I can taste your pretentiousness
It's stained all on your lips
You're the reason we digress
I hope your tongue rots with your breathe
I see more than you think from my line of sight
My past is laced with heavy stakes
I don't play well with others
I dare you to provoke my brothers
Tear me down from the ceiling fan
I'm tired of talking in circles
I'm strung out on the window sill
tearing pages in my journal
Scratching at my wounds
I hope they open soon
I always feel the safest
when I'm in my room
I binge and purge on every urge
I never learn from my mistakes
I always take a few steps forward
And end falling on my face
(I dare you)
I swear this light won't fade
I feel it resonate
It's like it's night & day
The way my mind plays tricks on me

You cannot imagine
The night i saw it happen
you were laying on my mattress
I dont think i can get past this
but I saw you there
I felt so short of breathe
you were sleeping and your hair was soaking wet
We both said some things
we can't take them back
This is just the way it goes
I had to let you know
This is just the way it goes
I'm stronger alone
I'm stuck inside my shell again
I didn't want to let you in
I hope you trip on your attention span
I can barely stand I'm losing sight of land
Going back and forth inside my head
while you're next to me inside my bed
Writing messages I never send
Blaming me for things I never said
we both said some things
we can't take them back
You were there
I saw you sleeping and your hair was soaking wet
I️ can’t take you back, can’t take you back
I️ know you want it

Elm Street

Swerving through the traffic cones
Not sure of where to go
Indecisive and I think
I have problems with control
Press my face in wet cement
I still don’t think I’m better yet
I swore I'd live without regret
but I pass up every chance I get
Drag my feet, in my sleep
cold sweat soaking up my sheets
while Elm street comes and steals my dreams
barricaded, trying to make it
But I'm not scared of anything
except what's resides inside me
Sprinting through my nightmares
of being by myself
I cling to everyone I see
I'm a constant call for help
Maybe I'm outdated
But at least I'm not complacent
I count up my accomplishments
while you drown in your incompetence

Stalling out
There's cuts in my mouth
I let you down
look at me now
Take me back to when
I felt better in my head
When I didn't need the meds
and had clarity instead
Confined inside my cubicle
The walls are caving in
I can't believe I got so far
From what I could have been
My veins are cold
Filled with dust and mold
This body's up for auction
and it's close to being sold
The hair falls from my scalp
too much pride to ask for help
my vision starts to melt
I'm left with scars and welts
I gave you the world
now I'm taking it back
It took me some time
but now I know where I'm at
