Betray The Name
Black sites on parade
When all you do is march around
Protest peace with your fire
An innocent receiver
So sow your vests
On anyone who rises against
Rehash videos on your pirate streams
Disguise hate with resolve
Maybe tomorrow
The masses with bend to you
Infect the children but at your expense
Costly with no compromise
Take, assimilate
Cut deep in god's country
Betray the name once you expire
The world scrambles
What was safe is torn to pieces
Drones shine like the stars
And...
When all you do is march around
Protest peace with your fire
An innocent receiver
So sow your vests
On anyone who rises against
Rehash videos on your pirate streams
Disguise hate with resolve
Maybe tomorrow
The masses with bend to you
Infect the children but at your expense
Costly with no compromise
Take, assimilate
Cut deep in god's country
Betray the name once you expire
The world scrambles
What was safe is torn to pieces
Drones shine like the stars
And...

Soul Wager
I am everything
The cruel and the unseen
Through long spaces
I have arrived
I'm human enough
Sentient meat to some degree
But don't look too deep
You just might see
Jagged like teeth
And the skin pulling beneath
Eyes hunger and devour
Every taste of you
I hide my hide
In woven black tapestry
My voice low and dragon sighed
Revealing yet kind
But pay no mind
For I have a riddle to say
One day I offer for all you desire
Love, lust, receive
You were young
With a...
The cruel and the unseen

I have arrived
I'm human enough
Sentient meat to some degree
But don't look too deep
You just might see
Jagged like teeth
And the skin pulling beneath
Eyes hunger and devour
Every taste of you
I hide my hide
In woven black tapestry
My voice low and dragon sighed
Revealing yet kind
But pay no mind

One day I offer for all you desire

Going
Waited in the weeds
Broke the slack on my holster
Pulled and shot two times
A man fell to ground
Stole his money
The horse he rode in on
Gone dark to derail his testimony
Through driving rain
Oh I, still wonder
If I'm walking or crawling
Drunk the agony
Hung like an atmosphere
Kissed a languid girl dressed blue
She rubbed my back
Pulled the strings
But my heart won't surface
The blonde in question
Didn't ask twice
Oh I, still wonder
If I'm walking or crawling
...
Broke the slack on my holster
Pulled and shot two times
A man fell to ground
Stole his money
The horse he rode in on
Gone dark to derail his testimony
Through driving rain
Oh I, still wonder
If I'm walking or crawling
Drunk the agony
Hung like an atmosphere
Kissed a languid girl dressed blue
She rubbed my back
Pulled the strings
But my heart won't surface
The blonde in question
Didn't ask twice
Oh I, still wonder
If I'm walking or crawling

Friends? Not Really
Heavy like the day
Your talent is ever flattered
Neither clever or funny
A choking stutter
Flimsy cardboard
Your stories read one way
No room for rewrites
It's heaven sent
Oh, that's right
Your success is earned
Not bought or smuggled across
Smudge the makeup
Roll the dice and take your pick
I forget that in these pages
You will live forever
Lips a flotation device
Cement cream freezes your sneer
Every man you ever infected
They still feel the lack
Oh, that's right ...
Your talent is ever flattered
Neither clever or funny
A choking stutter
Flimsy cardboard
Your stories read one way
No room for rewrites
It's heaven sent
Oh, that's right
Your success is earned
Not bought or smuggled across
Smudge the makeup
Roll the dice and take your pick
I forget that in these pages
You will live forever
Lips a flotation device
Cement cream freezes your sneer
Every man you ever infected
They still feel the lack
Oh, that's right ...

The Fall
My time is up
These long nights slow
And I pay in full with everything
Through cracks
I hear crowds chanting
Kill the usurper, throne stealer
It's untrue, so I thought
You were the one
The boy with summer hair
Who came back from the sickness
Malevolent after the fall
People dance
They crown another
A man who held my spear
In these rags
I observe in a cage
My blood, he looks away
The hubris, the resignation
You were the one ...
These long nights slow
And I pay in full with everything
Through cracks
I hear crowds chanting
Kill the usurper, throne stealer
It's untrue, so I thought
You were the one
The boy with summer hair
Who came back from the sickness
Malevolent after the fall
People dance
They crown another
A man who held my spear
In these rags
I observe in a cage
My blood, he looks away
The hubris, the resignation
You were the one ...

