How much sorrow can be fit into a heart?
How much emptiness does it take to fill up a home until theres
no space left but out?
Bubbling Under doors and creeping through yellowed panelling,
I dug into my wall,
like I dug into my arm,
like I dug into my smile
and I found tattoo needles and old coins.
I'm not the only one that tried stabbing my way through all this plaster and guilt,
only to find winter and sea salt on the other side.
You can't buy your way out.
Only buy more time.
Until a sense of hopelessness moves in
and your left with salt water and asbestos covering your face.
This is an empty house.
No one lives here.
How could you call this living?
And I'll sit here,
in my stained glass window,
like a gender jack'o'lantern
and wait for you to come home
and light my candle.

Fuck off
Leave now
Get out of my head
I can't recall what you said
I can't recall my face unless I'm looking in mirror
So detached from the world you and I both inhabit
Hair and teeth pulled I can't even breathe
Pull my hair like you pull my fucking strings
Rip me apart
And
Leave me be
Peel my face off and give it to another
(Lovers will turn into dust in my arms.
Their names will ring hollow inside of my jaw)
Lets call it a dream though I wasn't asleep.
Its just easier to say then I've lost reality.
Did the words scar your throat as they left your lungs.
Because they left me in tatters, completely undone.
Now I'm stuck in this quick sand as my adolescence withers
as I push you away because I'm not a giver.
I take and I take because it's all that I know
and some nights I am worried that I've lost control.
When I can't recall who I've become.
When I can't remember the way back home.
When I find it harder to move on.
When i just want to be left alone..
(Next part was written by pageninetynine on the song, In Love With an Apparition)
She dies in his arms.
Now their love's
a floating ghost
as she turns into ashes
and the wind sends her crumbling.
Into the setting sun, her love was a
vampire.

I can't see the moon through the clouds.
The city smog keeps making my head stay down
and I
don't know what to say
when I'm sitting in your room because
I've always felt like the world was ending soon
and there won't be enough time
for me
to tell you how I feel
but please keep being patient with me
I know I get so pessimistic but I'm starting to believe
that I'm not a fortune teller
and I have
no idea how this ends.
and I just hope this nite
never ends.
I remember seeing you
drive off in the rain
while I was cold and wet and tired
riding westbound on a train
and I really, really hated it when we had to say goodbye
my heart was sinking
my voice was shaking
and I tried hard not to cry
but I had to leave before I did
for reasons
I just can't find
but please keep in contact with me
this world is so
overwhelming
with you voice
it's less scary
with the lovely words you say
my heart soon will mend
and I just hope that this rain ends
I just hope that I see you again.
