Another day, what have we become? An empty room to see the light before the sun, And I just need to see the names, This list goes on and on, With everyday, I find nothing completes me, I decay, life got in the way. Not dead, we’re not dead yet. Your heartless, I’m lovesick, I’m avoiding it all on purpose, I don’t want the confrontation, or conversations. Your heartless, I’m lovesick, I’m avoiding it all on purpose, I can only praise your ambition, I just hope reality sinks in. I don’t want, another guilt trip. Brightest lights shine in the darkest corners, Still I see, trying to find my way. Not dead, we’re not dead yet. Your heartless, I’m lovesick, I’m avoiding it all on purpose, I don’t want the confrontation or conversations. Your heartless, I’m lovesick, I’m avoiding it all on purpose, I can only praise your ambition, I just hope reality sinks in. I don’t want, another guilt trip. Times are changing and it shows, We’re not broken, we’re just cold.

Spinning, I'm spinning out of breath My lungs are too small My windpipe is an inch too narrow My mind's a nest I am lost, paralyzed, or both There's a lump in my throat Like when you've cried for hours But I'm not crying I wish I was My body is weak Just a crooked figure I wish you were here Just to hold me Almost as much as I wish you never saw me this way I've been down this road before I know how the story goes It's too bright and my eyes are hurting I am shaking and I can't work this out This is what I live with What I have to power through I am broken, without reason It's just how I am

A new day, once again Staring into the lifeless lens A formal face Speaks the blights of the world (The sirens start wailing) Fear leads and it sells (Their lights flicker brightly) Scrambling for another morsel (The road ahead closing) Watch as the vultures circle (Armed men soon imposing) Ready to strike, as privacy dies. (The sirens start wailing) A new life of cajoling (Their lights flicker brightly) And their words for controlling (The road ahead closing) Watch as the vultures circle (Armed men soon imposing) Ready to strike, as privacy dies. Take your tips from the hype men Parsing truth from artful script Money dictates every sentence Nourish cravings for idle gossip Through the web words get spread like a plague Sprawling mess to decipher The lights and sirens Signal this road’s closure In a world that we’re learning Mankind’s hope bears little fruit The facts are depressing The calling is dying

Stare directly at the sun without caution, Burn out your useless retinas, Sight won't save you from the poison in your mind, Rot with me. Obsessed with standing out, Obsessed with shining through, Narcissism: everything touched turns hollow. I'm tired of feeling so tired. I'm tired. Laugh with me, soothe my peeling skin. Rot with me, I'm giving in.

A rope around my heart, emptiness in your eyes, emptiness in your glance. Lonely and abandoned. Lonely, but never alone. Always followed by a whisper, always followed by darkness. I want to get away from this world. But the only escape is death.

I don’t understand the word humanity What is its meaning if we can’t look each other in the eye? I feel destined to become more jaded over time Corrupted outlook Ever growing population Crowd thickens as empathy burns away Emotions nonexistent, happiness just a memory What’s become of us? Disconnected Disconnected I feel severed Hatred will kill us all Fire against fire just greatens the divide You’re supposed to be my reflection But I don’t see myself in you Trying to change the world with your eyes closed You try to speak but all I hear is hatred Ignorance We were born with a hole in our heart We evolved into this machine Superior intelligence, zero remorse How can we call ourselves human? I’ve never felt so empty stood in the midst of this great divide

The world outside is none of my concern – a bleakness I don’t want to know. Years spent in search of certainty found only in the assurance of men. No doubts is what these men had, and if they did, they kept it to themselves; instead of spreading uncertainty around, left to wondering who or what they were, close to an answer.
9.
False arrest Carwash of cigarettes and bourbon stench False friends revoltingly … alarmingly undressed Slippery, stained fingers, slip-slide and clench Happy hour? Happy hour?! Unhappy disaster Scratching grooves into flesh, to what end? Unloved one’s love bodies in plaster You’re shuddering? Take my scarf Ungrateful. Go home, you’re drunk Or another? Fuck, why not? We’re fucking dripping, and we’ve got what we’ve got The shower No story It’s fucking cold In the shower Limp spaghetti Jeans over handrail Creaking floor ITV4 Sucking on dead dry dirt Sand teeth tectonic cracks Deep stitched in tongue Stillborn helix neck to spine Limp wrist, waist of a stranger Coughing of the neighbour Underwear, everywhere Underwear, everywhere Hairbands, tins with ash Shaft of light, lids collapse Hairbands, tins with ash Shaft of light, lids collapse Where is the shower? Where is the shower?

save our souls disconnect my broken neck in retrospect we have it hurts just to be here my mind and the room the intricate working, a body of two my work isn't over, i'm yet to consume i breathe in the power, exhale the doom disconnect i'm pulling away did you see the bending? the eyes rolled white the arms contoured abhor me forever, a heart set to murder i boldly envision the ending it shouldn't have happened i shouldn't be here
12.
When you leave, please take this guilt from me I fear being too weak to endure Blind to life beyond Without a confidant there's only ruins Here comes a repeat of youth Signalled with each fracture in the world crafted around me - A lonely Isle, isolated. Burden of limitation forgotten, Heading towards the ocean. A deluge washing over, each wave thrashing Once at the crest the decline will follow. Maybe a wave will bring me gently back to shore.
