SCULPTOR'S FIRE
The air is thick, thick like flesh that knows no touch,
burning in secret moments beneath the skin,
breath—hot, shaking, wet against the pulse of desire.
It clings to them like sweat, like fire, like longing.
Scent of skin, of hunger, of desperate need,
something ancient, an instinct older than breath.
The world itself quakes—rational thought splinters,
fractures into stardust beneath their hands.
Logic is a wisp, a dream long forgotten.
What exists now, what is, is only the moment.
The primal call. The burning, yes, yes, yes.
He...

INWARD
I am the god man
I am a dreamer of dreams
Today is my fault
OUTWARD
Baldy the doorman
My door is open to you
The back yard calls us
UPWARD
Ghost in a tin can
You are taller than I think
We are that Spirit
I am the god man
I am a dreamer of dreams
Today is my fault
OUTWARD
Baldy the doorman
My door is open to you
The back yard calls us
UPWARD
Ghost in a tin can
You are taller than I think
We are that Spirit

The Wrong Kind of Life
Spend your days wondering why you have them
Go to stores to look at the things you can’t buy
You know you’re done with how things are
It would kill your soul just to hear your heart
Tell yourself it’s all in your head
You know therapy can’t fix you now
When your friends leave you, blame yourself
“Their lives were shit because of my birth.”
Eat knowing that there is nothing real in your body
You might not even be human anymore tonight
The bones in your body are sick and contagious
Nobody would want to come near you now
...

Fading Away Our Love (collab with Vision of Insanity)
I knew the end
Before it has started
A cold wind
Freezes my heart
And the pain tears us apart
Always weeping
inside my chest
I had to tell him
I couldn't string this along
Our two hearts were once one
Now only emptiness
I call home
Our time will fade
The end of all today
A blackened sun
Shines my next day
As the stars come out
I want to be with you
But the next day
Realization shows through
We were no good together
You know this to be true
Nothing harder ...
Before it has started
A cold wind
Freezes my heart
And the pain tears us apart
Always weeping
inside my chest
I had to tell him
I couldn't string this along
Our two hearts were once one
Now only emptiness
I call home
Our time will fade
The end of all today
A blackened sun
Shines my next day
As the stars come out
I want to be with you
But the next day
Realization shows through
We were no good together
You know this to be true
Nothing harder ...

I BURN FOR YOU - Burning Through the Cosmo
I seem to have loved you in the distant galaxies where your name is a star,
A flash,
A comet’s tail
Curled in the velvet sky,
Burning,
Fleeting,
Untouchable, yet I reach for you
A body I cannot hold,
Yet I burn, I burn, I burn, I burn,
In the shadows of your absence,
I burn,
A flame too bright for this world.
In every space between our breaths, the distance of forever,
I see you
Not here, not here,
No not here,
But everywhere, in everything thing.
A constellated dream,
Chasing...
A flash,
A comet’s tail
Curled in the velvet sky,
Burning,
Fleeting,
Untouchable, yet I reach for you
A body I cannot hold,
Yet I burn, I burn, I burn, I burn,
In the shadows of your absence,
I burn,
A flame too bright for this world.
In every space between our breaths, the distance of forever,
I see you
Not here, not here,
No not here,
But everywhere, in everything thing.
A constellated dream,
Chasing...

being lame
I balked at the kerb like
a horse at a fence
lost my nerve, but
not my common sense

Rainy World
The world used to feel
so beautiful.
I adapted to the rain
falling.
The tempo changed
often
with an emotional
drumming, clearing
the world, exposing
the scent of rusted oak
woods along my path.
In gilded water
drops in my hand,
The world feels so beautiful,
clutching the magic.
We get old
and the world
gets cold
and rain we use to know
is only a wet mess.
The rain I used to know
/ as magic /
is just a wet mess
of disillusionment, ...
so beautiful.
I adapted to the rain
falling.

Love each other or die.
I've been 'sick as a dog' the past 24 hours.
Fever,muscle and joint pain,fatigue,headache and upset stomach.
I never asked to get ill.
I didn't encourage it in any way either.
It just arrived to remind me of how fragile we all bloody are.
My illness will almost certainly pass within a few days but what about the poor bastards that suffer every single day.
They are the heroes of this world and I love every one of them.
Imagine being 'crook' and realising that's how it will always be.
Not sure I could do it.
Fever,muscle and joint pain,fatigue,headache and upset stomach.
I never asked to get ill.
I didn't encourage it in any way either.

if I tell you I'm selfish, will you leave me alone?
Come on over
wrap me up in your expectations
and then blame me
for your disappointment
when I inevitably fail
You watch me walk
trip and fall
you watch me crawl
scrabble at the walls
try and pull myself up
but you never
ever offer to help me up
I carry myself alone
while you stand over me
with tough love
that's less empathy
and more indifference
than I think you realize
I'm not looking for a saviour
I just need you to love me
through the darkness
without...
