World Eaters
Hopes and dreams
The trespass of simpler things
Everything is now excess
Pulled farther apart
Catatonic at the root
But so real is this death letter
Blistering in it's rhythm
Alive and forming
Edible stars, world eaters
Treading property
This moon dust silicone ring
Sunken and weathered
A soul squeezed
Newborn thresher
A far cry from natural law
Slip the noose and go no further
Lawless oppressors
Hunger for any and all
A canvas of black
With nothing looking back ...
The trespass of simpler things
Everything is now excess
Pulled farther apart
Catatonic at the root
But so real is this death letter
Blistering in it's rhythm
Alive and forming
Edible stars, world eaters
Treading property
This moon dust silicone ring
Sunken and weathered
A soul squeezed
Newborn thresher
A far cry from natural law
Slip the noose and go no further
Lawless oppressors
Hunger for any and all
A canvas of black
With nothing looking back ...

Ferris
Better paint me dead
For I seen red along the black
In that tunnel and across train tracks
Dusty forgotten towns
A twisting coil in this snake dance
Where every face is not like the one before
Go on and die a little
Kill your roots despite yourself
Rancid loyalties still align
But does it justify
Mud on the brain
Shifting data on informants
Giving chase to clues long forgotten
This lack of direction
Has no target or instruction
Creating destruction in the system
Go on and die a...
For I seen red along the black

A twisting coil in this snake dance
Where every face is not like the one before

But does it justify
Mud on the brain
Shifting data on informants

Victimize
Can't walk away
Your life is now for hire
Dress it up and turn it around
Should've left it alone
Stripped away
Your body is property
Abused by anyone we choose
It's what you deserve
Loose skin how it pulls
But suddenly
This is all you receive
Under siege by forces unseen
Hide your eyes
You kill until it's bled out
Any trace of what you used to be
Malevolent mother
School of birds and choirs
Fingerprint a warning
Trust in no one
Born in blood ...
Your life is now for hire
Dress it up and turn it around
Should've left it alone
Stripped away
Your body is property
Abused by anyone we choose
It's what you deserve
Loose skin how it pulls
But suddenly
This is all you receive
Under siege by forces unseen
Hide your eyes
You kill until it's bled out
Any trace of what you used to be
Malevolent mother
School of birds and choirs
Fingerprint a warning
Trust in no one
Born in blood ...

The Turning
Whispers below
It kept on scorching you
Lost now to the shadows around
That appear so familiar
Sleeping alone
You cradle the streets
But see enemies in everyone
Among everything
You might be the king
But who says you'll never fall
No longer see the ground
From castle walls
I hear bells ringing
And the people are dancing
To quiet songs and loud revolutions
Cavalry standing
Wolves dressed like sheep
Once gone but twice forgotten now
Never more than skin and bones
...
It kept on scorching you
Lost now to the shadows around
That appear so familiar
Sleeping alone
You cradle the streets
But see enemies in everyone
Among everything
You might be the king
But who says you'll never fall
No longer see the ground
From castle walls
I hear bells ringing
And the people are dancing
To quiet songs and loud revolutions
Cavalry standing
Wolves dressed like sheep
Once gone but twice forgotten now
Never more than skin and bones

Right on Time
Approaching me
This guillotine of sadness
It distorts and cries on everything
That I ever hold dear
Love's the answer
So simple yet so far away
On black days is when I look down
See my feet dangling free
But just wait
Before you step down
Take the time to see tomorrow
But just think
Death is ever imminent
Why hurry when it's right on time
Looking at pages
Of myth and superstition
It rings hollow on every memory
A force fed mystery
Veins sprawling
The painting of your...

So simple yet so far away
On black days is when I look down

Take the time to see tomorrow

Death is ever imminent
Why hurry when it's right on time

Leviathan
This sinister rhyme
Sinking down ocean depths
You call on me to awaken the night
Not the first, not the last
Leaving my throne
Ascending mountain waves
My soldiers follow, heavens asunder
Fire and sky become one
Slip skin believer
On the pyre with the dead
Ready to bow to a new successor
A thousand years
So few stand between us
Hope retreats but always returns
I grow so bored
And the depression grows
Belly is fat and I sweat underwater
Sleep apnea all the time
Horns, horns,...
Sinking down ocean depths
You call on me to awaken the night
Not the first, not the last
Leaving my throne
Ascending mountain waves
My soldiers follow, heavens asunder
Fire and sky become one
Slip skin believer
On the pyre with the dead
Ready to bow to a new successor
A thousand years
So few stand between us
Hope retreats but always returns
I grow so bored
And the depression grows
Belly is fat and I sweat underwater
Sleep apnea all the time
Horns, horns,...

