i can always pick up books in the search of what I need but that doesn’t help me any if you’re impossible to read so if you love me, if you love me come clean these monsters in my closet are watching over me the days are getting shorter and at night it’s hard to sleep the combination of all of this is the death of everything so if you love me, if you love me hurry because i don’t think that wasting a second of this time would benefit the outcome of the life i had in mind i'll refer to you as my special love the one that set me free so if you love me, if you love me come clean waiting around until things grow old i’m feeling lost in towns that were my home and if everything was easier before then we’ll go back to who we were so i’m picking up a book in the search of what i need from religion, to fiction being lost about at sea and all I can imagine is being brushed against your cheek so if you love me, if you love me come clean

fall is here, hear the yell back to school, ring the bell brand new shoes and walking blues climb the fence, books and pens i can tell that we are gonna be friends i can tell that we are gonna be friends walk with me, suzy lee through the park and by the tree we will rest upon the ground and look at all the bugs we found safely walk to school without a sound safely walk to school without a sound here we are, no one else we walked to school all by ourselves there's dirt on our uniforms from chasing all the ants and worms we clean up and now it's time to learn we clean up and now it's time to learn numbers letters, learn to spell nouns and books and show and tell at playtime we will throw the ball back to school, through the hall teacher marks our height against the wall teacher marks our height against the wall we sit side by side in every class teacher thinks that i sound funny but she likes the way you sing tonight i'll dream while i'm in bed when silly thoughts go through my head about the bugs and alphabet and when i wake tomorrow i'll bet that you and i will walk together again i can tell that we are gonna be friends yeah i can tell that we are gonna be friends

the mirror's image it tells me it's home time but i'm not finished cause you're not by my side and as i arrived i thought i saw you leaving carrying your shoes decided that once again i was just dreaming of bumping into you now it's three in the morning and i'm trying to change your mind left you multiple missed calls and to my message you replied 'why'd you only call me when you're high?' 'hi, why'd you only call me when you're high?' somewhere darker talking the same shite i need a partner well are you out tonight it's harder and harder to get you to listen more i get through the gears incapable of making alright decisions and having bad ideas now it's three in the morning and i'm trying to change your mind left you multiple missed calls and to my message you replied 'why'd you only ever call me when you're high?' 'why'd you only ever call me when you're high?' 'why'd you only ever call me when you're high?'

dip me in promethazine i don't want to leave watch me burn so slowly in heaven i'm deceived living in a failed life looking for a way out drown me in your apathy hold me in your misery persecute my children they're hanging on the wall gratefully forgiven as they take the fall living in a failed life not looking for a way out drown me in promethazine i don't want to leave

last night i had another one of those dreams, the ones where you constantly wake up only to realize you're still dreaming. i saw spiders in my sheets - the fear had woken me up. i jumped out of bed and noticed the spiders were still there biting at my feet - the fear had woken me up. i jumped out of bed, checked my sheets, checked my feet, looked my brother in the eyes and started telling him about my terrible dreams. he then fearlessly pointed at the two enormous love making spiders behind me taking up most of my wall with their screaming bodies. it sang to me in the key of guns guns guns guns guns. the fear had woken me up once more. i lied there long enough to notice an awful pain in my stomach. if your chest was a wall i'd punch a hole through it you're so much prettier than you mothers maiden name her whore name, the name she embraced as a whore. i want to watch you rot. but i know the pain my stomach is still going to be there when i wake up, so what's the point? i'd rather go back to sleep and watch those spiders fuck.

i wanna get high with you in my room i want it to rain i wanna stay in bed today i will change my name i'm counting down the weeks til you until you come home a miracle's gonna come save me it's the only way i wanna build a place in you where i can be made new i wanna sleep until it ends i won't make new friends
10.
you said take the violin that you hang on your wall stick it under your bed before it crumbles and falls just don't open your eyes before counting to ten i can hardly remember just the smell of your hands as they danced on my body running over my pores with the force of a steering wheel crushing my bones said you smell like the devil but you feel like the lord when i think of perfection you know i'm thinking of your voice when you tell me you don't call him your baby cause that was the name that you rightfully gave me and it's foolish to share with someone else my heart goes bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum but you admit that you're lonely you're as cold as a statue pleading 'fuck me' on the marble that was used to create you i can't stand that you're talking when you shouldn't be living i didn't dodge all your bullets just denied that they hit me when my body is bleeding i won't admit that this hurts cause admitting isn't fixing so then what is it worth so to say you're unhappy is like saying you're sorry it's nothing that i care to hear bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum now the tears in your jeans are the holes in your armor you're the thoughts that i've feared you're the mountain i've conquered if i told you i loved you would you reach out and touch me you taste like the ocean and your body's disgusting the only reason you breathe is to sleep through the night the only reason you speak is to tell me i'm fine the only reason you breathe is to sleep through the night the only reason you speak is to state that you're mine my heart goes bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum

you follow me everywhere that i go you're in my dreams oh my god you're haunting me you're in the air you're in my head oh my god can't be still even in my bed and oh my god you're in my head
12.
another turning point a fork stuck in the road time grabs you by the wrist directs you where to go so make the best of this test and don't ask why it's not a question but a lesson learned in time it's something unpredictable but in the end is right i hope you have the time of your life so take the photographs and still frames in your mind put them on a shelf and in good health and in good time tattoos and memories and dead skin all on trial for what it's worth it was worth all the while (x3)
