Suicide Notes And Butterfly Kisses (2002)



Suicide Notes And Butterfly Kisses


A Song For The Optimists
Blow the last candle out. let the was harden 
I wish I could stop crying. I wish someone still loved me 
Just breathe and focus. how can I when the air is so cold and empty 
That my lungs froze right in my chest 
I'll be honest the silver linings are getting harder and harder to manufacture 
And the smiles are so difficult to fake 
What do I have to do, or who do I have to kill, to get what I want. what I need 
Happiness is an emotion I was born to this world without,
nothing pleases me. I cannot be satiated 
Thru this toil I will breed my own distress and destroy my best hopes,
f**k up the only things I love. 
I WATCHED MY DREAMS DIE. 
I watched my aspirations crash to the ground on the backs of the angels that I've slain. 
But I meant so well, I tried to hard, gave every ounce of my soul, to what end. 
Desolation, desire, exhale, pass away. 


Dilated
Yesterday I forgot to breathe for like the 6th time this week. 
maybe it was the pink cloud strafed sky that changed my mind and brought me back 
seems like every day it's kill or be killed... 
with all this anger there is no time to inhale and progress
and catch the smell of something that you once knew. 
have you ever stopped raised your face up to the sun and screamed 
let it out exhale the pain 
that strangulates your soul, when will I be free 
my lungs take in the fragrance of remorse, what is the cost, am I living, 
if you let your lungs fill up with pain then you will drown in your own regret. 
.my arms feel so numb my heart palpitates missing a beat. 
the blood freezing in my veins. the taste of rust in my mouth. 
But today I just threw it all away 
.though the light burns my eyes I will not be blind, 
if you blink you could miss so much. please don't ever close your eyes 


Ain't Love Grand
Gutted like a pig, all you want is the world to bleed,
someone somewhere stole your desire 
The pain akin to, being punched in the throat, and stabbed in the chest 
You would rather bleed than be without her 
Gone are the tender whispers dancing in your ears 
Replaced with lackluster memories you cry, your screams play in your empty room 
It's so hard to see when your eyes are rolling in the back of your head 
It's even harder to speak when everything you say just comes out wrong 
Your bed swallows you whole as the days bleed together, torment on the lips 
Of a loved one, and if you try hard enough,
you can almost taste her, feel her pass and 
Scream, OH GOD WHY ME 


Living Each Day Like You're Already Dead
Raise up the ghosts of the dead - I won't die like them 
Push past the point of raw emotion - I will breathe 
Exist with a broken spirit - I will die complete 
Ignore what the angels say enjoy that special place where the demons speak to me 
I won't pick out the lining of my coffin yet unless I am sure that color satin is me 
Better yet go with crushed velvet, that way I'll be damn sure to enjoy eternity 
My daily life writes the eulogy, engraved on tombstone diaries,
laid to rest with the passing of time 
Seems to me that even love can die 
And the rituals, that fade away, and the roses that cease to be laid 
And to me it clearly appears that we're already one foot in a very shallow grave 
I will love with passion 
You live like you're dead 
As each day dies, are we living on to the next or passing on in the twilight 


Deanne The Arsonist
Coward, the next time you want to f**k me over stab me in the front 
Can I still see my future in your eyes,
or can I picture myself dead in your embrace 
And your cruel crimson red smile, kills 
Everyone cared about you. Why couldn't you 
Instead your greed compelled you to steal other silver linings. 
No one could have their moments free from your withering touch. 
f**k off like you're the only person that has ever cried or been broken by love 
Spare me your pity party drunk off your own misfortunes 
Wallowing in your blissful melancholy 
.can you taste my blood. You knew that this would kill me. But you carried on and on 
with your selfish sh*t., everyone cared about you. Why couldn't you 
instead your greed compelled you to steal other silver linings. 
burnt down my world, you killed my hope 
spread out the ash and walked away 
how could you just close off your eyes.
turn tail and run, you are the greatest coward 
damn right I am still pissed..
next time I see you we will see who has the upper hand 
kiss me fist. Taste the floor. Tired of your games. f**k off goodbye. 


