Distracted
Little boy...
You don't
know what you're
Dealing
with
You're playing
with
Fire.
Little boy...
You don't
know what you're
Handling.
You're carrying
a crate of
Tigers.
You're a distraction.
You're a disruption.
You take me away from my problems.
I'm just gonna hurt you.
So why does this craving feel so right?
Little boy...
I've grown used to your
Smile.
I depend on your
Kindness.
Little boy...
I long for your
Affection.
You've hooked
me on your
Admiration changed
my views
I still need him
but now I want you
Too.
Little boy...
You've grown
out of your
Little shoes.
You've filled
those of the
Previous.
Instead
of future, you're
Present.
Instead
of distraction, you're
Focus.
Focus
focus
Focus
Focus on you and
running out
I can't
keep both without a doubt
Like me
and love me and keep me in view
No matter
what, it comes down to wanting you.
He's perfect for
me, my body wants to say
But I need you for every day
For every time he can't be there
For every
time I need to care
For someone
Other
Than
Me.
Focus
I'm distracted.
something I
still don't understand
You're lying there
and you're not speaking
To me.
You're lying there and you're not saying
A thing.
Say something
to me
Even if it's the wrong thing
I want to hear your voice
I want to hear you speak
I want to see you
Alive.
I don't care
anymore if you feel
That way.
I just want to hear it, I want to hear
You say
"I'm still alive and breathing
But I don't love you anymore."
I want to feel
you shove me away
I want to feel you push me out of your life
Just as a sign
If you're alive
I'm happy.
Fish
I've left my line in the water/a long, long time/Why won't you bite/and get it over with?/I want you to bite/Bite the hook/Stick it in your lip/so I can reel you in/I want you flopping at my feet/I want you struggling/I want you gasping/I want you like a fish out of water./Just bite/Just f***ing bite./I want you to bite/Just f***ing bite./You know you're doomed any way/If you don't bite now/It'll just be like shooting fish in a barrel for me later/Just bite/Just f***ing bite/I want you to bite/Just f***ing bite./I wanna pull the hook out of your mouth/and scale you/and gut you/and turn you inside out./I wanna watch you try to swim away/I wanna eat you for lunch today./Just bite/just f***ing bite/I want you to bite/Just f***ing bite.
"love/the tie that bends/the tie that breaks"
I wish sometimes I could make you see me/but you've got your head down./maybe
if you'd look the world in the eyes/you'd find yourself looking into mine/my
world and my eyes/you'd find yourself falling/falling into mine/my life and
my trust./trust me/you would/but love is unkind/it binds your wrists/and promises
to keep the ties close/ forever /when things become too tight/love cuts the
ties/and slits your wrists/and everything dies/My blood is on my wrists/yours
are still clean./I want to be bound to white, pure wrists/I want the innocence
to tak eme over./I wish sometimes I could make you see me/trust me/you would.
"full circle"
Dropping into ecstasy/I record my last memory/The final thing before/you enter,
break the barrier--I soar/grounded I was and/broken I am/more together/whole/Bleeding
through and hurting your success/foiling your efficiency under duress/and yet
I say I need this pain/pressure breaks me, makes me sane/suffering just glues
me/back together/no pieces missing/whole/ Screaming out of time and space/and
comfort has done an about face/the masochism of the moment undermines man/to
think that blood used to be from what we ran/this isn't the you I wanted/nor
the pain/empty sacrafices/Giving up nothing for a greater void/kicking and struggling/forcefully
employed/a slave to sadistic tendencies/a slave to man/a slave to self/slave
to me/slave to desire/and I can't break free/chains and bondage/pain is pleasure/why
is it true/why is it f***ing true?/you/use/it/to/your/ad/van/tage/point and
F***/I'm yours tonight/Falling out of you and me/I take a second to look and
see/the damage that was caused by the first/schoolyard rhyme, it was truly the
worst/destroyed me and lead me to be sucked dry/together but broken (again.)/wish
it had never started.
"down"
Standing on the edge/All I see is down/And green/And down/And you/Gravity sucks me down/Into the empty, screaming space/All I hear are the cries of millions/As life passes through their bodies/Into mine/Into you/Into a hole/ Anywhere but their own souls./Falling over the edge/And through the abyss/There's nothing there/But you/And green/And down/And nothing but nothing./There's not even air/I can't catch my breath/I dive./But/Cries and shrieks don't escape me/Even as I'm pulled to the end./I can still catch everything within me/Everything belonging to everyone else./Nothing's there to stop the pain of others./Nothing's there to stop them from dying./There's not even anything left to lose./Only empty space.
"inside"
when I look inside from out/and I pull my soul apart/I feel the changes rip me/and I begin to depart/but you're still here/beside my face/beside my pride/beside my spirit and its ripped pieces./The changes bend and shift/and kill my soul/the difference rifts our bodies apart/the changes injure everything we have/the difference throws our bodies apart/but you're still here/closer than ever/breathing on my face/breathing on my pride/vaporizing it before my eyes/breathing on my spirit and its torn pieces./Everything disappears into a cold void until/your hands meld everything back together/and warm comfortable sleep soothes me into a coma/I don't know if I'm alive./Stripped bare of my concience and my pride/call me to my knees/make me beg for forgiveness/make me beg for everything back/I want the rift and the void/between us/I don't want you to piece it back together/I want to do it myself./You don't want that but/I want you gone/you only/fix it till it's f***ed/fix it till it's f***ed/fix it till it's f***ed/fix it till it's f***ed./help hurts/nothing works/only my apathy and your distance./until the void reappears/until you're convinced that I can't go on like this/until you're convinced you've fixed things too much/the coma hangs over my head like a heavy cloud.
"the stoned song"
1. I love the way your hair shines/but maybe it's just from all the grease/I love the way your eyes glitter/but maybe it's just from all the crack/I love the way you look at me/but maybe you're just stoned/I love the way you never speak/but maybe you're just....stoned/chorus: you're a stoner and we all know/I know you don't know I know/I know you're confused/but I neeeeeeed you/2. I like it when you say "hi" to me/in your own quiet way/I like it when you speak in muffled tones/like you have a facemask on/I like the way you dressed today/Rage T-shirt and jeans/I like your stoner way of life/even if you're.......stoned./chorus/
"stoic one"
Nothing is working to sear through the indifferences/Nothing can make you care./And I am filled with apathy now/Because you're so indifferent to me./You will never let yourself be attatched to anything/Or anyone/Or me./Just go./Just go and let yourself cry/We'll both be happier /If you let it all out/Spin around/See the end/And love it all/Crop your biases free/For me./Just for once/Don't be predisposed to hate it and despise it./Just go./Just go and let yourself cry/We'll both be happier /If you let it all out/Spin around/See the end/And love it all/Crop your biases free/For me./You couldn't care less if the world blew up today/Taking you with it to fly/And die/You couldn't care less if you liked me or hated me/You don't want to feel./You don't want to reel from a punch I throw/You don't want me to show you how/We can make this apathy into healthy rage./Because/Feeling is weakness/Be stoic/Be still/Be Brutus/See if I care./Just go./Just go and let yourself cry/We'll both be happier/If you let it all out/Spin around/See the end/And love it all/crop your biases free/For me.
