Everything I touch
Turns to fucking stone
So take my hand my love
I want to be alone
As your skin starts to harden
Like a statuette
In my garden
I feel your skin start to harden
Then collapse back
To where we are and
My green thumb
Has slowly started
To turn black
Everything I've tried to grow
Has died and integrated back
To the earth
Sentenced to repurposing
Swallowed by the dirt
Yet worthy of resurfacing
Everything I touch turns to fucking stone
Everything I touch turns to fucking stone so
Take my hand my love
But I don't want to be alone
So as your skin
Starts to harden
Like a statuette
I'm not finished trying yet

You said this time
Would be different
I wish I could raise the fucking dead
Could the sun rise
Yesterday instead
I can remember their
Smiles but not their eyes
Even when I try hard
To reminisce and shut mine
It's fucked how much
Things fade in time
The old you still resides
Somewhere in my mind
And thrives
Can the sun rise yesterday
Instead
So this goes
Out to all those
Both friend and foe
Who've overdosed
Or felt the rope
Or have came close
To losing hope
Cuz chapters close
And we all cope
In our own
Broken ways
And that's ok
So today spoke to your graves
To convey
I won't forget you
I will never let you
Slip my memory
Whether we were close or we were enemies
Goodbye for only now
I hope you found your peace
I'll always recollect
Like written down
These stories that we've weaved
Could the sun rise yesterday

As the stars
Come crashing down
To the earth In violent bursts
And the skies
Open wide
To show the void
Where heaven lies
I know I'm safe with you
Safe from the deep dismal and dark
Anxieties and fears
Carved into our fucking hearts
So there's solace in this sudden
Slumber of the summer sun
Cuz there's warmth enough
In memories of better months
To embrace this cold with you
I'll embrace the cold with you
And brave the hottest heat
Any July could ever put us through

Martyr

Martyr me
I'll die where I stand
Shroud my eyes
And bind my hands
Reveal the blood
Of a simple man
And effigies may rise
In the place of sand
I'll achieve
Immortality
Through infamy
With these hands
That your god has given me
Martyr me
I'll dies where I stand
Shroud my eyes
And bind my hands
Your god is hypothesis
All I see's hypocrisy
I will fucking thrive off this
Fate you've brought on me
Martyr me
I'll die where I stand
Shroud me eyes
And bind my hands
Reveal the blood
Of a simple man
And effigies may rise
In the place of sand

I've
Never had an enemy
Who harbored ill intent
A trail of memories
Broken and bent
Is all I have in eulogy
Of the time we spent
And this is my elegy
My lament for the dead
You're not who you used to be
Those drugs got to your head
I hope you're out there somewhere
Regretting the things you said
Looking back at the life you lost
When you tossed it all aside
For the needle instead
This is my elegy
Lament for the dead
You're not who you used to be
Those drugs got to your
Fucking head
So
All that effort was for nothing
And this is my elegy
You're not who you used to be
Fuck what you've said

Plagued by Storms

I don't even know who you
Are anymore
I'm sailing away
And you are watching
From the fucking shore
You're still running
Still hiding from your fears
It's nothing new to me
You've been doing this shit for years
Oh I can see right through
Who you
Say you've turned into
You're twisting my words
I won't let yours tangle me
You're all on your own now
And you're drowning out at sea
Metaphorically of course
I've been plagued by storms
And you're the fucking source
It's like you've left me in the rain
And closed the door
To traverse this pain
While you just wash up like a corpse
So much has fucking changed
Over the years
Except for you
You're still running
You're still hiding from your fears
It's nothing new
It's nothing new to me
You're still running
Still hiding from your fears
It's nothing new to me
You've been doing this shit for years
I can see right through you
I don't even know who you
Are anymore
You're all on your own now
As you're drowning out at sea

You buried me six feet deep
And a field of
Pretty flowers grew
I know you're lying through your teeth
I'd be sad too
If I were you
Cuz you buried yourself
In the process
And nothing grew but
A row of crosses
Yeah mourn this loss bitch
Mourn all your losses
Mourn all your fucking losses
Cuz I'm Digging my way up
And digging my way back
Through all the fucking shit
You left in my track
I'd rather shoot myself
A thousand fucking times
Than be near you
For just one mother fucking night
And you have to fucking live with that
You have to fucking live with that
Now
I'd rather take a deep
Breath of fresh water
Than be your lamb
You should be slaughtered
I fucking hate you
So much has built I'm breaking
I can't escape you
I'm fucking sick of faking
That I love you
There's no going back
I'll never be you
You have to live with that
Now
You buried me six feet deep
And a field of
Pretty flowers grew

Everlasting Hate

Good fucking riddance
The world is a better
Place without you in it
Everyone will forget your fucking name
As you rot in an unmarked fucking grave
You brought so much fucking pain
I hope you died
Feeling the fucking same
They say
What goes around
Comes the fuck around
And boy I hope you suffered
Til the very moment
They laid you into the ground
Like the bed you've made
For so many others
I know its in distaste
To speak of the dead this way
But he made it to hell in haste
Welcomed wearing the devils face
And if not the man himself
He made pacts with the devil
We all have our demons
And this fuck was one of several
If you want my opinion
You'll get an honest answer
Even being near him
Made me feel like I had cancer
Eating It's way out of me
Feeding til I let it free
So I will spill my fucking thoughts
While you kill yours off and just let them rot
So if you want my stance
You’ll get an honest answer
Cuz even being near him
Made me feel like I had cancer
And his death was often topic
Of my arbitrary prayers
Gods, though they're chaotic
Show for once they're fucking fair
Cuz
There's a special
Place in
Hell for people
Like him
Dark and lonely
As sin
Tortured and
Forgotten

Closure

You never made me feel like
I had someone to talk to
Now when the fucking cops come
I'll be the one who shot you
Standing on the fucking edge
Blood red hands
Cradle my head
Trying to
Come to terms with
Those awful things you said
To regain my composure
And compose this note
Just to show her
Rather than fucking stabbing
Her over
And over
Instead I said
I won't lie and tell you that it's gonna be alright
You were fine this morning but you're gonna die tonight
So I guess we'll call this closure cuz I'm fucking over it
Call this closure
Cuz it's over
It's all over
And I'm over you
Let's fucking call this closure
Things change as we get older
Your flame's begun to smolder
And it's getting fucking cold
Here.
