We were just kids in love.

And that's the truth, we'll stay just fine.
I'm coming back and just on time to be myself again;
The way that made me real.
So tell me, have you surfaced yet?

This is how it felt when I was growing up,
And being part of no one but you found yourself,
And that says a lot to me these days.
I'm sorry for the way I used to be,
I was just a kid,
Just a kid.

Can you hear me?
Well I don't even care.
I'll stop my screaming if you look the other way. -TDS

And so it is, Just like you said it would be.

Keep a stable distance from all we've thrown away
It's not yours to fix anymore, so why stay?
Every breath whispered under cover
Forever she said, as she walked away
Even then I think we both knew
Reality makes us black and blue
In quiet places no one knows
We watched the sun cross the sky
I died inside, reborn to
live and learn and
love
again
Lying in beds and Laying in pain
We've almost got away with it
And now I get why you disappeared
You always were
So frustratingly wrong and wise
Littering the skies searching for perfect words, finding
only a stolen kiss hidden in the rain
Verifying an end to something we refused to call what it was
Everything bright and beautiful, It's how I will always see
You.

I can't pretend you don't exist

red balloon in a dark alley

venomous, dangerous, what I want to play with
come closer, lets balance on this fence
between wrong and right or death and life
Sometimes its the same
And we go down like this
Buried embraced in deaths sweet kiss
I want to get caught with you
Make me the fallen, like only you can
Constrict me control me until I cant move until
I die, in your eyes tonight
I'll be everything you want
But it will never be enough
and that's the bait
that I will take
every time.

my only salvation

With hollow hearts on hollowed ground we made a promise
And I for one can't seem to dream a world where that didn't happen.

Sweet Little Lie

If I ask you to break me down to pieces
I mean take the knife and put it where it hurts the most
Please don't spare me, because I can't spare a second more
The day you fixed these damaged goods
was the day I forgot what I was writing for
Because these days I write like shit
I can't get back to it, the way I felt when I was broken
I need it more than I know
I'm not whole without the suffocation of unsettling
I need to be unstable to swim
Who knew when you put me back together again
it would be the end of everything
so I guess in the end it was the pain that made me feel real
And the emptiness of now, it's just a seal
it covers the scars that have now fully healed
Or did you not notice?
And I could cry forever Because they helped me remember
Did it really happen
Did anyone care at all
I'm not a little girl anymore
but I still fall
over and over and over again
Don't think I can't pretend , I've made a living out of it
My smile might just make you fly
If you find what you want in hell's abyss
You'll find what you want in a sweet little lie

I'm just a lost voice in an infinite space
Sometimes I give up and the silence returns
And then it comes back seeping out in calloused and unpretty syllables
And sometimes I'm just screaming
But I'm scared to death that someone will hear me.

I didn't forget. I don't want to.

I like to think of the best times of my life in snow globes

Preserved in the perfection that they were
When we loved each other
So even though we don't anymore
we still have the proof that it was real
You weren't a mistake.
I need you to know that.
I need you to know it's okay that we moved on
We were supposed to
and all the hurt and anger and the jealousy and the pain and the darkness
We needed that to.
I think we just got stuck staring at the snowglobes trying to find a way in
Instead of appreciating them for what they are.
You don't talk to me anymore
So I have no way of knowing
But I hope someday when you think about us, you can smile.

Here's your happy ending

Once upon a time there was a little girl
She grew up in her own little fairytale
With ribbons and ponies and fairies at hand
And all of the world was her playland
She could have anything she ever dreamed
With only one restriction to learn:
"Don't go into the woods,
For if you do you will never return"
The little girl did not understand
Why she must stay in her playland
and avoid the evil woods
that intrigued her where the shadows stood
She made up her mind despite consequence
she must explore this labyrinth
She left in the middle of a moonlit night
and noone knew of her secret plight
The sun found it's way back in the morning, but she did not
And that's the last anyone knew of this plot.
And the girl?
Well, shes around.
But, you have to go in, she can't come out
So call it darkness or something else.
But you know what this is really about.
We all go into the woods and never come out.

That metal show on vh1 classics inspired me to do this. This is my top 5 album art of recent-ish years:

#5 Fall Out Boy- Infinity On High
I don't know there is just something about a sheep with wings.....












#4 Chiodos- Bone Palace Ballet
I had a picture of this taped to my mirror in highschool. This is the album that got me into Chiodos













#3 Brand New- Deja Entendu
This is just epic artwork and an epic album













#2 The Used- Lies for the Liars
It was hard for me to choose just one cover of the used albums. Honestly they are all amazing
