Illusions of Grandeur

Illusions of grandeur
Are all I see
All these lies
That I’ll never be
I see the sun, I see the moon
And they’re setting on me

I live in a world 
Where my wrists don’t bleed
And my demons can’t find me
The nights are never cold
And the sun is always warm

I live in a world
Where my bones don’t ache
And the voices don’t sing
The nights I’m never alone
You’re right there next to me

Illusions of grandeur
Are all I see
All these lies
That I’ll never be
I see the sun, I see the moon
And they’re setting on me

I live in a world
Where I can stay sober
And the heights don’t call me
I can run and run run
And I can stay free

Illusions of grandeur
Are all I see
All these lies
That I’ll never be
I see the sun, I see the moon
And they’re setting on me

I see the stars, and they are fading on me
I see the sky, and its going dark on me
I see the Sun, I see the Moon
And they’re setting on me
They’re setting on me

Mr. Inadequate

I’m Mr. Inadequate 
Mr not now, not ever
On my best days, I’m average at best
I’m Mr. Your not my type
But you’ll find someone, someday,
Maybe

Trust me, I’m lying.

trebemot:

I could tell you I’m all right
That everything is fine and dandy
And those scars on my arm are from the cat
That the bags under my eyes are because 
I stayed up late doing homework(of all things)
I would just smile and nod and go through the motions
And wait to go back into the arms of those demons
That know me all to well
I could tell you I’m all right
And you would ask are you sure?
And I would say trust me(I’m lying)

Haunted Man

trebemot:

I’m haunted by ghosts of
my own creation
Apparitions of guilt
That walk the maze of my mind

The face that looks back at me
Is a dead mans face
With bags under his eyes
Heavy from the life he lived

Haunted by ghosts of
memories past 
Phantom pain seeps back in
to my tired bones and heart

trebemot:

I wouldn’t call me sane or stable
And far too often I’m sober
Haunted is better
Possessed sometimes
Weighed down by weights you will never see

or know

Striving to find a balance
between all these fuck ups that make up my facets
And these hang ups over tiny things
I try not to let them me the things I hang my self off of

No one likes a broken man
But some seem to love it
I’d like to meet someone who does
Hell I’d pass for someone who could just put up with me

For you

I crave, hunger, desire
With an unquenchable thirst
For your touch
For your love and gaze
Your gentle worlds and soft kisses
Your pale hands and curly hair and soft doe eyes
It eats at me, this want
This want destroys me day by day
Every time I fall asleep alone, and not by your side
I die more and more 
Its only a matter of time
Before there is nothing left to kill.

Arms

Wrap me in those fragile arms
Those slender arms
Those o so graceful arms ending in delicate little hands
Drive away the demons and the monsters and the voices
Entangle myself with yourself
And promise to never let me go
Never let me run away

Could I

Could I trace my fingers across the veins on you back
And follow the bumps of your spine like mountain ranges
Run my hand through the molten copper that is your hair
And get lost in the shallow sea that is your eyes
Would you allow me such treasures
So that I may die a whole man?

Ball and chain

trebemot:

I hang from church steeples
From chains made of memories
False and real
Painful and all too beautiful

I sit and ponder
At the edges of iron wrought bridges 
With the weight of my heavy heart 
Bounded to my broken ankle

I drag my heart to and fro
The heaviest of ball and chains
The links made by all my past lovers
Wrought in pain and love and lust

Links

trebemot:

Links created from broken memories
Falling out my head
Sent up from my heart

Forged in the fires 
Of misplaced romance
Of falling in love at all the wrong times

Wrought with all the pain
Love and Lust
My soul has ever seen

The tie me to this earth
Weigh me down to the ground
Keep my gaze from looking up high
