We own the night

The silent killers
Serenading the next generation with cigarettes
The wishing
Of only having to wear ties and dress shirts when dressing up at 7
The yearning
To go back and remember your first kiss
The feeling
Of bass on the radio as we go down the road
To anywhere
And yes, we own the night
We’re going to break some laws and break some hearts
And you only try to stop us
Because you wish you were us
We are the walking living
In a world of zombies
We are the last stand before the final fall
We are a joyride away from suicide
And a heart attack away from Harvard
We own the tomorrow
We own today
We own the night

Another Letter To my Wife to be

I confess
I love it when your hair’s a mess
So meet me at the altar in that dress
And I admit
I’m addicted to failed relationships
But at least I can commit
Can you handle it?
Seeing me fly off the handle
And enjoy every second of it?
Will you laugh?
When I fall into the bottomless pit
That reads “It’s Worthwhile, I promise”
Will you cry?
When I’m curled up in a ball
Somewhere in a train station
Will you laugh?
When you find out I’m writing my wedding vowels at 14?
Will you raise an eyebrow?
When you find out I’ve lost myself I your self discovering?
Will you squirm?
When we make that eternal blood oath?
Will you be the last?
To feel my touch
And call me darling?
I confess
I love everything that makes us humans imperfect

Ode to Ms. Mento

I'm drowning in a puddle
I'm breathing in a bubble
My brain is laced my happy thoughts
And my mind’s riddled with little white lies
My blood is flavored bubble gum
To those in favor of homicide
And leaving no trace, of what I taste…
Like
My brain is feeling blistered
From the time I took to listen
To every single word you’d say
It took up all of yesterday
But I appreciate the calluses
Even if it’s from malice
I learned to disregard all the damage
And embrace it as another stitch
In my head
My face is feeling frosted
My eyes feel a bit rotted
A wasted all my sight on fright
And fear of what the next day holds
My arms are feeling fine….
But my hands flutter like butterflies
Every time I write about that one time.
Sigh
I’m a fair-weather fan of finding forever
So that means I’m fucked for an eternity
And I’m a bleeding heart that’s not even scared
So it means I shouldn’t yearn to be…
The depressed kid who never did
Seem to get anywhere
But a spiral in the worlds eclipse
Who never seemed to get his lips
Kissed
So I’m breathing in a bubble
But I see no trouble
In living off incubation
And I’ll never say I’m drowning
Because it’s sounding like I’m in a shallow hallucination
Patience

Freestyle

Accept the fate
Come to the cruel realization that you're
Dying every day
Swallow your pride
Just to realize theres been a timebomb inside of you
This whole time
Lose control
And then feel like you have a grip on everybodies throats
Dedicate to giving up
Dedicate to giving up

Humanity & Hallucination

All you meant was the world to me
Cause’ I saw it in your eyes
The human races fate
In the most comfortable place
And sure I trust you
But do you trust yourself?
You’re either the Entity of heaven
Or the Masquerade of hell

So tell me is this life a lie?
Is humanity a cruel hallucination?
If so, then what was the motivation?
For putting beauty to a paper town
Filled with people covered in scratched-out faces?
So many pointless words and useless places

So let’s go forget
Forget that love even exists
And let’s see if out impulses remember it.
The way it was supposed to be.
So our mistakes are erased
And our flaws is forgotten
Then what do we have after that
But a new set of problems?

And this shit makes no sense
Sorry I tend to ramble about nothing
But I can feel a storm of spite coming
Hurricane heart attack
How will the world react?
With lifeless tears or Heartless cheers?
It doesn’t matter after all these years
I saw it coming, anticipating the anxiety
But after 40 different facades and 5 different faces
90 different lives and 2 different races
This is me; you can take it or leave it
Purity
Is all I have and that’s the way that I see
it

And Your Reflection Still Exists

And your reflection still exists
In it’s perfection I remember it
As clear as the day
That you told me to get away
But no, I seemed to follow
And my head feels a little hollow
What’s this pill called?
No, the one I have to swallow

I think it’s called love

But I never asked for it, it just kinda fell into my lap
And it’s funny how I get drunk on all your mishaps…
And wake up with a hangover, just promising this time I’ll be sober
(I always had a problem with keeping promises
But with you it’s to the grave)


And you’re reflection still exists
In my eyes
But you were never there
No surprise
But your shadow seems to follow me
Boundlessly
Until the darkening of he skies
The deficiency, it’s killing me

(Music stops)
And the catoptrics say I’m insane
And all the poets think I’m mundane
But I’ll never think I’ll refrain
From letting you somewhere inside my brain

And I still remember your endearing laughs
And I still remember how pretty you were when you cried
And all your notes were just rough drafts…
For the final time you’d say goodbye
Now all I have nostalgia, so I’ll muse about how much I loved you)

And you’re reflection still exists
In my eyes
But you were never there
No surprise
But your shadow seems to follow me
Boundlessly
Until the darkening of he skies
The deficiency, it’s killing me

And I’ll beat myself up
Because there’s no one to strike
And I’ll scream at myself
Because you’re not here to fight
The simplicity of it all is…
That I am just another one of the fallen
Who overdosed on love’s medication
Clutched on my dedication
And now can’t stand to be
In amity
Baby, this time you really damaged me

What made the Cityhigh Art Gallery

At The Twilight

At the Twilight
I can see us holding hands…
Or holding hand grenades

At the Twilight
I can see us kissing
Or killing each other

At the Twilight
I can see puppy love
Or pit bull bites

So do I go for sunrise or eclipse?

At sunrise
I can see everything so bright
But I can’t see when there’s fading of the light
At eclipse
I can see every thing with clarity
But it seems to cause disparity
And shots in the dark

Fighting in eclipse
Denying false sunlight
So with you…
I’ll always remain
At the Twilight.
