Black Out




The light we need has always been over head, but we're blinded by an imitation. 

~ Look at the stars. ~  

We spent our time in the shadows of dimmed street lights. 
Everything seemed perfect there, only for a moment. 
An endless cycle, more than once we said goodbye,
But we never let go of a subconscious one last hope.

We met each other in damaged dreams many times,
In big houses full of taunting, opinionated people.
Were we fortunate both our times never seem to align?
We still tried to meet under the dimmed street lights once in a while. 

Sometimes people are lucky that light bulbs burn out -
That's the funny thing about dimmed street lights.
We didn't know the difference between black and brown outs until now,
Until there was just one remedy to those haunting lights.

Finally, I can see the stars outside my wake-less dreams. 
They're brighter and better than I thought possible. 
I broke the curse of that incessant need
To walk blindly on the tedious path for so long. 

I can't find my way back to those dimmed street lights. 
Not anymore, not even in my wildest dreams.
All those memories quickly blur in the back of my mind
Because today I finally found my remedy.

Off With Her Head



We find ourselves craving the insanity of the past to ease our minds.

~ There's no remedy. ~

I'm haunted by my additions. 
I let demons take over my brain.
I like feeling the afflictions
Of how the ghosts course in my veins.

Some think I'm insane,
But sanity is just a definition, 
A mode for society to tame.

I think I'm losing my head.
I'm falling deeper down the hole.
They don't understand the world that only I know.
They see me sipping from your tea again.
So, they scream, "Off with her head!"
"Off with her head!"

I've tried to get them to understand,
But my words get lost in the haze.
My illusions take me to a wonderland.
I'm at peace in my dystopian state.

Some think I need to be saved,
But safety is a state of mind,
A feeling our brain creates.

I think I'm losing my head.
I'm falling deeper down the hole.
They don't understand the world that only I know.
They see me sipping from your tea again.
So, they scream, "Off with her head!"
"Off with her head!"

I follow you down.
I follow you down time after time. 
I think I'm in control. 
I follow you down. 
Are you controlling my mind?

I think I'm losing my head.
I'm falling deeper down the hole.
They don't understand the world that only I know.
They see me sipping from your tea again.
So, they scream, "Off with her head!"
"Off with her head!"

I follow you down.
So, they scream, "Off with her head!"
I follow you down.
And then,
Off with my head.

Ashes

Fires can burn so beautifully, but they can burn for eternities.

~ Return ashes to ashes. ~




You hand me a lighter, and I suck in your lies.
The attempt is innocent, and I'm slipping out of reality. 
You're painting beautiful pictures in front of my eyes.
Open the window. I'm fading on this ride. 

We're sitting outside in a place we know all too well.
We've been trapped in vehicles of loneliness before. 
We've made memories in our own creation of hell.
Yet, you sit next to me breathing lies and killing brain cells.

You looked so cool, your face so tempting, 
But a barrier is building up like smoke on the windows.
In my right mind, I wouldn't know what I was accepting.
In this fog, I see clear signs of regressing.

One second I'm here in reality, the next an awful dream.
My chest hurts and I'm trying to wake up.
This is the last time I find myself in this passenger seat.
Once again, we're just a nightmare on repeat.

There's a thick haze glossing over my eyes.
I don't know what I'm saying before I confess,
But I'm speaking with a clearer mind.
For the first, time I'm in control of these lines.

My heart beats faster as my mind plays games on me.
A single feeling used to take all the worry away. 
From the outside, I watch myself refute it so naturally.
You move your hands back to yourself callously.

You hand me a lighter, and I suck in the truth.
You were my fire, but now you're just ashes.
Our story's been burnt out and this is long overdue. 
You're just ashes now. I've finally extinguished you.
