the ghost in my window - the aftermath

Image
  I boarded the freight train with nothing to lose My compass and I we know where to hide clues Silence's like pirates they shine Like diamonds in the ocean blues Star gazing through all the holes in the roof  Luck only comes unto you if you lose Crystals in bathtubs, in hair and in shoes Oddity is the only path you'd choose I soared like a falcon across the red sky  Picked every petal apart, he thought I  Died on the side of a road no one goes by Left alone even in the afterlife Farther and farther I swim like I'm trying To find the edge of the world but my old spine Is bejeweled in the rhinestones of my Favorite crimes I felt a flame of feeling but the wind blew the fuse Bereft of a cleansing I dived into the pool  Full clothed, hair up, sanctimoniously true Living on a prayer is of no use The ghost in my window looks a lot like me Pale as the sands of the beach, Normandy Forgive my soul mate she doesn't know that I'm here  And I'm only left with the spir...

sapphire sun - the pandemonium

Image
My sapphire sun Crushed under my thumb Once set fire to my bones Found the edge in my dome My only one Person is gone Like the ruins they fade But like whispers they stay Watched your train leave forever from my station Afraid to leave I stood in the pouring rain and frozen I dream up versions of you I wouldn't be sad to lose And I understand why you'd run from me, t here's nothing I'd give you for free We were building forts Out of afterthoughts Blankets, torn And eventually worn out These walls soon cruel  Reminders of you Casket-less yet Hollow, broken and bruised I survived the poison poured into my innocence Remained fragile and broken under healed skin I dream up versions of you I wouldn't be sad to lose And I understand why you'd run from me, t here's nothing I'd give you for free Perplexed fun  Stranger to love Indigo rust  Lost control at the helm My kingdom gone All wallflower plots  Silence and purpose Suffocate me long I'm buried face dow...

a half eclipse of the sensible mind - the pandemonium

Image
  Someone found out you weren't bulletproof Found holes in the shelter you made of your roof Its such a pity that the older I get, it begins to be funny Waiting was as heartbreaking as I imagined it would be I made up my mind too soon And bit down on the dagger My blood gushing with Every scream of terror It doesn't make sense  And neither do I  Its a half eclipse  Of the sensible mind Crashed Mustangs  Mark the end of a life It doesn't make sense  And neither does this It was heartache electric charged with a horoscope Living in a forever will they won't they loop They stole the keys to my fortress and changed all my curtains Left me wondering if my nightmares managed to surface I made up my mind too soon And bit down on the dagger My blood gushing with Every scream of terror It doesn't make sense  And neither do I  Its a half eclipse  Of the sensible mind Crashed Mustangs  Mark the end of a life It doesn't make sense  And neither ...

the asylum - the pandemonium

Image
  The good messenger runs away when he can He gets paid what he gets and swallows his curiosity Like an albatross bringing with it counterfeit luck I stay in the shadows, burn all my hackles and prove my insanity I dress in all white, perjure my pride Of the story meant to dispel the theory That being sad is all it takes  And time can heal but I won't make that mistake All you need is a taste of injury  And the asylum knows where you're meant to be It's no wonder those bullets passed through clean A wounded soldier won't ever for forever feel a thing Farther I drift I claim I am insane But once upon a time I was as tame as a candle Flames grew darker, I grew bolder  But only behind these three walls that stole my wonder Weary souls look like daisies in the winter Summer breeze pours like hail, piercing and withered I take measures for the storm meant to tear my house down But prophecies are enough proof of witchery in this town I'm the demon in the tower closest to ...
