The End is Nigh
A coma silently induced,
Why have we been reduced?
To a simple storm,
Behind raging eyes.
Just a thought,
Not a spoken word.
Too loud,
I cannot be heard.
I feel the day coming,
The one I so dread,
When the skies rain blood,
And our world dangles on a thread.
This lightning flashes across our darkened roofs,
Messengers ride swiftly on already tired hooves.
To tell us a fate,
One we already knew.
When the final bell tolls,
And there is no one left to blame,
Who will handle our forsaken souls?
Why have we been reduced?
To a simple storm,
Behind raging eyes.
Just a thought,
Not a spoken word.
Too loud,
I cannot be heard.
I feel the day coming,
The one I so dread,
When the skies rain blood,
And our world dangles on a thread.
This lightning flashes across our darkened roofs,
Messengers ride swiftly on already tired hooves.
To tell us a fate,
One we already knew.
When the final bell tolls,
And there is no one left to blame,
Who will handle our forsaken souls?

Hallucinations (Make a Life Worth Living)
You quietly ask of me,
An answer that I have never known,
I reply with the best words I can speak.
"What if this was all make believe?"
If we were a figment,
A made up image inside of my mind.
No sentence is good enough,
Not thorough or dense,
I stare off into the distance,
As my face starts to lose pigment.
My best explanation is unworthy,
I hope my hallucinations never end,
Don't tell me, please refrain,
Let me relish it, if I'm insane.
It would be an intolerable truth,
The world's grandest lie.
In...

Spirits Suspend
My mind is encased,
All forethought erased,
Torturous days drag by,
I long to let go and fly.
My skin crawls,
My fingers creep slowly,
To the trigger of life,
I lack the will to pull it,
Even to set myself free.
My eyes burn,
My head throbs,
Like a heart unbroken,
All my loving words choked back,
Unspoken and unwritten.
Fingers pointed filled with blame,
Of my kindness I feel no shame,
My body yet aches,
My hands still shake.
Withdrawals rack my psyche,
I want this so badly,
I feel that my...

Rebel
Screams tear through the night,
The skies open with a thunderous roar,
Let loose the heathens and the damned,
Until we are left crammed,
Into this living hell we've made.
I dream of martyrs,
Taking back their lives,
Lovers passing each other by,
All because we're destined to die.
We'll be made famous,
With our fists raised,
To the shattering skies,
For we will not be phased.
You can take all you want,
But receive nothing,
The real value is not monetary,
They want the blood money,
How much is your soul worth?...
The skies open with a thunderous roar,
Let loose the heathens and the damned,
Until we are left crammed,
Into this living hell we've made.
I dream of martyrs,

All because we're destined to die.
We'll be made famous,
With our fists raised,
To the shattering skies,
For we will not be phased.
You can take all you want,
But receive nothing,
The real value is not monetary,
They want the blood money,
How much is your soul worth?...

Styx
This turmoil,
My Revelations,
Flames of this hell,
Licking at delicate flesh.
Even a simple glipse,
Makes me stumble.
Charon, ferry me,
For I'll never let this be.
The river looks inviting,
The hands will pull me under,
Drowning me more with each breath.
Sweet ferry man, you've stolen my heart,
Don't let this tear us apart.
I feel I've been blind to your beauty,
I've shunned your embraced,
Feel pity on me,
Give me just a taste.
I long to wither in your arms,
I'll breathe my last and it'll do...

A Heart Betrayed
Each beat feels like a lie,
No matter how hard I try,
This feeling is unshakeable,
It's borderline miserable.
To be filled with such glee,
It's unexplainable and it betrays me.
I've longed for something this strong,
Why does my head say it's wrong?
A gleaming smile makes my blood race,
I've got to escape from this place,
It won't resolve, when I close my eyes, I see the face.
That face I've cherished for so long,
My skin ripples and my face blushes,
Anytime our skin brushes.
This is bliss and this is hell.
No matter how hard I try,

A gleaming smile makes my blood race,
I've got to escape from this place,
It won't resolve, when I close my eyes, I see the face.
That face I've cherished for so long,
My skin ripples and my face blushes,
Anytime our skin brushes.
This is bliss and this is hell.
