In a state

your shame is never ending
just one psychological drama after another. 
you are guilty and how you ever entered into this life
God only knows

Healthy living

All I want is to drown in you

Will you spend your life with me
and stifle me
I know why the caged bird sings
I know why

So much brighter than the rest

Excuse me, sir, do you have a light?
I know that I can be dark
But that’s what makes us brighter than the rest
Who’d think a weight like this could make you feel blessed?
Or a lack of serotonin
That shakes your brain
Till nothing’s left to rearrange
- Haley Bonar, Called You Queen

What can I do if she's lost?

Thinking/dreaming/hoping

She'll never forgive you but she won't let you go - oh no
Don't look back into the sun
You've cast your plans but you're on the run
And all the lies you said, who did you save?
But when they played that song at the Death Disco
It started fast - but it ends so slow
And all the time it just reminded me of you....
- The Libertines, Don't Look Back In To The Sun

Lonely

Who else is going to love someone like me that's marked for death?
Who else is going to be with me when I breathe it all?
Who else would take your place and hold and keep me safe?
Who else would ever stay?

so I keep you by my side
I will not give you to the tide

On memories

I don't want another rock
to hang about my neck

I see bedecked
in dead stars

Night falls

Do you miss me, miss me, darling?
God knows I'm missing you
I can see two worlds colliding
That's what the sickness brought me to
