Morning Star
Her hands trembling
Well worn but beautifully tragic
Weathered around psalms
That noose the cross
Her tongue is silent
But the bruises get tighter
Heavier still no matter the reason
A gift given cheek to cheek
I won’t back down
Your wounds will be my own
Deliver me baby, power in your name
Join me on the spire
Have a seat across these fires
Give cause and I’ll provide
Relief from the fever
What you desire, ask yourself
Her lips snarling now
Jagged tears soak the crevice
As...

Deliver me baby, power in your name

Roots Of The World
Now some say
We are mud and bones
Born from defiant battlefield dirt
I believe you are me
Scuttle along like shipwrecks
Decency dies in murderous applause
Nothing is forgiven
But some things I will not abide
To rebel in a pyre
Where the flame turns cool
Rejoice, hold the line
Got no friends in this undertow
Reprisals quicken
And nobody gets out alive
If wronged I demand satisfaction
Feast on the marrow
And sleep in guiltless sheets
A roll of...

Musings Of A Rabid Lamb
Catering to the deceived
What a violent delight we now weave
An alliance soaked in vengeance
Bloody and ever changing
You too shall see
Come rain, come drought
Come the snow on a mountainside
I am all things now, forever
For kings shall kneel
To my shadow over the land
That overwhelms everything around
Way up high and down low
Your queens will dine
Feed on scrapes from my table
For they will know anguish
Woes I suffer even still
The...

Deep Dark
My lineage is gone
Staked and burned away
Swallowed whole by crusaders
Waiting in the shallows
Mortem, black roots
A whisper of songs I once sang
Inaudible in an empty tomb
Erosion, a detriment
Maybe I couldn’t see
The fate that awaits all men
Maybe you were right to never linger
There’s no recourse
Once sold, you cannot undo
Warnings from a specter that looms
I awoke in vacuum
Teased loss on my tongue
A funneling decay of familiar taste
Reinforced, heart bending
The...

Last Desire
Happens every time
Once again I’m second best
I disavow your apologies
Let’s skip to the end
To where I can’t be
A better friend or honest intent
Because I cross that line
Let’s turn the page
Truths are spoken
And your eyes won’t open
Lies collide while that door closes
It never hurts
You ask for anything
I will try but only for so long
My stomach turns
To right every wrong I made
But I feel different when the night falls
I’m just the devil you know
Your knives are...
Once again I’m second best
I disavow your apologies
Let’s skip to the end
To where I can’t be
A better friend or honest intent
Because I cross that line
Let’s turn the page
Truths are spoken
And your eyes won’t open
Lies collide while that door closes
It never hurts
You ask for anything
I will try but only for so long
My stomach turns
To right every wrong I made
But I feel different when the night falls
I’m just the devil you know
Your knives are...

A Spark
I saw whitecaps
And thunder over the hill
Rain pelts worn rock
Seeping below
Sitting here
Scribbling little notes
Like soldiers after the battle
Nervous and in ruin
Nothing is wrong
But my frown won’t crown
Keeping my head turning inside out
Maybe one day
I’ll see the sun come out
But not now, so I shouldn’t doubt
Stars go small
They glow in the dark
A crescent blue moon appears
Leading them along
Embers somber
And daylight surfaces
A flicker, a spark I once knew...
And thunder over the hill
Rain pelts worn rock
Seeping below
Sitting here
Scribbling little notes
Like soldiers after the battle
Nervous and in ruin
Nothing is wrong
But my frown won’t crown
Keeping my head turning inside out
Maybe one day
I’ll see the sun come out
But not now, so I shouldn’t doubt
Stars go small
They glow in the dark
A crescent blue moon appears
Leading them along
Embers somber
And daylight surfaces
A flicker, a spark I once knew...

