God's Cruelest Punishment
Courtroom ringed by blind man's tiles
A throat filled with blackest bile
Bloody wrists bound and stood for trial
Silence born as he stood and cried
"Please, Lord, let me die!"

And the jury's gaze meets his broken form
Scars all across the murky blue roads
Legs and torso both half-grown
Accursed mouth and demon tongue
And a heart that's been split in two
His spirit dead, he wanted that too

And the Lord spoke thus,
"Suffer more, and suffer long
For I gave you life and forgave your strife
See it through to the very end
See it through no matter how much it hurts
See it through because I have commanded you to."

"Fine," the boy said,
"I'll do it myself."

Do It
He's just a whisper in my ear
But he's the only thing that I can hear
He tells me to do something I'm afraid of
He tells me to take the risk
It might turn out badly
But it just might fix everything

He's just a murmur in my ear
But he's the only message that is clear
He's only got two words for me to heed

Life Unlived
You will never be the stranger she wants to approach
You will never be the one to make her blush
You will never be the hand she needs to hold
You will never be the man to keep her warm in bed

Oh well, oh well
You'll keep marching through this Hell
You'll keep going through hail or rain
Because you're too afraid to end the pain

You will never be her reason to smile
You will never be her perfect muse
You will never be her special someone
You will never be hers

Give it up
You can make it all stop
You know exactly how

Self-Portrait
There's a bastard looking over at me
Face like a baby, eyes like he's feral
Height like you've been stunted since birth
People just step all over you like an ant
Like a bug to stomp out without a thought
You've got a bit of whiskey dribbling from that ugly mouth
Your mother ever teach you how to wash yourself up?

Cut up those wrists like it'll make anyone give a shit
You're a fucking joke
"Why won't anyone look at me?"
Who the fuck wants to look at you?
I should've killed us in high school

No One Loves a Wretch
It's never going to get better
No matter how much I weep
It's never going to get better
No matter how hard I try
It's never going to get better
No matter how close I am to dying
It's never going to get better
No one will ever love me
It's never going to get better

Fuel for the Fire
The sun comes up and one thing's certain
I am still cursed to carry my sorrow
I'm as alone as I've always been
An empty bed and an empty heart
A life of trial and this is all I've got

I can see them everywhere
The happy souls hand-in-hand
Love and romance I don't get to be a part of
I'll never be able to give myself to someone
Nobody wants something like me

I can see them everywhere
Lips that meet, bodies that melt into each other
Beds and hearts all warm and safe and loved
I'm never going to be a part of that
I'm never going to be wanted

The sun goes down and one thing's certain
I don't want to live to see tomorrow

Dad,
I'm sorry you found me like this. It was never your fault. I knew I would do this for a long time. There was nothing you could do. I wish things were different. I love you.

1911
It's so simple
It happens so quick
One gun, one bullet, one little click
The hammer goes back, the barrel stares me down
There's a spark, a flash
The brightest thing to ever enter my life

I feel all my problems just fall away
Everything feels so far away now
Just another worm crushed beneath the plow
The world is too cruel for some of us
Sometimes there really isn't another way
There isn't any hope for a better day
Sometimes people just fall apart

I wish someone could've helped me.
