I don't know what to write

The dead are calling

Remnants of the past

Return of the Ice Queen

All for you

Poverty is your love and the truth lies dormant in your smile


I put as much as I can into me
 take a sip swallow pill
do what I can to tolerate being this type of me for you
 drown out all the noise in my head
Force myself to conform though I don't want to
take a drink swallow pill

Yes I do so much
and it's all for you
cause normalcy is what keeps you happy
and it's all about the upkeep
 don't you feel comfortable
sleeping next to me
in our nightmare

yes I know how my dreams blot out the sun
light absorbed by all my dark analogy's
but you don't seem to mind basking in your own light

consumed in all the tricks you play
yes its dark in here
  down in me
    it will get darker still
    when playing your way ceases to be fun


little things they always seem
to get past you in such big ways
       there you are hands palm up
always reaching out
when there's nothing left to gain

the truth is hard but I swallow it for you
stuff it down
push it further into the hole that is me
it's all for you
what I have become
