Everyone I鈥檝e fucked
Calls me Em
It鈥檚 not as special anymore
It started as new
And now I don鈥檛 know
Who this number is in my phone
Calling me Em
The list of potentials is so long
She鈥檚 not the only person
Who calls me Em
But
Every person I love calls me Em
It鈥檚 a name I hear every day
He calls me Em
She calls me Em
They call me Em
And now a name that felt sacred
That fell from only one set of lips
That I would kill to hear
Drips off the mouths of people every day
It鈥檚 a magical thing
To not have to fight for the name you want
To have all people dear to you
Calling you Em

I have found more angels on piano keys than in pews I have prayed to the deities with each chord played There is a religion found deep in the sheet music When the 3/4 time signature grabs hold And the instinct to waltz overtakes the instinct to die I have found my savior through belting out lyrics Singing to an unknown being, bringing me clarity My lips press to the mic and I see the face of God Surrounded by melodies and madness Simply diving into music as it swims through my ears it feels more holy than any prayer I鈥檝e whispered Or necklace I鈥檝e counted over They don鈥檛 want you to know the magic of music The way it feels to transcend god and move free It鈥檚 within the deepest trenches of my mind Innate desires to dance and sing to find peace Please forgive my sins

I鈥檓 not sure who you thought I was
Praying at the altar
For someone destined to falter
It鈥檚 like I was set up for failure
I don鈥檛 know what you saw in us
Picture perfect movie screens
Neon lights and summer dreams
It鈥檚 just too bad it was just a facade
I don鈥檛 understand who I am
Jaded and cynical destined for pain
Loving and gentle destined for fame
It鈥檚 like you pushed me into a corner
I can鈥檛 believe how long it took
To reach inside my rib cage
To tear the words from the page
My heart wasn鈥檛 smashed the way yours was
It doesn鈥檛 feel real anymore
The madness ripping through my head
The feeling you鈥檇 be better off dead
I suppose that鈥檚 a good thing
I actually hope you鈥檙e happy now
Kissing strangers and hugging friends
Making meet and meeting ends
I hope she holds you right
I鈥檓 finally happy now
I鈥檓 running fast and breathing hard
My thoughts are not pointed and scarred
It鈥檚 quite different
It鈥檚 something I never thought possible
A life without your hand in mine
A bed without you intertwined
It鈥檚 for the best though
I think this is the last time now
That I am taken with you my muse
The idea of someone I could use
I hope I still write well
-Em

Were we always meant to betray the ones we love?
Wasn鈥檛 it Judas who kissed his savior?
Is that the truth that lies in a kiss?
Placing your lips on them
Trying to give them a gentle warning to run
If it鈥檚 true that means I鈥檝e given fair warning
To each one of my heartbreaks
Telling them with my kiss
That I鈥檒l be the one to betray them
I tried to tell them
Each time my lips pressed against their skin
My lips signal my inability to tell the truth
To commit and be honest
You saved me time and time again
Yet here I am
My lips against your neck
Cursed to betray you
-Em

I have been known to make all the wrong decisions
To cling to the railings out of fear of falling
Safety feels nice when it is only temporary
But then I look out and see adventure calling
I ignore my desire to run in the wind
Out of fear or perhaps something bigger than me
I doubt every step and I take easy paths
Is it because I believe there is something I lack
Every person I鈥檝e met is covered in glitter
It鈥檚 easy to be enamored with someone new
They seem larger than life and incapable of failure
But these people don鈥檛 have the fears that I do
The voice in my head is screaming all day
I never seem to have a moment to share my thought
How does one explain there鈥檚 a train station in their head
And the trains never seem to stay in one spot
And so I crawl back to the nest I have built
One that is filled with day dreams and dooms
That way my mind can travel the worlds farthest places
But I remain in the safety and sanctity of my room

