The day you buried me I thought I had met my end. Drowning in the soil, I spent my days clawing for the surface, trying to find my way back. You tried to wash away who I once was. Saturated, I could feel the strength return. Loneliness knew no bounds when the sun hit my face for the first time. Built atop the ruins of my past selves, I stand and prepare. Feet planted firmly, this is my home. I have built in you a place to become everything I could have ever been. Foes ripped from their families, I flourish. The blood that pumps through my veins, sweet and sticky, will never stain the dirt. I have refused defeat. Mother Earth, in all her grace, has gifted me the phoenix blessing. I have risen from the failures of others and stand, fire-proof, soaking in your power. You may perceive me as small, inconsequential, but it is through your apathy that you will be left in my wake. I have dug deep into the earth, taking all I can. A diamond in the rough, I eat the words of those who surround me and feast upon their failures. My face to the sky, I can only get stronger, and though I saw your birth, you will never see my death. You will never witness my end.

A strange feeling, looking at the sky As if through the cheap, broken blinds Of a household with too many cats And too few windows All of whom wish to see outside And dream of the feral freedoms they once had Annihilating plastic that to them means nothing All to relive a world they don’t remember A strange feeling, when you realize The sky brings rain as well as the sun You could see from a distance An occasional glance to confirm Assumptions from only a partial picture Disconnected from them, now, you, too, are feral, As you dreamed to be; locked out in the rain, Aching joints from the change in pressure Alone, you’ll see the sun again A piece of you I will never see It's a strange feeling A piece of me I will never show It's a strange feeling Barely room to breathe. Underneath it all Waterless river Still skipping stones Flows all the same Before sinking below Faceless friend Stream of consciousness Ambience fills the room Atmosphere thickens There’s a taste in my mouth And an ache in my throat Metallic and throbbing Emotion rubbed raw Vibrations from the slightest touch The softest niche Souls spread black on paper Accent for a one language I used to think I’d known loneliness until the day I truly did Barely room to breathe. Underneath it all. Barely room to breathe Artificial. Underneath it all. Nothing left. Barely room to breathe Waters red. Underneath it all. Escape. Alone, you will see the sun again And relish in the idea that your light is no longer artificial A piece of you I will never see It's a strange feeling A piece of me I will never show It's a strange feeling Barely room to breathe. Underneath it all

Sunday morning and I can still smell your hair on the pillow Sunday morning and I can still taste the regret from your lips Sunday morning and I can still feel your fingers shake Sunday morning and I can still hear your heart beat Sunday morning You thought you could control me You've never been more mistaken I tried my best to push you away but you couldn't be left alone I tried to remove you so many times The faces I see when I close my eyes Aren't the same as when they're open When they're open So sink into the sheets The sun will never grace Your hair through this Window again You'll clean the stains you left behind And take them to the other side I'm not your perfect little doll You're the only one here made from plastic I'm not who you wish I was I am so much worse So soak into the sheets and I will burn these memories of us I'd rather you left me on my own Than left me to your devices Trust I'll come with the force of a thousand armies Trust you've never felt a Power like mine So sink into the sheets The sun will never grace Your hair through this Window again You'll clean the stains you left behind And take them to the other side Don't fall asleep without one eye open You don't know when I will strike You best be afraid, child Violence in my words Violence when I speak You will feel me I promise that Kill off the species Stay calm Keep breathing Witness this Genocide Our bodies are Only temporary It's time for you To surrender yours To a higher power It's not what you lack It's what we can gain Know how it feels To truly be afraid Take a chance with me Take a chance with me Feel Take a chance with me Helpless Take a chance with me Empty Take a chance with me Take a chance with me

Have not seen the sun for days anything but sludge forever climbing grinding my teeth sharp Choking back the nerves. Finally emerge Blinded by a new world The air is full of loathing. The first step out marks the beginning of the end. Nothing must be left alive. Nothing to be left uncollected. Waters turn red. Infrastructure crushed. Obstacles surpassed. Eyes to the stars. Never stop moving. Arms extended, Hands opened wide Until the goal was taken away, again and again. Escape. A brighter place appears ahead. Pure and free. Jump inside. Eyes to the stars. When the veil is gone, the world becomes the same as before. It returns, an endless loop. Dream Blind leaps of faith and treks through the dark muck just a puppet on frail strings with a blade too dull to free himself. Working on Changes Down here Just in case This is the difference between what I feel I've earned What I feel is mine And what I feel I deserve Travel through Time and space Let me see Let me taste Missing you Wishing to As if I Could ever Travel through my body and mind Time and space have left me behind Let me see inside the places you abandoned me Let me taste your sea Missing you for the same reasons I hated myself Wishing to realize the things I never felt As if I deserve more Could ever be your final removal from the reality You still crave

