i would be dead by now without it

So I can't go the distance
I got a long way to go
I'm getting further away


fear is the worst of it all i guess?
im afraid ill go back down
but worse
im afraid im going back down regardless.
do i just trap myself with my own fear?
and i go back down because i think i will..
or is it just me
i still do believe that something is wrong
and i dont want to fix it.
because
i am afraid it would make me not an artist anymore.
even the most awful shit makes me feel alive
and even when im manic
in a manic panic
i love it.
i need someone who understands that.
i need that a lot.
i dont need a soft voice
and a pen and paper
and i dont need
brochures
and prescriptions.
i need a better way
to fake at existing
in this world of the normals.
because im not one of them.
and im suffocating.
i dont know what to do
because something
is wrong
in my head and
i love it.

theres no shame in being crazy.

i think i might be.



son of sam + camille claudel = humans i'm too deeply fascinated by

(shes scared of me, i wont tell her the secret again)

"There are other Sons out there, God help the world." gives me shivers

i feel like the walls of my brain are covered in a slick slime of the dirty secret i can feel inside.
i dont want to be bad.

she has 4.
i need one.
i dont feel dead.
im not afraid of death
i cant prepare for death anymore than i already have.
i am afraid of everything
everyone human is still afraid of death
we arent anything but animals.

i feel sick.
i feel happy.
i feel feelings.

(^this is all b.s., you know)

Basically, I wish that you loved me

no one
posts
anything
anymore
and
its depressing.

I'm not in love
I just wanna be touched

my nightmares take me apart
just to let me know
that i should tell you
everything i hate to show.
words i cant say out loud
im pathetic, but still proud.
i can only feel hate for you
and for the you in me too.
ive never wanted to hurt anyone so bad
as i did last night
to see you bleed
would give me such delight.
and they made a comment
i simply couldnt bear
and i lost it
right then and there
i screamed it all
you watched me fall
i tore my heart right open
and looked up at you,
tragic and broken.
you laughed in my face
it was so real
you'll never know
the insanity you made me feel.
that was the most honest
my dreams have ever been
no victory
no playing pretend.
they took me away
like camille claudel
the sound of your laughter
drowned out everything i tried to yell
it was the hardest thing
to wake up to
because it was
so true.
and now.
i dont know what to do.
because i know
i have to tell you.

style and honesty

have you ever had so much feeling bursting out of you that you cant even begin to express it?
i feel that way!
its beautiful.
i want to paint the world with it
but i cant even know how to start!
im crying
your mind is amazing if you give it a chance to think
your mind can make you feel pretty amazing
i feel pretty amazing
im pretty amazing
i wish you could see this
and i dont know how to make you see!
have you ever felt like this?
have you ever felt this much?
the best thing about life is that you learn how to feel more and more
i feel superior
i feel young
i feel like few understand me
i feel involved
i feel perfect
i feel beautiful
i feel like an ARTIST.
how could you not?!
have you opened your eyes?
have you looked around?
eveR?
get excited about little things!
the world is chocolate for eating!
feel good for the hell of it
move your body!
have you even thought about it!
LOOK AT YOUR FUCKING BODY.
and remember the miracle.
touch everything
smell every smell
LEARN TO FUCKING LOVE THINGS
feel it all.
feel.
go look at someone crying
and think GOD DAMN SHES BEAUTIFUl
love someone.
i love you.
someone in this damn world loves you
remember it.
be proud of everything youve said.
because it doesnt matter.
nothing matters.
thats the beautiful part.
do something that makes you happy and fuck the rest.
lay on the fucking ground and feel the carpet on your skin.
FUCKING TOUCH IT
nothing is alright.
its too late for everything.
nothing is perfect
but its all ok.
why dont other people get excited like i do sometimes?
dont you feel good sometimes?
so good you need to move?
so good you scream?
dont you ever laugh and cant stop?
dont you feel so good you have to leave?
you cant even bear it?
have i become completely insanse?
i wouldnt doubt it.
but if you feel like that too
let me know.
im not alone.

tide

i am sad all the sudden.
uhhhohhh
i know that feeling
i dont like that feeling.

