She was Dear to me

I want to follow you into the darkness
My dear friend
I want to step in those same footsteps
That have taken you there
I want to breathe the same air
The stale and stagnant molecules
I want to follow you into the darkness
My dear friend

Two dark eyes
So void of any life
You were gone long before you ever died

I want to follow you into the darkness
My sweet soul
I want to step into those same footsteps
The ones that you chose
I want to breathe in the dry dust
And choke on the musk
I want to follow you into the darkness
My sweet friend

It hurt not to know
If the choice was truly yours
But you promised so many times that you would shut those doors

And I want to follow you into the darkness
My dear
I want to step into those same footsteps
Without a hint of fear
I want to suck in the air
And forget that we are there
I want to follow you into the darkness
My dear

Oh they say there is a lot that we don‘t know
But I felt that searing pain before they ever told me so
They say it could all have been a sad mistake
But you told me so many times; the steps that you would take...

And I want to follow you into the darkness
My darling
I want to step in your tracks
And never get back
I want to follow you into the darkness
My sweetness
I would carry you on my back
Further into the dark
And we‘d never have to look back

We‘ll never have to look back
Please can I follow you into the dark?

Destroyer of Worlds

I like to pretend that things unravel on their own
That I fold away the loose ends but they never really hold
I pretend that I‘m a seamstress
When I can‘t sew a stitch
I pretend that I‘m a sweet girl
When really, I‘m a bitch
And with a needle on my thread
I hem up the universe
At least I‘ll have you buying it
Until the second verse
Cause I‘d like to think I‘m trying
But it‘s hard to be so sure
When the yardstick that has mesured all my failures before
Lies broken on the ground and will not measure anymore.
I‘d like to be your savior
I‘d like to be your knight
I‘d like to be a lot of things but I can‘t even fight
You ask me what I am
As if I‘m sure to know
And maybe I‘m supposed to  have an answer fit to show
Please just stop insisting
That I‘m more than what I am
Sometimes definitions take the meaning by the hand.
Hey there, I am girl
It feels nice to say my name
I‘m sure if you forgot it, you‘d still recognize my face
I like watching you unravel
While I pretend to fix
All the little flaws that have lead you up to this.
I told you not to follow me
I told you stay away
The momentary pleasure is just far too much to take
Hi there I am girl
Destroyer of worlds
I‘ve got the needle and the thread, now tell me where it hurts?
I like to pretend that things unravel on their own
That I fold away the loose ends but they never seem to hold
If I can‘t see it coming, then it can‘t be my fault
I‘m not the one who pulls the string to watch as you unfold.

The Spark That Drives

Oh God, Oh God,
Oh not again
I waited 15 years for this to end
Let go, Let go
Just let it go
But there isn‘t a large enough ammount of snow
To freeze this rush before it starts
I wish I could let go of my heart
Why is it always just one nudge?
It doesn‘t even have to be touch...
Just somekind of recognition
15 years and that‘s still the ignition
The spark, the thing that stutters me alive
The fuse is lit, now fucking DRIVE
But no, no, not that
We‘re just at it again
A samba, a tango and it never ends
You shift to the right and I shuffle to follow
Thought I carved that shit out,
My DAMN CHEST IS HOLLOW?!!
How on Earth do we always get back?
Repetitive roller-coasters
Off of our tracks
It‘s not even surprising anymore
I was seventeen years old when I showed you the door
For the first time
A Rhyme
Oh another
Good times
Seems like all we can muster is write out our lives
I‘m a muse of perfection
You‘re a hero of old
An untouchable deity
Made of marble and gold
And I‘ve sworn to you once and again
“It means nothing unless we’re still friends”
We forget
We move on
And you think it’s all gone
You etch paths in your skin
To let someone  e l s e  in
They can try that…but they’ll never win
We’re the terrible two
Fated destiny twins
Oh god, oh god
Oh god no…not again
I can wait no more lifetimes
For this bullshit to end.
