Union Jack-
Your eyes of salt
Your arms of wounds
Darkness spreads across the broken glass
No more empty promises
But the snow keeps falling on your skin.

Lust-
The snow is cold on my skin
My tears are warm on my hands
Thin wrists and thin faces in the night
I've nowhere to scream and surrender
My heartache breaks and finds you
And captures the lust in your eyes.

Sorted Inside-
Nights divide us
Lights entwine us
Sharing smiles and scribbles upon paper
Save me until tomorrow
I'm not afraid of you.

Lounge-
Happy days and yesterdays
Give me light and let me cry
Empty my eyes and watch me find my shadow
Feathers falling nowhere
I am red inside
I am dead inside
My bones feel cold and unwanted.

Bedroom-
Lovestruck and heartwrenched
Divine in your mind
Black and blue skin
Wallowing within
Confetti in my eyes
Celebrate
Misery, I'm the life of the party.

Honey-
Fields of sugar
Sparkles on your eyelashes
Bathe your porcelain in tears
And I'll defend you
Tell yourself you're sad.

Kiss Upon Mirror-
Open your eyes
See the white in your face
Break your bones
And say good bye
Brace yourself
And wither.

Bath-
Painless revenge in the palm of your hand
But your words have melted
And your scars have faded
Your skin is waiting
The knife will find itself
You were buried in the floor
And I forgot you.

Illusion Dies-
Invisibility scars my lips
The world has disappeared
And you wrote me silence
Throw away your wounded body
And lie upon the surface.

No-
Hold your hands
Cry tonight
Break her and feed her silence
Kiss her empty body
And leave her in the snow.

Requiem-
She was desperate
She was sad
She was quiet and surrounded
I watched her crumble
I forgot to catch her.

Winter Fire-
I held my breath
And scribbled riddles on your picture.
My eyes were filled with glass,
Ice grew from my skin,
Fairies sang songs on my ruby lips,
And honey dripped from your words.
Windows were peered through,
And rooms were kept secret,
With icicle spiders and mint puppets,
That children would play with.
My dreams were kept solid,
And forgiven by you.

I Smell Like Summer-
She spoke of virgins on the table
Cities filled with air
Acid on the sidewalk
And smoke eyes filled with lust.

Musical Chairs-
Lying up
Stars in her eyes
Lies on her tongue
Holes in her arm
Tears in her bed
Love has broken her.

Smile-
Sadness fades into your skin
Spinning neon colors past your face
Smile one more time.
Pierce your sight with harm
Press the black and blue unto your eyes
Pain is your safe haven.
Starve your soul
Stretch your skin
Suicide is temporary.

Dry-
Pulling hair
Crying through those bloodshot eyes
Photo booths and bathroom mirrors
Black and broken
Left to die.

Bleeding Heart-
Part your lips, and not because he tells you to.
Show your bones, and only you can touch them.
Scratch your face, and wear another alias.
Lie on broken tiles, and take yourself away.

Sand Castles-
Dirty fingernails
Melting pavement...
He kissed you and he buried you
He left you crying in the cold
He placed bruises on your neck
And his hands were cold.

Lost In Space-
Courage is a desperate way of crying
Tie dye eyes
And broken fingernails
Show me, break me anyway.

Prologue Nor Epilogue-
And they are waiting for you,
Cry,
Don't look back upon your words.
I am cutting through everything,
Bone through my skin,
Flesh turning thin,
Old eyes locked.

Ballet-
The angels pulled tears from my eyes
In the dark, in the night
My skin was wet and torn
Blood pierced my scars
Your kiss shattered my lips
And fairies shut my eyes.
