Hello Toska

I’m in an open wheat field
Inside of my closed mind
The sun slowly slips down
Waking the dragon from the mountainside
Oh I’m so scared
Hello Toska
You can see it through my shirt holes
Damage from self hating lies
I hope you don’t think I’m evil
Because I can run cold and dry
But at least I try
Hello Toska
Tonight I’ll walk up
The spiral staircase
Don’t expect me to come back
Oh I never walk up
After I see the dragon fly
Away from the coastline
Goodbye Toska

For you, I will not think twice
I’ll kill in the name of a profit
And die for what you advise
Oh I will wither like a rose
Shape and form change I can afford
Starve myself to be adored
Shape and form change isn’t ignored
Hurt myself for a prettier death
I can’t ever
Keep this up I know
It’s unsustainable
I’ll run into the fire
Shape and form change I can afford
Starve myself to be adored
Shape and form change isn’t ignored
Hurt myself for a prettier death
I want a pretty death
I want to be pretty
I want to die pretty
Please call me pretty

Palisade 3

|

|
Palisade walks in night shade
Oh how he holds me tight
Palisade loves the evergreens
There are tears falling from his eyes
I wanted to say I trust you
But I knew that I would cry
In thin whispery words I want to scream
I’ve got fragility
I was taught to keep from me
I wanted to say I trust you
But I knew that I would cry

Running my hands
Through your hair
You played with mine
Hands on my shoulders
With a different kind of stare
Oh I thought I’de die
In the halls of the strangest moments
There’s something that I leave behind
I think I left
I think I left my body
Down there
Down there somewhere

The Nothing I Remember
02:26
|
|||
|
Piecing together the nothing I remember
From when I was a kid
I knew nothing then
Or what it all meant
All that time converted into ashes
Falling from my hands
Descending through the gaps
Try to keep it there
So much space with memories missing in my head
What’d they do to me
What things did I see
What things did I feel
My imagination horrifies me
When I strain
To remember it all now
To figure it all out
To get it written down
I have a reoccurring nightmare some nights
And I wake up scared and crying and I walk on the roof
And I wanna jump off but I know that’s dumb
So I sit and stare at (stay and wait for)
The blurry stars (the morning sun)
I wanna to run I wanna get off this horse
I wanna feel a burn in my legs like they tore
I think they don’t know
But I think that I’ll try
I don’t know why
Yeah I don’t know why

I smiled
He smiled too but I saw something that sat motionless behind his eyes
Trying to be unseen
It peeked out of his pupils into mine
The black spots in his eyes expanded
And they swallowed his face with the space around us
They drew me deeper and deeper into the emptiness
Deeper and Deeper until I surrendered to it
Lingering in the black void
I knew that I was right there with it
It was no longer hiding from me
I began to shed tears I didn’t know existed in me
I thought there must have been something else putting these tears on my face
But when I looked up I saw no rain

I've got a feeling
It's never-ending
It swims all around me
It fills up inside me
I cough it out with my blood
I bleed it out my cuts
Chew it up till I’m done
Spit it out in the mud
I'm so embarrassed
To be in this body
To look the way I do
And act like I want to
I know that it is wrong
Why do I believe it
You all laugh it off
It kills me a little every time
I've got resentment
I've a lot of grief
I've got some anger
I am crying bleach
I cough it out with my blood
I bleed it out my cuts
Drink it down till I’m numb
Let it choose how I love
I Walk out on the ice
As I scratch it out of my eyes
Drink the rain as it flies by
Look up at the blurry night sky

Oh Maria will you hear me
Over your ivy covered wall
Oh Maria please don’t kill me
I’ll keep trying giving it my all
You make me laugh and cry
Don’t want to die
I wanted to hurt myself
I can’t tell whats happening in my head
Theres always something new I don’t understand
Maybe I should get some help
Oh it just can’t be helped
Oh it just can’t be helped
