"Succulent Succubus" Fuck you, yo. These cold morning bring us warm days. This phrase works both ways. I am plagued by the face that you made when I took your life away. When I took your fucking life away. As I wipe the frost from the windows, at the sill still I pretend you Never left and that nothing is different. But I can feel that a weight has been lifted. And it's cool, these shoulders needed a break. So just relax, this was no mistake. And these hands, they don't even fucking shake Anymore, I feel awake. I feel awake now. It's like the moment I met you I closed my misguided eyes for good. It wasn't until you left me that I finally understood. That you are nothing but a demon in a woman's body I knew if I didn't do what I did You'd always haunt me. Like you would always taunt me. Am I not fucking good enough? The only thing you taught me Was to not believe in love. The only thing You taught me Was not To believe. And no I'm not sorry In fact I feel fucking justified cuz One more night with you beside me And I woulda died inside and I have never cried inside I have more pride than that cuz I have buried the hatchet In turn to unearth an axe. Succulent succubus, I like the way it rings I'm done with you I'm done with this. Forever doesn't mean a fucking thing. Forever more.

Spoken Word 03:32
"Spoken Word" Please Forgive my past negligence But I'll male my feelings evident I never vent but today I will preach As if I am fucking heaven-sent. I never meant to break our chains. But now they are forever bent. So everything I write today Is far beyond irrelevant. And now I'm hesitant To brave the fucking storm But I guess they say that All is fair in games of Love and war. (x2) Love and war (x2) As we lose Touch with what We once held So fucking tight, Once again We must learn New tricks to Sleep throughout the night. And all we have now is These words. And these words were meant to be spoken. And so just as quickly as I wrote them, they will fade as if they're for no one. no one. No one. And these veins of mine Were meant to be opened It's time to draw the fucking line Between my life And my death but When the past won't die What do we even have left But this pain inside? Forever burning In my chest

"Throes of Warmth" So here it goes For all of those Who oppose Those who arose From ash and bone And tattered homes, Ripping fucking sword from stone. In search of thrones Worth dying for. And a place to call our home Worth fighting for When the throes of warmth bring us woe and war, when the throes of warmth bring war.... Where will you be when the truth starts pouring out from every bruised and battered mouth? now pick your teeth up off the ground, and with each fucking one, keep count (x2) Count every lie you've ever kept inside (x2) Cuz when the throes of warmth Bring us woe and war The cost is the cost worth fucking dying for. And with the skies opened wide, take a look right there inside. Witness a tear in space and time and find you're fucking blinded by the light that's spewing through when you realize it's reflecting you in the tides swiftly rushing to reclaim the earth and start anew. alas our story ends, fate is not our friend and nihilism is the only way to make amends, yuh.

"Night Terrors" I am losing touch with what I love and hold so tight. As I fall into the unforgiving grasp of fucking night. I can hear his claws dragging up the walls again Drowned in fear like oceans, lost and I can't escape this hell I'm in. I can't even see his face, shroud in obsidian mask. The shadow figure leaves no trace, just dissipates like fog on glass. yet his weight on my chest feels so fucking real. Wolves' hunger cannot be repressed and I'm sleeping in their fucking field. I can't breathe Or feel anything Inside of me All of my dreams are becoming nightmares now. All of my dreams (x6) I can't fucking breathe Or feel any fucking thing Inside of me as All of my dreams are becoming nightmares now. All of my dreams (x2)

"Paradise is Misery" Haven't made headway in over a fucking month, and I still can't find my way cuz I am just a waste and a punk. You can find me in hell with the bastards and drunks, yes you can find me in hell rotting with all of the bastards and the motherfucking drunks. fuck. They said that hope floats, but my ship has been sunk. They said to hold on to all of my dreams, but no one informed me that nothing nothing is what it seems. They said to hold fast, but nothing good fucking lasts. They said that hope floats, but no one told me that I would be drowning by twenty-five when all of my life I thought I'd thrive. (I would thrive) God, was I wrong. Over and over I'm at it again, dissecting decisions and counting my sins. Silent as sirens in storms as they sing, I'm holding on to nothing. Anchors away- I am food for the sharks, I'm tired of searching for day in the dark. I'm tired of searching for what I'll never find. There's a light between oceans, but I'm fucking blind. Oh. I'm falling faster than I ever thought I would. And I'm sinking farther than I ever thought I could. Forever faithful towards the fucking fate to which I'm bound. And I'm grateful that I'm not scared to drown... So, wrap this anchor around my feet, and I will dive into the sea. Because paradise is misery, this paradise is misery. Wrap this anchor around my feet, and I will dive into the sea. Because paradise is misery, this paradise is misery. Over and over I am at it again, I am dissecting my decisions and counting all my fucking sins. Silent as sirens in storms as they fucking sing, I am holding on to nothing because I am nothing. Anchors away- I am food for the sharks. I am tired of searching for day in the dark. I am tired of searching for what my soul wont ever find, There is a light between these oceans but I am blind. Blind.
