Close my eyes.
Fantasize.
Recall the past
Where simpler times
Held me fast
And in my grasp
Contentment thrived.
I knew my way.
Night or day
My path was clear
And I could stay
All of my fears
But now these tears
They fall unchecked.
I can't steal the pain you feel
But mother
Let me mother you.
Was it ill wishes
Or was it just fate?
The suffering that takes you and makes you
Different,
But not always better.
You might be different
But I think you'll be better.
Darling, you'd better.
Take my hand.
Can you stand?
Let's leave this place.
We will span
What can't be erased.
In my embrace
Begin to heal.
I can't steal the pain you feel
But mother
Let me mother you.
Was it ill wishes
Or was it just fate?
The suffering that takes you and makes you
Different,
But not always better.
You might be different
But I think you'll get better.
Darling, you'd better.

Voice of an Angel
The hope we shared is long since dead
That ship has sailed
My course is set
For calmer seas
A path to seek
A quiet place to mend my wings
No ribbon binds me to you
How dare you try to break my dream world
She won't respond
You're not on the list
The last song was played
The nightingale sang
Here's your goodbye
It's signed with a kiss of death
Angel of music sing for me
Until I have no need for you
Anachronistic
Incomplete
A puppet girl to pose on strings
No ribbon binds me to you
How dare you try to break my dream world
That ship has sailed
My course is set
For calmer seas
A path to seek
A quiet place to mend my wings
No ribbon binds me to you
How dare you try to break my dream world
She won't respond
You're not on the list
The last song was played
The nightingale sang
Here's your goodbye
It's signed with a kiss of death
Angel of music sing for me
Until I have no need for you
Anachronistic
Incomplete
A puppet girl to pose on strings
No ribbon binds me to you
How dare you try to break my dream world

Too Close For Comfort
My lifeblood ran careless through channels made for it
Beating with pulses both measured and true
'Til heartache decided to pay me a visit
Through all those unfaithful, hated, and rued
Death came to greet me in faces unnumbered
I portioned my lifeblood out unwittingly
And each face that promised a bond in repayment
Vanished without warning, most permanently
They've drained me of Being, those miserable wretches
Killing me in the most passive of ways
I feel me and my netherworld spirit self meshing
As all of my fragments are fading away
My insides are drying, peeling, and dying
Gone is the warmth that I once felt within me
Now I am finding there's no hope in trying
I release you, my chains, to now die and be free
Beating with pulses both measured and true
'Til heartache decided to pay me a visit
Through all those unfaithful, hated, and rued
Death came to greet me in faces unnumbered
I portioned my lifeblood out unwittingly
And each face that promised a bond in repayment
Vanished without warning, most permanently
They've drained me of Being, those miserable wretches
Killing me in the most passive of ways
I feel me and my netherworld spirit self meshing
As all of my fragments are fading away
My insides are drying, peeling, and dying
Gone is the warmth that I once felt within me
Now I am finding there's no hope in trying
I release you, my chains, to now die and be free

Wednesday Night Prayer Meeting
Energy whores just like the rest.
Embodying what you detest.
Rhythm boring into my head.
I can feel the pull.
The temperature is rising.
Savage cries at fever pitch.
The conduits shake uncontrollably.
Yelling over the tribal murmurs.
Begging for attention from the almighty.
It is not new to speak a language you don't understand.
You aren't the first to fiddle with what you do not know.
Pay no heed to those who feel left behind.
Hearts break as brains can't be bypassed.
You are too busy trying to taste glory.
Your hungry bellies will never be filled.
You take pride in your dissatisfaction.
Showing contempt for contentment.
Always in search of a greater thrill.
A god who comes each time you call is nothing but a dog.
A pet who lives to serve your lust to be loved.
Embodying what you detest.
Rhythm boring into my head.
I can feel the pull.
The temperature is rising.
Savage cries at fever pitch.

You take pride in your dissatisfaction.
Showing contempt for contentment.
Always in search of a greater thrill.

A pet who lives to serve your lust to be loved.

Persevere
Consumed by perfection
I hate what I create.
Can beauty be born
By these flawed hands?
Creative conception
Derided by the Fates.
Give me a muse instead of mockery.
My efforts are not in vain
If my roots go deep
And I reach for the light of the Sun.
May I be like a tree.
I will weather the drought.
I will weather the storm.
I hate what I create.
Can beauty be born
By these flawed hands?

Derided by the Fates.

