(ix of swords)

sorrow & insomnia

my mind won’t shut up

like a dog barking relentlessly

a hunting dog on a chain

trying trying trying to get free

into the fields where there’s game

with sleep there’s only dreams of you

sex saturated  so fucking frustrating

cuz i always wake up & they’re not true

i want to scream i want to scream i want to scream

cuz you’re gone you’re gone you’re gone

another day dawns & i feel like shit

i hate feeling like this all the time

i just don’t know what to do

(vi the lovers)

it's  getting    bad        i mean      i'm always depressed

you're       always     mad       &         even           though

we're  always  together every day   it's like that cliche

we're      so      close       &      yet     so      far      away

i mean       we've   got   this   great   thing   going     or

i      thought            we  did          my   friends  tell  me

what    a    great    couple    we    are           but     this

(problem)       i mean     i know      you don't want a kid

what   if       this     act     of    love   turns    to    hate

i mean   we're   still   together    but   i'm    not    sure

about      anything     anymore    everything     changed

that    day        what  if        we     made    a     mistake

i mean          i  don't  know  what  i  mean     i just miss

how you kissed me    &   told   me   i   was  your  queen
