...Like Rose Coloured Glass

Lacerate

2011-12-23T23:29:00.000+11:00

You cut so quick

I bleed so deep

Your fire, your ice, your sharp mystique.

You cut me quick

My breath so sharp

We've never been so far apart...

Wrecked

2011-12-23T00:12:00.003+11:00

I'm stuck in the dream I had at eighteen,

I never knew you would be so mean.

Or maybe it's me,

So lost at sea,

But why would you want to drown with me?

Screams

2011-12-21T17:03:00.004+11:00

But do I really wish that I could build a time machine?

And go back to when you were falling for me,

Instead of falling away.

...Cos as crazy it seems, baby, we both had dreams

And now were tearing, at the seams.

Brown Eyes

2011-12-06T20:52:00.004+11:00

Stressed,

Depressed,

But very well dressed.

I get nervous round you

(I've often professed).

Sinned

2011-11-29T19:05:00.006+11:00

And we're running babe from heaven to hell

Escaping it all, escaping our cell.

The rush only takes a fraction of time

Cursed we may be but baby you're mine...

Spilling

2011-11-22T20:54:00.002+11:00

And through our lips, you will suck my evil soul

And downward spiralling we will fall, far to end it all.

You can never understand how hard it is to love you every day

For the sizeable pain through my shrunken frame, for the strength I pray...

Dissection

2011-11-06T21:13:00.003+11:00

Ugly, tattooed and battered blue

She's lonely, she's bony and craving you.

She's reckless, she's lost, she slowly unwinds

You walk away swiftly as her veins they divide...

Blanche

2011-11-01T00:35:00.004+11:00

Her beauty was like the edge of a sharp knife.

Lethal

Yet it drew you so near...

The Incident

2011-10-21T00:07:00.004+11:00

Since I heard what happened I can't stop thinking about you.

In that dark, with so much pain;

No face, no name, no one to blame.

Now in that white room all alone

So many faces, fights forgone...

Trauma

2011-10-07T18:15:00.003+11:00

With a beast that's inside I'll say goodbye;

To my life, to my pride and all of these lies.

With a beast in my mind that's biding its time

I won't have to try to say goodbye...

Drown

2011-10-03T23:55:00.005+11:00

Like those waves by the beach,

Just out of reach,

The shadows each night grow darker.

Like fear of the dark and Death's own mark

He wished for the courage to ask her.

Wash

2011-09-26T20:41:00.004+10:00

Yes it's true you brainwashed me and now I'll brainwash you.

Yes it's true;

You said you loved me and now I'm crushing you.

Yes it's true I'm a little confused

But now I can see that we're finally through.

Scrambled

2011-09-19T01:36:00.002+10:00

And through the deep, the scars that you keep

That leave you empty, after defeat

You try til morning, on your two feet

Be they all fall final from this pain it aint cheap!

Departed

2011-09-11T19:05:00.003+10:00

Since you left I can't stop crying

Deep deep down, it feels like I'm dying

From top to toes I feel so numb

But alone I can see what I did was dumb.

I'm all alone, I'm oh so scared

I wish I were, much more prepared...

Melancholia

2011-08-29T01:03:00.003+10:00

Like moments of fear and ink to bone

No matter the surface, deep down she's alone.

She's alone in the crowd, alone on the floor,

All around, the monsters roar.

Cherries

2011-08-17T18:39:00.006+10:00

For a lot of those people it was the drugs, then the depression. Then a different type of drugs to cure that. For me it was the fuzzy peace of drugs that took away the pain, at least temporarily. "That's a short cut to addiction..." she said, winking a heavily lashed eye.

But everything in that life was addictive, certainly...

New Fear

2011-08-07T22:09:00.003+10:00

And through the storm, feel me shake

Nurse me through pain and the pills I take.

And through the storm, smother my roar

I'm so so scared that I love you more...

Bivouac

2011-08-01T21:11:00.002+10:00

I miss those nights:

Around the fire with all the fun we could want. Smoke filled tents and screaming dreams. Visions on the sands. Bodies colliding and laughter, everywhere.

Him

2011-07-29T22:03:00.000+10:00

And each day with you I feel more alive

Afterglow

2011-07-20T14:36:00.000+10:00

But I can't wash your scent from off my skin.

No matter the showers, no matter the hours

I can feel you on me, feel your powers.

Filthy

2011-07-19T12:51:00.001+10:00

Always well dressed, aims to impress

A hooker at heart and a tramp, at best.

Always in the latest, hangs with the fakest

She could have been the greatest but instead she gets wasted.

Removed

2011-07-18T14:37:00.002+10:00

Like burning flesh

Flash bulb pressed

To never be seen again.

The Hunter

2011-07-13T19:20:00.003+10:00

All inked up, she wants to play

Til he warns her, low, to keep away

The shaking bones of her birds cage chest

Is where she wants his hands to rest.