I will weather the storm.
Emerge
You want security but life won't give you that.
You want a future but your present is haunted by your past.
You want a vision,
A sign of what's to come.
You want an answer from the cosmos up above.
No frame of reference but you're asking
What it's indicative of
You want a reason
To stay or walk away.
Patience, my love.
Oh, Patience, my darling.
Leave your wings alone.
They'll dry out on their own.

Awakening
The secrets slept in me.
I even kept them from myself.
I clung to conjured absolutes.
Ignored the Oracle.
Hair of Summer.
Heart of gold.
Mace so crude.
Beasts to fear.
At birth I had an older soul
And each Spring she grows younger.
She doesn't need to use her eyes.
She's walked the path ten thousand times.
Tear away the veil of lies
And drown me in veracity.
The wind whispers my name.
I answer as if in a dream.
I've traveled long. I've traveled far.
To bless the Oracle.
Hair of Summer.
Heart of gold.
Mace so crude.

Your lovely face increases in mystery
Each time you turn towards your beloved.

Stay With Me
Your eyes are filled with wonder.
Your mind brimming with dreams.
I'd be lost without you.
Stay with me, child, stay with me.
Your heart bleeds like a river.
Your wounds are quick to heal.
I'd be lost without you.
Stay with me, child, stay with me.
Pray for the child lost to time.
Sorrow is your mother but you have your father's eyes.
A glint.
A subtle glimmer.
A rescue in disguise.
When it seems all hope is lost
Use your secret sight.
Sweet eternal heart.
Sweet caress of innocence.
Often times your death is swift
Yet you are born new with the morning.
Your mind brimming with dreams.
I'd be lost without you.

Memory
You looked into my eyes.
Put your psychedelic fingertips on my heart.
And I saw destruction.
And I saw despair in your wake.
But I said, "Goodbye" to Reason.
I said, "See you later, Lucidity."
And I thought you'd grow out of it
But poison still shines in the corner of your smile
Let me go, Memory.
Let me go.
I want to be free from you
So let me go.
Let me go.
You know you're not yourself today
As your manic mood disintegrates into dust.
You hear what you want to.
You see only what you want to see.
I said there could be freedom.
I said that the answers are computable.
You said you have so much time
But why waste the time that you've got now?
Let me go, Memory.
Let me go.
I want to be free from you
So let me go.
Let me go.
I had to let go of you.
Erase you from my sympathies and my heart.
You dropped of the planet.
I had to drop you out of my mind.
I said that I was done with pain.
I said that I wasn't a masochist.
And I thought you'd grow out of it
But poison still shines in the corner of your smile.
Let me go, Memory.
Let me go.
I want to be free from you
So let me go.
Let me go.
Put your psychedelic fingertips on my heart.
And I saw destruction.
And I saw despair in your wake.
But I said, "Goodbye" to Reason.
I said, "See you later, Lucidity."
And I thought you'd grow out of it
But poison still shines in the corner of your smile

You see only what you want to see.

Black and White
Ripe for the taking.
So succulent and sweet.
Eat the seed
Of my decree.
At harvest time
Your soul is mine.
I can't control the craving.
Lust for the essence of you.
Fattened for the slaughter.
Indulge yourself, my sweet.
I will wait.
Anticipate.
The time to taste.
The time to take.
I can't control the craving.
Lust for the essence of you.
It's one or the other.
We've bleached out the colours.
Now you have to choose.
Want to gain or want to lose?
We just want a bite or twelve.
How dare you keep it to yourself.
So succulent and sweet.
Eat the seed
Of my decree.
At harvest time
Your soul is mine.
I can't control the craving.
Lust for the essence of you.
Fattened for the slaughter.
Indulge yourself, my sweet.
I will wait.
Anticipate.
The time to taste.
The time to take.
I can't control the craving.
Lust for the essence of you.
It's one or the other.
We've bleached out the colours.
Now you have to choose.
Want to gain or want to lose?
We just want a bite or twelve.
How dare you keep it to yourself.

Seething
All that's left unspoken.
My decisions. My emotions.
The demons writhing wriggling
And trying to get out.
Diplomacy broken.
My opinions are my minions
And if you cross the lines I've drawn
Prepare to leave with scars.
My decisions. My emotions.
The demons writhing wriggling
And trying to get out.
Diplomacy broken.
My opinions are my minions
And if you cross the lines I've drawn
Prepare to leave with scars.
Formulaic Lyrics
All you have is rhythm's charm.
DAH duh DAH duh DAH duh DAH
Rhyming couplets do no harm.
DAH duh DAH duh DAH duh DAH
Don't even have to make sense.
DAH duh DAH duh DAH duh DAH
Get off of the fucking fence.

