Foretelling
Darkness looms on the horizon,
Gloomy and growing closer.
The winds of The End draw near,
Bringing sour and repulsive haunts.
Daylight fades into the clouds,
Birds and fish alike do flee.
Do not expect for to find joy,
This day may be the last.
Finding a rest, untold glory,
Sipping from streams of ecstasy.
At last, the moon is setting,
Yet dear Sol is naught to rise.
Gloomy and growing closer.
The winds of The End draw near,
Bringing sour and repulsive haunts.
Daylight fades into the clouds,
Birds and fish alike do flee.
Do not expect for to find joy,
This day may be the last.
Finding a rest, untold glory,
Sipping from streams of ecstasy.
At last, the moon is setting,
Yet dear Sol is naught to rise.

Anguish Mine
Come to me,
Times of trouble,
Times of sorrow.
Come to me,
To save others,
From suffering.
Come to me,
And know well,
You are loved.
Come to me,
Times of misery,
Times of loneliness.
Come to me,
And feel warmth,
And recognition.
Come to me,
Who knows you're,
Not what you seem.
Come to me,
Times of heartbreak,
Times of self-hate.
Come to me,
For who else,
Carries you best?
Come to me,
For I...
Times of trouble,
Times of sorrow.
Come to me,
To save others,
From suffering.
Come to me,
And know well,
You are loved.
Come to me,
Times of misery,
Times of loneliness.
Come to me,
And feel warmth,
And recognition.
Come to me,
Who knows you're,
Not what you seem.
Come to me,
Times of heartbreak,
Times of self-hate.
Come to me,
For who else,
Carries you best?
Come to me,
For I...

Demons Abound
Sometimes i worry the future,
Most times i regret the past.
Always forgetting the present,
Knowing it will never last.
Finding no reason to suffer,
Or to dole out the anguish i do.
Happiness never lasting,
Those who find joy in me, few.
More cause have i to die,
Than that which tethers me here,
I have only one more obstacle,
And that, dear reader, is fear.
That which i have suffered,
And yet to suffer still,
If it does not kill me,
Nothing ever will.
My light is growing dimmer,
And...
Most times i regret the past.
Always forgetting the present,
Knowing it will never last.
Finding no reason to suffer,

Than that which tethers me here,
I have only one more obstacle,
And that, dear reader, is fear.

And yet to suffer still,
If it does not kill me,
Nothing ever will.
My light is growing dimmer,

To You, Dear Love
To the one who had saved me,
I am nothing to you, I know.
Dragged away from my own demise,
To which I'd willingly go.
You kept me alive as I suffered
Now given a reason to stay.
I found beauty in darkness,
I had found my own way.
Now I can see what you're doing,
Slowly we're drifting apart.
When you leave for the last time,
You'll take with you my heart.
At the end, I will meet the Empty,
As lonely as when last we split ways.
And I am doomed to find no comfort,
Til the last pitied end of my days.
I am nothing to you, I know.
Dragged away from my own demise,
To which I'd willingly go.
You kept me alive as I suffered
Now given a reason to stay.
I found beauty in darkness,
I had found my own way.
Now I can see what you're doing,
Slowly we're drifting apart.
When you leave for the last time,
You'll take with you my heart.
At the end, I will meet the Empty,
As lonely as when last we split ways.
And I am doomed to find no comfort,
Til the last pitied end of my days.

Lonesome Travels
Down a dark alley he walked,
Not minding the cold.
Missing the life that he had,
And his woman to hold.
From the ashes of utter defeat,
Came his determination.
And from his continued struggles,
Was born his miserable destruction.
He tried for the gain of nothing,
He tried in spite of his failings.
He tried, rightly so, he couldn't,
He tried, against all his feelings.
As he stumbles, so bitter, alone,
With no one to stand beside.
He wished that he could have made it,
He wished he hadn't've lied. ...

Q&A
Ask,
What has become of life?
Of creating the beautiful?
Of 'living the dream'?
What has become of enjoyment?
Of knowing it'll all turn out well?
What has become of this life?
Where did kindness go?
Or having compassion?
Or taking care of your fellow man?
Ill tell you.
Our lives are destroyed for the powerful.
They've never enthused our creations.
Our dreams they have stifled and stomped.
We no longer enjoy... anything.
We know it will all fall apart.
We can only wait out the...

Drink to Obliviation
Drunk again.
I suffer in silence,
Alone with troubles untold.
Waiting to die,
I've got no vestments,
No holdouts left.
No one to call my own.
One cannot say what troubles,
When to think obscures the truth,
And to state ones mind,
One must become a champion.
A loser.
No winning here.
You will lose your hope.
You will lose your dreams.
You will lose your love.
You will lose your life.
There is nothing for you.
Where to from here,
When all is absent?
When we learn that heaven is...
I suffer in silence,
Alone with troubles untold.
Waiting to die,
I've got no vestments,
No holdouts left.
No one to call my own.
One cannot say what troubles,
When to think obscures the truth,
And to state ones mind,
One must become a champion.
A loser.
No winning here.
You will lose your hope.
You will lose your dreams.
You will lose your love.
You will lose your life.
There is nothing for you.

Despair
I matter not.
That is undisputed.
At least in my mind,
Where i am Alone.
Words matter not,
When no one may hear.
Feelings even less,
Whoever might care?
Existence is pain,
I know to be true.
What reprieve do we get?
Is there any but death?
Is there any but death?
That is undisputed.
At least in my mind,
Where i am Alone.
Words matter not,
When no one may hear.
Feelings even less,
Whoever might care?
Existence is pain,
I know to be true.
What reprieve do we get?
Is there any but death?
Is there any but death?

The life we have had,
Could never have been as sad,
As the dying sky.
Could never have been as sad,

A Prayer
Dear Lord, take me home.
I don't want to suffer anymore.
Please Lord, let me be done,
Please let me see you above.
You took my friends,
You took my parents,
You took my child.
You took my peace,
You love me, right?
All I ask is for you
Is to let me go.
Let me rest,
Let me come home
I don't want to suffer anymore.
Please Lord, let me be done,
Please let me see you above.
You took my friends,
You took my parents,
You took my child.
You took my peace,
You love me, right?
All I ask is for you
Is to let me go.
Let me rest,
Let me come home

Awaiting Rest
One day soon I will die,
Leaving Misery behind.
But my soul is damned,
No peace shall I find.
Hope has been dormant,
My peace is upturned.
My purpose is absent,
This much have I learned.
For nowhere can i find rest,
No one to console me.
Eternal slumber I yearn for,
No end can I ever see.
Leaving Misery behind.
But my soul is damned,
No peace shall I find.
Hope has been dormant,
My peace is upturned.
My purpose is absent,
This much have I learned.
For nowhere can i find rest,
No one to console me.
Eternal slumber I yearn for,
No end can I ever see.
