Abandoned

under the surface
affliction enters softly
insentient fragmentation
settles onto me
and i inhale
the fumes
scratching the surface
i exhale
ten thousand tendrils
unfurl out of me
and you name me
again
misuse me, abuse me
you choose me, and bruise me
excuse me, induce me
with what it is you see
I am abandoned

Deep Down

Do you know which way to turn when the shadow’s to your right?
I don’t know where to go if i leave you here tonight
Cause you’re an animal with the tendency to kill me in a fight
Deep down you’ve reconciled with the demon you’ve survived
I’ll cower here for you if i make it out alive
I’m swimming in the mess that i made for you, that you’re using now to thrive
I am the urge to break in
Deep down i am awakened
I am the ground beneath your feet
I am the air you breathe
I’ll be your skin, your shackles
Burn your thoughts down to a fractal
I’ll be your satisfactions
Purified from drunk abstraction
Deep down
So now i see the signs that you’re in it for the change
Your blood is leaking; its starting to rearrange
I’m picking up the pieces that you left behind, and they’re deranged
I can’t break out alive if you don’t need me
A cryptic cyanide just for you to feed me
I can’t break out alive if you mislead me
I am the animal and you’ll just breed me
I am the urge to break in
Deep down I am awakened
I am the ground beneath your feet
I am the air you breathe
I’ll be your skin, your shackles
Burn your thoughts down to a fractal
I’ll be your satisfactions
Purified from drunk abstraction
Breathe

Fiction

You lost yourself somewhere down the road
an ounce of power just to ease the load
you came to me just to fix what you had sold
I came to you with my heart and soul
I don't know who I am but you can tell me my name
I'm an innocent but you can take me and hurt me the same
after I'm ashes I'll inhale 'til it rots into my brain
smoking cause when you're on fire, a flame is just simply a flame
I'm waking to the aftermath, words can't explain
what's flowing inside me is a burning through my veins
you can't see what I see, or so I say
you can't hear what I think, or so I pray
cause you've gotta get out of here
cause you've gotta get out of here
cause you've gotta get out of here
cause you've gotta get out of here
cause you've gotta get out of here
cause you've gotta get out of here
cause you've gotta get out of here

reach away from what you had
there's no reason to hold onto me anymore
I've found exactly where I fit into
these broken grooves, alone
I held your head against the flame
but you came here anyway
an answer to my sins
and you're an animal
I don't know what's lingering inside
and I want to see you
and I want to find something more
and I want to feel you
lay me down in ashes
put me down again
you held me up to see the starlight
it would be shining in my eyes
if I had come back down to earth
you scraped them 'gainst the walls
it was a tragedy if you could see the pain
I was expressionless, no blame
torn away from my own entity
the resurrection of my hate
my heart was strewn across the room
you were standing there watching me fall down
and I want to see you
and I want to find something more
and I want to feel you
lay me down in ashes
put me down again

I lost myself somewhere down the road
and I don't regret it
no, I won't let it
leave it at the door, baby
you can't let go
(ok, ok... lemme tell you what I'm talkin' bout)
wake up, wake up
shape up, shape up
you won't talk about it
and these feelings in my chest
they can't keep me going much longer
and I need you
and I want you
leave it at the door, baby
I won't let go
I don't want to hurt forever
I don't want to let it get away
cause I've gotta get out of here
cause I've gotta get out of here
cause I've gotta get out of here
gotta get out of here

Sound Good

I need to satisfy these aches
so I won't hesitate to break you
I don't want to talk about it
not even a squawk about it
to sound good, to sound sound good
I don't want to hear about it
no need to have fear about it
it feels good, it feels good
you know that I'm right about it
no reason to fight about it
I sound good, I sound sound good
so come here and lay around it
your innocence, never found it
it feels good, it feels good
I'm not the criminal you see
it's all invisible to me
so stop your fictional disease
you're just part of my fantasy
baby, you're electric-ton degrees
but not nearly shocking enough for me
you weep and fall onto your knees
but I won't listen to your pleas
so stop your fictional disease
you're just part of my fantasy
