Home in Death
I’m a mess my heart is shaking
I’m fighting but I can’t make it
I’m fighting a sword fight with a cotton blade
I’m in a card game without my spades
I’m in a race with Oreo's as tires
I'm using gasoline to put out a fire
I’m playing the guitar with no strings
I’m married to death with no ring
I’m attracted to death I find comfort in its promise
You won’t feel, the pain is gone
Like a comet flying in the air Freedom to crash into whatever it dares
A promise. A way to end the suffering
Iv found a way to need to pause it
Wipe the vomit off your sleeve
Hand Pinocchio your shaking knees
You said you wanted to be real?
I guess now someone will know how it feels
So come with me to the grave
I hear the tomb shouting out your name
I hear the peace as the shovels dig
The hole is dug the casket is loaded
All I need is to step inside and wave goodbye to this I life I thought I owned
The moon comes up but the sky’s not home
Please let my soul go
It hurts to live, I feel it in my chest
My heartbeat slows with every regret
Every minute is pain
Every hour too long
The melody of life songs drives daggers into my mind
Caves in my eyes
To the back of my head
Looking back not ahead
Stuck in the past
Is where my present lies
Iv learned to love the devils lies
His company
Hes always here when Gods left me
He offered me a home further then heavens reach
But then dragged me down in the sea
I thought it was a mistake
He burnt his promise at the stake
And cooked my heart
and ate it too
Down his chin runs the remains of my souls last wish
My legs feel heavy
My chest feels weighted
My mind cluttered with self hatred
I feel like I’m driving off the road
Every time I think of death I think it grants me a home
I can’t pay off my loan to this bullsh*t life
The stars don’t pay the sky to live in its sea
The grass never needs to pay the soil for its roots
And gravity doesn’t pay mortgage to the atmosphere
So why do humans have to pay for every pain down here?
Maybe dying will just decay my body to soil
And then I’ll make the grass pay for every root it spoils!
But I have this feeling life has more to offer
But it’s hard to see past these darkens times
It’s hard to hear heavens chimes
A noise still makes sound even if nobody hears it
But how can you trust when you can’t even feel it?
Fly away soul and never come back
Flap your wings leave no track
And fly away with my dreams
Goodbye. Please just let me be
This earth screams pain in every grain of sand
Flower petal
In every fiber
in every metal
In every atom
and every ray
The sunlight is just a bursting ball of pain
Damn does it rain
But mamma told me Find comfort in the promise of pain.
Because without pain what would be freedom.
Rip off the band-aid
Don't hide the scar under your sleeve
be proud of the pain that made you free
Your are stronger than those who have none
Your are stronger then those who hide them
