lowering the casket into the ground; years of hope and love disappear without a sound.

Dinosaura, We (free) 02:33
just follow the path that led to this death: one thousand unfolded paper cranes "this is for peace. let the bombs drop! we're not to blame. bury the girl!" but I cannot fathom their vile fall in line we're all soldiers of war our hearts have been taken prisoner to this world this is it this is our time this is it let the bombs fly we have become everything that we said we would never let ourselves become we have become everything that we said we would never become she's not alone in her grave tonight and neither am I

Upon A Scarlet Sunset (free) 02:31
this is not my life it's a sham that has left my body atrophied will someone untie this noose from my neck? this is not my life it's a nightmare and I've been falling forever but when my face hits the pavement I don't wake up I'm left drowning in a pool of bile and blood this is not my life but of course I'll let this train wreck hit me head on this time around each full moon brings the same fucking mood I can't help but be consumed I lost what I had I hate what I loved I loathe what I dream this is not my life I'm left staring at my own shadows in the candle light waiting for a change to come that probably never will

we're at the same crossroads again and I'm just wondering when I can walk away from the choice you made my memories hung themselves staring up at the moon for too long remembering how you said we'd take the world by storm my eyes have rusted over my tongue is rotting out of my body the stench of the past is overwhelming the most beautiful songs become crippling melodies so why did I deserve to feel my own eyes glaze over? the sound of my lungs collapsing still overtakes the laughter. can only remember hearing "this wasn't your fault, love" but you and I both know you are and always will be a fucking liar.

est-ce ainsi que tu tu amuser? démontant les autres je suis un insecte à vous mais je suis rien à moi l'odeur sur mon lit. ma chanson préférée. rappelle des souvnir je ne veux pas savoir. la cicatrices sur mon bras. une photo brûlée je rêve cela que je ne savais jamais faire semblant que tout entre tu et moi n'était jamais là ouvrir nos mains, fermez tes yeux et tourner loin sans dire au revoir je m'attends être seul

I've been drawing interstates over veins because all I want to do is get away from this place but I can't find the strength in these legs to rid myself of this hell that I've made so what am i waiting for? i know I don't deserve to be alone but I've convinced myself otherwise my entire life and now nothingness is my only home all I've done for days is read Frost and Hemingway and think about the way you'd breathe down the back of my neck all these fucking nights run together this is not my life, it's a nightmare I don't expect to make it out alive there's no sin worse than being slaughtering myself by begging for love I need to keep from destroying me do beating hearts mean we're alive and bleeding wounds mean we're aware? because I know in the end when my corpse is underground this will all be forgotten
