hard_to_breathe
puredream these impure lies
these fallen ties
these frozen tears
these painted smears

the rhyming lines
the costly fines
the blackened newspage
the recent rage

our misconcepted lives
our shrunken beehives
our forgotten loveliness
our disastrous new age mess

looking around
i hear not a sound
the last bomb is lost
to an all too powerful cost
there's a smoke overcast
these moments are our last
we fought not out of need
and now it's hard to breathe

thieums Was a time I would have cried
Those days have all gone by
You always walked a crooked line
And so did I
You read my thoughts, you knew my fears
Weren't as old as you appeared
But so much wiser than your years
And I was blind
If I mentioned love I take it back
I saw your heart and it was black
I finally found out what you lack
And that's a soul
You left a trail of rubber checks
Broken hearts and busted necks
What the fuck did I expect
I don't know

You can give your confession tomorrow
If you find a priest dumb enough to believe
It only hurts when I breathe

Purge and binge, binge and purge
Gorged on speed and bitter words
Found ourselves on B and 3rd
One more time
Feast and fast, burn and crash
Couldn't seem to make it last
You stole my confidence and cash
But I will survive

You can give your confession tomorrow
If you find a priest dumb enough to believe
It only hurts when I breathe

Tears and laughs, laughs and tears
Days are weeks and months are years
Up the on-ramp grinding gears
Away we go
Looking for a bar to burn
Waiting for the tide to turn
Some people never learn
And I should know

You can give your confession tomorrow
If you find a priest dumb enough to believe
And me I'll just beg steal and borrow
Because it only hurts when I breathe
It only hurts when I breathe

unhinged i don't know
i feel isolated from you again
feeling like all those months of silence
were because i couldn't keep my feelings private
cause you know i have a way of internalizing
even though you still hug me the same
even though you still smile the same
i feel separated from you
i guess i was in_love with you
it really wasn't that hard to figure out
but it's more because i want to make sure you are happy
than me wanting to carry your children
yeah, we are both too crazy for that
we both need someone sane to take care of us
and when i think about how i love you
it's hard for me to breathe
my chest gets constricted
my throat swells shut
and my heart skips a beat
biting my lip to stop the tears from swelling
cause even after all these years
we can't seem to come to a mutual understanding
but you still hug me the same
a weird entrapping glue
this feeling in the weird grey land between friend and lover
any word to describe it shallow and stupid
i need you next to me
silent and full
like a soft warm blanket
so that i can breathe again
i guess i'm still in_love with you
trying hard to deny it
i can't pass it up
i won't even try it
it's this weird grey land i can't put a name to
and when i'm trapped in it
it's hard for me to breathe

Deomis I was pushed into the world
Into the throngs of people
Crushed toward the side
It is getting hard to breathe

I'm falling 'neath the waters
Of a death-stained sea
Finding that below the surface
Things aren't what they seem

You were all that kept me alive
Saved me from this calamity
Yet with your hands came my undoing
And it's getting hard to breathe
