I Decided to Kiss You

You remind me of something or someone that I've seen

I'm jaded, but I'm not

Like some morbid paradox

I do not want to exist

Drinking and loneliness

I will be at the end of tomorrow

But I would rather not follow through

Each breath between the ever-changing clock

Everything I remind you of

I could never see in your eyes again

Just as I was used to before I lost you, your attention divided my heart like fragments of painted glass

As dusk lights this chapel, I can try it all

But I cant say anything to stop you

So I drink & I sweat

My stubborn heart breaks my neck and poison my head

But whats it all for?

I might've been able to do what I wanted instead I decided to kiss you

[recoveringemo]

Smoking in the rain

I'd be rich or dead, but I can live with either

Im so disinterested in life i cant find the motivation to do anything right

I'm staring at the ceiling counting shadows, they move & dance forming characters I want to be, engulfed in a dark sea moving & dancing

What I want is what I got, I am who I think you think I am, take it or leave me

Its great you found yourself, but you lost me on the way.

Colours run gray & I sleep in everyday.

Though id would rather be outside in the rain, so I can try to feel alive

[recoveringemo]

She was preceded in death by her 

I told myself that I would be

Different than indifferent

And I would softly scream

Take what I've collected & learned

Everything I make will be shared

I won't be buried with nothing

Though Ill hurry to my deathbed

So I can flip the table again

When i lose at Sorry!, I'm a poor sport

Uno! you have to call it, or it doesn't count, play your cards truthfully. Theres a bad stigma associated with failure to do so

Communicate or regress

I need stories to tell the person who's tending my bedside before I die

So be a part of that, wish you were, or hold your breath until it hurts. Its just a personal problem.

その後、我々は育った

You could almost feel it like you did when you were younger When forever was never ending Exuberant static fills the air & warms our chests Looking back at a room filled with family & guests Beyond the past collecting years, what is there to show for but less & less? Lend us your tired ears, we all end up as stories shared by lost friends..

We could climb as high as the heavens & in a moment fall to our thoughts Stored in a box deep inside our hearts Like our favourite things, before we grew up..

My Mind’s Eye Mimes Great Minds

I’m the best liar I know by far

I’m fine & everyone I know is well

“They’re better off without you, or if you’re out of mind.”

No I don’t want to talk to you, “Hello?” I didn’t want to meet you

Every problem that leads to these thoughts was brought on by me

I play memories I could have had but I chose to not to see

Vanilla hemmed skylines halo the highlights of your hair in the stage lights of longing

The silhouette of a smile, the flash of a crooked tooth that left me believing

This leaves my head spinning because theres so much I wont tell anyone

This leaves my heart throbbing because theres so much I could do -

Inhale carbon monoxide, a broken gift my father gave me

Sharpie on the closet that reads “do not enter – call an ambulance first”  

Rot in a cell for arson – burning up a lightrail or park – you know who you are, you’ve failed me by far

The sound of a broken chord in my heart is the only thing that remains

A damp cold empty palace calloused by the passing of frames

How did you expect a promise from me when I couldn’t trust myself?

I should disappear, a hearty journey starts with one step to get away

Dancing in the passing lights with a cigarette in my hand on the freeway

There will be no compromise – my mind’s eye mimes great minds.

[recoveringemo]

Voldemort is my past, present, and future

Was something trying to burrow in my brain? I admit the fruit of your love never ripened in it But you gouged your way into my eyes again Your face is a push pin in frayed pages of sin written based on true events that unraveled within a part of me you hold next to your heart so that I can feel it bleed A saga written by us that only we can read Like a movie prop an actor holds onto The sweater I kept just reminds me of you Like an actress you wept & threatened to Kill yourself the night I stopped holding you I ripped the petals from my heart Reciting this rhyme hoping I'd hear your prayers "Never sure of anything I do Except the fact I might believe you This hurt you, this hurt you not This hurt you, this hurt you not.." Flowers bloom in strange places If one grew in my lungs id suffocate Though I feel like I'm choking From this self medication & loathing I know I'm right I may be wrong

[recoveringemo]

The Pagemaster

I tried to see past the pixelated lines that were once blurred by these tired eyes. Can she see my intent? I regress. The subtext of these words read: "I love & miss you.." When we were young we would hold each other wherever we found solace Sweet summer love to creating a winter heat between us The message in a bottle you cast away to your only hope The picture we took when we found our home I tell myself things could be different this time, but its a lie I told myself things would turn out better last time, that I tried I daydream about going back in time & writing all the songs we danced to myself So I could be the hero & you the muse who helped The lines blur & shake as every thought of you evaporates Tectonics plates collide to the sound of love we never made Space & time transposes white as gravity blends away The memories we made flicker as the chains we thought were fate Dissolve with the turn of a page.

[recoveringemo]

I always know where I am By the way the road looks The sea brings me back to you

[recoveringemo]

Recidivism

I’ve been caught once again  they’re posing these questions that make as little sense to me as why the moon shines without you to stare back

in the spotlight of your eyes I saw your soul wander off & it left you shattered but smiling “i want to believe in heaven so bad right now.” Contact lightly to tickle my spine Shudder politely & drink our wine “Leaving in such a hurry?” Closure is calling “Call me when you get home.” I’m still waiting.. I’ll take my chances Recidivism beckons me

[recoveringemo]

The back of every head looks like hers. Every silhouette cast by stage lights nodding on the walls

I found love on the freeway & i couldn't look back Because my heart was meant to be held, not had & If you trust me enough I'll let you down easy I'm falling fast past this hands out into the breeze Please don't stress I'll hold you tonight So you can feel small in my arms Our problems dissolve & bid us farewell Before the cycle rewinds I will go Before the ground falls before us Into the waking sun Where the heat splits our atoms & we become undone Like all who found before us Staring into the sun Made them blind to this All in all & all in all I took ache From your heartbreak The colours ran together In the watercolour of your tears They bled & burned a hole into my eyes What could be more powerful Than someone you thought you loved's Last goodbye?