A Visitor
Coming to you
A flood of flailing black
Sludges all sides of the ceiling
Your birthing room
Crimson eyes open
Bubbled up fingers reach up
Mesmerized, your throat
Bleeds the desire
Over and over
You relive it every night
But behold a once in a lifetime
Like silky velvet
The void drops in shape
Forming, a man of simple taste
With a crooked jaw
Discolored eyes
They glance into yours
He moves, his hair all directions
Born of your misery
Oh, look at you
There's a storm...
A flood of flailing black
Sludges all sides of the ceiling
Your birthing room
Crimson eyes open
Bubbled up fingers reach up
Mesmerized, your throat
Bleeds the desire
Over and over
You relive it every night
But behold a once in a lifetime
Like silky velvet
The void drops in shape
Forming, a man of simple taste
With a crooked jaw
Discolored eyes
They glance into yours
He moves, his hair all directions
Born of your misery
Oh, look at you
There's a storm...

Among Forces Unseen
Little church
Tell me who are you
Of what color and what tribe
Acolytes, get found
Under the sway
Rejoice those evil ways
Ain't changed at all
No, not one bit
Hmm, hmm, ah
Dogs running
You emerge among us
Spitting up tasteless holy water
Lungs breathe at last
Footsteps call
Stilted but hoof heavy
Bayou trees bend
Never break
Hmm, hmm, ah
We seldom agree
But wolves live the shallow
Waded your arrival in every sense
As the dragon speaks
Saw...
Tell me who are you
Of what color and what tribe
Acolytes, get found

Rejoice those evil ways
Ain't changed at all

Killjoy
And he goes
Crying in succession
Heartbroken over someone
Who let him go
As he sinks
I pause my tongue
I don't offer any sympathy
He has to learn
It's cold and dark
When your love is not enough
And the scar don't mean
To playfully tease
Maybe it gets better
Maybe your heart never stops
Maybe it never was true
You couldn't see
Memories constrict
And you fail to make a sound
While you coagulate in it
Life's moving on
We admire the night
And...
Crying in succession
Heartbroken over someone
Who let him go
As he sinks
I pause my tongue
I don't offer any sympathy
He has to learn
It's cold and dark
When your love is not enough
And the scar don't mean
To playfully tease
Maybe it gets better
Maybe your heart never stops
Maybe it never was true

While you coagulate in it

Black Mountain
For three days
I've trailed your tracks
Through the high desert plains
I followed you home
I'm no lawman
But been hired as such
Biloxi paid me to see you return
Either dead or alive
I can barely stand
And my throat is parched
But know that I won't leave alone
You and I together
If I have to drag you back
Then I'll cross that mountainside
Cold and black
That man you left behind
His wife was pillaged
Buried six deep
I'm way too weak
To raise a hand against you
But...

It's So Easy
Coming on empty
Somewhere in South Dakota
Cutthroats following me
To scalp my hide
One says give up
The other wants my pistol
And the wedding ring
I stole from him
I want it easy
Live life on a beach
Or a final stand in a creek
It's so easy
When your wanted
To let the crazy settle on in
Sweet as daisy
To lay under the shade
Eat the jerky and drink my wine
My horse looking on
With little worry
I'll wait for them right here
If I end up as a corpse
Hope it's...

Should I Wear Black?
I came in spring
To witness your resurrection
The girls were undying
Deadly in a flock
My friends went
Reborn as drunken fools
You kissed my hand
And so it was
Dance the night
All of me is exiting clean
I'll become you for this one song
Take it from me
I'm here to be theatrical
It's much easier in the moonlight
Zombie face paint
Movements in bizarre forms
Like a nagging thought
It's annoying me
If it ends like this
In an euphoric nightmare
I...
