Imprinted

Constantly running-
Will I ever catch my breath?
Tripping over every obstacle-
Is there any escape?
I'm in over my head-
Will there be room to breathe?
Your poisonous venom seeps through-
Will my heart ever be the same?
Like every touch, my body remembers-
Is there a chance I'll ever forget?
The brush of your hair, your sweet scent-
Why does my body scream for more?
A single touch, my body shivers-
I'll always want more from you
Weeping for some security-
I'll never be the same again.

Endlessly

Would it be okay-
If I fell apart.
Would your heart hurt-
If I shut down
Would you be okay-
If I went away
Would you break-
If I couldn't stay today
What if I-
Said I couldn't handle this
Would you care?
Would you chase me?
Or would you say good bye?

Breakable

Breakable;
Never thought I'd be the one making mistakes
Continuously begging for forgiveness,
The knees in my pants has been worn out
Constant screaming and headaches
An internal battalion ongoing;
Unreachable and unable to contain-
Expressionless face; emotionless
Full of energy, unable to show
Head held high until you've finally cracked it;
Walls crumbling that was once infallible
Once secure, now fragile;
Breakable.

Stand still

Every step I take
Is a step I just want to break
The world weighing upon my shoulders,
How much more can I carry?
Drowning in a pool of nothingness-
Was it all just my imagination?
Crying out continuously
Does it even matter at this point?
Fighting the urge to pull everything deep inside
Shoving it down, only to explode
Leading the path to be stuck in stasis...
No escape, no relief
Stand still for eternity.

Rock Bottom

Weighing in everybody's thoughts
Do what's right or what's cool
Pressure heavy upon the shoulders
A boulder hanging above my head
Smoking up a chimney to forget
Pass it around or lose your 'friends'
Waste the big bucks on brand names
When you could be playing games or scoring girls
First impressions- make or break
Prove your strength or accept defeat
Breaking and entering-
What a thrill (how pathetic)
Gotta stay on top of the social ladder
Rock bottom is for losers
And I'm a winner

Barricaded

Barricaded
Stuck like a bird in a cage
Walls incapable of being broken through
Sighs of relief-
My secrets are safe
"Who am I?"- do you even know?
Am I as fragile as you seem to think?
"Tough as nails"- wouldn't you like to know?
Every moment, the weight increases
"Is this real?"- perhaps
Dreams torture me night after night
"How do I escape?"- no end in sight
Constant battle- both sides are losing
Feet directly planted in quicksand
First impressions- make or break
"It's always either love or hate"- why not both?
Head strong, never breaking
Never a moment of weakness- split second
Truth or lies- which is better?
It's now or never, I've let you in
Too late or too soon- time never wins
Is this me or is this you?
No escape- barricaded.

Just like Lightning

On days like these we could explode,
But we're each other's detonator
One second tells us to stop
But the next could blow
You hold me in limbo
Into a place I never want to escape
I get angry, you get angry
We get calm in a split second
Grab my hands and don't let go
I'm wearing my heart on my wrist
Trusting you so much not to break
Cause I don't know how much to take
I don't want to escape
Grip on tighter and I'll lead the way
Into a place you've never gone before
Spin round and round-
You hold me so high, I never want to fall down
Pick the pieces but don't leave the sharp ones behind
They're what make us, us
Sunshine and rainbows-
The world nor too bright or bleak
But with you, it's complete