Watch out the claws they tear and rip skin, delicate leave it in one piece, Eddy and Billy take your face and parade a flag, they smile and bathe as you lay there just a martyr empty on the outside, wondering if this was your fate since you were born. The purge rats dance over a flame, trading masks and licking lips, hands atop a book abridged a thousand times. I’ve never minded the things I could not hold Over my head The sounds of working Muscles and bitter skin The day I bit through my tongue Is the day I tore out my teeth Because I told myself Never to smile at the thought of you It’s better to choke in the dirt Than to drown in the snow If my feet are carrying Me home Is there such a thing as the wrong road? It’s the child’s voice who doesn’t know that life is still suffering And the elder voice who refuses to spoil the surprise I’ve made too many friends whose faces I can't recognize You have played the role of two on a stage with no audition, All the cast took their bow, joining those who paid admission, They watch you writhe alone deep inside. You have played the role of two pushing one into submission, All the cast scream their mind, diagnose a wrong condition. They all feel fine, clutching foolish pride Leave me be, just leave me be. Held down, given no room to grow. Ribs break and you're gasping for air. The pack rots in its old ideals then hunts when smells blood Their curses cut deep through yesterday's scars. The claws can't keep out of someone else's life. You have played the role of two on a stage with no audition, All the cast took their bow, joining those who paid admission, They watch you writhe alone deep inside. You have played the role of two pushing one into submission, All the cast scream their mind, diagnose a wrong condition. They all feel fine, clutching foolish pride Raised in the wrong home, Mind a twister Do your best to forget me, I am not who you know

The sadness in your eyes Like the children we pass on the street And ignoring their empty styrofoam cups As they beg for money And beg for change So when you told me not to come home All I could think was, at least I have a home I can leave The Summer rain always tasted cleaner You know it's not in the words you say But the space inbetween The silences you let fester I've been searching for anything to tell me Anything at all And who will take my place In my bed when I'm away? And who will take my seat at the table? And who will notice when My bones betray my skin And who will make me leave when I'm unable? I regret everything I remember And I never forget I thought I would miss your waves Until I remembered how it felt to drown I know all the words you never bothered to say Are all the words I needed to hear Scratch at the walls until your fingers turn blue You know we'll turn our heads And who will take my place In my bed when I'm away? And who will take my seat at the table? And who will notice when My bones betray my skin And who will make me leave when I'm unable? And who will take my place In my bed when I'm away? And who will take my seat at the table? And who will notice when My bones betray my skin And who will make me leave when I'm unable? Wait This isn't the place This isn't home This is no place at all Wait This isn't the time This watch isn't mine The hands point me in the wrong directions Wait This isn't my mind I've seen the insides The wheels turn, but I still can't navigate Wait This isn't the map I've never been so lost Spit the gravel to make the roads Wait This isn't my heart The way it used to beat I've never felt so hollow Wait These aren't my muscles I feel weak I can feel the weight of it all Wait These aren't my words I'd never speak this way I can't hear my own voice anymore Wait I've felt this before The tremors you give That rattle my bones and boil me When you take it make sure you take it all When you fail, make sure you remember the fall Nothing will ever change the way you want Until long after you're gone I've never flown across the world But I've still watched the sun set from the flight I've tasted the salt the of the ocean And missed you more each passing night

Far from myself, I see The crooked bones that support me My body's weight in thievery And restlessness The blood's stains The blood's lust The gold on your eyes makes your lids heavy But this is what we accept Ignore the elephant in the room The giants and the mammoths that parade their way Through your dreams until you invite them to stay Water, filthy, shivers down your throat Sitting at your feet I see the stains on your shoes And your jacket stretched from the coins in your pocket That reach for the ground in hopes of freedom I tug at your pant leg And untie your laces And tried to be the man you were Until I became the man I am And realized how wrong you were You should have covered your insides So I never had the chance to spill your guts But now the floor is riddled with your intestines And I can follow the trail out the door I don't know if there was a right way to do this But I was Sick, sick, sick of doing it your way. Sick, sick Far from myself, I see The crooked bones that support me My body's weight in thievery And restlessness I never thought I would lose you to my own hang ups But I am not the fool here I never pretended when I told you I loved you I stopped saying it because I did not want to start pretending I'm not the actor here I'm not the poisonous You wore me as a trophy That you won despite yourself But you paraded it so much the plastic began to break away The gold paint began to peel So all that's left is an empty foundation That reads, "World's Best Dad"
