The Arrival

I've come to bear bad news. Young man your fortune's lost. She's so far from righteous but she's all that I know. Your explanations kill me and the pleasantries rip me apart. Can't you see I've come here to spare you? Sir, what I speak is the truth. I'm always the bearer of bad news.

The Inundation

For what seems like, oh so long, I've stood for, oh so much. Living and loving in the purest fashion. An attempt that oh so failed; Holding your own, it seems, is just not in fashion. Oh no, my poor fashion sense has misled me. I hear them call my name. And I've drifted out to sea. A life lesson has been learned in this sea of clandestine sirens. Time frames can be cut so short and words' meanings change quite often. In this sea of clandestine sirens, I'll stand for so long. I've felt this retrogress into a stormy sunset. And it has been so long since I should have paddled. Oh no, I should have paddled. Tonight it's sink or swim, in this sea of sirens. And if this world splits in two; I won't sink tonight. For what felt like far too long, I stood for far too much. I lived and loved. The latter was my mistake.
My life was cut far too short after I drifted to sea. The sirens took hold of me.
And I will never be the same. I will never set sail again. Though I still hear them call my name.

The Atrophy

This beast was created by all it's former trials. My white flag has been burned to the ground. I've overcome all these human feelings. This machine is lubricated with all your lies. One slain for every letter that's been misread. Delusions of grandeur have created this monster. I've overcome all these human feelings. This machine wont be destroyed by the smirk on your face. Oh, how dare you mock me, I live beautiful. This emoted face, it grows larger. Don't look me in the eye, aren't my eyes beautiful? Jabbing blades to the shrine peel back the skin. I was so lovely, but it saw right through me. I've succumed to all these human feelings. Now nothing's left but the smirk written on your face. As I lay in ruins I embrace the youth that I once knew. It was washed out with the pain.

The Desperation

Sometimes I want to see who cares. I wanna see who would come. I wanna know who would call and who would write. And who wouldn't even bother to show. Sometimes I wanna die in a car crash. Would they even know? Would they even waste their time? Would she even show? Sometimes I want to almost die just to see who really cares. I wanna see the look in their eyes. I wanna I know what I meant to any of them. Unconscious and flat-lining. These machines are keeping me alive. And in those times, I swear if she were to show..the sound of her voice, the touch of her hand, the smell of her scent..any of them would awaken me and I would be fine. Unconscious and flat-lining. These machines are keeping me alive...

Fair Enough

What happened to those days? Those days of yesterday when everyone used to say that we were perfect. What happened to those days? Those days of yesterday. I'm tired of your twisted mouth and all your stupid games. Way to much work for me, way to much drama. Girl, I'm trying to forget everything about you so I can move on. And girl, I'm trying to forget about kissing you in the backseat of the car. I'm trying to forget everything about you so I can move on, but until the day I'm happy standing by your side, I am right by your side. This is the last night that I'll kiss you goodbye. I'll try one last time. But until that day I am happy standing by your side...
