You try to cling to your designs
But failure finds your fingertips
And carries you away
Inevitably away
Don't fold inside
You're tracing spirals in your mind
They link together
Step by step by step forever
There's no end
I'm full of love
And fear that it's not enough

Black Hole Song

Laugh me out of the bus stop
For dotting all my "t"'s
I am visibly ashamed
I own three left-handed gloves
I don't believe in music
I just like the way it sounds
And the world travels ever faster to the center of the Big Black Hole
And we'll never get to touch the middle
Our fingers stretch until they can't stretch any more
And then they hang...
-Charles

eyes shifting, cold and sore
this world is overwhelming.
my dreams make me nauseous
almost every morning.
restless, too observant
am i safe under my sheets?
all my words are empty
never say what i mean.
what do i deserve
if i don't take what i need?
"for new wrongs, we'll lay old times"
(-Fischer, "Walden Pond for Jerks")

I want to buy my sister some drugs
I want her to think that I'm cool
I'm designing a code we can use when we text on the phone
Maybe, if she likes me
I can go to her party
But what would I talk about?
Maybe, if I go to prison
I'll get a tattoo in prison
Of the Virgin Mary

"i've had better days than this" she said
"don't fill me with your hollow dreams, it's fucking with my head"
i guess it's all my fault, that i'm a mess
like it was my choice to hate myself and feel like shit.
i'll take your advice and i'll leave this place
give you a chance to find someone else you'll just grow to hate
i'm stubborn and i'm sure that i wont care to act differently
'cause we both know there are better things for you, than me

Bitter Instrument
03:08
|

Fight like a killer
Bile from your liver
Sink like a swimmer
I felt nothing as you walked away with my bike
And I saw you start to cut my chain
And I didn't do anything
Did I turn the other cheek?
Or is that not the same?
You know me
Don't get distracted
Like another bitter instrument
Fortify my weaknesses
Die from eating opiates
I'm afraid I'm left out
Weak and slow and late now
Stop at sea and sink in it
Leave the way that you came in
But pay attention close and
Hold the tension loose and
Stepping up like you're a fool and
People will make fun of you
Fight despair forever
-Charles

sometimes i can hear him breathe deeply
i'm wasting my time
do you care enough to hear me thinking of you?
from my room
i'm getting better falling asleep on my own
my love is cursed. i don't belong here.

I had a thought about this
And then it happened
What was my intention?
I can't remember
Shut my eyelids closed
I thought that my pieces would explode
(and then it happened)
What was my intention?
I can't remember
I wish that I was the pouring rain
Running down your frame
The places and the people change
But the feeling stays the same
Love is not a feeling
-Charles

Sink into the sea
I want to lie in a loveless sleep
I want to live in a selfish dream
Where I will preside over everything

What's the matter little Weeoo
Do you wanna take the leash out
Walking over riverbeds
Getting all that shit on your head
I buried you under that rock
I will dig up your bones and your skull
That day that you left with me
I never thought we'd be on the longest walk
we'd both take on with a leash
I never told you that you were the only one
always there next to me
always there next to me
Sometimes the ones that we love
are closer than we think
I buried you under that rock
I will dig up your bones and your skull
