She

She’s got beautiful eyes

And she can’t even see

How he sewed them shut

A mockery, a lie, a distant dream

My momma gave me the scissors,

And told me not to run

But that girl, she moved so fast!

I couldn’t keep up

I just couldn’t keep up

When she fell asleep that night,

I came to her with my sharpie

Her eyelids they were sewn so tight

It was so easy

The tip passed along her lashes

As my judgment came to pass

When I left her she looked about the same

Except,

For two words scrawled over those beautiful eyes

“Whatever” and “Nevermind”

China Pot

I got you,

A little china tea pot

A gift from me to you

Happy Birthday

                         

You never drank tea

In that little china tea pot

The phone’s ringing

“Hello?”

You broke it,

My little china tea pot

Its okay-

I never liked it anyway

Toothless Affection

Spit out your teeth

One at a time

Make a tower,

And we’ll play Jenga

Then in the midst of your exploding gums

I tremble slightly,

Bringing that pale obelisk

To the ground

Strawberry Suicide

Reach into the morning

Find a reason to get out of bed

The clock is ticking

Time is money and I’m nearly broke

Rip off the chains I’ve wrapped around my head

But I’m still sinking

Leaping off of skyscrapers

Can take its toll

Got no reason

But these reasons try to take my soul

Man up and wipe the dust away from my eyes

But even still I cannot cry

The double-vision finally takes ahold of me

This road I’m taking, course collision with my destiny

And though I’m blinded by the sun

I now finally see

A bowl of strawberries

Waiting for me

To: God

Oh God please take my nightmares

This cradle fashioned from my darkest dreams,

Can no longer tame my conscience

It’s left my world a broken fantasy

Oh God please take my money

It’s plastered over every table

Those faces, haha they look so funny

I’d kill them all if I was able

Oh God you never listen

These walls they have no ears to understand

But I’ll make sure someone hears them

You’ll have to pry it from my broken hands

Oh God it’s time you stepped down

I’m calling for a new election

This world has got no time for,

Some guy who doesn’t even listen

Winter Rain

The winter rain may come and go

But every day I see the snow

I think of her and what we said

When dreams still danced inside our heads

Skull Face

Paint your finger nails

Black and red

Spin three times

Then cut your head

Dance to the rhythm

Beat the drums

Welcome the night

From wherever it comes

I had a skull for a face

Oh it wasn’t white but black

Yeah I had a skull for a face

I can’t ever go back

You may think I’m gone

But, oh no, that’s not the case

When you wake up in the middle of the night

I’ll be waiting with my skull for a face

Last Day in Hell

All you whores and heretics

All you murderers and thieves

Can you believe it’s finally here?

A day we couldn’t conceive

The gates are wrought in iron

They’re drawn by tethers of flesh

But still hope begins to shine

On the darkest day of rest

Battle horns sound in the mountains

Drum’s toll underneath

And heaven’s mighty angels

Come to the world beneath

Let’s give them a fight to remember

Even as they drive us from existence

For this was our land once

The land of sin’s resistance

Our devil king rouses us

For our blasphemed last stand

And despite all our fury

We fall, dead,

To the last man

Suicidal Sweethearts

Running from perceptions

Try to find my way

A winding road turned to water

Can’t prolong my stay

Got no feelings about this mess

But I’ll tell you how I feel

If I’d been the one in charge

I’d have given myself nerves of steel

                                                            

It’s a shame you had to say that

Cuz I’d always liked you from the start

But I saw you holding that knife like a bible

And I knew you’d kill my heart

I stole myself from you

I stole the love you’d given me

And I buried it alive

In hope of being free

But you were waiting for me in the back room

You sewed my mouth shut with your own

I pulled the trigger

I pulled it twice

And then we were forever

Forever

Alone

Terra Cotta’s Army

They call me Terra Cotta,

‘Cuz I build ‘em like no one else can

Haha they call me Terra Cotta,

For my stones made out of man

                                      

Who are you?

Who are you?

The figments of my mind

What are you?

What are you?

Fruit scraped from the rind

Where are you?

Where are you?

A place that I can’t see

The zombies of my enemies,

Have grabbed ahold of me

Trip

Every days a battle

Every night a victory

The longer I stay awake,

The longer I dwell in misery

The Color of My Name

Forced realizations

Severed old connections

Bring the sinners bleeding

Making no exceptions;

Kill dissenters

Undermine free thinkers

Let no one else in         

But still the pain

It lingers 

I traded you

Cheap lies from the bottom of my pocket

A piece of land for your eyes,

Drowning in the ocean

I moved so slow

Your mind was always workin’

Oh my now I finally see the shape

We’re in

Deep down we’re the same,

We’re the same

You scream,

The color of my name

Oh,

Deep down,

Deep, deep down

Deep down we’re the same,

We’re the same
