Love Is Love // Return to Dust
I have never felt as empty as I feel today Even when the moment's beauty fades in and away That's all it is, a moment When the images creep back into the forefront of my brain From picking up the pieces of unearthing devotion Re-energizing dead feelings I can see the flowers growing out of your mouth While the cancer in your brain begs to get out And I'll try to understand your pain again By throwing my body on the fire, by accepting myself as the enemy It doesn't take much to recognize that these leeches aren't my friends And it gets harder when everything goes through a formula filter (your head) Erase the ones I love the most so I can bleed in peace So I can bleed in peace Relieve the poison from my tongue Embrace a reverie

We have the same feelings that we have had I knew what was different when my skin didn't crack My callouses didn't burn, my stomach didn't sink I just internalized the loss, embraced the weakness Toe to toe with "one day at a time" It has become as routine as watching you sink into cold, dead skin The void where that fire went Or where the last one rested its skull Fucked, or the next one The rope hanging from my father's hotel window Around my neck on my head

It's the nerves that keep this breeding And sometimes when I'm sleeping I can hear it breathing in my dreams "It's the pills I took, to bring it off" she said April is coming more easy And when it rains, it pours but it knows the reality That once we break in certain ways, nothing's ever the same The stitches are already in place And another day is over But the floor still feels the same and I'm not ready to change But the floor still feels the same and I'm not ready to change I'm not afraid to die, but it's the rush that keeps me alive Not afraid to die, but it's the rush that keeps me alive

As serenity floods, driving my brain in circles Humility reminds me to just let the composure be God grant me the power to know the things I can change The things I can't, and the difference But this pain has a face Vilified, unstricken Deeper than what my soul can give, higher than my mind Sharing all of my late night testimonies while your tongues touch As the rat creeps past my eyes, onto your legs Dragging my mourning through the streets of our town First impressions, second glances at souls you'd think you know Have you ever dreamed you would wake up dead? I'd swear that I have, but my word is temporary Residence of a mind's eye Endless fucking trudge Recognition versus the ability to let go Of the places and people that destroy me the most In ways, there is no rhythm or reason And in that lies the sickness You just know, you just know You just know, you just know

The love fades against the color's change The loss shakes against the cold Tearing pieces from my decrepit skin Just to try and keep you warm

Break me into something worth it More than the heads of statues Even if the trend reconciles itself I'll still wake up wishing I didn't So maybe instead I'll choke on these anti-anxiety pills So I don't have to swallow the flavor of life floating away In your hands against his chest or my head on the bathroom fucking floor But every morning is a clean slate And my back starts to break, my face starts to change Alignment of the way I act and the way I am Because in my mind it's an emptiness Multi-foliate An abundance of layers buried out of necessity A laundry list of accomplishments Control the crisis Stage the disease Sell your soul to Words that mean nothing

I keep forgetting the things that I have felt so easily With the wind it all brushes off of me Into the holes in my teeth So I'll spend the rest of my life in structures and colors The shape of what your face used to mean In a box, laden with the ones still here Cutting palms on open trees You're on the edge of something The roots are certain, the sky is empty

There are no mistakes, only decisions The choices that you choose to make And the night that you saw them choose You described it as a "physical pain" in your spine I watched your spirit break I felt the collapse of my mental complex as my head hit my hands I would rather be alone forever than suffer "out of body experiences" It resonates in the waves of human garbage that frequent my memory Images of floating bodies, scathed, soiled Replaying in my head's airwaves So I'll just lay down In the bed I buried inside of your house A hollow hole that I have dug for myself A home that I have settled into Because I have been slipping into nothing And these thoughts are worthless As long as actions keep showing the same signs of "If it looks dead and it smells dead" It's probably dead

There is a certain way we move these chains Like a watch in a box that doesn't tell time But instead just gives it It all starts to bleed into miles that separate Or phone calls that aren't on pace Like the chemicals my grandfather gave me Disarrayed and misconstructed The wrong blend But my only vice is the will to give in To the only feeling that has ever felt (worth it) Excuseless, trying to figure what's worth keeping When I don't hate anyone else Like half as much as I hate myself It numbs in the never ending quiet that burns my eyelids Learning to learn between the lines of (I want you to be free) I want you to be free To drink in the sex and the sleaze The mud and the greed Put a gun in the mouth of the sky and just breathe Or to where I can bathe in my own conscience Sometimes I wake up in the ER with a needle in my arm Or in the back of a mangled car In the silence before the light comes But it always ends the same With a flood coursing through my veins Love is love Return to dust Love is love Return to dust
