crawl

welding your door lock shut,
no escape from my craving of moonlitten smut
breaking and entering,
below the belt-line
doze away,
a nap before your final rest
who's to say,
neighbors will hear your last distress
jarring you from your slumber
brings me more pain than pleasure
what have i taken under
we can turn back never
widened eyes,
i've lost the element of surprise
no disguise,
my identity compromised
reach for the phone
you're all alone
no dial tone,
i cut the line
crawl in your nightgown
commence the countdown

the void
01:39
|

|
karma: collected, destroyed
with one bare step to the void
armor: defective and feeling annoyed
there's no man in this boy
no man left in this boy
asking myself, what have i done
emotions shelved, chest weighs a ton
run away, for the prey is slain
april rain wash this blood away
cleanse me, cleanse me
cleanse me, cleanse me,
oppressor, surrender
oppressor, surrender

flames burning at both ends of me
wax melting on the tapestry
stuck between a rock and a hard place
a candle with a jar of skin
temperature rising from within
in second to last place in this cruel race
optimistic cynicism
parasitic cataclysm
spending more than i make
ending in a headache
anchored to my legacy
proving myself wrong until the death of me
pessimism's been my eye's marquee
set the stage cause there are sights to see

time wasted
03:19

wake up, stay asleep
shoot up, several times a week
shack up, pack up
mack up, and make sure she's cheap
empty, without
something, to make the itching stop
sweating, trending
ending, beating of the heart
subdermal gift, full headspace shift
enter the rift, and play it safe
the veinous path, the needle's wrath
imagine that, the aftermath
this time i found the right time to be so cold
i know you know exactly why i'm giving up
i've seen your eyes roll back inside your head again
i know you know exactly why i'm giving up
my flagrant disregard for my health
a vagrant to my sense of self
forsaken not a cry for help
time wasted, time wasted, time wasted
this time i found the right time to be so cold
i know you know exactly why i'm giving up
i've seen your eyes roll back inside your head again
i know you know exactly why i'm giving up

silver bandit

on a couch, in a room
just me, invader zim and you
fingertips talk in total silence
eyes not watching the cartoon violence
i'm a hella superstitious self destruction of a boy
but i know her black cat's not vicious
she even likes the fall of troy
so i trace my labored fingers down the bones of her spine
a love drunk and drunken driver sweeping over yellow lines
trying to reach the destination i am yours and you are mine
hit a tree and carve your name and mine combined with a plus sign
all alone with my thoughts
without you me is all i've got
if we could talk this whole thing over
make some progress or just get some closure
girl i know you're not malicious
i hope you know i'm not as well
but i sure will miss your kisses but
then again time will tell
wish i could trace my labored fingers down the bones of her spine
a love drunk and drunken driver sweeping over yellow lines
trying to reach the destination i am yours and you are mine
hit a tree and carve your name and mine combined with a plus sign
silver bandit, show your face
silver bandit, please embrace me
silver bandit, show your face
silver bandit, please embrace me
so i trace my labored fingers down the bones of your spine
a love drunk and drunken driver sweeping over yellow lines
trying to reach the destination i am yours and you are mine
hit a tree and carve your name and mine combined with a plus sign
