I know i'm all fucked up
From all the stuff you said
But i really should not listen
To the voices in my head...
One shoulder has an angel
That says i need some fun
But theres a little demon
Sitting on the other one
One is quick to tell me
That all my pain will pass
And i should go on living
Or she'll kick me in the ass
The other whispers softly
That pain will quicker go
If i just slit my wrists
And let the blood freeze in the snow
And so the torrid arguement
Reverbs in my head
Do i really want to live?
Or should i just be dead?
Insanitys a funny thing
So with much introspection
I listen to both arguements
For truth and for deceptions
Both have their points, i will concede
I wearied of this world
Long before my "recent loss"
into depression hurled
And i can't find a reason
To just rebuild and then
Have my life so newly fixed
Torn apart again
The angel on the right replies
That help and time will heal
The demon points out poignantly
Death ends it all for real
So I listen while they spat
And debate to and fro
All the whileI idly count
Ice diamonds in the snow
.. and looking at the icicles
I listen to their "sell"
And realize that i'd warmer
If i lived in hell
But.. you love the summer!
The angel does point out
Camping in the woods
And scurrying about
In these you take pleasure
This place you live is home
The demon points out quickly
Its no fun to walk alone
And i don't know the answer
... watching snow drift from the skies
I listen to them argue
While we ponder my demise.
I was swamped in despair.. i admit it, when he came..
It was dark; as it is always when you wake from horrid dreams...
I sobbed into my pillow in the total black of night
Fighting back the horror and my screams
Knowing in the dark nothings what it seems
With my pillow soaked, i lay exhausted.
Feeling old and tired, though that is nothing new...
When i heard the fluttering of feathers in the dark
I knew not where they came from or where they're going to.
Perhaps mind decieves me, but who knew?
I don't own a bird, and never had one stray in here...
So i listened for a moment, when I heard it come again.
I rolled over, looking round me for the source
Thinking some stray thing was blown in by the wind
Then i saw him in the corner by the streetlight drifting in....
He was beautiful and tall, his wings were black..
Startled for the moment, I could only stare
And i could see him watching me as i was watching him.
No word, or none that i could hear as he was standing there.
Perhaps he knew for Life, i no longer cared
I'd no idea what this creature could even possibly want.
My life, my soul, then take it wraith its nothing to me now
He moved closer to me in the darkness of my room
I didn't see a weapon but instead i saw him bow
Whatever was this creature wanting of me now?
Instead he sat beside me on the bed
Then he sat silent, waiting, perhaps for me to speak
He didn't move a muscle beyond what it took to sit
And i lay silent wondering what this creature seeks.
And then he speaks...
The whisper was familar, it was gentle it was soft
Familiar like a voice i'd heard before, perhaps in dream.
He touched me softly only with the tip of feathered wing
Showing me that nothings what it seems
- I wait for him to tell me where he's been..
He said "I'm truly sorry that i wasn't here tonight.
Its obvious you needed me and I was not around
Demons sometimes have their own errands to run."
I could hear him speaking but his lips had made no sound
My thoughts were bound...
"I promise that no nightmares will trouble you again
You're exhausted, let me guard you in your sleep
I can lay and hold you here, you need not be afraid
And you know all your secrets i can keep"
(i swear to you no evil things will creep)
Desperate and alone i nod my scarlet head
He held me with his wings wrapped around my heart
The demon lay beside me, there upon my bed.
Sleeping in his Feathers in the Dark.
FOR EVERY GIRL who EVER had an X!!!!!
This not about ANYONE.. not even about the guy i've been writing about recently
Its my 1st husband.. its my 2nd husband.. its every boyfriend i ever had.
So this is a song for ALL THE GIRLS who have Xs who make you crazy because you won't behave the way they want.
******************************
You called me up this morning to talk about my songs
And shit that i've been writing, to tell me that its wrong
To air my broken heart or put it out on public view
As usual my darling, this isnt' about YOU~!
chorus
Everytime I find a way to deal with how i feel
You come along, you say its wrong, oh god this can't be real
You took all of me, then threw my life off track
and nothing you can ever say will ever give it back...