But he won't flinch, that she knows;

He whispers "babe, there's far to go".

New

2011-07-08T14:01:00.003+10:00

Beautiful pain, so much to gain

Deep inked words on a skeletal frame.

Discipline

2011-07-05T23:45:00.004+10:00

In crowded deserts and empty streets

She wants to know when they will meet.

But through crowded deserts and empty rows

She really wonders, how far to go?

Her body aches, her body screams

You hear her cry please Set Me Free

Stain

2011-06-30T00:17:00.003+10:00

And deep below skin where hope will begin

I'll paint my feelings black.

With needles sharp and a wounded heart

I'll let the pain attack.

Fire

2011-06-29T23:26:00.004+10:00

It's easy to say you never knew me

Yet you found it no trouble when you tore and threw me

Aside, you put me, you didn't care

Yet you still were the one to cry about "fair".

You weren't ever honest, you really could lie

But in your defense, so could I...

Forbidden

2011-06-14T19:24:00.005+10:00

And even though your body's banned,

I'd like to take you by the hand.

And even though there leers a fright,

I'd like to hold you, through the night,

Be with you, out of sight,

Not shy away from your villain's bite.

Counterfeit

2011-06-05T21:54:00.002+10:00

Like cigarettes and sin as our days begin

The nights that follow fall.

You left the room while the speakers boomed

Only to follow his call.

Skeletal

2011-05-31T01:01:00.003+10:00

Cigarettes & death, empty threats. Wasted youth & late night bets. Bets you lose & the women you choose; to devour your soul while you try to prove. Something more, a late night whore. Never stopped creeping out that door. Shut doors, alone. Her lonely throne. As she slowly fades, into bone.

Passage

2011-05-23T22:16:00.002+10:00

I don't think I could lose you,

So instead I try to bruise you...

I Can't Love You This Much

2011-05-18T23:38:00.003+10:00

In spite of all these nights

I'd rather argue with you than be with someone else.

In spite of you and all your lies

I'd rather be with you than all alone and by myself.

Draught

2011-05-08T20:59:00.004+10:00

With eyes so cold I never knew their colour,

And a heart so black it broke me.

Entangled arms through tripped upon nights,

It was only death that woke me.

bygone

2011-04-26T00:00:00.003+10:00

And even now, when i see you,

My heart it runs so fast.

But when you talk, there's no words left,

For you are only my past.

fraud

2011-04-23T22:59:00.006+10:00

And she'll take to the skies

With your hopes in her eyes,

Dream weaver, what a deceiver

It took a fool to truly believe her.

rouge

2011-04-22T01:54:00.005+10:00

And as I passed you on that street with your empty dark eyes,

My heart both froze and, tried to hide.

Frightened but glad you hadn't seen me,

Hadn't ever seen my lies.

silence

2011-04-15T11:07:00.004+10:00

You don't want anybody at all,

You just cant stand the darkness on your own...

memorium

2011-04-10T21:26:00.004+10:00

Like blood stains and sweat:

Cold and wet.

Pressed into sides, crushed into walls

Just wiped up proof, hidden in drawers.

angelic

2011-04-05T19:29:00.003+10:00

I can fly... but I want his wings,

I can feel but I want that strength that he brings...

longing

2011-04-04T13:32:00.003+10:00

These stockings ripped all up my thighs

And these lights they play with my eyes.

This dance floor, tonight will quake,

While in your arms I shake and shake...

patois

2011-04-03T17:10:00.002+10:00

if only you could lick my wounds for me...

interstice

2011-03-29T23:03:00.001+11:00

Thin with longing

With her cracking white bones

This girl finally sees that she's all alone...

Heart Beats

2011-03-27T11:17:00.002+11:00

...And at Death's bedside she became Blue's bride

Crying each night to release fear and spite.

When she came she bit deep, releasing the heat

And left in the cold, to find what was old.

smoulder

2011-03-23T23:21:00.003+11:00

fire and brimstone

smoke and hope

you thought he loved you

but you were merely a joke

vinyl

2011-03-18T00:44:00.002+11:00

i remember that one night when we kissed;

i could feel your smile upon my lips

and for the first time in a while, i remember feeling happy...

one more night

2011-03-14T23:37:00.004+11:00

he drops to his knees

she says "please my love please,

don't you ever leave

me in this maze

you know that youre all i need?"

inked

2011-03-11T01:13:00.003+11:00

all the stars and all the boulevards

the crushed-dream girls who try so hard.

they walk the streets, at midnights hour,

trying so hard to reclaim some power.

sun fall

2011-03-06T17:08:00.003+11:00

and back at home she went out in the city and had too many drinks. she danced all night and saw stars in the air. glitter, magic things. she had arms draped around her and numerals were sprinkled throughout the evening. men men men. the night was alive, pumping like an organ. but all the magic dissolved when he told her his name.

