The Fourth Watch
My watch is a proximate
Peg-legged rhyme
A mariner's rimed hazard
Off course
Intrepid, salty, faulty
Breached, shored up, still sure
Out of league
A foundling foundering
In ebbing cobalt elysian seas
Fathomless time unmoored

Delusional
My body can't move
Running thoughts create panic

Painful Past
Dreaming about the past is like squeezing a match that has just been blown out
The fire is gone but it still burns you and causes pain
The fire is gone but it still burns you and causes pain

Impoverished Addict
Ghetto calling
So hungry
So thirsty
On fire
Calling your name
Rancid stench
Glass shard womb
The atmosphere suffocates
The voices
The fear
Monkey climbing up your leg
If the shoe fits, curl up and die in it
So hungry
So thirsty
On fire
Calling your name
Rancid stench
Glass shard womb
The atmosphere suffocates
The voices
The fear
Monkey climbing up your leg
If the shoe fits, curl up and die in it

Guidance
A man standing in the mirror yelling,
"Where were you when I needed you?!"
"Where were you when I needed you?!"

Life forever erased
I can't see my lucid dreams
Blindfolded
Thoughts abandoned in empty frames
Climbing stairs to chaos
I fall before I awake
Visually dying
Life forever erased
Blindfolded
Thoughts abandoned in empty frames
Climbing stairs to chaos
I fall before I awake
Visually dying
Life forever erased

Hate To Interrupt Your Bath
Hate to interrupt
your bath, Princess Leia.
Your services are needed.
Okay, Three-Pea-Oh.
Let the Hoth base commanders
know that I will be right there.

Nightmares
Running out of steam
Can't overcome in my dreams
Fear repressed my screams
Can't overcome in my dreams
Fear repressed my screams

Among the Ruins
Far away
Beyond the north winds
A pale autumn moon
Glows onto the ruins
Etched in stone
An unknown hand
Long forgotten
In the distant future
Eternal flame to the next of kin
Beyond the north winds
A pale autumn moon
Glows onto the ruins
Etched in stone
An unknown hand
Long forgotten
In the distant future
Eternal flame to the next of kin
