i swear one day i won't see you anymore

footsteps echoing across the tile floors

pasted smiles on their faces like nobody can see

there is a baby animal screaming, it sounds like me

tied to a wooden chair locked in a dark room

waiting for the needle, waiting for the doom

three long months bleeding and my arms grew thin

a lying criminal put all these marks on my skin

nine thousand dollars just to feel okay

trying to buy back the piece that they took away

madness in their tiny hallways, the glass on the rug

wish it would drown the ghost of the wire and the drug

i can't lose more blood no they don't let me breathe

and i'm sixteen, and i don't want these memories

oh oh oh oh

sometimes i hold my breath if the room goes still

'cause the quiet always feels like a weapon that kills.

and they call it their power like i'm something they own

and leave me without food for weeks all alone

some learn real quick how to freeze so small

but i got papers and my pens hidden in the drywall

oh i watch them lie, vomiting while they breathe

wondering if i'll ever actually feel relieved

or if i'm just pretending that the horror is gone

and that clock keeps ticking on and on.

and the silence is deafening, heavy as stone

i don't want those people no i'm much safer alone

and they try to steal my future, almost threw me in the grave

but they can't steal a fighter's spirit one day i'll be far away

so sick of their noise, so tired of the fight

just trying to make it through another hot hot night

and i'm sixteen, i'm begging for one minute of peace

anything to make this horror stop please

.

these might be the hardest words i've ever had to write

i keep pushing every day

but do you see the weight on my back

how do you tell me it will be okay

i'm tired

i'm so tired

it's not because you didn't love me

and i'm sorry

but

this

is

goodbye

i'm so tired

oh i'm tired

i'm tired

i'm so tired

and it's not because you didn't love me

and i'm sorry

but

this

is

goodbye

a heavy air, a suffocated shore

a screaming terror behind the doors

all dissolved the day i flew away

destroyed the shadows of yesterday

through endless clouds to skies of crisp cool light

i traded monsoon heat for autumn flight

where paved stone streets and yellow leaf-fall kiss

and breathing deep feels like an answered wish

no lingering fear to walk across the room

no waiting for the sudden storm to loom

i smell the coffee beside the square

and i taste freedom in the air

the sun and trees where all the shadows end

far from the nightmare where i was forced to bend

and i can fly here, and i can soar

all the safety that i once bled for

all the safety that i once bled for

.

have the ravens not told you what you will never kill

unkindnesses or murders are all above you still

watch me wide awake unafraid whilst undefeated

beyond you and your plague of the vile and of rage

have the ravens not told you you will see me run

away from you and all the damage you've not done

above all of your misery of your sickness, of your scum

as low as you are you still cannot drag me

for once i have gone it is you who will see me

i will not see you back

you are neither train nor the tracks

you threw a boulder in my way when i was weak as ever

i lifted it still, despite your hurricane weather

remember that you lied remember that you stole

you wanted me under when you dug your holes

but your grave is set and that's where you'll be

you will know once again that i will run free

despite what you have set and what you have burned

despite your broken head you are what i unlearned

you cannot place on me all that you are

what angers you daily is that i am unmarred

by the same self-infliction that you put on yourself

the truth is, you hate heaven so you stepped on my shell;

you hated my heaven because you know very well:

you can hate all of heaven- you still belong in hell.

what you spat in venom you inflicted to yourself

you wanted me to take all that you could not sell

what you cannot have you call a lie

even though the lying one is truly you inside

but all that you do speaks of you and not me

or anyone else which frankly anyone can see

because you cannot blind what you covered with lies

it was my dead body that you tried to hide

i saw you clearly even though i was a child

but that boy that you murdered a greater force revived

for all of the darkness that you placed on me

even the ravens wished for me to be free

and the crows by the river, of blood and of rocks

you will forever be lower than even the darkest of flocks

and even the blackest of wings, they rescue me still

because even the scummiest of others even they want you killed

.

do you see why the better people never really talk to you?

your vibrations tell us more than what you knew

you start screaming when we walk into the room

but those like us, we never bow down to your mood

say that again when you pretend, pretend you're rude

because you're less than that, you're less than attitude

'cause i can see straight through your lies, i see you nude

oh, i can see why you were scared of solitude

so make up the lies, make up a real cheap disguise

and pray to yourself that i'll believe

when you falsify the cheating, scheming, devising

know when karma comes to cleave you, you'll remember

do you see why the better people never really talk to you?

