Tick, tock...

 

so close to death
will it ever rest?
give it the knife
since I tried my best

i’m empty, why?
turning dead inside
jump off the bridge
to escape this ride

i just want to smile
why can’t you see?
i’m trying to be
but my soul’s empty

i’m trying to live
want to be free
i've tried to forgive
but it’s killing me

La Mer

 

Please, vast sea, will you hold me near?

(It’s swallowing whole.)

I cannot stand another year…

(I’m losing control)

I’m sick living my life in fear

(It’s taking its toll)

I just need an escape from here.

(From killing my soul)

1997 (Pieces)

everything i'd ever need
wheels and sticks with sand and seeds

all that i wanted to be
had she let me keep the pieces

how different would my life lead

wheels and sticks with sand and seeds

all that i could build and see

had she let me keep the pieces

Survival

 

i must use my mind and taste
to survive
i must let my body waste
to survive
i must give my heart away
to survive
i must dredge another day
to survive

i must learn another face
to survive
i must run another race
to survive
i must lose another name
to survive
i must play another game
to survive
