Mix-
Truths unfold in the palm of your hand
Where my broken heart was lain
Blood falls from your mouth
Where your secrets are kept
Promise me you'll cry when I'm gone.

Companion-
I broke both your hearts
That foggy night
I breathed into your eyes
And our skin met.

Rape-
Press your fingers to my skin
And kiss me deeply
Underneath dim lighting
Flickers from your cigarette
Bruises on my neck
Feelings I have never felt
I go limp
Take me
I am yours tonight
Tomorrow I'll meet death.

Stitch-
Make these incisions and stitch these wounds
Or bleed me and leave me
But never love me
This creature will hurt you
And cry for you
And die for you again
I am not worthy of my heartbeat.

Pottery-
Voices cradle everything
You carry all of us
Only seconds left
Take our one last breath
Fires burning as a cross upon our skin
Keep us warm
Yet dead.

Doodle-
Open this book
Read the empty pages
Scripts for talent
Hearts for the broken
Mend me
I beg you.

Smoke-
Rooftops full of cigarette smoke
Where smiles are fake and sex is bought
And lovers make love without making love
And screams could be heard from the softest touch
And everyone who says "I love you" is really alone.

Love Bite-
I'm sleeping alone again
I'm feeling lonely again
Playing games with your mind
Feeling tired inside
Somewhere you're thinking of me
But you're not alone
I'm bear and broken down
Lying naked on the ground
Waiting for my blood to surface
Waiting for the sun to paint itself in the sky
Feeling nothing but pain in this Autumn day
The season is new
Masked with plastic
And I'm suffocating
My tears are suffocating me
I haven't ever felt a real kiss
And I'm dying alone and lonely.

Snap-
Tears fall from habit now
And I'm wearing away
My bones become thin
I'm addicted
I'm barely breathing inside
I'm always bleeding
And hiding behind closed doors
Glassy-eyed and burning holes through my skin
Keep me warm
I'll keep my secrets
The smoke in my hair keeps your cheeks dry
This flower dies within my hand
I'll bury myself beneath the sand
And smile
And I close my eyes forever.

Peeling Paint-
Give my mind its vacation
Trap me
And I won't be so afraid
Let me run away
Let it all end one day
And I'll bleed to pieces
And I'll rid myself of pain
Open your eyes and
You'll see the dying world
Bathing in unhappiness
And starving for a smile
Or a kiss.

Facing Down-
Light the candles
Paint the walls
Torch the past
Tear your memory in half.

Friction-
The maroon in your eyes
Fills the fake clouds
And fake love
And my words mean nothing
In sync with your broken heart
And bleeding lips
I crave you
Save me
From everything this world has to offer.

Twig-
Chain-smoking on the floor
Making love from door to door
Images of everything throw themselves into my brain
Feeling skinny to the bone
I drench myself in my own tears
And my bones are shining pretty through my skin.

Blink-
The image in her mirror is fake
She cannot believe in fate
She holds a flame upon her skin
And she turns to ashes
Circles burned unto her arm
Everything fades...

Adrenaline-
You broke a promise
A secret you were never meant to hear
And so my blood is stolen
And my blade is gone
We'll become distant.
