I know how to lower the cost,
Give them that which is already lost,
Form years like man from clay,

A place for new and old memories to stay, 
Form them that I might find a way

Your eyes like Christmas, they dully glow, 

As we walk through fields covered in snow, 

Born in this world to violent hands,
Wolves to feed on less demands


Tell me, tell me, if it is true,
 If you can be everyone at once,

With broken legs you can learn to walk,

I swallow oceans, and still I thirst, 

I never meant to ask it first  

If we were raised to become our parents, 

Mistakes we've made and can't undo,

But you knew we'd tell the open world,
Of our passing joys and lingering pain,
The moon will turn to blood above,

And we fought the world, darkly loved,
Or unloved, rebellious wretch,

Pour over me,  or ontop of me, 
Silently filling my empty veins,

Punching holes in between stains

And I couldn't help you, child, 
Though you never look for fault,
The death in your heart, I couldn't define
A death to match the murder in mine,
But I am just far enough to doubt.

I make bad memories, bad memories because,
These feeling won't sleep, and now unloved,  

I search for a cure, the disease may not exist,
It's all made up for you,
Like the bed in which you were meant to sleep,
But will never use willingly 

I remember the snow falling over crowds,

Slowly falling, bullets through paper dolls,

You were there, and together we were three,

They walk through walls, as well as human beings,

Punching holes through minds and hearts,
Neither revieling nor conceiling anything.

Mirror Adore

Wishes and prayers do not cure

I've tried them in secret to keep this pure

My black star failing,

Dear mirror adore,

Show me perfection never more.

I woke from a nightmare in the lowest of light,

In waking no comfort, in seeing no sight.

To break the silence, it wasn't your face

In the shards of glass, held helpless in place.

With no one in control, you've no one to blame

And you can't, with closed eyes, reflect my shame 

I'm lying still this night, it feels like sleep

And I won't stop you if you want to leave

But if you want to stay a while,

Run with me if you've long been afraid

Run till you're too lost to be lonely

And for a second only, I would try a sample

A dull taste, if death could be tasted

There, through the eye of the needle,

Silken threads run through my neck,

Like the blind leading the blind,

And I swear, my closest friend,

Whatever happens, 

However deep the hurt,

I will always be here,

Empty, breathing dirt.

As bitter as the moth flys into the fire,

Days are becoming shorter,

Dear mirror adore.
