Memories and Death
I’ve told people that my depression was going to be the death of me, no...... there’s more to that. I’m sure plenty of you guys already know about this and you’ll probably kill me for it, but as of now I feel as if I’m as good as dead anyway. Much like everyone else, memories are constantly flowing through our minds, but most people have an insane amount of good memories to help overcome the dark. Well, some of us aren’t all that lucky, every good memory gained is anywhere from about 3-4 bad things that’ll come and hit you in the face like a ton of bricks. Everyone’s are different, for me...

Down here in Australia
Down here in Australia
there's heaps of Poisonous snakes
That hang out in the undergrowth
especially around lakes
You gotta make sure you stomp real hard
so that they get scared off
‘Cos if you surprise ‘em mate
that’s when they get pissed off
So If you go bush walking down under
be careful ‘round long grass
‘Cos a Death adder might just jump out
and bite you on the arse
Down here in Australia

depravity in the garden
gentle is the night that stole my innocence
it descended on me in terrifying fashion
raping my purity
stealing my faith
a little girl with stars in her eyes
in a night's time they were snuffed out
my gentle god who wanted to prove
how cruel he could be
to amuse a woman, to get her into bed
time passed...
you revealed your true desires to me
I covered my ears and screamed
I didn't want to hear
I didn't want to see
you countenance is terrible
you removed the markers

Oblivion
Life is measured in time, before it eventually slips
Like the fading last light of a permanent eclipse
As dusk turns to dark the shadows grow deeper
Past the last place of the unconscious lost sleeper
It was physically formed and then linearly aligned
But soon to be nowhere, like the passing of time
And nowhere is no place, there's nothing to share
It's not another dimension of a theory or prayer
Life slips away easily in the void of the sense-less
Into a vortex beyond any 'imaginable' consensus
Not a depth or a length from an invisible...

vagabond
I sit in your car, upon your grave
If I was to mute the music, I'd hear the birds
I'd hear their wings in the wind
In the distance, light traffic hums in waves
We connect through music, so here I am again,
unhinged
Truthfully, I'm so lost, no one truly understands
I'm alone, I say I'm nothin' like you, but it's a lie
I feel you every damn day, in every damn way
I know you firsthand—
You were quiet like me-
reaching out in vague ways
Hoping someone could see-
'this is just a phase'
I know I'm stuck here ...
If I was to mute the music, I'd hear the birds

I'm alone, I say I'm nothin' like you, but it's a lie

DEAD AND GONE
I’ve apologized and crucified with words a thousand times
To your empty chair in the corner where you sharpened the dagger
That agonized and purified our star crossed lover crimes
The unknown of tomorrow
Cannot overshadow the shroud of sorrow
Hand in hand and dead by dawn
Will they find us entombed in the grave dug for two
‘Neath eternal night’s rule
Dust to dust when we’re dead and gone
I feel your ghost haunting the blackened chambers of my heart
Everyone but me knew that I was dead from the fucking start
Ensnared in your...

Cannot overshadow the shroud of sorrow

Will they find us entombed in the grave dug for two
‘Neath eternal night’s rule

A childhood lost
The bed groans and creeks beneath me
tears stain the pillow as I lay my head
My body bruised and beaten
For whatever sin I’ve committed today.
I draw my knees to my face and sob
What’s left of my soul cries out
Wondering why my mother hates me
So much she hurts me.
Your voice screeches through the house
As you pound up the stairs,
My heart beats out of my chest to hide
In an effort to save itself from you.
The punches and kicks come quick
Please tell me I’m wrong
But is that a smile on your face
When the blood...
tears stain the pillow as I lay my head
My body bruised and beaten
For whatever sin I’ve committed today.
I draw my knees to my face and sob
What’s left of my soul cries out
Wondering why my mother hates me
So much she hurts me.
Your voice screeches through the house
As you pound up the stairs,
My heart beats out of my chest to hide
In an effort to save itself from you.
The punches and kicks come quick
Please tell me I’m wrong
But is that a smile on your face
When the blood...

Mirrors
You see it in the mirror every time
The gaze of another person's desolate stare
Quiet pulse no longer heard
Neither life nor love, just loss
A reminder that this is all in vain,
everyone around you is dead or lost
Always taken by circumstances, is this life
Fragile, the mirror is always broken
A prisoner of the pain, lies, and regret
Trying to escape in pleasure
Why does it have to be so hard
Attracted to new Demons,
Their reflections hide the pain, only for a...