Someone's Standing On My Chest
Starving searching this barren wasteland 
Trying to grasp being this alone 
Pleading for a breath of fresh air, someone's standing on my chest 
Dying I'm asphyxiating myself 
Break myself slave to my weakness choke on my words 
Oh I'm drowning and I feel so alone 
The lights are on and I wish I was home 
My lips are screaming pretty nothings 
My ears are bleeding for want of words, f**k words I need actions 
Hope as left me f**king shattered 
Someone's standing on my chest 
Alone would be a pleasant change from here 
How do you gauge loneliness how you ever felt so alone 
It feels like the light will never reach me here,
I am choking back my longing for shed tears 
So strangulated by my lonesome fears plead don't worry too much,
it only hurts when I breathe 


At Least I Know I'm A Sinner
Lift up a stone and you will find him,
cherish the beauty in the world around us 
Not in buildings or crosses made by man 
Judge me, f**k you, stop playing god, 
Your forked tongue prophecies,
carelessly caressing the wounds of the weak 
People like you should be crucified,
then maybe just maybe you would have an idea 
Of what you are talking about. 
My only solace is that one day,
judgment will come for the wicked, then we will see who burns 
Raise your heads, unclasp your hands,
your weakness makes me tremble 
True strength comes from within 
And we were given this life to live,
not exist under standards, set by some bullsh*t rule book 
What prayers of yours, were ever answered, by degrading others 
Spare me your biblical back peddling nonsense 
For the people that you've hurt, and the being your dishonor, 
Your fall from grace, will finally justify my means 
Judge me and now you are me and what's worse 
You are now a traitor to your god 
Tell me Judas, how does it feel to be looked down upon 
Sinners like you, should be stung up from the highest tree 
you judged me and now you are me, stop playing god 


Tulips Are Better
Crystal clear I see the rose is frail,
the thorns hid easily in its beauty, as I go to grasp it in my hand 
My heart is torn beating from my chest 
Let me be captivated, by your beauty 
Then let me fall from your grace, unto my broken knees 
Close my eyes so tightly, the tears are welling up 
You aren't worth the waste, of the salt or the water 
f**k all your false beauty, it was transparent just like your smile - liar 
Your thorns caress my flesh, crimson drops on a snowy field - liar 
I have watched you retrogress, I have seen what you've become - liar 
Please take your eyes off of me,
it's funny how fast blue eyes fade gray - liar 
And you are deceit 
Watching the sun play in your hair 
I couldn't really care, care any less about you 
Just wither away real beauty is forever in you 
Just wither away 


A Vampire's Laments
I am the walking dead heartbreaker, my apologies,
I'm happy you'll never understand what 
It's like to be trapped under six feet of solid glass,
I can see out, but no one gets in 
Screaming at this prison, I've locked myself into,
I'm sorry that I'm still breathing and that I'll 
Kill again. The loneliness is too much for me to handle.
But the taste for fresh blood, pushes me on. 
The fear of romance 
The pain of living 
The joy of sorrow 
The strength of forgiving 
I told myself the constant pain would ease the tension burning inside 
But the nights were cold and the days dragged to weeks,
I will die here alone I will die 
God help me, I'm so tired,
but in my dreams the wolves eat out my soul 
God help me, I'm so frightened,
but in my dreams wolves tear out my heart 
I used to be golden, a saint in a time of sorrow,
but then the turning came and I kissed 
The sun goodbye, don't you get it,
it's always darker in my eyes, the screams of my brothers 
Egging me on 


Lip Gloss And Black
If I gave you pretty enough words.
could you pain a picture of us that works.
an emphasis on function rather than design.
aren't you tired cause I will carry you, on a broken back 
and blown out knees, I have been where you are for a while.. 
Aren't you tired of being weak?
Such rage that you could scream. the stars right out of the sky 
And destroy the prettiest starry night. every evening that I die. alone 
I am exhumed just a little less human, so much more bitter and cold.
after all these images of pain, have cut right thru you,
I will kiss every scar, and weep you are not alone...
then I'll show you that place in my chest where my heart still tries to beat. 
aren't you tired of being weak?
Such rage that you could scream. the stars right out of the sky 
and destroy the prettiest starry night. every evening that I die 
live love burn and die
