I've always thought that there was something poetic about a lighter as a cure, and I love the way the moon can be your only way of knowing the world is still there around you, and that it hasn't just dissolved to black. And it was almost beautiful the way everything stopped; and as the paper caught fire we all died a little inside. And last night I came home smelling more like cigarettes than myself. And when she kissed my forehead it was almost painful. Days spent black and blue or down and out are better spent plotting my own demise. I'd be lying if I told you I don't think about you all the time. And I'll be wondering if I'll catch you bef
Gasoline pours from these dead end wounds, and the barrel of this gun is staring me in the face.
Then I would agree this chaos is the static we breath. I would like to take this moment to describe the feeling of the ignition of the flame that starts it all. For all it's worth, it will burn. Tonight the stars will be the sparks nessecary to set forth the blaze. Writhing with an unparallelled impulse to flee. The need for a role model so lackluster that we might drawn in is making itself shown. The roof is now the gateway to Hell; Heaven has never looked so inviting before. The gauze is soaking up my blood in a way similar to the purging of yo
I'll burn a hole through my lungs
she screamed, "tonight we'll burn the sky"
This nicotine is my sermon to the living tonight.
and the clouds went up in flames.
Our breath tonight will fog this glass
Scrap the blueprints;
I'm going for something new.
This smoke raising towards the sky
Blessing my lungs like the priest lowering the casket to the ground.
Packed into paper and sold to people who know better
Hey, and I guess you should have listened
When we were whispering in the kitchen
We were watching your funeral broadcast on tv.
This war is something
the likes of the world will see.
You know the only thing we might die for.

Reallllly, to tell you the truth, and to be a total asshole, my grandmother's death really hasn't affected me that much. Or at least in the way you would imagine, but on a more subconcious level, yes. I have been affected, not so much by the memories and tears, but by the things I've had a chance to think about over these past three days away from everything, and everyone. Death, really, is a mysterious thing. Which is really obvious, I mean. Everyone knows that. Any young child can tell you that death is mysterious. But I want to say right now that my grandmother was something I held close to me, and that I had a love for her that was incred
Been chiseling out the story for hours
And I've been beating at the gate that won't open,
Been kicked out of every bar
That I never wanted to be in in the first place.
When you've been down this long
Another slash on your arm
Feels like up to me.
So these are my scattered dreams
All the stars are screaming in my face,
They're falling from the heavens
And I'm not understanding much of anything anymore.
So write this on my gravestone,
This is my fucking epitaph.
These words are the daggers in our backs.
I am the Shakespeare of my time.
These ingenius lines have been crafted
One million times before
I'd trade these intelligent t
Everybody trashes this town like it's the worst thing ever, but I think a lot of that is convinent thinking. One person says it, another agrees, it gets blowed out of proportion. Or, we really don't know what it's like living in other places and just assume this town is shit. Actually, sometimes I think about not living here and I almost cry. I have such fucking strong emotional ties with some of the people in this town, I wouldn't function right without them in my daily life. I have such intense emotional ties with just some of the houses in this town, corners, sidewalks, potholes in certain roads. I couldn't live without the sight of certai

Maybe I'm Just Jealous
This was something sacred. I'm choking on your fading glory and drowning in my fucking hopeless attempts of redemption. The last fucking thing I need right now is a bathtub full of blood to deal with, but you're the first thing on my list. This was something sacred to her, to me, to you, and I guess that I might call this blood running down to your chest from your throat sacred too. Well you definitley weren't far, but you'd tell me you weren't even fucking close. I can't do much to account for the blooding flowing from my nose, guess I'll tell them the truth. Guess I'll tell her the truth. And I can't blame her for not wanting to be with you

I Have A Back Up Plan
The switchblade kisses
Were never enough to dry your lips
Of the poison in which you were drenched
And I'm having trouble speaking
Out of bleeding chapped lips.
For all our dues,
This is one I'll never pay.
It's hard to sleep
When I'm fucking dreaming about kissing your lips.
And I know this is wrong,
But I just can't stop.
Cut me wide open
And take out everything that loves you
And leave anything that will bleed.
(Seep through open pores,
Leave me with nothing more
Then less than a fucking kiss)
Because I'm sick of hating myself for waiting for
You to decide on something I'll have to do.
With your hands on my thighs,
And
(These words are laced with anger
This knife is laced with hatred
This gun is laced with envy
These bullets are laced with love
And according to you, i never could do anything right)
I'm growing tired of the nights spent arguing
Chasing them with shots of vodka
And if i had a mind of my own, i would leave your sorry ass on the count of three
Believe me, i can count to three pretty fucking fast
But i'm not a liar
Go ahead and hit me one more time for the sake of memory
Take a picture of these bruises because you would be stupid enough to
Go tell your buddies you have one fine piece of art waiting at home
I'll be there packing my b

Click Click and You're Dead
Misery sounds like the click of a gun
And with me staring down the barrel
I can't tell you that was the right choice
But it was nice to know you
I'm just better off with the knife in my side
Better off walking down the street
And never turning around again
I don't want to see the look in your eyes
This is the murder scene
This is the victim..of his own despair
You can only get so far being alone
And it's no farther than down the block
It's not suppose to be this way
But i'm living in a dream gone nightmare
Of all the things i ever did tell you
I never did tell you a lie
That wasn't enough to hold onto
The bullet through my ch
She stepped outside into the morning air
To watch the cars go by and let the sun dry her hair
I wanted to tell her how beautiful she was
But I just stared.
I sat behind the wheel and watched the raindrops
As they gathered on the windshield
And raced down into the humming motor
And she folded up her fears like paper airplanes
And lost them in the trees...
And I know I don't deserve this
The capacity to feel
To laugh and cry and to praise
For that I live and breathe and wake each day
Is nothing less than your grace
In an awkward and glorious movement.