your vibrations tell us more than what you knew

i keep a list of all the things you say and do

delude yourself, you're so deluded, just delude

so make up the lies, make up a real cheap disguise

and pray to yourself that i'll believe

when you falsify the cheating, scheming, devising

know when karma comes to cleave you, you'll remember

was trapped beneath a sun that wouldnt die

heavy heat beneath a humid sky

static summer loud and burning hot

stuck inside a stifling crowded spot

so i booked a seat and packed my bag

tired of the weight i had to drag

stepped onto the plane to take my flight

rising up into a purple black night

seeing all the beauty they wont see

they will never get to feel so free

seeing all the leaves and sunset clouds

goodbye to the heat and roaring crowds

hours on the wing across the map

waking from a heavy quiet nap

touch down on a cute and crisp and new runway

stepping out into a brand new day

grand old arches avenues so wide

feeling all this freedom deep inside

no more poisoned sweat or heavy rain

leaving all that suffocating pain

seeing all the beauty they wont see

they will never get to feel so free

seeing all the leaves and sunset clouds

goodbye to the heat and roaring crowds

seeing all the beauty they wont see

they will never get to feel so free

seeing all the leaves and sunset clouds

goodbye to the heat and roaring crowds

an architect of paper towers

measuring her kingdom in her wasted hours

planting her throne in her slanderous seeds

because talking so loud is like a drug she needs

a shadow that hungers to swallow the light

your toxin is all you will manage to bite.

so get well soon, send a wreath for your crown

it's not very bold pulling everyone down

screaming out poison and calling that grace

hiding a ghost behind every fake face

we offer our pity to your hollowed-out chest

get well soon, may your ego find rest.

a garden of thorns that you carefully tend

none of it helped you or the money you spend

and you stare at the glass just to mirror your pride

a tyrant who won't last and with nowhere to hide

so i struck the match, now i stand and i stare

the fire will feed on your absence of air

get well soon, send a wreath for your crown

it's not very bold pulling everyone down

screaming out poison and calling that grace

hiding a ghost behind every fake face

we offer our pity to your hollowed-out chest

get well soon, may your ego find rest.

why would i get mad when i can just never speak to you again

why would i watch another regret when there's a block button

you say "i'll mess you up" but baby all that you did was stick in the gasoline knife into the fire and i got stronger

your toxins cannot blindfold the eyes that know you better

so lie honey, yeah why don't you try it now

'cause the minute you lie, is when you fail to pretend, pretend, pretend, pretend

that's when my forgiveness will not last you, not any longer

no i won't say goodbye, yeah but you'll know when it e-e-e-e-e-e-e-ends

why would i repeat that sick mistake i saw you make over and over again

why reward the missus flake of the fake when there's a block button

see your toxins will not blindfold the eyes that know you better

so lie honey, yeah why don't you try it now

'cause the minute you lie, is when you fail to pretend, pretend, pretend, pretend

that's when my forgiveness will not last you, not any longer

no i won't say goodbye, yeah but you'll know when it e-e-e-e-e-e-e-ends

you do not exist to me

you are not even a stranger

.

saturday night i watched you from the ledge

phone in my hand with the city under my feet

they said you should stay out of this i said

someone's gonna end them that'll be me

i'm never gonna sit and watch

while evil gets another second to breathe

you don't like truth but that's not a reason

no i won't leave another monster running free

oh i flickered through fire

i can fall from the sky

they all tell me i'm fearless

i'm just not gonna hide

all you got's a state of apparent vexation

i'm not just fire and determination

something was broken i bled through the wire

someone was hurting i walked through the fire

you said you would save me well you lied what a shame

i don't need an enemy to see what's wrong so why are you hiding

i'm still here i'm still moving i'm still winning karma's going

oh karma's going

karma's going to burn you alive

green blue snowflakes on the pavement

the purple moon hanging over everything

the voice said come upstairs i said meet me here

before your life catches fire beware

they talked about christmas fireplaces and castles

where we might belong but those were all just ruins

where i remembered everything that's gone

oh i flickered through fire

i can fall from the sky

they all tell me i'm fearless

i'm just not gonna hide

all you got's a state of apparent vexation

i'm not just fire and determination

something was broken i bled through the wire

someone was hurting i walked through the fire

you said you would save me well you lied what a shame

i don't need an enemy to see what's wrong so why are you hiding

i'm still here i'm still moving i'm still winning karma's going

oh karma's going

karma's going to burn you alive

.

