Crying
When I look up to the stars I know you’re there
Sometimes stars fall to earth and I’ll be waiting here
You’re gone and there’s no way to ask why
There’s no way to know what it all meant
You left us one last riddle with no clues at all
Just broken pieces of you fallen all around us
Asking us to be shattered with you too
I cried, I cried, I cried
and I’m crying still
When I look up to the stars
I know you’re there and I’m here,
I’m here
F.O.A.D.
I don’t like the way you watch me
I’m a girl and you’re a guy
I wish you’d fuck off and die
You see me on the street, you know where I live
At my door, morning at 5
I told you to fuck off and die
The world is a dangerous place
that I truly believe
From the concrete plains down to the sea
The world is a dangerous place
you cannot deceive
It has such a grip that I can't breathe
I don't want my eyes to watch you
Like I can only see out from the inside
I want you to fuck off and die
Voyeur
I am on the outside
Sometimes looking in
Sometimes looking away feigning disinterest
Only to look back in
I am on the outside
I want to be forever young
Not to grow a day older
Not to live in apathy
I want to walk that fine line over fire
I am fighting for air, fighting for breath
The boredom is my water
Falling over me, pushing me down, drowning me
I, with my bare hands, want to break the surface
I want to rip life apart at the seams
I am on the outside
Sometimes I look in
Not really recognizing what I am seeing
I am a voyeur in my own life
I am on the outside
Nearer
When Vincent Van Gogh lost his ear
Where were you?
Were you someplace near?
Nearer to yourself
than you could nearly be near
Nearer to yourself
than you ever have been
Nearer to yourself
than is really safe
Oh Clasina, the room is haunted with ghosts
The easel sits empty
In the corner, canvas blank
and dried out paints
and I can't hear a thing
Where were you?
when Vincent Van Gogh lost his ear
The Girl With the Colorless Eyes
It's when you know what you really do
That's when you begin to despise it
It's when you always lie
That's when they all know the truth
It's when you say those things you say
That's when you begin to deny it
It's when you never try
That's when it starts to come in waves
Then when you cry
The blue of your eyes drains away
You're the girl with the colorless eyes
The girl with the colorless eyes
The girl looking out from the inside
It's when you know that it's all over
That's when you begin to reprise it
It when you sometimes die
That's when you wish they were more covert
Fragments of Porcelain
I knelt down to touch your boots
I knelt down to worship your boots
But all you could do is walk away
With skin as white as porcelain
You are not made of that
like some cheap dime store figurine
Ready to shatter at a moments notice
Dropped from a high shelf and
gravity takes over
You said I am not made to be worshiped
I am made to be fucked
I could hear the street calling your name
though I did not know it at the time
I read you like reading a book on the subway
flying beneath the city
and then coming up into daylight
Words pulsing rhythmically
full of mystery and plot twists
Like a dagger in the back of the brain
and the heart
Dragged Under
Why does that dark shadow follow?
Everywhere you go?
Why do you torture yourself?
Torture me?
It's always one part pleasure and one part pain
Someday it feels like we're going insane
Someday. ashes to ashes dust to dust Nothing remain.
Is it all in vain?
So troubled
Tangled in your own thoughts
Dragged under
Drowning in sorrow
Dark shadow follows
Is everything we do
Is it all in vain?
A Murder of Crows
A murder of crows inside of my brain
I will not fall into that ash black hole
That darkest thing inside of me
is just a murder of crows
I can not be a scarecrow
and frighten them from inside of me
Someone that is alive can not be a scarecrow
Crows are only afraid of things that are dead
That goes for my crows and your crows too
Poe's "Raven" was really in his brain, saying
nevermore
and for some they can not ignore that word
Nevermore, nevermore quoth the raven chattering in their ear
When Kurt Cobain blew a hole in his head he was
only trying to murder his murder of crows
For some that's the way out
Crows are afraid of the dead
and once you die they'll leave you alone
My crows, I know what they are
and I am not afraid of them anymore
I will not be beaten by their flapping wings
I will never listen to that word, nevermore
I know that they are crows and a murder is
only two or more
