[trappedinlacuna]

we all sin, so why am i so guilty?

my bones, the pretty reckless

[trappedinlacuna]

burning vinyl but freezing air,

parked with no destination ahead,

drunken games of truth and dare,

it seems, are all i have left,

of days that could’ve lasted forever,

but, like sand, slipped through my fingers,

and i lie here, biting my lip raw,

wondering if we could ever have been more,

[raised-from-the-grave]

Evanescence, “Lithium”

[trappedinlacuna]

just tonight, i won't leave; i'll lie and you'll believe

just tonight, the pretty reckless

[trappedinlacuna]

twist the knife hard; just makes it easier to tell you- i don't need you anymore

yeah right, evanescence

[trappedinlacuna]

i would go all the way to the sun, if i didn't have to come back down

halfway there, soundgarden

[trappedinlacuna]

i don’t deserve the words,

that you’ve spilt to me,

all the calm and the comfort,

that makes it easier to breathe,

ever since you’ve entered,

this empty life of mine,

you’ve grown plants and flowers,

blooming in every line i write,

and i could try to pay it back;

everything you’ve done,

but i really think i lack,

the brightness of the sun,

i could never thank you enough,

for everything you are,

you’ve brought me from the oceans,

to the dancing of a star,

[trappedinlacuna]

they say it’s like being in clouds,

both a beauty and a horror,

that love could take you all around,

leave you wanting more,

but if it takes you so high up,

i’m scared to touch it at all,

it seems to them like the perfect jump,

it’s a height, but such a great fall,

[trappedinlacuna]

why must we fall apart to understand how to fly? i will find a way, even without wings.

The End of a Dream; Evanescence (via trappedinlacuna)

[trappedinlacuna]

oh, there are millions around me,

but i feel so alone,

i can’t help but wonder to the breeze,

is this what a pebble feels,

as it sinks down the ocean like a stone?

[trappedinlacuna]

i know i’ve said it a million times,

that nothing is worse than drowning,

but really i feel like sometimes,

i’d rather die than be drained of feeling,

because nothing is emptier or colder inside,

than the day these thoughts in my head,

finally decide they’re leaving me aside,

with no direction ahead,

[trappedinlacuna]

i always thought i’d have to explain,

within me all this rage,

but after feeling you inflict this pain,

i realised there’s no need to be mature for my age,

some would argue it’s morally right,

or that i should hear you out,

but if they’d felt it, they’d run in fright,

of the things they’ll never find out about,

because i’m tired of trying to justify,

the hate, the pain and the hurt,

i’m done searching myself for a light,

that was never written in your words,

[trappedinlacuna]

you're just too perfect for my hands to hold

innocence, halestorm

[stars-a-n-d-scars]

We’re dancing in the rain,

As the world burns down around us.

It will always come to this.

Defying the abyss.

[stars-a-n-d-scars]

The moon is doomed to light

a world that’s always sleeping.

Shining stolen light on dormant eyes,

sewing but never reaping.

[trappedinlacuna]

i heard your voice painted with lies,

i still hear your voice, wrecking me inside,

~

you’re calling out my name,

but the words are blurred, 

they all sound the same,

~

it’s heavier than the water i’m slowly falling under,

heavier than the sea that threatens to drown me,

and this fire devours my soul,

not long before i lose control,

~

you’re calling out my name,

but i can’t hear you, 

i’m too far away,

i’m no longer here,

no longer held together by this fear,

[wish-upon-a-sapphic-star]