Hot Topic Harlots
Shock value.
Apathy.
Murder, Sex, and Violence.
Think you're so exotic.
So irreparably twisted.
Many went before you.
Off to dance the dance of the macabre.
You don't have their elegance.
You've got no mystique at all.

Terminus
All the knives are stained
With the blood of my dreams.
No one holds the blade tighter.
Sweet Simplicity.
End of Expectancy.
Stillborn children of my heart.
Breathless infants of my soul.
Death to the Dream.
Death to the Dreamer.
With the blood of my dreams.
No one holds the blade tighter.
Sweet Simplicity.
End of Expectancy.
Stillborn children of my heart.
Breathless infants of my soul.
Death to the Dream.
Death to the Dreamer.

Safe to Love You
The doors close
All is darkness
I stand trembling here
Waiting for you
Your eyes blink slowly
But you don't know me
Bitterness holds you
Calling you her own
Then I close my eyes and only then it's safe to love you
Aching deep inside
You're my secret
Wrapped with all my greatest hopes
Deepest fears
I keep you there for fear they'll find you hidden here
Then I close my eyes and only then it's safe to love you
Sit in the rain and soak up the sky
Like water bleeds through
You slowly seep into my core
I think of you
Then I close my eyes and only then it's safe to love you
All is darkness
I stand trembling here
Waiting for you
Your eyes blink slowly
But you don't know me
Bitterness holds you
Calling you her own
Then I close my eyes and only then it's safe to love you
Aching deep inside
You're my secret
Wrapped with all my greatest hopes
Deepest fears
I keep you there for fear they'll find you hidden here
Then I close my eyes and only then it's safe to love you
Sit in the rain and soak up the sky
Like water bleeds through
You slowly seep into my core
I think of you
Then I close my eyes and only then it's safe to love you
Falling Out With Wonderland
Childlike eyes do fade with time
I got so boring and I don't know how the spark
Inside my heart got eaten by the dark
By the dark
Coffins full of cloud-framed dreams
I couldn't measure up to greater things
I tried so hard but it didn't really get me very far
I tried so hard
Alice. Oh, Alice. Oh.
Where did all your Wonder go?
Alice. Oh, Alice.
Please just give me one more smile?
Alice. Oh, Alice. Oh.
Where did all your Wonder go?
Please, Alice. Dear, Alice.
Can't you please just give me one more smile?
There were risks I could not take
I ran to what I thought was an escape
But now I'm lost inside a world of lies and eyes and claws
Eyes and claws
In my mind's eye I can see
My inner child sleeping dreamlessly
What is that like?
A naive peace that fills the soul and warms the night
What is that like?
Alice. Oh, Alice. Oh.
Where did all your Wonder go?
Alice. Oh, Alice.
Please just give me one more smile?
Alice. Oh, Alice. Oh.
Where did all your Wonder go?
Please, Alice. Dear, Alice.
Can't you please just give me one more smile?
Oh child in me, awake to brighter things
Can't you see there is a new sun rising?
Letting go of all regrets of all my yesterdays
Today I embrace the dawn
Alice. Oh, Alice. Oh.
Where did all your Wonder go?
Alice. Oh, Alice.
Please just give me one more smile?
Alice. Oh, Alice. Oh.
Where did all your Wonder go?
Please, Alice. Dear, Alice.
Can't you please just give me one more smile?

Victory
Death came by spear and blade
Sprawled across the fields they lay
And their blood soaks into the ground
Those who are left will bury the slain
All men live or dead
Each must make his way home
Dedicate the victory won
To the widows and fatherless sons
Banners wave
Emblems fade
Children sing a song of honour and tears
Graves and shadow feed our regret
Can a man heal and still not forget?
Banners wave
Emblems fade
Children sing a song of honour
And their blood soaks into the ground
Those who are left will bury the slain
All men live or dead
Each must make his way home
Banners wave
Emblems fade
Children sing a song of honour and tears
Sprawled across the fields they lay
And their blood soaks into the ground
Those who are left will bury the slain
All men live or dead
Each must make his way home
Dedicate the victory won
To the widows and fatherless sons
Banners wave
Emblems fade
Children sing a song of honour and tears
Graves and shadow feed our regret
Can a man heal and still not forget?
Banners wave
Emblems fade
Children sing a song of honour
And their blood soaks into the ground
Those who are left will bury the slain
All men live or dead
Each must make his way home
Banners wave
Emblems fade
Children sing a song of honour and tears