landing

2011-03-05T17:28:00.003+11:00

as we flew into delhi it was pitch black. a new mass of people, places, ideas... positioned as fairy lights under stretched, hazy skin.

we swooped and descended, the adventure begins.

peregrinations

2011-02-15T10:01:00.000+11:00

and his body was tattooed with stories of the centuries

the bleeding lines a map of time and lies

"follow" he said, "youll find what youve been looking for..."

enterprising

2011-02-12T13:36:00.000+11:00

sorry to false advertise, baby

but were closed.

odysseus

2011-02-09T13:36:00.000+11:00

i travelled the world to see your scars

but when i found them, they didnt hurt

they didnt mean anything

...anymore

ache

2011-02-04T13:35:00.000+11:00

and what is it, this growing hunger

insatiable passion the latest fashion

this growing obsession, making us fast to learn our lesson?

class is at noon, eternal doom

teach me baby, come to my room...

him

2011-02-01T13:33:00.004+11:00

smokey sin

please let me in

im so so lost, i need to win.

dawn

2011-01-30T23:03:00.005+11:00

youre in too deep, too early you peak

like bruised-petal flowers, your ruined physique

crumpled by fists and arms and lips

your tired eyes and battered hips.

dust

2011-01-24T22:09:00.005+11:00

and in the dark its just you and me

but itll take discipline to set me free...

spritely

2011-01-22T09:10:00.001+11:00

these are not girls with broken hearts as they will never let themselves love to be broken.

girls scared of their own shadows and with bones they cant stand to have touched.

girls that live with dark-lined, wide eyes and that crave purity, cleanliness and emptiness

girls who walk around with hairfulls of flowers and minds, full of kaleidoscopic dreams.

girls who have fallen, but no one will ever know....

basis

2011-01-18T13:06:00.004+11:00

and you have no idea:

of how i love you to the bones

and so much deeper than i could ever go.

stupor

2011-01-18T12:32:00.003+11:00

wasted youth and a lack of truth.

smokey cigarettes, sipping cheap wine,

needing so little to have a good time...

falsified

2011-01-17T15:36:00.002+11:00

and as we breathe, the starlight we inhale,

the night settles, darkening my skins pale...

you walk away after brushing my lips

and in the dark, my façade slips.

fracture

2011-01-11T23:20:00.002+11:00

from a clan of breakers,

(butter fingered & with slippery grips)

i rose;

holding together the pieces, catching all that falls...

loyalty

2011-01-06T18:12:00.002+11:00

sitting on that throne

her milk-white bones exposed

she brushes diamond tears

concealing all her fears...

ache

2011-01-06T06:11:00.000+11:00

and he told me

"i will destroy your bones

but not if you take mine first..."

starting six

2011-01-01T16:11:00.003+11:00

out with the old and in with the new

i love the silence but i cant stand the dark without you.

pack

2010-12-28T23:23:00.004+11:00

and in the darkness of the night

i want to see your fight

listen to you moan

as they corrupt you to your bones

misanthropic

2010-12-19T10:46:00.004+11:00

have you ever kissed the devil under the pale moonlight?

losing your faith by the end of the night?

weak

2010-12-18T21:38:00.004+11:00

we drink all night and wake up bruised,

thinking were safe with nothing to lose.

we drink away our troubles and our fears

leaving us bruised and scarred for years.

reap

2010-12-18T17:47:00.002+11:00

all dolled up?

i got the voodoo.

watch your step,

we dont want to lose you...

truth

2010-12-14T22:07:00.002+11:00

soft to see but not to touch

he seemed amazing but he liked it rough.

sweetest kisses and eyes so deep

you thought he meant it but he left you in your sleep.

rip

2010-12-12T23:04:00.002+11:00

crumpled sheets and unfinished dreams

everything started will burst at its seams.

hunt

2010-12-09T20:41:00.003+11:00

it took a while but we made it back

but now to escape from presumptions attack.

i made it back but not the same:

i dont want to play your messed up game.

those nights

2010-12-06T20:17:00.003+11:00

second-hand smoke will follow your decisions

chasing the bad to haunt your eternal

bruise

2010-12-04T23:13:00.004+11:00

and there they were, painted black and blue

like different rubs of some nasty tattoo...

bond

2010-12-02T10:44:00.001+11:00

boo hoo

you never really knew.

then it doesnt matter that were loosing you

burning

2010-11-30T09:26:00.001+11:00

and you looked at me with that fire in your eyes

and as the ambers glowed i knew you would leave me

for everyone does

and i knew that i couldnt take it, again...

leave

2010-11-28T16:24:00.000+11:00

i saw your face in everyone, i swear

and it scared me so much.

