- Adrift
I lost sight of the raging waters
Below the surface where I lay
Fractures slip like ghosting fish
Below my fingertips
I watched the days in proud procession
Upon the icy pools above
And seen the stars like distant fires
That follow each day through
- Birthday
Roll out of the bed
Look in the mirror
And wonder who you are
Another year is come and gone
Today is your birthday
But it might be the last day of your life
What will you do if tomorrow is all gone?
- Cruelty
Mother of motion, the eyes can't capture time,
falling emotion, the blind now lead the blind,
we commit indiscretions, and omit our sins from sight,
in a world of intangibles, too many things seem right
No hand to scribe of sinking sickness I have seen,
no face to judge until you've been the monster I have been,
to hunger is noble, where beauty is silent sleep,
- Deception
She cries, children often do
When they're cold, and hungry too,
Come closer, look deeply in her eyes
So delicate, quite unlike her smile
Life clinging backwards,
In the fall of dread confusion,
Still this silence gnaws upon your fingertips,
- Eye Of The Storm
The trials you now are facing,
they are not greater than your will,
for there is nothing under Heaven,
you cannot overcome.
- Go Away
falling together in the cold grass holding hands
on the hill side watching stars descend.
forever seems like just an empty promise
we spent so long ago
but we were younger then.
each sour word
sounds so absurd
- Hanged Man
Call the card
left to lay
just a path
against our future days
lay direction
read the face
understand our crooked ways
- I shot tomorrow
Bring em back on the dead feathers
We once left for the falling birds
Bring them back all of the others
Someone fed them some holy words
I stand rigid and stony
At the hand that holds the sky
Tight out spell me the money
That leaves out of your lies
- Insomnia
Insomnia
you're lying awake
the room is different
the walls dissolve
replaced by sky
horizon blackening
twilight beckoning
- Leave me alone
leave me alone - I'm a freak
leave me alone - make it easy for yourself
everywhere I go they all stare
I don't understand why they care
they stare at me all in black
and when I turn they stare at my back
all these things can't
all these things don't
- Marilyn, my bitterness v2.0
I don't understand
how you've done these things to me
I cannot comprehend
your lack of loyalty
For you i would have shaken down
the heavens from the sky
But it seems my love was stronger than
- Perfect
It's getting difficult
Each moment here alone
And it's getting dark outside
And stranger here without you
But I see a firefly
Glowing in the summer sky
Like bright confetti
Burning in the night
- Purgatory
I see you watching
looking back at me
these hellish eyes
they are not mine
I see the blood and saliva
dripping from your tongue
did the angel fall?
when was this monster born?
- Sleepwalking
Life detaches
much less loved
a taste familiar
but watered down
and each day passes
into the next
like television
flickering unseen.
- Solus
and so it happens.
my thoughts grow meaningless and forgotten
just the colors of a faded dream
left out in this rain to bleed.
Life gets confusing
prayers draw darkened in the course of my life
and I know that just to ask the questions
it takes courage & resolve-
- Winterborn
Dry your eyes and quietly bear this pain with pride
For heaven shall remember the silent and the brave
And promise me they will never see, the fear within our eyes
(my eyes are closed)
We will give strength to those who still remain
So bury fear, for fate draws near
And hide the signs of pain
