The Fruit That Will Rot Alone

Current Mood:  Cold


Pluck the fruit from the vine
Looks so beautiful and fine
Not too callow, and not too ripe;
Wet and sparkling with dew
A berry plucked, not too soon.
Once removing this great fruit,
You find another all alone
A different shade, all its own
Much smaller and less appealing
But inside you, it spawns a feeling:
Surrounded by such luscious flowers
Abandoned and forlorn it will cower
This fruit will rot alone

To Further Explain My Love For Jim Morrison...

Current Mood:  Chill

"I think of myself as an intelligent, sensitive human being with the soul of a clown which always forces me to blow it at the most important moments."

"That's what real love amounts to- letting a person be what he really is. Most people love you for who you pretend to be. To keep their love, you keep pretending- performing. You get to love your pretence. It's true, we're locked in an image, an act-"

"Expose yourself to your deepest fear; after that, fear has no power, and the fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes. You are free."

"Love cannot save you from your own fate."

"I like people who shake other people up and make them feel uncomfortable."

"People fear death even more than pain. It's strange that they fear death. Life hurts a lot more than death. At the point of death, the pain is over. Yeah, I guess it is a friend..."

"Death makes angels of us all and gives us wings where we had shoulders smooth as ravens claws."

"Where's your will to be weird?"

"I wouldn't mind dying in a plane crash. It'd be a good way to go. I don't want to die in my sleep, or of old age, or OD...I want to feel what it's like. I want to taste it, hear it, smell it. Death is only going to happen to you once; I don't want to miss it."

"This is the strangest life I've ever known."

"Being drunk is a good disguise. I drink so I can talk to assholes. This includes me."

"The most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are. You trade in your reality for a role. ...You give up your ability to feel, and in exchange, put on a mask."

"I think in art, but especially in films, people are trying to confirm their own existences."

"When you make your peace with authority, you become authority."

"Some of the worst mistakes of my life have been haircuts."

"Listen, real poetry doesn't say anything; it just ticks off the possibilities. Opens all doors. You can walk through anyone that suits you."

"Actually I don't remember being born, It must have happened during one of my black outs."

"If my poetry aims to achieve anything, it's to deliver people from the limited ways in which they see and feel."

"You're all a bunch of fuckin' slaves!"

In Wait

Current Mood:  Enlightened


Exhale these feelings that turn inside me
Bubble and burn and writhe like snakes
Numb and lifeless like a zombie
To watch you leave and join the fakes
One in the army of the mannequin
Stand so beautiful and hollow
Disappointing to see you've given in
Breathe in your pride and swallow
Collapse beneath the shit that piles
And I will waste away in waiting
For you to come home from your eternal exile
Alone and cold I will die in waiting

To You

Current Mood:  Discontent


I will give you all that I have
I will give you all of what's inside me
My very soul within me
I will pass to you all my strength
I will breathe myself within you
Until I am no more
I would give my life to save your own
I would be yours forever more
Let me light your way
Like a candle in the dark
Let the ever burning flame
Be that of my heart
Let me hold your hand within my own
Never would I ever let you go
I will be your provider
I will carry all your weight
Though I'm heavy with my own
Lay your head down on my shoulder
Let me run my fingers through your hair
Let me tell you that I'll be there
I swear to you I'm yours forever
Please say you're mine too

You're So Fake

Current Mood:  Awake


Your desperate need for their acceptance
Your fruitless desire for their attention
You've become the queen of society's infection
The tainted smile on your face
I want to make it go away
Lead them on
Let them believe you may actually be within their reach
Then push them away
For someone higher on the chain
Become the one they all flock to
Hungry vultures feasting on your lies
Spend all your time trying to satisfy the thirst
Drain yourself, and rest in an early hearse
You may seem so real
But you're so fake
One day you'll fall under the pressure
Under the pressure you will break
But I will not let you drag him in
Lead him on
Left for dead
I will not let you bury him
Or wipe the sweet smile from his face
You must realize that he is real
And you are not
You're not good enough for him
Elsewhere, you should let yourself rot

The Ice of Lies

Current Mood:  Contemplative

Trapped beneath a sea of ice
Ghosts of people you once knew
Are the only company beside you
Put your faith in plastic people
Hide behind a see through mask
But still you'll drown in your regret
And fall away into the past
Reaching for the crystal surface
You'll find solstice in your mind
Slip away into the darkness you created
You shouldn't fake this, you shouldn't fake this
The flame of truth will give one last flick
Then go out, leaving nothing but a smoking wick
The fire that could melt the ice
Was put out by all your lies

Ode To Pepsi!


Current Mood:  Crazy
Ode to Pepsi!
Oh, the sweet taste of Pepsi
Chilled by ice cubes
Fizzing quietly in this red spider goblet of mine
Oh, how I love the taste of my sweet Pepsi
Sip it slowly to make sure you don't drink it too fast
You gotta make it last
Oh, this sweet Pepsi of mine
The Pepsi I will drink until I die
As long as it never goes flat
Written under the influence of sugar high…
