I've spent hours waiting by the phone with no calls no Bad design for me, formidable friend but now I wonder Pages formed from themselves; unbound books shoved shamelessly into shelves I inebriated sit as shapes and shadows shift past my vision. a nonverbal conversation came to mind where all we did was stare not at each other but at others It was a nonverbal agreement, a bind I'm a harbinger of something unnatural The weight of it is crushing my head I writhed and writhed until I procured these feelings Those prescribed feelings self scripted scripted scripted It's a perpetual state of privation Where all my heels do is dig crevices in the floor It's more than a self-imposed ritual I've been working in my head out a proposal I think it's time to take a gander Steady as the broach on your lapel The weight of it's crushing my head I've felt weightless Now I'm lead Allowing the dread to wash my senses Am I losing my mind? I'm not practical as I am pithy You're an aphorism opposed to apathy dread ennui Dead

I got those curtains from a boy who now hates my guts because he saw me holding hands with the other ghouls. Four weeks ago was when I retrieved the curtains from the beast who hates my guts since the time that it saw me holding seances with other ghouls unfortunately I broke all the rules And I then moan I've been weary of visiting since you ran toward me with scissors yelling, "cut it out!" Honestly I don't know what that was all about. Remember when we went to the cemetery with hopes of making out and I discovered what those crimson curtains were all about? I was hoping it was a rumor used as ruse. But I saw just how those pigments were used to downplay the swollen bruise. I, I, I just wanted to mourn alongside you. But I, I have learned since that this would never do. I I don't think I recite these dirges without crying, but you can tell Harry otherwise. I don't think the black lodge is yet open with its beings that I despise, but you can tell everyone otherwise. This poison isn't potent enough to drown out all the sighs. His act of retribution won't make me demure won't make me bury the lie. I just don't think you know everything that you're getting yourself into. There are things about me you'll never want to know. I, I, I just wanted to mourn alongside you. But I, I have learned since that this would never do. I, I, I just wanted to mourn alongside you. But I, I have learned since that this would never do.

Six Witches 04:58
Flames brushing my face In a crowd whose eyes were transfixed, gazing at us The stakes had gone beyond high They rose suddenly out of the ground before us Now we're stealing an embrace in the embers Impetuousness or tenacity In hindsight was pure sympathy The grand scheme whose future was obscured Made more sense when it was passing fancy Don't take me there I'm not sure if I trust you Don't take me there I'm not sure you know just what you're doing Leave me alone I know where you sharpen your knives I held the brambles in my palms My fists they bled in distrust Don't take me there I'm not sure if I trust you Don't take me there I'm not sure you know just what you're doing Leave me alone I know where you sharpen your knives Oasis falling to dystopia I'm stillborn, embracing you

Draw A Door 02:58
I find myself swirling in the same swill and I feel it getting old gone I'm gone I'm gone In the present I've been presented with this nerve-wracking sense of calm but I'm gone I'm gone I'm gone I think it's better to be cloistered than commonplace An absurd sense of humor is all it takes It's not a theory I willingly follow Ultimately it's an emptiness that befalls into this hollow Hateful graceless place By custom the sequence is repeated with remorse All my confidence drained at once from my corpse Keep yourself at an overprecautious distance So as to save yourself from garmonbozia I'm stalking across unfamiliar ground at all times With a rabid animal gnawing at me from the inside

Everything feels weird except you against me Lying next to you just dying for you Watching from a distance it's you Anxiety has taken the upper hand I don't call the shots but you don't understand My mind is an automated bivalve Encased in black gauze It's boiled braised and bygone Inopportune time to close the casket When the mourners have trailed in from their pews Their expressions come sporadic spurting from places with no rhyme [Places darkened by dirt, maudlin memories dulled away by time] And I pray I'm waking up to see you dead before me They ID'd me at the foot of the bed, ah Expressionless carcass, face embellished in crimson red I know you're responsible but I'll take all the blame The thoughtlessness pursuing us like a midlife waif on her last wing It flutters and aches at the window but we can't come

Inn Sickness 04:11
You wouldn't know it to look at me But I lay in loathing for hours late at night when you're probably asleep in a fetal position next to a stranger who you think completes you. I, alone with my mentation, writhe in agony at a loss for words for feelings far from fathoming. Last night in bed, and I hated myself then too, my entire body jerked before I fell asleep Agitated, no desire to go anywhere, I lay there seething in self pity I know if you knew you wouldn't care. I lay there knowing you wouldn't care. I must have gotten it all wrong so I said sorry and you said, "good." The detachment was prevalent. This existence of ours is tension splitting at the seams; insomniacs tore at the stitches at night to get it right. They were there all night. Just trying to get it right. I know stewing like this makes me sick Incapacitation inhibits my ability to get past the want for blame; it was you. It was you. It was you, it was you. In my false comfort I lay Negating the reality The facade will one day disintegrate For now I cater to the clorox nightmare.

I summon violet skies with my evil eyes Keeping them steady on the prize Unrevised sympathy bastardized By those rewarding lies You are the one I sought to hypnotize I couldn't help it if I tried I harbor the little hate The one you've taken as your date Unresponsive and sans spine I'll try hard to make you mine I couldn't help it if I tried Unreleased and unexplained Tell me I'm the greatest pain Unrevised and bastardized By my own rewarding lies Unrestricted and sans spine I won't win can't make you mine I couldn't help it if I tried I couldn't help it if I tried I couldn't help it if I tried
