Description There's a lightning storm each and every night
Crashing inside you like motorbikes
We toss and turn, sleep so loud
Grind the teeth in our
Our empty mouths (are empty...)

There's a forest fire burning bright
Spreading quickly towards our last rites
Nowhere to run, pointless to hide
Just lay there and scream, pretending to try
Pretending...

Intending to burn, pretending to fight it
Everyone learns faster on fire
Things took a turn, lost all desire
You live and you burn
You live and you burn

This impending doom is left deep inside
And it's haunting you each and every night
Like starving wolves counting sheep
We close our eyes, pretending to sleep
Descending...

Intending to burn, pretending to fight it
Everyone learns faster on fire
Things took a turn, lost all desire
You live and you burn
You live and...

Like hell we are anxiously waiting
Like hell burning silently strong
Somehow we fell down by the wayside
And somehow this hell is home

As we burn, pretending to fight it
Everyone learns faster on fire
Things took a turn, lost all desire
You live and you burn
You live and...
Like hell we are anxiously waiting
Like hell burning silently strong
Somehow we fell down by the wayside
And somehow this hell is home
Right now, this hell is my home
"Burn" by Alkaline Trio (One of my fav songs evarr)

This is a vent I forgot to finish from like, a week ago. So I completed some shading and well, there it is.

If we scream in our homes and no one is around to hear it, did we make a sound?

Ms paint agaaaaaain. Of course. lol

Well this was vent art I hadn't finished XD So I decided to finish it cuz I'z didn't want it to collect dust.

That's okay, if I just turn on the Underworld soundtracks all the horrors come back to me.

Hehe thanks <33

And yeah, I'm alright for now. There's been so much family drama going on, and I'm so worried about many different people (including you Kro, I feel so terrible that I can't be there to support you) I know online and around me. I feel obligated to save people, like my favorite cousin Donny, who just keeps sinking into a deeper depression no matter how much I try to encourage/reassure him. One of my best friends is moving away to Maine for college this summer. Plus there's a ton of school drama and stuff I'm stressing over, I've been going through some exams now and I have to do project upon project from different classes. I'm trying to quit drinking for the sake of others around me, but that's not going to just magically stop.

There's so much more and I feel out of control sometimes. Lately I have no energy and will nap for hours but besides that, I somehow manage to contain any violence within myself. But it will burst someday, no doubt.

Sorry for rant. xD It feels good to talk about it sometimes.

Oh my dear god D:
I wish I was there to support you ;m;
I can bare the fact somewhat like a family member died without my notice. Of course, yet another will die..

YOU
KEEP
your chin up now ;u;

Come on Xilas, you're better than this D:
It's okay, letting out everything ish good ;u;

Yeah, I know being strong now is important. Sometimes I don't "practice what I preach" when it comes to this sort of thing, but sometimes if I just sit in the dark and think for a while I get myself back on track.

Oh Kro, it's like the world is against us sometimes. xP lulz

THE WORLD
IS ALWAYS AGAINST US

we all knew about it and we must stand and rebel against them!

Why not try and meditate? ;u;
