and desperation
Shadows locked indoors
Empty thoughts laughed away
Creatures balance out
Loneliness in a crowd
Whispers from the shallow
Hiding in their own darkness
Drunken lust swept below
Casual patriotism sung aloud
Confusing words slashed apart
Black blessings cast aside
Will there ever be a cure
For the way we feel inside