(you just can't do damage control.. cause you can't take it back...)
Gee .. you know i'm sorry, my pains messing with your life
I don't care if she's your girlfriend or if she's your future wife..
My pain is MINE i'll write it down, anywhere i like
Stop crushing me in private, baby, you don't have that RIGHT!
chorus
Everytime I find a way to deal with how i feel
You come along, you say its wrong, oh god this can't be real
You took all of me, then threw my life off track
and nothing you can ever say will ever give it back...
(you just can't do damage control.. cause you can't take it back...)
bridge:
so fuck you if think that i should just bottle it up inside
when i leave it there its only eating me alive,
But you just want your privacy
I"m fighting for my sanity
I'm not giving me up for your pride!
So look around at what is left cause its how you want to be
You can pretend that you're so perfect but you're not fooling ME
So keep your ring and keep your notes and all that other stuff
Please do me a favour, baby.. just fuck right off!
chorus
Cause.... Everytime I find a way to deal with how i feel
You come along, you say its wrong, oh god this can't be real
You took all of me, then threw my life off track
and nothing you can ever say will ever give it back...
(you just can't do damage control.. cause you can't take it back...)
I'll write your name in blood all over me
I'm gonna slit my wrists to make the ink
And when the canvas's covered you will see
I saved the last of me for you to drink
(I can't think)
Have you ever hurt so very much inside
You need to see the pain upon your skin?
And did some sweet love take you for a ride?
Then when the pain just eats you up they tell you its a sin...
(where'd it begin?)
Who's there to love you when its done
And everything you dreamed will eat you up
Lovers only love you while its fun
So you watch your blood dripping in the cup
(drink it up?)
Take the athame down off the wall
Its ritual abuse but you're the one holding the knife
If you let them they will take it all
As they suck up your love and then your life
(a sacrifice?)
Whats left for you when everything is gone
And the blood once in your veins is on the ground
You're no longer anybodies pawn
And it no longer matters what went down
(I'm not around)
Surrounded by the nothingness thats death
No more pain or sorrow and no tears
I will swear to you with my last breath
That i won't miss my anguish or my fears
(The end is here)
Once you said you loved me, then you cast me aside
I swear to you I've done my best to stop from loving you
I know that its embarrasing for you to know i cry
And i should just "get over it" The way you want me to
But I'm just too far gone i guess and i can't make it work
And though i know i try Its all for naught
I'm sorry if my bitching makes you feel like a jerk
cause i don't mean to put you on the spot..
chorus:
But you're the one whos causing all this pain
I wish that i could help myself.
That something could be gained
From all the hurt and i swear that its true
I wish that i could stop my love for you.
The dark is way too lonely and too cold
My demons swirl around me in the night
I know you'd wish i'd disapear if you could be so bold
But nothing that try, ever turns out right.
And all the best laid plans of mice and men
Cant save me from the fate that waits for me
If I could do it over then i'd do it all again
Which truly shows how stupid i can be...
chorus:
Cause you're the one whos causing all this pain
I wish that i could help myself.
That something could be gained
From all the hurt and i swear that its true
I wish that i could stop my love for you.
bridge:
You crushed me when you cast me off for her
You said you'd love me always but you lie
A younger woman gave you want you want
And now i wish that i could wilt and die!
I've tried to hide my pain and pretend that i don't i don't care
But i cant stand the hurt when i reach and you're not there....
Now no one holds my hand when I'm afraid
Cause i can't trust myself and i just want to die
The things that you will do to get you laid
Are killing me and shattering me inside
I know that i don't want to love again
You've shown me just how worthless I can be
And if i'd just shut up and seal away my pain
I'm sure you'd be entirely relieved...
chorus:
But you're the one whos causing all this pain
I wish that i could help myself. That something could be gained
If i could rip my heart out of my chest i swear i would
But we both know my life has never turned out like it should...
With all this hurt and i swear to you its true
I wish that i could stop my love for you...
Ya no matter what you say and no matter what i do
Only death it seems will stop my love for you.
She screams PLEASE DONT LEAVE ME! But he's already gone...