[recoveringemo]

I would rather shape my soul than furnish it I'm tired of waking up and worrying if someone else is talking about me  and all the things that I've done wrong I know that I'm worth more than how they see me 

"...if you're frightened of dying and... you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the earth."

Penfold - Amateur Standing (cites Meister Eckhart, voice sample from Jacob's Ladder film)

"Ever If You Leave."

If I could start over again I’d do it myself Take the laces from my shoes & the trophies off my shelf Born in a hole with a rose tinted glass roof No matter how high I climb I’ll never bust through

Its unfair to me but what is fair to those who are unable to see The marred crags green under a green ceiling

I turned as pale as the light that faded From my eyes

I saw the moon frown & fall with all My hopes & dreams

Wringing out the cloth in your hands Reading from a book that said “Obstacles which you have are meant Not to be overbearing but to give Greatness to those most deserving

So take not what you have done in sin Tomorrow you’ll feel better off Only you know where your heart belongs Placing love in those deserving enough

Means they have a place in your heart Ever if you leave, you’ll tear them all apart.”

The Hotelier- Your Deep Rest

i don’t care WHO thinks i’m crazy, the lyrics to this song are SO donking cool. (the “stop, rewind” part is my alarm clock)

Oh it’s a shame that I have to tape over

Those Elysian smiles I thought I’d keep forever. 

I remember it all like it was yesterday… 

FORGET IT ALL! Set it down! HIT RECORD! 

And back away… My intestines are fastening laces, 

Intolerable to fucking untangle. 

These vigilant eyes can’t keep off the timekeepers. 

Second hand every angle.

What’s keeping you waiting? 

Usually out before I open my eyes. 

Why did you pick today? 

To epilate between your thighs…

Are you waiting for his tongue to come?

And brush against your cleaned trimmed hair? 

I hope he knows, that curvilinear gyrating space, 

Won’t be the only thing he’ll taste down there. 

STOP TO THINK ABOUT IT! 

If we’ve both flooded the same skin… 

You’ve tasted me, 

I’ve tasted you,

Who knows how many places, 

My tongue has been? 

My tongue has been…

I left, you stayed, I hoped and prayed. 

That these nauseating thoughts weren’t true.

Before we met, I wouldn’t bet, 

I would give up nihilism for you! 

Nothing ever made sense, 

Was i even real? 

Took everything wouldn’t touch, 

And made me feel (HELL YEAH!) 

I had all my faith in you, 

That you would never commit and act of deceit, 

To wake up in the ante meridian

Knowing there would be solid ground to support my feet.

If it is alright (if it is alright) to conceal the truth, 

Then when does the concealment end, and lying begin? 

Tell me when? Tell me when? This is a maudlin motion picture.

A theme song in search of a movie,

I’ve got the perfect script to match this tune. 

Who really knows what goes on in the afternoon? 

Lets not ruin the surprise.

I don’t buy these incredulous denials, 

DO YOU THINK YOU’VE FOUND THE EXIT, 

To your escape? I really shouldn’t be thinking this way, 

It would put my mind at ease, 

If I caught your ass on tape. 

They’ll be no excuses baby. 

I’ll forward this to your friends and family.

Maybe I should reconsider this diagnosis,

Lets think things out before we conclude.

Commonly a virtuoso at these procedures,

But this was the saddest thing my eyes have ever viewed.

The postmeridian hours that we performed,

Seemed like such a perfunctory routine,

But I can obviously tell by the footage here,

That you’re in love with this machine!

How could you do this to me? 

Next time you won’t get out so easily. 

Now that I know what I’m up against; 

I came prepared. 

Bat in hand behind the closest door I painfully stared.

Say “hello” to this bark, in-between your teeth. 

Soon you will also be bleeding from underneath. 

It took balls to do what you’ve done. 

Having your manhood in your mouth is no fun. 

And as for you darling, you’re going no where, 

It’s kind of hard to move when you’re tied to a chair.

See there’s a twist to this lovely, 

For you too see. 

What’s hiding in your wardrobe 

Isn’t a shopping spree.

(whistle, whistle) Comes out to stilts supporting the wait of lust, 

I always thought you were someone I could always trust.

Now watch this wet smacking flesh,

I’m sure you don’t even care. 

But with your eyelids sown back to your brows. 

This leaves you forced to stare.

With a wire wrapped around his neck,

Tightly tied to a tree, 

There he stood on the top of the cliff, 

With his inanimate life, above the sea. 

He drinks his virulent drink.

And sets himself on fire.

Pulls the trigger though the midair; 

Misses his head and snaps the wire. 

Now choking and strangling in the water, 

His body begins to sink. 

Not only did that put out the flames.

But he regurgitated his drink. 

This wasn’t the worse thing that could happen…yes it is.

We’re dying slowly again…

we’re dying slowly again?

STOP, REWIND, WATCH THEM DIE.

(Oh don’t you love to play it back, and watch it all over?)
