Seven Deadly Ex's

I'm going to break every heart you have
Until there's nothing left
I'll make you cry every single time
Until I've wished myself to death
I'm going to make it so that you never forget
It was you who broke my heart
I'm going to make it so you'll always regret
That you made this your final threat

You'll never feel anything I feel
Because you've closed yourself off from it
You'll never understand anything I know
Because you've chosen to ignore it
You want to leave me behind for some stupid little boy?
And you know I'll never let you
But love makes a lousy weapon
Because you'll only ever hurt yourself

I'm going to break every heart you have
Until you run out of extra lives
I'll make that stupid boy of yours
Die every day inside
I'm going to make it so you'll never believe
Love will exist for you ever again
I'm going to make it so you'll never forget
That I'm all seven of your seven deadly sins

You'll never see anything I see
Because I will no longer let you
I’ll never be anything like you
Because I will never leave
You want to break our sacred trust for some stupid little boy?
You know, in truth, I could never stop you
Because love makes a lousy weapon
You only ever hurt yourself

The Curse of Infinity

I want to reach for the stars
But I know they are forever beyond my grasp.
I don't spread myself too thin
Because simplicity is my goal.
My happiness has deep roots,
And my love ever-encompassing.
I would rip time and space apart for a sacred heart
And would use my power foolishly
To save the unworthy and ungrateful out of a faint hope
That they would even begin to notice me.
 
I would be a rather failed god,
Damned by her humanity
And forever tethered to mediocrity.
I am a tragedy, a comedy, a sonnet and a song.
I am too vengeful to be gracious,
But too forgiving to be cruel.
I am, at best, mortal and finite,
Limited in resources and vast in dreams.
What I wouldn't give to have the power and awareness of a god,
If only to become at peace with the multiverse.
But I know such power would be used foolishly,
And thus, why I am so denied.

This is the curse of Infinity.

The Despised Divine

I hate every day that I’ve failed to burn you in effigy
Oblivious to the tune of your lifestyle’s melody
Lyrics in the trees that hang so low that they mean nothing at all
Obsequious to you

Interpreting the wanton speech of your lyrical extremes
Clouded by illusions rising from waters like steam
Creating the rain clouds meant to drown the whole of time
Obfuscated by you

I’ve breathed in the wartime air beneath your liar’s smile
Coughing up the fires of desolation in my wake
It’s only fitting that I turn my rage to the despised divine
Obliterating you

Inspired By A White Stripes Song

Suffocated in a wounded soul
As I make my way down to Mexico
Meg White is breathing down my back
As Jack sings a song of Jericho
Not sure what I’m doing here
As I've never done the fame thing well
A bus ride to the Pearly Gates
Might as well be a bike ride to Hell

I fortified my southern wall
Just to keep out all the invaders
Put an ocean between you and me
‘Cause you act like a bunch of first graders
Oh, I’m sure I could tour the world
Play all the bars and finally make it
But I swear to God as my witness
That I will grow to despise my biggest hit

I don’t want negative attention
For things I do just for fun
I’m not a monkey on a leash
You can just parade out to everyone
I alone say how I’m going to play
And everyone else can kindly piss off
I’m hardly the kind of superstar
That won’t make you take a taste of Molotov