Alone in the dark, now its over, its done.
and the tears fall unheeded and with agony tears
her heart from her breast and she watches it there
Laying so cold on the ground at her feet
Amazed in her horror to watch it still beat
For how can she still be alive to still feel
When everythings finished and nothing seems real
And nightmares surround her and horror and fear
Cause nobody loves her and nobody cares
And over and over she wonders, amazed
That her heart is still beating, her head is so dazed
Yet still she can feel all of this in her mind
No hope in her future no healing to find
And blind to her pain he just turned and he went
She drifts back to hell, to that place she's been sent.
Ode to a dead cyber affair
It's gone but not forgotten
And this is not a dis
There really are so many things
'bout this affair I'll miss
The soothing sound of your sweet voice
that caused my heart to soar
(Though i admit t'was hard to hear
above the cell phones roar)
Your tender vows of passionate love
Forever meant to last
(Though i wondered just how often
you'd used that line in past)
I'll miss the sexy tone of voice
That made my thighs so wet
(but when we finished talking
dildos were a safer bet)
I miss the soft sweet nothings
You'd whisper in my ear
(though i didn't really do the things
you told me to, I fear)
That night when by soft candle light
Our webcams showed desire
(i can't apologize enough
for setting the sheets on fire)
And though it did not smoothly go
You caused my heart to jump
(and i never blamed you once my dear,
you could not get it up)
But i do miss your laughter
And those moments all alone
That we spent jerking off, my love
Together on the phone
She lay upon the dew soaked grass
In tattered satin gown
Alone and lost, forgotten
As the rain came pouring down
Her face, half burried in the mud
One blue eye open to the sky
As people on the boulevard
Oblivious, walked on by
Faded in her beauty
Once so delicate
No longer wearing finery
Or jewels so intricate
She lays among the dirt and weeds
And no one sees her there
Dirty faced, stares at the sky
Nobody knows or cares
Yet she once was somebodys love
Her gowns were finest silk
Safely held in someones arms
Her skin as white as milk
But now she lies half burried
Where no one saw her fall
Sinking slowly in the dirt
A broken porcelain doll
Dont' TOUCH ME!
Soul shattering screams in the astral...
Dont HURT ME!
I've had enough pain, a whole life full...
Don't LOVE ME!
I'm frozen and achingly fragile
Don't WANT ME!
I'm poison; and dark souled in lifestyle
Don't TELL ME
I know you don't have the right words
Don't FIGHT ME
No matter what you may have heard
Don't MAKE ME
Run screaming off into the night
Don't CALL ME
I'm not coming back from this flight
Don't JUDGE ME!
You've not walked a mile in my shoes
Don't PLAY ME!
We both know that i've paid my dues
Don't ASK ME!
You don't know where my answers lie
Don't HELP ME!
When darkness comes just let me die.
I'm not going to make it *she whispers*
Alone to the dark she could scream,
But theres no one around who can hear it
Locked in her mind in a dream
And the cold winds of winter swirl round her
And fear even colder than night
Freezes her blood and her body
As slowly she loses the fight
She whimpers, no arms wrapped around her
Huddled alone on the ground
She cries to the wind all unheaded
Naked, alone with hands bound
No requiem, no one to mourn her
She locked them all out with their lies
One agonized breath left to leave her
She closes her eyes... and she dies.
I awake in the dark before dawn
From a nightmare, clutching the sheets
Lost in a world with no light
With no compass, no map, for strange streets
No solace, no cure for the pain
Thats tearing my heart from my chest
No longer a lover to cling to
No friendship to help me find rest
MAKE IT STOP! I scream to the darkness
But theres no one to hold back the tears
Streaming endlessly over my face
My soul taken over by fears
So the pain unceasingly grows
Till all senses are far overwhelmed
No light guiding me through my darkness
No pilot with hands on the helm
I'm lost.. so so lost, and so hopeless
I'll never find my way home
Seeking within me a reason
For some will to even go on
I grope in the dark for solutions
Finding only a knife and my pain
Solace I find in the ending
My life flowing out of my viens.
Don't cry for me now that its over
My agonys finished, its best
The pain finally over and ended
Be happy for me in my rest.
