Captain Kidd

I often dream about drowning at sea
Where the waves are the only ones to love and to hold me
Throw the anchor and save yourself
This bastard captain’s running this ship into the dark
Let the waves crash, let the seas rises
Let the salt burn and permanently close my eyes
I do not fear death
No, I long for that dark abyss
I’ll stick to suicide so the blood stays off your hands
No love for this man
My grave is not on dry land
I can feel myself shutting down again
I fucking welcome it
I never wanted to feel shit
I did not ask for this
I’m sick of where I’ve been
She was just an outline
No more than a blank face
Love is just a lie, don’t you know?
Every living thing that walks this fucking earth will die alone
I am my own morbid state of mind
This bastard captain’s running this ship down into the brine
I often dream about drowning at sea
Where the waves are the only ones to love and to hold me

Retreat

I will retreat
This place is unfamiliar
It is no longer home
It is only a ghost
Of the love that I have known
Where we once saw the sun, we only see shadow
And where we felt the warmth, we only feel the cold
They say that love protects, but it’s left me for dead
They say it hopes, but it’s trapped me in my fucking head
Is there any hope left for us?
I can’t see the light in your eyes
Is there any hope left for us,
Or is this where I belong?
Don’t sell me your hope, I don’t need it
Hope won’t give me a fucking plan to fix this
Instead of sell myself to hope
I will turn off my ability to love
Is there any hope left for us?
I can’t see the light in your eyes
Is there any hope left for us,
Or is this where I belong?
I will become as the stone
I am as a stone, bury your dead beneath me.
I am a stone, bury your dead beneath me.

I know
I didn’t cry when you died
Save one single tear
Then I pushed it aside
But just know
Not a day goes by
I don’t miss coming home
And hearing your voice say, “Hey Sky
How was school today?
And are you doing okay?
I know it’s cold out right now,
But summer will be back someday”
I put my keys in your casket
And then I covered and masked it
The hole that I felt
Mixed with the peace that you weren’t hurt anymore
And I know
You see everything from the sky
And I know it kills you inside
To see me wake up
Go through the motions
And audibly wish to die
I know that Mom’s gonna hear this
But can you tell her ‘don’t fear this?’
Because despite what I’m saying
I’ll be fine and I am trying to mean it
I put my keys in your casket
And then I covered and masked it
The hole that I felt
Mixed with the peace that you weren’t hurt anymore
I put my keys in your casket
And then I covered and masked it
And now I hope that you know
You’re always welcome at home
I know this song is too loud
But I am hell bent on making you proud

Lucy

There is nothing left for me to give to anyone
Empty out my mind like your fucking dresser drawer
Nothing beautiful grows here anymore
I let the devil in
I put her face to his name
And they were one and the same
Then I became like her
Broken and scared, I let no one in
I will break you bone for bone
Shatter every piece of promise
And sabotage the angel that I see in you
You’ve ruined me
Because of you, I am worthless
I am no one
I am diabolical
I am a cancer
You will only die with me.
Die.

The Deserter

Suffocate
On the air in front of me
At home but abandoned and I can’t sleep
Save your breath
Deny me my family
The savior they’ve shown me
Has left me here alone
You are not a man of God
You are not holy
I have seen who you are
Now pardon me for calling you out
I am a black sheep blacker than night
I am wildly misled for staying in my own head
Destined for Hell for carving my own path
I am your antichrist
You are not a man of God
You are not holy
I have seen who you are
Now pardon me for calling you out
Cover my eyes so I can’t see
Your cross-shaped smile hiding bent teeth
We’re not on the same page
There is no love
No peace of mind
Pray that we live while I pray to die
This Alcatraz-like institution;
Parasitic walls,
Omnipresent clouded judgement,
Falsified love.
I will not bow before your god for he
Has ruined my faith
I will destroy your precious mirror
Watch his image die
Cover my eyes so I can’t see
Your cross-shaped smile hiding bent teeth
We’re not on the same page
There is no love
No peace of mind
Pray that we live while I pray to die
Where is the thought that said I’ll worship at his throne,
Or walk with his people?
If this, your heaven, is a dream
Then I’ll sleep with my nightmares
If Heaven is a dream, then I’ll sleep with my nightmares.