Touch me gently
Trace my outline with those fingers that make me weak
Hold me closely
Put your foot on my neck then don鈥檛 allow me to speak
It took way too long
For me to stop trying to put thes fires out
And just walk away
Not trying to scream or to shout
You took the best of me
And added to your collection
I took the worst of you
Let me be your possession
Kiss me softly
Then make it hard for me to breathe
It鈥檚 something different
When you beg verses when you tease
Hold my hand babe
Then pull me down to your level
Grab my hair babe
Then tell me you don鈥檛 like the color yellow
Im so tired of not owning me
Doing what I want and feeling free
Stop telling me your knowing me
Is better than the me that I see

The Mourning After
Oh how I have lost you
Down deep in my soul
To the crevices where nothing matters
But the taste of your lips
Your hands on my hips
And the lie that this will last forever

Pixie Stix
Manically possessed by the idea of perfection
I run for miles sweat with smiles and attempt to shrink myself to your liking
Salads and smoothies have taken over my tongue and I鈥檓 wondering if this is what it means to be young
I cut my hair and I change my name hoping to cast light on the strange thoughts that plague me
Will happiness continue to evade me at a zero
Will I be happy with two c鈥檚
Stretching and molding a being of light I run to new cities and sketch ink into my skin
Pierce holes into ears and sing out at the top of my lungs
I鈥檒l push you I鈥檓 fun let鈥檚 sneak around
A quick easy fuck
Let me make you better pull out stretching and molding new parts of you
Is this dreamy to you yet, am I all you ever wanted did you dream of sweet clementines and how she might taste
I promise my love isn鈥檛 to waste
it as if I鈥檓 incapable of remaining true when I鈥檇 rather remain with you

I am alive because I choose to be, you are alive because you have to be
Therein lies our difference
If only you knew the rate at which I wept
Only then would you be afraid

Remaining shrouded in your sadness will not save you from your pain
Hiding in the shadows of life will not protect you from harm
So glow, breathe, live
Nothing you do will save you from this insurmountable loneliness
So let rays of sun shine from your face let flowers grow from your armpits
Feel everything this world has to offer and leave a trial of glitter with every step you take
A warrior is not always clad in metal but in kindness
-Em

You won鈥檛 find me at the bottom of a bottle screaming out the names of lovers past
For the identities they held while their lips spoke my name will not be their last
Who I was when their arms surrounded me is not who I am today
So when I tell you I do not miss you it鈥檚 because that you just could not stay
We are constantly growing and changing in the ides of long lost love
And so to miss the presence of an ideology is not the same below or above
So as I sip this blood red wine and my bloodshot eyes begin to close
Know that I don鈥檛 yell for you, the old you that I once did know

It鈥檚 not my fault I have an incessant desire to break everything I touch
I see something soft and gentle and I think how hard can I throw this
How far can I drop this
How high will I take this
How long will I kick this
And then it shatters into a million pieces
I am left amongst thousands of glittering moments, I see what was good, the beauty of it all
Blood runs from my knuckles as the shards fall to the floor
Only then have I realized what I鈥檝e done
-Em

We鈥檙e all doing horrible things to kill the sadness inside
Over indulged over compensated over stimulated
Whatever we can do to make our selves feel alive if only for a moment
A reminder of what potential this great life holds
Trying to shake the grey off of the outside of our minds
Doing whatever we can to break the molds, finding new shape in the darkest ways
It doesn鈥檛 matter how or why we just want to get rid of the sad
Alcohol slips into the crevices that grow mad with each gulp of water
Each wave of sadness carves out a new hole where once we were stronger
The smoke fills our lungs and we are finally able to breathe
We sleep and dream of a better tomorrow
A day or a night not so damn filled with sorrow
Throwing back coffee after coffee the drink as dark as our minds
We dance with strangers under flashing neon lights and our tongues meet theirs
In an effort to ward off the evils of our cortex and fight whatever it bares
Twisting and writhing with somebody new to fight the demons inside of you
We鈥檙e all just trying to get to a place where it feels okay
Do what you have to

Dancing in the streets, screaming at the top of our lungs
Being with you here, I鈥檓 reminded that life can be fun
Trying to feel your body move slowly against mine
Running around through the city, wondering what we鈥檒l find
Feel my hands on your body and the music in the air
Letting go of all the worries moving around without a care
Dance with me hold me fast and try not to let go
Because what tomorrow brings we will never know
-Em