you said the sun would keep the world at bay for me
by high tides will come and go as they please
for it is the moon my dear
that orchestrates the music of this pier.
and you said that green grass would make it all much better
then why, my bear, are my eyes much wetter?
and will bright summer stars at night
really keep the evening bright?
or will it all fall down my dear
like dark storm clouds on this pier?
the light house lamp cuts right through
a light so bright, but is it true?
for the light cant know when the storm will come
oh my dear, the storms already begun!
it tosses a pirates ship way out at sea
look my bear, the storms flooded me!
way out in the morning you hear the sweet call
of the sailors on deck as they recall
red sky at night, sailors delight
red sky in morning, sailors take warning.
so what color is the sky dear, id really like to know
and how much of a warning will my sky show?
because id rather not live this summer in fear
but the air is so still and the water so clear.
almost too certain, something you know
the like sounds of the morning or the caw of a crow
almost stands out, for something so routine
almost feels dirty, for something so clean.
i almost loved you, though you fill me with hate
i was almost yours, almost took the bait
i am almost sad, but im so happy though
i am almost as bright as the blackest crow.

i dont blog too much, yall just dont blog enough

i wish i could tell you how cool i think you are
but youve heard that enough
i wish i didnt lie to you
i know this will be rough
i wish i could tell you how beautiful you are
but you wouldnt understand
i wish you didnt take anything from me
but the hold of my hand
i wont tell you how i feel
because i dont want to know
dont leave me on a thread
baby, please dont go
dont sing me to sleep
because i wont wake up
i drink up your voice
dear, i said it was rough
you hurt me so
before youve even tried
youve declared no war
yet ill protect my pride
i dont want nothing from you
but the hold of your hand
kiss my scars softly baby
do you understand?

YAYAYAYAYAYYAYYAY STREP!!

Tuesday, April 13, 2010

I wish that you knew when I said two sugars, actually I meant three.

there are so many things
things
things
id like to tell you
how nice you look
how nice you feel
your very nice
are you real?
i wish you looked at me
the way i wish i could look at you
i wish i knew what to do

i wish i could ignore you
and i wish that you would talk
to me first
and we could go on another walk.

i wish you cared
about my dreams
i wish i could give you things
id never release

i wish i was better
and you were over her
maybe im the sky
and you could be the bird
you could tell me your secrets
and sing me your songs
i wish i didnt care
and that i didnt long

for you the way i do
but thats just my style
even if i know
youll hurt me in a while

never touch the flame twice
but you are just so nice

im not sad
just so you know
i am ok
ill go with the flow
but there are things i wish
wish theyd come true
and most of them
involving me and you

i dont love you
and i never will
but i dont want to be immobile
just being still
youve got the green light
if youd like to go
i think your real nice
so just let me know

peeing myself until further notice

Sunday, April 11, 2010

remember that time tom was a badass?

i do.
it was RADICAL.

i went to sleep happy
i woke up happy
your tan
your pretty
you make me smile
you make me giddy
you are a danger
you are disease
dont hurt me
dont kill me please.
dont believe me
if i say i have a plan
this is messed up
before it even began
ill do it anyway
because i like it
and i like to get hurt
i will never learn
just revert
back to stupid
stupid and happy
before it all goes down
and everything is crappy
i like the pain
and inspiration
i like the hurt
my own creation.
im the best ive ever been
and im happy now
i dont know why
and i dont know how
because of my mind?
and the tricks it plays?
a matter of time,
a matter of days.
i dont mind
i like it all
i dont care
whether i fly or fall.

it was a bangin weekend

i wish i wrote this

i will never be free
but i will smile.
i will never live here
but i might stay a while.
i will never have faith
but i might pray.
i will never be perfect
but i am ok.
i will never look at you
in the same light.
i will never lose
i will never fight.
i will never know
i will always care
it will always be bittersweet
that you were never there.
i live alone now
in my own sort of way
and i never know what's fake
and what will stay
i have no leads to take
and no signs to read
i have to tears to cry
and no blood to bleed
i have no part to play
and no song to sing
i have nothing to say
and ive lost the ring.
i am happy on my own
minus the feeling
i like the empty
looking up at the ceiling.
i like the fact
that the demons are away
and i dont need you
to keep them at bay.
i dont remember how i was
but i keep it in mind
because i usually feel
like its a matter of time
until i come down
and remember my illness
when the sun is gone
and the world goes to stillness
im always afraid
though thats no way to live
but i want to try
and i want to give
because i am good
whether i like it or not
and ill finish last
its the only choice ive got.
i realize now
that they dont understand
and i realize now
that ill do what i can
to make it easy on you
as i always will.
you drink the water,
ill bay the bill.
dont worry about it
because youve made me so much older
youve torn me down
so i can carry the boulder.
im happy now
making it through
im happy depressed
im happy blue
im happy happy
and im happy glad
im happy tired
and im happy sad.
im happy to be alive
im happy to live
im happy to breathe
and im happy to give
im happy for others
im happy for myself
im happy for pictures
and chocolate to melt
im happy for simplicity
and for self respect
im happy alone
but im happy to connect
im happy to speak
and to look at you
im happy i kept living
right on through.
im happy time passed
and the world kept turning
im happy with myself
and im happy im learning.
im happy for sun
and to go away
im happy to stand
and to be ok.

