Sorry Kiddo! 03:32
i swear to fucking god from the first time i saw you i knew i'd have you with system failures and an increase need for an apparatus of a thick skull a deal was struck i was knocking on your ears trying to find something worthwhile. oh what i wouldn't do for a fuck in this town. she is the west while the sun gets murdered in the south, and things are just getting too real in the east so i'm running north, as fast as i can. i don't know what distance will do but i intend to find out she is proof of every mistake i've made my good intentions snapped into pieces like bones tied to sky scrapers growing apart put space in between you and your past, fill it with things that will never last. (carpet my guts on the floor cause no one cares anymore) carpet my guts on the floor so you can have something left to walk on cause no one cares anymore i vote to resurrecting pointless memories just to tag along bad thoughts i got a will but there's just no way

Oh brain please just give us a little more than what we're asking for this is a hostage situation. They had weapons, -they thought they were dangerous, -I feared for her life unfortunately for me. -My eyes locked on her as eager fingers dialed 911. x2 Maybe If I seem like a stereotypical hero -she'll like me again, -I'm only human for trying. I'm only human for trying. Your hour glass figure accommodates a petty shit house, and your words are dead notes. We are not impressed. -She embraced me, golden touch. -This moment in time, forever. -Push hard, dig deep -Pull hard, dig deep Scene two, I wake up. -white hair, white hair, white hair, white hair. -white hair was on the bitch that stole my wife

is this all i can remember now? bury me six feet under and call it home, call it home bury your head in my chest and call it home, call it home so just go to hell and take it all with you so just go to hell and take me with you so just go to hell and say goodbye she cried "pathetic, vile, creature of a man, i will never be yours again." (again) rip your heart out! fill it with shit! and sew it shut! there's tired out poetry hidden in here somewhere plagiarized and spelled out wrong i smell god. I just grow older, And fall down, down, down To that level, You know the place… A mediocre version of hell with a taste of procrastination, while you tip toe out of grasp that old monster turns to man of your dreams. treat your life like a dictatorship and call it home, call us home don't set it on fire if you're not going to put it out, i'm just an old tree being weeded out. why?

i'm going to compose a list of things i don't care about, our economy, china, and what you think about me. oh things will get much better?! oh things will get much better now?! this ship will sit, rot in it's own wit the people are shit and they will go down with it. too depressed to function, cracked gears begin to move, i must ask, what do you do when you are the ship? i don't fucking care i don't fucking care anymore if you had any self respect, you would of killed them long ago give him a heart and he'll break it show him a start and he'll fake it show her a heart and she'll take it give her a home and she'll wreck it i've never been so perfect for anyone in my whole life deceiver! deceiver! don't give me chances to escape i need to learn my lesson black pyramid! come worship everything you hate, you're made of your mistakes. kneeled before you, i'm so tired of praying to a kid with a magnifying glass. black pyramid! pressure breeds pressure. powered by a false god, i am consumed by this machine.

this is the last chance i'm giving myself this is the last chance i'm giving you and if there was ever something there i just couldn't see, don't fucking tell me the realization of no self and relationships going south it punched me so hard i could feel myself shit. if it's as bad as you think then don't go alone it's the black pyramid friend, you live or die beneath it. oh god i need you more now than ever but i know you're not with me on this one i don't ask "is this love?" i know when i'm feeling something if you have to go find yourself then why go alone? i have experience at this kid i've known myself from day one. sure god's dealt you some bad hands but don't make me one (don't make me one) (and if it's as bad as you say then why go alone?) speed up time and watch you grow old hold tight all the words i forgot to say (it's okay it's okay) god is underneath her bed and she keeps praying to the sky and i'm preaching to the choir and they're tired of listening

-We dash, we dine -We turn ourselves into wine. -could it have occurred to you? -I'm a human being. Looking for answers, -and scared of everything. It's too late and he will go after her That son of a bitch will enjoy the spoiled fruits of my failed labor there's just certain things that come to mind in this situation and they should probably never be let out -but i'm just having the hardest time keeping my mouth shut. Fingers cringed with big grins Obvious luck Death to childhood figures with legs closed up Obvious fuck

i'll come bearing gifts glaciers as far as the eye can see if there's something worse than a year of this please show me and i'll erase it. sleep here in desolation while black suits go find better friends we need evolution not a revolution there's a cluster fuck of self satisfaction down here im surprised i won't be out for days no sun and no light who would need such contradictions of themselves when they're both i'll never live, fuck, or breath in this town again humans, we are but a drop of sand in a pointless time glass maybe a kiss or an unexpected enlightenment when did the track marks turn into riffs i could do a rail of art and come back for more such a stereo typical whore who's soft at the core air songs to play up her grace but she'll always be second rate she'll always be just as fake she'll always be last place

I Am A Ghost 01:34
i have straight teeth but a crooked smile what's your logic, does it come from the heart? i have nothing i just want to tear this city apart take off as much as you need i'm still staring at the truth you are an angel i am a ghost

i hope i ensue the wrath of every god i've pissed off, my body delivered to the insects and my bones sent to my enemies to be used as toothpicks you cast a filthy shadow on all art forms some wish you were never born hunched back the process of your doings, I must say off yourself kid, do it. nothing's good enough for straight focused eyes, locked like a heat seeking contraption, touching every factor, (i'm an advocate of my own self an advocate of my own self and i have nothing left to say i'm an advocate of my own self an advocate of my own self and i have nothing left to say) caressing me to sleep tonight . shatter my outer layer, destroy the left brain. serving themselves, the ripe grape truth freshly plucked of a battle worth lost. (x2) well it's a shame but i'd like to ask if everyone's alright i guess not, probably not her keeping me from you keeps me from sleep. well it's a shame but i'd like to ask if everyone's alright i guess not, probably not. her keeping me from you keeps me from sleep , cause we're up all damn night. take something from nothing. trapped in my own faith; i was unsure. i'm an advocate of my own self an advocate of my own self and i have nothing left to say i'm an advocate of my own self an advocate of my own self and i have nothing left to say i'm an advocate of my own self an advocate of my own self and i have nothing left to say i screamed i'm just a kid i didn't come here to die we act like we care but, we all seem to forget in the end. (stop pulling my leg girl it’s just going to fall off) we're all tired of growing older. maybe we can go back home, fall in love one last time. x2 we won't need anything to talk about we just need this dull buzz of shitty music and a feeling of the heart that keeps beating which i'll continue to keep meeting if it's still worth living for
