Paper And Trees Taken captive by thoughts of worthlessness Held hostage by feelings of brokenness Paper tears so easily And the silence starts to get to me I'm loosing all that's left of me I'm just a speed bump to them That's all I am I'm just a slip of paper Compared to all the trees Ive been folded up and worn down And now they've surrounded me That's what they are A forest of trees I depend on them to breath On my own I wouldn't make it- I could never leave I'm just a slip of paper, Compared to all the trees

Once Upon A Time Once upon a time It wasn't an option Once upon an accident That changed my #life The wing of a butterfly He and I broke all at once But I only knew of him then I didn't know my smile was pretend I don't do it to die And it's not that I don't try I don't do it for the pain And even the sting is gone now I need my release I need my escape I need to see my blood Like you need your drugs Slide the blade across your skin Slice a nice little line Watch the blood fill Watch it overflow- Roll down your arm Feel the warmth Rest in the comfort Knowing the pressure is out Eventually it clots and dries And that little peace you had is gone So you have to come back for more It's like a drug You can't resist Your an addict You just can't resist This is my drug.

Tattered Tattered You slip away from reality; Endless nothingness Curiosity ignites My imagination is set free Amber and scarlet fill the air Wisps and swirls as clouds around us Agony in your eyes But I can't stop the torture It's out of my hands But the blood is still dripping off my finger Distance- as if we had never existed As if the world is something new The tables have turned And the sky is never blue Misery and anguish You reach for me; hopeless But your arms are too short And mine aren't long enough Desperate for something to hold onto Clinging to your last breath Eyes glisten over I know you're already gone Deep eyes like the sky Now empty Countless time And you never returned again