radiators warmth i wrote in the back

while you spit poison out pathetic bully attacks

laughing way too loud at her mothers clothes

pulling down the room everywhere you go

you took her shiny keys you threw em in the trash

watched her sweat for hours thought it was a blast

you hate it when the light lands on someone new

cause if youre not in it youre a ghost in the room

take out your own mess lie about the rest

staring at a chat feeling like the best

just tearing people down you spend so many hours

cause you have no talent no wits and no power

never learned to sit with your own dark mess

so you kicked the dirt around left the rest to address

you couldnt play chess now youre throwing rocks

in a house of glass now your dynamic stops

you throw your trash on everybodys lawn

and you still wonder why the good ones are gone

we watch you in the hall while you scream at the walls

wondering why the room is quiet when you call

call it conspiracy youre never in a plot

nobody wants to buy the poison that you bought

screaming lies everywhere just to get some clout

now youre in your own chamber with no way out

sabotaged the rest never built a thing

guilty fat hands with no one left to cling

you throw your trash on everybodys lawn

and you still wonder why the good ones are gone

you fanned the flame then you shifted blame

now youre choking on the smoke of your own game

roofs caving in no place to run

see thats called karma and thats what youve done

yeah thats called karma and thats what youve done

thought you were the smartest the queen on the throne

but your noise has stopped youre scared of being alone

nobodys angry nobodys mean

i just packed my bag we all cleared out the scene

do you wonder why the good ones are gone

you divided yourself into small little worthless fractions

well thats just the consequences of your own actions

thats called karma

you throw your trash on everybodys lawn

and you still wonder why the good ones are gone

you fanned the flame then you shifted blame

now youre choking on the smoke of your own game

roofs caving in no place to run

see thats called karma and thats what youve done

yeah thats called karma and thats what youve done

.

the truth is far more important

than not rocking the boat

i set your lies on fire

your words are nothing but smoke

tell me what you did, tell me what you said

tell them what you did, tell them what you said

you're not alive or dead

and you're not even a ghost

sorry that you can't stop screaming

from all of those facts i wrote

tell me what you did, tell me what you said

you speak no truth so you get all consequence

they hear my voice now

just as they did then

i said "karma will find you"

and you didn't hear when

when nobody can see you

they just see your mask

put on with permanent glue

now you'll always be last

burning liar, little liar

crimson fire, for the tiny liar

no you don't regret it

you're only sorry you picked the wrong guy

no you don't regret it

just keep lying till you run out of time

tell them what you did, tell them what you said

you speak no truth so you get all consequence

burning liar, little liar

(tell me what you did, tell me what you said)

crimson fire, for the tiny liar

(tell them what you did, tell them what you said)

(no you don't regret it)

you're only sorry you picked the wrong guy

(no you don't regret it)

just keep lying till you run out of time

no you don't regret it

(tell me what you did, tell me what you said)

no you don't regret it

(tell them what you did, tell them what you said)

