POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Have a little time on my hands to write out songs and such.
This Is It
Locked inside this decadence
That seems to have no end
Swallow the vanity you call your own
We should have seen it coming
Reached our pinnacle without knowing
A dying existence of primal man
The only thing we are
Is a forgotten memory of yesterday
We've pushed too far
Could you have known
Is this what we are
Cause this is it
Say anything at all
Redefined by our scars
Bones turned brittle by years
Should I live so long
To watch our religion crumble
We never knew we were fading fast ...

What Was
My son sleeps sound, sound tonight
I drift in his dream tonight, to keep him company
Letting him know I am always here
I am the gentle wind, wrapped around my love
In her time of need, I let her know
Grief won't push through everyday
The seam is worn now
But in time the hurt will mend
I can't restore what was
I don't regret carrying that flag
Giving my life for a truth so pure
But you must hold on
Learn to breath once again
Cause I'm not far away
Oh away
The cold covers my land, my land
Slow is the...

Last Time
I am your king no more
Beseech the ties that hold
Cause I won't bend no more
Fields of decay are ripe tonight
Consequence of my mistakes
This is the last time
I surrender my throne
I surrender my throne
I surrender my throne
My ignorance it proves
You can sink so low
And surface no longer the same
Stripped of my everything
Burned away all my restraints
This is the last time
I surrender my throne
I surrender my throne
I surrender my throne
Relent my hold
Relent my claim
Relent my crown...

Leave It Alone
Forever is a hollowed word
I know everything must come to an end
I've ignored this place for awhile now
Cause I know I'm running out of time
And this is the way it should be
As acceptance settles in
Life is a precious phenomenon
Leave it alone
I've led a beautiful life
Leave it alone
I won't know what to expect
Out there on the other side
Out there on the other side
Youth is a distant memory
I feel my wheels changing gears
I've worn out the years I've been given
Cause I know It's true
Now that the...

Wonder
Well there she sat today
A pretty face alone on a deserted street
I wonder if she found warmth
In that ragged cloth and blanket
She looked so compromised
A life never allowed to blossom
Oh forever forsaken by society
And I feel for her
And I know this life is rough
Oh I know this life is rough
But I'll always wonder
Will she ever know
Will she ever comprehend
That there is no meaning here
Scavenging on these streets
And families are safe tonight
Not a second thought is passed
To the few...

Anticipation
I found relief in need
All taste somehow vivid
Wandering the crowd that is
Becoming just another face
Beauty wants to dance
But I pay no attention
Cause I'm not what she needs
Nor am I looking for attachment
And I shake in anticipation
As I drown in this scene
That I find so revolting
And I shake in hesitation
I'll accept the limelight
But only for a moment
Well my head is heavy now
Feel the brain coming awake
Room is vibrant, colors blending
This lifestyle is so unappealing

The Fray
It's so easy to be
The blight no one knows
Head hung low from lack of support
Immoral written on your sleeve
All names cast aside
Vessels as we are
Faded and grey
This is my belief
Welcome to the fray
Everything above and below
Welcome to the fray
Self righteous lays no claim
Imitation has a reason
Choked up on what could be
With all that you are
Could you really become hollow
My sense of right
Grows thin every day
Internal soul is not bound
This is my belief
Welcome to the fray...

Insight
Rearrange my empty heart
Take away what's unforeseen
As I relive what's pure
Inside of me
Bitter smile, sudden loss
All I am, not forgotten
Better left unsaid
Wallow beneath me
Touch tell you meld
Reassemble every vein
A given right
I'm losing insight
Slip of the tongue every time
I didn't want to know
Every corner of my being
New scars digging in
I didn't want to know
Feed the seam, wrap your soul
In this decadence of time
Here we are
Oblivious to all
Enter a space refined...

Suicide King
Broken is their way of life
Deceptive motivation never known
Lonely children herded like cattle
Father isn't that blue stains on the wall
Suicide king leading a war on faith
Could we have known the deceiver
Reminded genocide of different skin
Are you guilty by conscience
Frozen wind licking bare skin
Their suffering stretched by years
Burning flesh lingers in the air
Father our god doesn't exist here
Suicide king leading a war on faith
Could we have known the deceiver
Reminded genocide of different skin ...

Complication
Torn is my sense of time
I have no ground to give
Separation is known
Life's grind coming again
My hands are bound
Faith never could lend a hand
The past is like cyanide
Never have I longed to expire
The fallen looms above me
Hoping to steal my crown
Leaving me jaded and blind
In this sea of misunderstanding
I forever drift in dream
Lost in my own complication
Trust taste so bland
Complacent always elude me
hollow I am, spread myself so thin
Now I see the grave I call my own
The fallen looms...

Exposed
Fragile is the warning sign
So slight in its advance
No one could comprehend
Something's gotta give
Within the heart and mind
No you cannot brace for impact
My soul is exposed
All over again
My soul is exposed
All over again
I could fallow and spread my wings
Accept the faith that is mine
Hear the angels above
Embrace me as their own
My soul is exposed
All over again
My soul is exposed
All over again
My soul is exposed
All over again
Oh the things I've seen
Oh the things I've seen...
So slight in its advance
No one could comprehend
Something's gotta give

No you cannot brace for impact

Accept the faith that is mine

Embrace me as their own
My soul is exposed
All over again
My soul is exposed
All over again
My soul is exposed
All over again
Oh the things I've seen
Oh the things I've seen...
