TheIdentitytheif

King of idiots Wearing a fools crown Ruler of the losers Self proclaimed clown

Rugged and misunderstood Always lets everyone down Blowing bubbles in the parking lot Wreaking havoc all over town

Enemy of reason Misinterpreting every move Hands in his back pockets Doesn’t live in his own mind

Head in the clouds Living in your dreams Slowly going mad Tearing at the seams

Eyes full of crystals But poorer than the next man Might as well be invisible Treated like a heathen

Walking in the moonlight Meaning in the water Not a sane man in sight Dead men in the rafters

Dearest wife, I cheated on you with another woman She’s as black as night She’s cold as ice And I’m sorry I’ve been so Distant these past few years

I thought about kissing her in the rain Maybe that would be more romantic I wanted to kiss her in the rain I thought it would take away my pain

Dearest mother, I moved in with this girl last night She’s as black as night She’s cold as ice And I’m sorry I had to Leave you all too soon

I thought about leaving her be Maybe that would be best I thought about leaving her be But I decided she could make me free

Dearest children, There’s a new lady in my life She’s as black as night She’s cold as ice And I’m sorry because I know You miss your mother since she passed

Put the pen to the paper Watch it soak up the ink Look right through at the Black blood of the artist

Purple and blue Bruises of the heart Maybe if we’re lucky They won’t turn green Maybe if we’re lucky These words will never be seen

Why are you so close to me This isn’t something you want to read Don’t hover over my shoulder Unless you think you would like To know what it’s like To die on the inside

If nobody hears the sounds I make Am I even here at all? Like paint splattered On a wall that’s too clean

There’s something about That eery silence The echo of my movements Like a blanket of silence That’s too thick to cut through

I’m often asked what it’s like To just not exist It’s like being in a room full of people And they should all know Who you are but They can’t remember because Their brains are clogged With the lint of their emotions

Linking together the chain So slowly it’s almost painful Watching as the days disappear And bring you closer to it

When you ask to what I’ll only smile It’s a secret I will tell you And so a secret it shall be A wonderful glorious secret As the years pass The secret is forgotten

People who aren’t really people Just empty shells Their souls are dead While their bodies are living They walk the streets

Endlessly searching for happiness All they find is dim grey loneliness But it’s alright because They have everything They never knew they needed

They try to make these Things they own Fill the space in their soul But all they’re doing is Trying to make a square into a circle Trying to fit the pieces in their Heart shaped boxes with no locks

So grease yourself with Vaseline You sly dog Make a slippery get away And they won’t know what to say If you’re slick enough You might make it

Run run run and Don’t ever come back They’ll catch you in their trap again They’ll put constrictions on your mind Bind your hands and feet Eat the key so you’ll never escape

Just shut your little mouth child Just don’t say a word Keep it to yourself In your own little world

Don’t blame yourself It’s not your fault They’ll catch flame Just watch just wait It’ll come, that day

Scratches on your face Are there to remind you Where you’re headed They’ll point you in the right direction

Sit back relax and Watch them fall apart And yet still no one admires your art Appreciation of the rare odd beauty Leave me here Don’t take this moment from me

When I was an idiot Things were much simpler Things were much brighter And oh so much darker Nothing could have Wrenched me away From my crutch My happiness my loneliness I would just keep on being Naive to the world around me

You keep pulling me back in again I can hardly breathe Don’t move a muscle darling I’ll come back for you again Don’t ever think straight darling Just let the moment sink into your skin

The black and white Contrast kept me alive When there was no pain I could thrive but The moment it got dark again I would writhe in agony Wallow in self pity How the hell could Any of this be good for me?

You keep pulling me back in again I can hardly breathe Don’t move a muscle darling I’ll come back for you again Don’t ever think straight darling Just let the moment sink into your skin

Blah blah blah Don’t fuckin laugh at me Don’t fuckin talk to me I want to be left alone I will never bother you Unless you give me reasons to Don’t force this shit upon me Don’t try to make me see I don’t care about your twisted view You see the world and that’s all you see Stop getting in my fucking face I will never convert to your ways

Stop making my anger tick It’ll go off like a time bomb I can feel my body twitching And my mind has got this itch Just go and throw me overboard So I can pull you in with me But wait that’s so unfair I can’t torture you cuz that’s a SIN Too fucking bad you’ll have to respect my thoughts

I feel like I’m gonna be sick Leave me to it Cuz you’re such a dick

Let me sulk in the dark Burn sunshine into my skin I like the way it feels

Lonely nights, lonely days I will never understand your ways Blinding light it’s all white There’s nothing there Look around can’t see a thing

I don’t feel anything I’ve grown calluses on my heart On my mind on my soul I’m just a ghost

A memory of alliances between hearts And wars between minds You’re blurring the lines Cuz you can’t find your soul

Dig your nails into my skin Go ahead I won’t feel it I put up a wall of happiness keep you all out I don’t want these demons anymore As if I wanted them in the first place

Where did all the familiar feelings go I live in the corners of my own mind If you’ll just give me some time Everybody’s rushing around But I’ll stand here in the middle I won’t make a sound

Swim like pirhanas with gruesome jaws and even worse teeth Human beings with their gruesome flaws and they all hate me

No matter what I do This feeling won’t go away It builds up in me like a cancer Everytime I run away It runs after sucking out my life killing my laughter

I’m a blank page so tell me your story Don’t worry the worst that could happen is I would stay the same maybe even die But you’ll have to write in white ink My page is so black with writing It’s hard to make anything out There’s nothing to read there

It won’t come into focus and As we wait for the end to come It’s a feeling of anticipation I want it to be over already But I’m too scared of what will come after

My body is tense My mind is blurred and racing My heart pounds fast but I’m barely breathing I’m hardly living Is this what you call living? Cause I call it death And so death it shall be

What’s the difference if I’m sad If I’m happy If I’m the same as the dirt from the earth

What does it matter if I’m bothered If I’m broken If I’m at the tip top of the world