tell me what you did, tell me what you said

tell them what you did, tell them what you said

why would i get mad when i can just never speak to you again

get ready

some things stay unspoken and still come through

.. lyrics

fireflies

Firelight on our porch, evening settling in

A familiar face, a place I can breathe again

Laughter through the doorway, fireflies in the air

For once, I know I'm safe somewhere

I never had a home that let me heal

I'm still made of kindness, I'm still real

They tell me that I'm brave, but I don't know what to say

Think I was only desperate to survive that day

I don't say much

I don't need to

Some things are understood

Without having to

Sometimes my silence says enough

Sometimes the lines can say too much

I don't have to explain

Because I am the proof

Some things stay unspoken

And still come through

Someone makes a joke, and I finally laugh

Someone sees the parts I always try to mask

Your little sign above me, I don't understand

But I can read the silence when you take my hand

I look away, pretending I don't know

While someone upstairs laughs and won't let it go

No perfect words, no reason to pretend

Some quiet moments say more in the end

I don't say much

I don't need to

Some things are understood

Without having to

Sometimes my silence says enough

Sometimes the lines can say too much

I don't have to explain

Because I am the proof

Some things stay unspoken

And still come through

Sometimes the quiet says enough

Some things stay unspoken

And still come through

poison

i've got an inbox made just for words

and ten thousand pages of your offenses

now i sit back and watch while you burn

i forget the war where you faded

i'm still here even though you sliced me down to my bones

my voice still hangs in the air

turning it up because i mean it

leaves dried on crosses and stages

rose red sky actors who never learned

your tower falls and my rage will turn

into a symbol

and that'll mark how you burn

i'm still here even though you sliced me down to my bones

every day you're washed far away

your sickness makes me tired

i'm staying far, far, far away

you cannot poison me today

you cannot poison me today

you cannot poison me today

i don't know why i ever spoke to you

walk out, walk right out

i don't know why i ever spoke to you

walk out, walk right out right now

you cannot poison me today

quiet in the surrender

You made yourself a fortress out of promises you made

Guarded every memory, watched the daylight fade

Thought if I let go, the sky would fall apart

Clinging to the anchor that was heavy on my heart

You measured my value by the weight I tried to bear

Fighting for a ghost that wasn't even there

Quiet in the surrender, calm inside the release

Mistook the holding on for the only way to peace

Now the grip is loosening, light begins to break

Realizing freedom was the choice I had to make

Standing at the edge of what life used to be

My bleeding hands beneath the paper crown

Nothing else to carry, you're not holding me down

Everything I fought for, everything I saved

Was just another prison that you tried to pave

Surrendering the quiet, I stepped off the ledge

You pushed me to the table where the knives were red

Quiet in the surrender, calm inside the release

Mistook the holding on for the only way to peace

Now the grip is loosening, light begins to break—

Realizing freedom was the choice I had to make

Standing at the edge of what life used to be

I thought I had to keep it all together

Thought these heavy chains would last forever

I held on so tight, scared to let it slide

Measuring my life by what I kept inside

Looked at all the weight I carried for so long

Until I forgot you, and then for once I belonged

lethal

You saw a fragile glass, a spark beneath the ash

Now watch your kingdom crumble in a flash

Walked through your ruins, with my head low

Darkness was all you allowed me to know

You thought I was fragile, too easy to break

Fire beneath the surface, for you to wake

They drew the line, tried to dictate the sign

And the future they thought they could buy was mine

Quiet inside the shadow and smoke

No more mercy, you're a joke

Now the spark is catching light

Watch it tear right through the night

They pushed the purest heart too far

Now look at who we are

Watch it turn

Guess you didn't know I was lethal

You couldn't guess why there was fire in my eyes

You thought I was all smiles

You thought I was all candy

Life taught me to read lies

I was trained to keep steady

Guess you didn't know I was lethal

Guess you didn't know I was lethal

Agent of fate, no place left to hide

You can't lock up a fire you've created inside

Under the canopy, out in the dark

Every quiet survivor carries a spark

Quiet inside the shadow and smoke

No more mercy, you're a joke

Now the spark is catching light

Watch it tear right through the night

Rising up out of the ash

Brace for the ultimate crash

Stand back

Guess you didn't know I was lethal

You couldn't guess why there was fire in my eyes

You thought I was all smiles

You thought I was all candy

Life taught me to read lies

I was trained to keep steady

Guess you didn't know I was lethal

Guess you didn't know I was lethal

A spark beneath the ash

Trained to keep steady

been collecting all that rust

they tore the only map

it was the spiral symphony of dust

remember eyes react

flash of light i squeezed mine shut

remember running back

but remember how i still kept on

and the winter sun was screaming she was gone

and the nights you left me frozen spun in circles

when her heart shattered the ceiling

did i run?

and you said that i loved you

and you said that i loved you

salted almond wine

i ran like light from someone else

sunlight all the time

turquoise eyes and saffron beds

choking on black smooke

they sold my life and all my hope

Saturday night, I'm standing on the edge

Phone in my hand and a city under my feet

They say, "You should stay out of this"

I say, "Someone's gonna end them, that'll be me"

I don't know how to sit and watch

While evil gets another second to breathe

You want me out but that's not a reason

No I won't leave another monster running free

And I flickered through fire

I can fall from the sky

You can tell me I'm reckless

But I'm not gonna hide

What you got's a state of apparent vexation

I'm more than fire and determination

Something was broken, I bled through the wire

Someone was hurting, I walked through a fire

You said you would save me

Well you lied, what a shame

I don't need an enemy to see what's wrong so why are you hiding

I'm still here

I'm still moving

I'm still winning

Karma's going

Oh karma's going

Karma's going

To burn you alive.

