here is some more stuff I found today. check it.
you can read these words...
but i've found a scream is better than a thesis.
so take me for what i'm worth, i dare you.
test me..
take a ride on this lisp that gets dragged behind my words.
dulling the sharpness of my point.
i've experienced the devil first hand.
and the first time he won- no contest.
he told me these are the urges that can't be killed
they are what nature has created, and for the greatest of situations
so don't even bother.
don't stand where i stood... i've been there before...
and i'm telling you, you may not get out...
you look hard, but you can't see the sins in me.
cause me skeletons are hidden far away.
i've since picked up these clothes that are hanging from the bones finding refuge in my closet.
these vertical stripes make these "forgotten" mistakes look slimmer and smaller.
i asked god to help me, he gave me one talent.
to hide what truly is.
without a flaw in my mask
that elegantly masks my past.
and if it fails to impress you can write down the address
invite the truth, wherever it may be...
it'll come, dressed in it's best.
-----------------------------------
the logic is behind the curtain...
but we never pulled it away
we'd rather stay covered, cause the truth will hurt
and we've yet to build our tolerance
what we can take isn't much.
truth would soon enough take over
cause we don't have the stamina
we're running on empty... but looking beat is trendy.
it's what the people kill to see...
---------------------------------
spring makes way for longer days
in a "delay the inevitable" sort of way
but still, the days, they're not long enough
and I'm starting think, they never will be
we are immortal or so we were led to believe
but we've been wounded by reality
as we realize there's no such thing as safety
friendships don't last forever, but we'll dream it anyway
so, "what am I gonna miss?"
because in my mind I could have swore I hated every moment of this
but now I realize, that I'm gonna miss this
more than I'll ever want to admit
-----------------------------
so it comes, and oh so quick
the subtly of it all is what i find amazing...
and this is the cancer we can't get rid of
it's located in the brain and controls our thoughts
we knew this one would come across our paths
it's been far out of the lead for quite sometime
in hopes to trip us up and watch us stumble
and maybe this isnt meant to be forever
but i'll be damned if it goes out anything
less than the best.
and who knows maybe this will last, longer than the both of us
but what will happen if we do trade blows
and go our seperate ways?
there's so much that can be taken, and so much more that cannot
the tides are inconsistent and so are our moods
wash away the good, bring in the bad
but no matter what- the water always settles
and it never felt better.