(my heart is still sad sometimes)





Well, she was precious like a flower
She grew wild, wild but innocent
A perfect prayer in a desperate hour
She was everything beautiful and different

Stupid boy, you can't fence that in
Stupid boy, it's like holding back the wind
she laid her heart and soul right in your hands
And you stole her every dream and you crushed her plans
She never even knew she had a choice and that's what happens
When the only voice she hears is telling her she can't
Stupid boy, stupid boy
Oh

So what made you think you could take a life
And just push it push it around
I guess you build yourself up so high
You had to take her and break her down

she laid her heart and soul right in your hands
And you stole her every dream and you crushed her plans
She never even knew she had a choice and that's what happens
When the only voice she hears is telling her she can't
You stupid boy

Oh, you always had to be right but now you've lost
The only thing that ever made you feel alive
Yeah, yeah

Well, she laid her heart and soul right in your hands
And you stole her every dream and you crushed her plans
Yes, ya did
She never even knew she had a choice and that's what happens
When the only voice she hears is telling her she can't
You stupid boy, oh, I'm the same old
Same old stupid boy

It took awhile for her to figure out she could run
But when she did, she was long gone
Long gone, long gone
Ah, she's gone

Nobody's ever gonna love me like she loved me
And she loved me, she loved me
God please, just let her know
I'm sorry, I'm sorry
I'm sorry, I'm sorry
Baby, yeah, I'm down on my knees
She's never coming back to me

this is heaven to me

we walked and talked almost all evening.
it was colder than it looked and dusk was upon us.
you said this was your favorite time of day.
i took that in two ways.
the twilight with the lazy bugs and dusty sun set.
or the time spent with me.
we spotted a snail on our path.
it was a pristine green little thing.
it shrank right up when i touched it.
its innocent fear made me just about as joyful as a child in the snow.
we moved it from the path and you made a little bed for it out of leaves.
you played along with my excitement and i wanted to cry from gladness.
we walked along and didn't touch.
i could smell you in the breeze and i melted like lazy flowers on a hot day.
i breathed in and out and felt like i wanted to touch you.
i didn't and i just looked up at you instead.
i saw blonde mixed with dwindling sun.
i looked away though i wish i didn't have to.
we walked fast like we had somewhere to be but all the while we were just retracing our tracks.
we walked all around and i didn't notice the blisters until i got home.
i didn't want to go every time we passed my house.
i took all cues from you though and our time ended.
you left me in the driveway and that was the first time it had felt awkward.
i feel like i want more.
more sun.
more air.
more talk.
more walk.
more smell.
more touch.
more time.

“Love is the exchange of two fantasies and the contact of two skins.”

the car smelled faintly like propane and rubber.
his hands were dirty on the wheel and his shirt was sweat soaked.
i got in and noticed how little i liked the feel of the car upholstery.
i felt sticky and tense and unfocused.
i road the waves of air with my hand as we drove.
i noticed the force of air and the rush rush rush feeling on my skin.
i breathed in propane and pollen.
it was near dusk now and we didn't talk.
i felt the sun still hot on my legs and i thought about vitamin d.
the car stopped and was still.
i remembered life and awoke.
i hopped out and waved good bye.
the feeling on the door was not as cold as i expected.
i felt gravel on my toes and the air was cleaner here.
i tip toed through the grass and let it cool my feet.
i circled around the house as the sunlight diminished rapidly.
i saw you and felt my bag slide off my shoulder.
i liked the scratching feeling down my arm.
i hopped in the hammock with you.
a kind of waxy trampoline feel.
we didn't speak and you just let me in my place.
i though about the difference between your skin with clothes and without.
you stroked my arm.
i thought about how we were both feeling the same touch at the same time.
i thought about the comfort of touch.
i thought about the connection between two people through skin.
i thought about fingerprints and muscle memory.
i thought about heat and air and pressure.
i thought about movement and massage
i thought about bodies and wisdom.
"there is more wisdom in your body than in your deepest philosophy"