i couldnt sleep at at all until i knew you were home

even though you didnt know i was waiting.

fall

2010-11-25T23:26:00.001+11:00

i was standing there and it was like

those two wings from my back

vanished

leaving only gaping scars

mission

2010-11-22T12:09:00.004+11:00

and all you want is just to say:

ill be there, youll see, one day.

so dont go away, dont you move

youll see. ive got things to prove.

pierce

2010-11-21T11:16:00.002+11:00

and theres bite marks on my skin

from your sharply pointed grin...

not i

2010-11-18T22:54:00.004+11:00

oh gee youre so wise! oh god your thighs! youre so fucking cool, why play by the rules? so, hear my desperate cries as they ring through the night... wait. thats right, i see through your lies. so lets play no more games as we waste away our days. i need to inject before you fucking infect.

aftermath

2010-11-15T21:05:00.002+11:00

in that tight tight dress

what a psychedelic mess.

and she didnt know how to stop it.

already won

2010-11-14T23:26:00.006+11:00

check your flight make sure its right and try, if you can, to last the night. check shes fine and check her lies walk the streets with exposed upper thighs. walk til morning and work the day sell yourself to get your pay you arent anything you arent new.

this game is over, i think you lose.

mystery

2010-11-13T00:17:00.004+11:00

i never knew a thing about him:

from his angels smile to devils intentions he was pure confusion.

but now, as his hand rests upon my leg

i know he has even more layers then i could ever know...

evils kiss

2010-11-12T22:47:00.002+11:00

and in that night you were everything to me.

but as days and hours pass you fade away:

"ill give you a reason," you say and i need little more to prompt me...

and much to stop me.

refresh

2010-11-07T18:51:00.005+11:00

in her dreams were girls with bones like bird cages, dancing upon dusty stages laced with red lights. gone were pajama days and barely there nights. these were the days of the dreams, the disease...

rest

2010-11-01T23:41:00.002+11:00

and in those moments when we lie there

all i keep thinking, as i draw my fingers over your back

is that one day we will only be particles

...until, like dust, we settle

distant

2010-11-01T23:39:00.002+11:00

lets scrape away all these distant ideals

for one day we will just be bones, and dust...

pandemonium

2010-10-26T10:50:00.004+11:00

after all this time and all this loss

all i want is to taste your chaos

middle

2010-10-25T19:40:00.003+11:00

im so blue you cant get through

and wouldnt want to worry you.

youre so "smart" so you never have a doubt

and so wasted your insides are falling out.

the wait

2010-10-22T18:18:00.001+11:00

the time started passing it flew right by but then then they started to wonder, why? why were things changing, what had they done? had they lost their will for fun? they didnt know fun. things were fading, changing from bright and howls grew louder and louder each night. the nights were dark, the nights were long and finally it struck:

that theyd always been wrong.

the breaker

2010-10-21T15:52:00.002+11:00

the waves took her away.

beneath the surface she glided like snakes

preying on those that fell

and finding, eventually, a satisfying silence...

haze

2010-10-20T16:38:00.003+11:00

and now, while she sleeps, we shall awaken the dreamer;

she doesnt deserve this world before her eyes.

aloof

2010-10-19T11:31:00.006+11:00

you never knew that girl at all.

lying about that night

spreading words that never were

you waited, you said but you were nothing but vain

and now, its cold; only her bones remain.

web

2010-10-17T13:23:00.006+11:00

why are there so many secrets?

you may hide behind words, a name or a face

but in the end youll never win this race

times are changing, its time for fear

for like everything else, the end is near.

so fuck it up and hunt them down

theres no one there to hold your crown

you think youre great you think youre fine

but darling know: youre out of time.

noose

2010-10-14T19:42:00.006+11:00

and you hanged us there like towels to dry

as though none of it had ever meant anything and like we had only ever been commodities of convenience

left and forgotten.

you used us, you moved us

and left us to dry.

drip

2010-10-13T14:11:00.004+11:00

it covers the doorways it covers your hands

you think its great but you dont understand

you never did and you never will

but you wait around till youve had your fill.

things get darker, its all a haze

and you scream and you scream, trapped in this maze

the hours pass by but oh, still;

youre trapped and were hungry, we want our fill.

commodity

2010-10-12T20:51:00.002+11:00

you cant afford to lose me

so instead, you use me.

its okay

2010-10-10T21:58:00.003+11:00

youve got what you want

youve got what you need

the wait is over

you can finally breathe

wasted

2010-10-09T20:22:00.003+11:00

all these hours that life inspires

all these minutes but life transpires

all these seconds, stolen by liars;

to ensure all mine are wasted.

overrated

2010-10-08T04:37:00.000+11:00

pre madonna high school drama

dont you wanna, really wanna

take that step, please do the honour

fix it, me? well im not gonna...
