Talked down with shovels and told me I’m troubled
They say they’re saving me?
But faith is what broke me
But the waiting is what woke me up
From what forced me closed
Made me lonely as it stood me up
A stranger so estranged to features in the same place
Fuck the tropes, the hero of the story, the underdog’s glory, a glow up
And the applause because in my dreams I’ve seen and felt the balloons fall
They said the floors are hard on the knees
I held my breath until I was too blue in the head
Red in the face and eyes is what all the crying will do
Sticks and stones, but my brain’s beaten black and blue
I held my breath until I bled myself of you, bled myself of you
From the green veins, I belong to the dirt
You are at page one of my story
Rolling me in my grave
Skull caved, the sockets ruined, by the stoning
My teeth all missing from my mouth
Before you know what I’m about
Before you see me
Talked down with shovels and told me I’m troubled
They say they’re saving me?
The waiting is what woke me up
From what forced me closed
Made me lonely as it stood me up
The kiss if of true love, taste of freedom
A stranger so estranged to features in the same place
Fuck the tropes, the hero of story, the underdog’s glory, a glow up
And the applause because in my dreams I’ve seen and felt the balloons fall
They said the floors are hard on the knees
I held my breath until I was too blue in the head
Red in the face and eyes is what all the crying will do
Sticks and stones, but my brain’s beaten black and blue
I held my breath until I bled myself of you, bled myself of you
From the green veins, I belong to the dirt
You are at page one of my story
Rolling me in my grave

For the sake of expression
There is no perfection
I collapse in
Don’t save me
For the sake of expression
There is no perfection
I collapse in ideals
To curse or enchant
The haunted and the blessed walk the same ground
A part of death lives in you
Day by day it grows
Sprouting mushrooms in your wounds
Nourishment lies in your ruin
Learning as the first of the flowers bloom
The universe expanded another sun and moon
Open eyes adjust to the reality, no gloom
I can’t and I won’t be saved
That’s what’s best for me
To live out my sorrow on borrowed time
Dancing and crying until I die
There’s no changing my mind
A masochist I break myself down
The sadist like you taught me how to frown
To bow so low my face touched the grown
Breaking my spirit to make you comfortable
Now I’m not one for compromising
Deconstructing me
For the sake of expression
There is no perfection
I collapse in
Don’t save me
For the sake of expression
There is no perfection
I collapse in ideals
I forgot the grain of salt
Tell me how feel
Tell me what’s real
Living to the fullest you know how
Show me like you know how, you know how
I forgot I grain of salt
To curse or enchant
The haunted and the blessed walk the same ground
A part of death lives in you
Day by day it grows
Sprouting mushrooms in your wounds
Nourishment lies in your ruin
As the first of the flowers bloom
The universe expanded another sun and moon
Open eyes adjust to the reality, no gloom
The beauty of the truth
I can’t and I won’t be saved
That’s what’s best for me
To live out my sorrow on borrowed time
Dancing and crying until I die
There’s no changing my mind
A masochist I break myself down
The sadist like you taught me how to frown
To bow so low my face touched the grown
Breaking my spirit to make you comfortable
Now I’m not one for compromising

Ophelia (Rusalka)

I come to claim my body
Recovered as Ophelia
Discovered the unknown woman of seine
Mysterious Mona Lisa smile
All the promise has left my body
Underneath my death mask
On a dark tour, a walking corpse
Living dead girl
Doll parts no longer yours
Only flowers clothe me
I did it foolishly for the dopamine
The orgasm left with my last breathe
And I’m creaking with emptiness
The thoughts of peace
In the roar of the falls
Where I lay ripples tranquility
I come to reclaim my body
From what death couldn’t expunge
The burdens of life
This river wouldn’t let me run
Like rocks tied to my feet
Down but not sunk in the middle place
From what death couldn’t expunge
Filling the blanks of my eyes
Still after the surprise
Clogging up my heart
Filling my ears
Water Lily’s jade my mouth
As the creature
Oh, dearly beloved
A lotus in the mud
I vow to nature’s isles
All the promise has left my body
Underneath my death mask
On a dark tour, a walking corpse
Living dead girl
