I see you mixing muddy colors
They blend into the sweetest mist
I want this image to be captured
Like the lizard sign around my wrist
Curved in rows
Like Ravens and crows
With shrieks and groans
They swirled in my crown
A faded yellow of the flame
Below the arch that's blackened, smoked
I wasn't ever in your frame
Not even randomly sidenoted
Curved in rows
Like Ravens and crows
With shrieks and groans
They swirled in my crown

Why Don't You See Them

What is it like to die
What is it like to die
Is it the last full stop
or just a way to start over
You see this blinding light
You see this blinding light
They want to take my life
They wanna to take my soul
Why don’t you see them
Why don’t you see them
Why don’t you see
Why don’t you see them
Why don’t you see them
Why don’t you see
What is it like to die
What is it like to die
You wanna stay alive
The game can not be over
You’ll see this blinding light
You’ll see this blinding light
And they can take your life
Just don’t give up your soul
Why don’t you see them
Why don’t you see them
Why don’t you see
Why don’t you see them
Why don’t you see them
Why don’t you see
See them
See them

I run upstairs endlessly
Keep stumbling but still balancing.
The wheel
Is a pill for boredom
I feel like shreds of a broken vase,
In this mean world I’m just a guest.
I fall apart,
Decay into atoms
I realize
This is the price
I pay to feel something again
A coin to start a new game
Pour down your lies
When I’m crucified
We can’t avoid meeting face to face
Trapped in this time and space
I am a plague, I'm spreading blind
A black hole drilling deep inside
Itself
To look around
The journey isn’t an answer, so
I can't help searching row by row.
An absent soul
Cannot be found
I realize
This is the price
I pay to feel something again
A coin to start a new game
Pour down your lies
When I’m crucified
We can’t avoid meeting face to face
Trapped in this time and space

Gravy

The boiling pan that's full of thoughts
And contradictions spiced with scare
I'm sinking in. My jelly lungs
Cannot breathe in a bit of air
Take me out of gravy, pour into your dish
I'll stare with glassy eyes
Of a foul rotten fish, foul rotten fish
Suck my life
Tear off a tidbit of my rare soul
No one will know, while we're alone
Tear off a tidbit of my rare soul
Only while we’re alone
You sit on my bones, rolling your eyes
Then fall on the ground, jerking in pleasure
Shake the sauce stains off your lips
All my feelings are gone whatsoever
Tear me apart
And suck my blood
Then lick my bones
Shake the sauce off
Tear off a tidbit of my rare soul
No one will know, while we're alone
Tear off a tidbit of my rare soul
Only while we’re alone
