Underneath the Insane Asylum...

Shove the hurt deep inside and replace it with rage

No one can hurt you when your heart's in a cage

[ne0n-gravestones]

Pull yourself up, kid

Pour it over your own head

Feel it take over

Feel it sit in your gut like lead.

Toughen up, kid

Shove it down in your chest.

No one want to feel it

No one wants to see it sitting on your sleeve.

Get over it, kid

Keep trudging through

Let it weigh you down until you're nothing and no one, gone and no more

[ne0n-gravestones]

I can't help but wonder if no one knew how bad I was struggling or if no one cared.

Split

Trudging along with my hurt in my hands,

I drag my feet through the graveled lands.

My palms are both singed from the heat of my pain,

Now the flames of the past are nothing but stains.

There is thick skin on my heart from the burns I've endured,

And staggering emptiness is all I've secured.

The nights are so long and deafeningly quiet,

I will never recover; I won't ever deny it.

Someone like me has felt it all,

I've lived through the chaos and cried through the fall.

This is the side of me I'll never let out

This is mine, only mine, without a doubt.

.

.

.

Then

the flames reignite.

My heart is on fire,

My mind is on fire,

My world is on fire.

The rage is hot and untame

Pain joins with agonizing flame

Lashing out with my pernicious tongue and razored teeth,

I slice through their throats; no blade to unsheath.

Now the void in my chest is nothing but firestorm

The ash and the smoke and the vicious heat swarm.

I am only fury and wrath and decimated scorched lands,

My anger is hurt that's overflowed my singed hands.

My burns scar back over when the flames finally die

My world's left in shambles and my heart's run awry.

[ne0n-gravestones]

For years and years

Night after night

I've met with the darkness

And it's threatened my life

But the dark is familiar

The empty feeling is right

It's all I've ever known

And it will claim

My

Life

Promise me this

if I lose to myself

you won't mourn a day

and you'll move on to someone else

CLANCY'S STORY x "A CAR, A TORCH, A DEATH"

"i knew my skin that wrapped my frame wasn't made to play this game and then i saw him, torch in hand he laid it out, what he had planned and then i said, "i'll take the grave please, just send them all my way"
