Resolve

No sapphire skies or emerald fields

This cage is for you

Walls of lead, sealed by black

Complete and total silence

As if your lips were sewn together

Pressure

Every thought builds within your head

Like the stanzas of a poem

Bursting within your head, throbbing

Like an anxious heart

Adding more and more weight

Mind numbing, becoming desperate

I present you with a gun

A quick solution to the onslaught of thoughts

Permeant, but worth it

Like some mistakes at the time

Worth it for the moment

Grasp it

So cold, the frame burns your hand

Take time to think

Rubbing bullets between your finger tips

Hard, cool against the tongue

The taste of metal

Resolve

The Destructors

What we have done has brought a sense of equality among us

This is the purest form of art, as disaster

A mind clouded by hate could never orchestrate such organized destruction

Internally gutting the beauty out just to accent the unrecognized glamor of the surrounding area

This my friend is your own personal hell

A crutch, a way to help you feel the way we do

A pair of opened eyes to see the devastation among us

Don't think of this as a grudge brought to light, this is just to add meaning to your name

I'm sorry, for you pay for my own sins

My envy spawned a distorted architectural brilliance within me

We do not hate you, we're just bring you and us eye to eye

Friend, you live among us and like us you will live

My dear Old Misery.

Abashed

Months and months gone by and all I have to show for it is a pair of empty hands

It's embarrassing to look back and realize I did all I could, yet you couldn't meet me a mere 20%

All the obstacles I faced never stopped me from trying to make you happy

Everything I do or did was just to see you happy

It's embarrassing to know how hard it was even in the beginning

Waking up every morning confused about if we were fighting or not

If I had it in me to keep this going

I still tried

It's embarrassing how you have me spill my gut onto paper, because I fear of making you upset

No I don't bow down to you, I just want to be the one to make you smile all the time

I'm embarrassed to not have known when to let go

You're embarrassing to me because I gave it my all, but you're naive enough to believe it'd be enough

For the longest time I've carried this on my back, but it takes two

You never understood that

It takes two

Cleansing

Never will I truly know how it feels to be free

I'm a slave to the thought of you and all these memories

All I ever want now it to never have known your face

Cleanse me, purge my thoughts and mind

Father please, cleanse me

I was fully aware I would burn in hell for my deeds

Anything to stop the pain, I'll never know how it feels to be numb

She still haunts me, her face still haunts me

I knew I'd burn in hell for it

She never left me, she's still with me

I knew I'd burn in hell for it, but I got my closure

Father all I ask is for is this cleansing.

Cleanse me.

Yeah.

I can't stand to think of how far I fell for you

For the longest time I thought you were going to be the one

To think how far I did fall makes me cringe and my stomach drop

Even though this isn't the way I want it to be, I'm all for making you happy

Every second spent talking to you, every moment spent with you I wouldn't change for the world

Even though things shouldn't end like this I can't help but be glad to have shared something with you

I'd tell myself to stop trying so hard, but the chase kept me going

Never have I ever dealt with a girl like you

All of my standards met by one girl, who'd have thought

It's embarrassing to know how far I fell for you

Though I never felt abashed once for it

Dropping this doesn't seem like the right thing or something I'm able to do

But promise if you do ever read this, promise you'll think of me

Promise you'll think of me and everything

For once, giving up has hurt the most.

Furnace for the Masses

Subtle changes over the years become apparent, little thoughts believed to break the mold

Unable to maintain the perfect image to the social eye, my former self succumbs many mind alterations

Adding simple distortions to complex modifications in effort to feel personal perfection

My crimes against skin have made me a public spectacle

Glancing at stunned faces, I feed off their astonishment

Don't dare bite your tongue, critique me for I am the trendsetter

The taste of pride litters my mouth and emits boastful words, bringing envious eyes

My teeth rot as the bitterness burns within my lips

I broke the mold and created a new one

No longer forged by the strive for personal perfection, but selfish endeavor

Incapable of becoming someone else's idea I've fabricated one of my own

I broke the mold just to become it

I am the furnace for the masses.

I am the trendsetter

Pressure, Pressure

When the weight of your world collapses from under your knees

Don't come crawling towards me

You knocked everything from under your feet

I just had the pleasure of watching you fall

It's not what I wanted, but it's what you've always deserved

Oh my how the tables have turned

I put you in the same place before and still prevailed

I'm in the same hole I put you in and I have yet to fail

Don't come crawling towards me

You knocked everything from under your feet

You choose to listen to the wind and not what's concrete

Poor girl faltering under the weight of my eyes

Can you not handle the pressure

If not then this will never do

How have you survived this long, how did I get so far with you

I wasn't aiming at you, so why jump the gun

When this is all over I'll let you know

So calm and confident, hence why I'm in control

Can you not handle the pressure

If not well never work this out

Don't crawl towards me

The weight of your own world brought you to your knees

Collapsing, don't crawl to me

And no I don't make things hard

I'm just watching, laughing