The Cage
You think your strong
A mountain that can’t be moved
But your empire is revolting
And crashing beneath
You demand silence
But society has a different tone
The beast corrupts the gold
And all becomes silver
Yellow belly defector
Sleep sweat in a cemetery
Rusty knives announce the night
Haunts you again
Though memories flicker
Remember those who lived there
Her eye is bruised
But the beauty never cries
She won’t give you another victory
Rises from the dirt again
Latch is...
A mountain that can’t be moved
But your empire is revolting
And crashing beneath
You demand silence
But society has a different tone
The beast corrupts the gold
And all becomes silver
Yellow belly defector
Sleep sweat in a cemetery
Rusty knives announce the night
Haunts you again
Though memories flicker
Remember those who lived there
Her eye is bruised
But the beauty never cries
She won’t give you another victory
Rises from the dirt again

Last Act Scene
Hell your a trip
An overpriced cardigan
A white crow among the murder
Splitting at both ends
No raft in the dark
Rolling clouds of memories
A hurting down deep in your heart
The absence of anything
Goodbye stars
So long sun and moon
This twilight is all that remains
All blown out
And there’s no return
But time never does looks back
Don’t know why it does
But heartbreak is just life altering
This hanging round vampire
Eclipsed in the fog
How sweet is your words ...
An overpriced cardigan
A white crow among the murder
Splitting at both ends
No raft in the dark
Rolling clouds of memories
A hurting down deep in your heart
The absence of anything
Goodbye stars
So long sun and moon
This twilight is all that remains
All blown out
And there’s no return
But time never does looks back
Don’t know why it does
But heartbreak is just life altering
This hanging round vampire
Eclipsed in the fog
How sweet is your words ...

The Dying
It came in the wind
It came along like plague dogs
Subservient and nocturnal
Flowing in reservoirs
Tribes get filthy
They are pushed aside
The golden dollar is omnipresent
A line won’t be drawn
I heard them calling
The dying, the beautiful burning
Twist your eyes
Profit when there is none
Water squelched and vomited out
Bled by corporate stiffs
Lungs burst
Bleached out birth
Force fed and tongue tied
Assembly line twirl
I heard them calling
The dying, the beautiful...
It came along like plague dogs
Subservient and nocturnal
Flowing in reservoirs

Bled by corporate stiffs

Spitting Up Blood
Blister erupts
And the fires now cool
You retreat to lick your wounds
Be ready to go again
Far from over
You opened this door
Point blank, a radical change
This fight is at an end
You denied I cared
Squandering all the prospects
Defenseless to a mouth
That regurgitates
Won't do that again
I'm afraid that I am inclined
To throw the past into a setting sun
I'd regret if you ever could
How did we get here
When I spite your every word
Caustic thoughts
And malevolent...
And the fires now cool
You retreat to lick your wounds
Be ready to go again
Far from over
You opened this door
Point blank, a radical change
This fight is at an end
You denied I cared
Squandering all the prospects
Defenseless to a mouth
That regurgitates
Won't do that again
I'm afraid that I am inclined
To throw the past into a setting sun

Mockingbird
People still say
That I can't be taught
A mangy mutt who bleeds ice
Dredged from below
My love is a cage
Twisted by all these vices
A tightrope that feels like a noose
Hell it's a resurrection
My name carries
A price and a promise
For my heart has gone rogue
Mockingbird
That's all it ever was
Never terrified but even still
Why can't you just stop me
Beelzebub, I hear him
Hit my knees in times of trouble
Descending into hysterics
On the highest high
Slaughter and...
That I can't be taught
A mangy mutt who bleeds ice
Dredged from below
My love is a cage
Twisted by all these vices
A tightrope that feels like a noose
Hell it's a resurrection
My name carries
A price and a promise
For my heart has gone rogue
Mockingbird

Never terrified but even still
Why can't you just stop me

Hit my knees in times of trouble
Descending into hysterics
On the highest high

A Locked Room
I knew a girl
Who held the devil
A goat decorated her back
So sinister and bold
And every night
She talked in sadness
Of trauma she had to endure
That colored her life
Well can't you ride
Just fly and never look back
Say goodbye to the one
Who put you there
I wandered in
To a man so ruthless
His desire brought the fever
In every relationship
He been wronged
Led by the nose every time
Hate festering in waves
Killing everything
Well can't you ride
Just fly and...
Who held the devil
A goat decorated her back
So sinister and bold
And every night
She talked in sadness
Of trauma she had to endure
That colored her life
Well can't you ride
Just fly and never look back
Say goodbye to the one
Who put you there
I wandered in
To a man so ruthless
His desire brought the fever
In every relationship
He been wronged
Led by the nose every time
Hate festering in waves
Killing everything
Well can't you ride
Just fly and...
