Lucifer’s Kiss

Eyes flaking

Falling apart

Skin shaking

Torn by lines of fault

Her breath scattered through clean breezes of air

Her laughter lingered

Before crumbling there

And she surrendered

Fingers stretched towards the heavens

But her heart fell to the floor

Mastered what couldn’t be forgiven

Nothing mattered now

Not the blood on the walls

Nothing could be forgotten now

And that’s when she saw

Death

Angry

Never scared

She picked her heart up

Tore open her chest

Slammed it in

Only the devil knows the rest

But one thing is for certain

It’s the cancer of hatred

And the body she slaughtered

Was nothing to the soul that was taken

Mind You’re Dead

I’m a lover of life

But I hate my existence

One minute I’m here

Then I’m gone in an instant

I fell from a star

Straight into a grave

To some unheavenly horror

I am a slave

Bound by familiar shackles

I greet terror again

Crouching like an animal

Hiding my head

I claw the walls

I break the floor

You sent me here

And I thought I was adored

I would laugh at stupidity

If my eyes weren’t sealed shut

I’d scream at you

If I thought it’d be enough

But I can’t hear the whispers

Because I’m still hiding my head

And I can’t hear the thunder

Because I’m playing dead

Gun and a Rose

I’m catastrophic

I’m metal on skin

Blood on my hands is nothing

To the blood stirring within

The sun is subtly glaring

While a shadow overgrows beneath

The ageing of this flower

Is the power behind my grief

Stone on stone

Can’t set flame to a fire

Can’t diminish from drowning

If you already breathe water

Spitting out madness

It’s a terrible thing

But it haunts as it taunts

And it lours the seedling

So it’s planted in your skin

And it’s planted in your bones

And you need as you pick

This constant urges it to grow

You itch and you scratch

You dig and you toil

But the screaming within you

Becomes harder to hold

And the messages it’s bringing you

Is like a gun and a rose

A Love With An Ending

Impregnated with comforting gloom

Cradling heartache

Suspecting assortments of doom

She awaits it

While she breaths clean air

She awaits it

Although she sees him there

And she asks herself

“What may come to be

If I could accept it?

If I could allow myself to see?”

But she waited in muck

And she waited in dirt

And all of her waiting

Caused too much hurt

There came a day when he closed his eyes

For this she cried

And she begged for a new beginning

“But darling, all this time what you’ve been waiting for

Is a love with an ending”

Calling On Repeat

Whoever you are

You’ve heard a song

And you play it on the daily

Wherever you are

You’ve received a kiss

And you’ve been thinking of it lately

You know the sweet, raw melody

As you recall the passion twice as fair

What will you ever do?

How may this be repaired?

Over and over

You play it again

Once on the stereo

Thrice in your head

Enthralled within the depths of despair

Who could care?

Who would dare?

Animal

Feel the way I move

Know the way I breathe

I am an animal

I crawl

I cannot see

Listen to my bones

Can you hear the way they speak?

There is an animal

In every part of me

Endure the ways I think

Call to the insiders

They’re searching

They’re asking

They’re finding no answers

They are all animals

They’ve forgotten the trees

Now you see the way they crawl

You see they cannot see

Insides Of Stone

These walls steal my vision

As poison fills my lungs

The air cements my very own tongue

My insides cry out

Gasping for air

Dead are the faces that linger here

And lost are the trees planted there

Any Other Nightmare

Unlike any other

Any other nightmare

Falling frowns are broken

So far beyond repair

You don’t see what I see

You don’t know the me in you

You lack all doubt

You flat out ignore the truth

Creeping in the lightened corners

Corners of your smile

I found a little a piece of you

It’s been scared all the while

And all that pain

And all that fear

It lives inside of you

You cannot withstand it

You can only pull through

And standing on the other side

Well, you see, there’s me

And I’m looking for some laughter

And I’m looking for some pity

You don’t know the meaning

The meaning of unglued

And you don’t know the suffering

The suffering caused by you

But most of all

What you don’t know

Is the thing inside of me

I am an animal

Despite what it may seem

And I know the very least of all

Of what I have no name to put to

Merely an existence

And it grows in me

And it may grow in you

Sister

Friendships will blossom like flowers

With petals of honest gold

And friend I don’t have to tell you

All ours has to hold

Our friendship started the day I was born

Growing steadier with every hour

It’s ripened like the sweetest of fruits

In the light that all the years have showered

Every day I hold this gift

Not like a box upon my hand

But I hold it deep within me

And it makes me a thousand times more grand

And a thousand times I’ll say again

How much you mean to me

You are more than just a hand to hold

You are all that a friend should be

So darling sister what I must tell you

Is that this will never fade

Because a piece of you is always with me

No matter what comes with the days

And no matter what comes with the nights

Because stars, I know they sparkle

But nothing shines quite so brightly

Nothing shines quite as brightly as you, sister

Sitat nummer to

You’re the only one I go to when there’s a storm outside and, baby, it’s pouring straight through till morning.