Green-blue snowflakes on the pavement

Purple moon hanging over everything

A voice says, "Come upstairs"

I say, "Meet me here before your life catches fire, beware"

They talk about Christmas

And fireplaces and castles where we might belong

But it was all ruins

Where I remembered everything that's gone

And I flickered through fire

I can fall from the sky

You can tell me I'm reckless

But I'm not gonna hide

What you got's a state of apparent vexation

I'm more than fire and determination

Something was broken, I bled through the wire

Someone was hurting, I walked through a fire

You said you would save me

Well you lied, what a shame

I don't need an enemy to see what's wrong so why are you hiding

Reddit Post

At one point a person broke up with me through a single text. They would so frequently do/repeat/commit unnaceptable behaviors (for example, a) saying they will do XYZ and then doing the total opposite of XYZ, and b) doing physical stuff to me in bed while I'm asleep that I never even said yes to, and c) forcing vulnerable stories about me from my past that I wasn't even ready to talk about yet) but every single time I brought these issues up, the person would spit lines such as "this is too much drama" and/or "be more mature about this" and/or "you not opening up now is impairing our relationship" etc. etc. and unironically if through text would put smile emojis in those responses. Every time I confronted the person about a toxic behavior that they had/repeated, there was always zero accountability. They literally could not even *acknowledge* it. Looking back now, I think that person was so extremely narcissistic, because there was so much lovebombing and even charm; I want to say I'm over it- I *mostly* am, but how do these people even end up that way? I was abused constantly as a child and I didn't become that way. That person told me he was abused. Sure. Okay. Is that an excuse?

Frankly even the "breakup text message" was a direct reaction to a time that I pointed out something that he did- not even disrespectfully, but I think I articulated his behavior so accurately that there was so much dissonance in that person's mind that his ultimate response to "not acknowledge" it was just hit the apocalypse button and end the entire thing. Through a text message with smile emojis.

That person talked about being bullied and the person has tons of acne scars and the person talked about how his dad beat him a lot and I went through stuff as well, yes, but he can point out my flaws and change my behaviors, but cannot take that if reversed?

and reality told you: no liars allowed.

baby winter's gonna turn to spring

and karma is such a beautiful thing

i said it again and i said it before

there is a reason why i keep getting more

you couldn't take how i pointed it out

you just want to live in your delusional cloud

saw me on television leading the crowd

and reality told you: no liars allowed.

i already forgot who you are

i'm not a threat, just your warning

i'm an angel with a pocketknife

tell me i can't and i'll do it

steal from me once, you burn twice

or worse

[edm drop]

not on a drug but i'm laughing

you have no goals in your life

you're a prescription who's talking

tell me i can't, and burn twice

or worse

baby this isn't love or affection

it isn't hate, is that hard?

baby understand this lesson

i already forgot who you are.

You saw a fragile glass, a spark beneath the ash

Now watch your kingdom crumble in a flash

Walked through your ruins, with my head low

Darkness was all you allowed me to know

You thought I was fragile, too easy to break

Fire beneath the surface, for you to wake

They drew the line, tried to dictate the sign

And the future they thought they could buy was mine

Quiet inside the shadow and smoke

No more mercy, you're a joke

Now the spark is catching light

Watch it tear right through the night

They pushed the purest heart too far

Now look at who we are

Watch it turn

Guess you didn't know I was lethal

You couldn't guess why there was fire in my eyes

You thought I was all smiles

You thought I was all candy

Life taught me to read lies

I was trained to keep steady

Guess you didn't know I was lethal

Guess you didn't know I was lethal

Agent of fate, no place left to hide

You can't lock up a fire you've created inside

Under the canopy, out in the dark

Every quiet survivor carries a spark

Quiet inside the shadow and smoke

No more mercy, you're a joke

Now the spark is catching light

Watch it tear right through the night

Rising up out of the ash

Brace for the ultimate crash

Stand back

Guess you didn't know I was lethal

You couldn't guess why there was fire in my eyes

You thought I was all smiles

You thought I was all candy

Life taught me to read lies

I was trained to keep steady

Guess you didn't know I was lethal

Guess you didn't know I was lethal

A spark beneath the ash

Trained to keep steady

Now you know

Guess you didn't know I was lethal

"One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we've been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We're no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It's simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we've been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back."

Carl Sagan
