bones twist and contort with pride. a shallow heart, but bottomless insides. the bumps under my skin are not the usuals. the lump in my throat burns and makes few holes. the claws in my skin bring a sense of glee. you were never the one for me. a change of pace and her throat wrapped with lace. a new and fresh start for you broken, sunken heart. you couldn't even fathom what this is all worth, the pain you kept has haunted you since birth. the long and unpaved road we live on is a shameful excuse for the things we have done. a trip here and a jump there, the stinging pain in my head is something i can't bear. it moves and creeps it's way down to my heart, it takes on the role of harmful reminder as it's part. skin swallowed from chewed on hands, screaming, crying, joyful fans. facing the crowd is something we must do, enduring the pain is more to me than it could be to you. no one knows just what we are hiding from them, they all know that we cannot be better until then. so on we go and we make our way, to grin and bear it until we reach center stage.

what ?

swallow your pride while you tremble inside, this night's a cold one and so are the feelings you're trying to hide. a simple price to pay; a small and bittersweet decay. you were never the one you thought you were. a heart to be stolen, a promise waiting to be broken. you were the last one left in the nightmare. you were the first one that was not there.
oh how the chemicals burn, how the heart's desire churns. i'd still die in a second for you, lesson still not learned. a predicament such as this, a chance; it was a chance i did miss. an imbalance in the pavement, a crooked stone in the garden. you were never the last, you weren't even the first.
in a landfill, by the lake. my heart did tremble, my body did ache. a tear for happiness, a laugh for sorrow. this is nothing, you are nothing, we were nothing but a lie.

you don't even know me anymore.

hey there,

heart of stone,
the only feeling left is bitterness.
memories once known,
now disappear into an abyss.
a sharp pain running down your neck,
tells you, "baby it's time to forget."
regret, regret, is all that's left inside,
you try to run, but it wont let you hide.
the scars, they never heal;
and the pain makes it too hard to deal.
you can't get away from this demon,
it shallows you whole without feeling.
heart of stone, a heart of stone
is all that's left of you.

feet running,
hearts beating to keep their same pace.
eyes batting just to hold on to the rhythm,
your teeth gnash to be safe.
palms sweat with enthusiasm and eagerness,
cheeks blush in the heat of the moment.
mascara runs and the tears race,
now your heart is in a chase.
fighting to beat your own self,
tripping over invisible lines just to get help.
strings chime,
the once tugs are now pulls.
a sudden, faint flicker breaks all the rules.
