Blood of my Blood, I'm broken inside, By that empty gaze, frozen and freeze dried, You see there is nothing left of me, No face for bloodshot eyes to see, Shadowed by so many faces, Tainted in so many places, Heart pounding, thoughts racing, I see who you really are, A face I cannot recognize, A heart that refuses to empathize, Sinister smile, empty eyes, I see who you really are, A life of lies covered sickly sweet With tainted tries delusional love, Smells of hate and dark deceit, And what you're truly made of, Narcissistic tongue bleeding broken truths, What does it mean to forgive to you, Where in your heart does emotion dwell, Twiste

A face I've seen a million times, Yet one I do not recognize, Set in stone, cold, broken lips, Cracked mind full of bags of tricks, A lie I've heard spoken in rhyme, Trickling down through my veins over time, Burning my skin, boiled, bleeding out, Turning my body to ash throughout, Seeing ways to pay you penance, You conned me into a need for dependence, Your nails dug so deep I don't feel the pain, Until I broke the chains of your reign, A glimpse of what could have been, Sends me reeling back to when, You should have been the selfless one, Now you can't turn back from what you've done, Promises breaking that never existed,

"What We're Made Of" Lost, tossed, broken, open, Feeling my way through a crowded room, Scarred, tarred, and feathered, Wing's clipped, grounded, surrounded by fear, Bleeding, screaming to be free, I hear them screaming, Surrounds my every being, Far from here and seeing, What we're really made of, The pain I must get rid of, I see them fleeing, From their constant disagreeing, Over my petty well being, What are we really made of Can't we just agree to love? Shaken, forsaken, mistaken, Feeling my way through an empty room, Wet with tears, fears consuming, Trust in lies through hollow stares, Heated eyes and fearful glares,

"Phoenix" I can feel the pressure building, Pushing me down but I won't bow, I hit the ground running just to get away, From you, from you, A mother's tears won't help you here, I know the truth behind the lies, I've cut the strings, my puppeteer, And like the phoenix I will rise, To take back what is mine, An empty shell filled with boiling rage, Bleeding through the cracks of your facade, Can you wear that mask forever, Or will it start to fall apart, When all hope left for you is lost, A mother's tears won't save you now, I know the truth behind those eyes, You cannot control me, I will disavow, And like the phoenix I wil