Found
What a lonely state
Sitting faint up on this throne
Where the walls breathe
Rattling discord
A paranoid state
It's the only way I stay sane
Staying one step ahead
Of all my enemies
This place is mine
One look and its a prison
For all those who think different
Mine, it's always been
Off with your head
No time for a bargain plea
The only way I'm leaving is dead
Mine, it's always been
My children turned
They suit up in secret rooms
A voice for the unheard ...
Sitting faint up on this throne
Where the walls breathe
Rattling discord
A paranoid state
It's the only way I stay sane
Staying one step ahead
Of all my enemies
This place is mine
One look and its a prison
For all those who think different
Mine, it's always been
Off with your head
No time for a bargain plea
The only way I'm leaving is dead
Mine, it's always been
My children turned
They suit up in secret rooms
A voice for the unheard ...

First And The Last
It's a long start now
I'm gonna surrender my heart
If I never make it this far
Don't let me know
Tear me apart
Laugh at my misfortune
Go on and bring me your worst
It won't matter at all
A dream is a dream
It's a long fall now
Back to the world I once knew
When everything is done
I won't die in bed
When we laugh
I don't see or feel regret
Our sky is clear and without rain
I'm blissfully unaware
Years, don't hurry if you do
I'm gonna surrender my heart
If I never make it this far
Don't let me know
Tear me apart
Laugh at my misfortune
Go on and bring me your worst
It won't matter at all
A dream is a dream
It's a long fall now
Back to the world I once knew
When everything is done
I won't die in bed
When we laugh
I don't see or feel regret
Our sky is clear and without rain
I'm blissfully unaware
Years, don't hurry if you do

Murphy's Law
Lost out here
My thoughts converge
Gunslinger with no destination
With the breeze
I wander over everywhere
And with the trees I drift right along
From this view
I admire that ocean blue
Where dreams behave like clouds
They change every time
Stomach growls
And my horse is amused
He snorts with a southern drawl
We argue again
He wants this I want that
Before we know it night has come
From this view
I admire that ocean blue
Where dreams behave like clouds ...
My thoughts converge
Gunslinger with no destination
With the breeze
I wander over everywhere
And with the trees I drift right along
From this view
I admire that ocean blue
Where dreams behave like clouds
They change every time
Stomach growls
And my horse is amused
He snorts with a southern drawl
We argue again
He wants this I want that
Before we know it night has come
From this view
I admire that ocean blue
Where dreams behave like clouds ...

Paradox
Upon my ceiling
A slim woman upside down
Her hair flowing black
Fox like smile
I caught a question
Asked in her cheery demeanor
I didn't have the answer
To her implication
I must be unwell
To see this flimsy woman
Crush a wall with a flick of a finger
Her eyes narrow
And they aren't friendly
I must have a drinking problem
I yell and I sneer
But she won't stay away
An insect to squash in her opinion
Insane, I need a drink
Grand delusion
Yeah, I'm nearly convinced ...
A slim woman upside down
Her hair flowing black
Fox like smile
I caught a question
Asked in her cheery demeanor
I didn't have the answer
To her implication
I must be unwell
To see this flimsy woman
Crush a wall with a flick of a finger
Her eyes narrow
And they aren't friendly
I must have a drinking problem
I yell and I sneer
But she won't stay away
An insect to squash in her opinion
Insane, I need a drink
Grand delusion
Yeah, I'm nearly convinced ...

Between The Lines
Take my change
Every dollar I ever made
For just one chance
It's all I'll need
And when I get in
My place is always a mess
With ladies in anything
That don't match
They kiss me sweet
Got lipstick all over my face
My friends look jealous
But I don't agree
And I'm alright
Living bigger than life
Feeling unwell but I don't care
I'm happy alone
Being clever and funny
Can't you read between the lines
My suits are sleek
With shades to hide my gaze
Cold flesh when we...
Every dollar I ever made
For just one chance
It's all I'll need
And when I get in
My place is always a mess

Got lipstick all over my face
My friends look jealous

Sleep The Day
I wake up different
Feel like fifteen all over again
When ghosts approach
They just appear
My hands shake
They look a lot like yours
Unsure, reaching out for someone
Who was never there
I was born in it
No need to remind me
It's him again
He wants the last word
To fight me before he disappears
Yeah, there it goes
I can smell it
Creeping empty rooms
Every bad mistake I ever made
Shapes of all kinds
Don't talk at all
It's better if I don't hear
...

Wander
Been walking along
Setting my sight up on ahead
Underneath a mountain
I turned feverish
Clad in a black suit
I twist a ring in my fingertips
Sweating and cursing
Along razor wire
Crystal clear water
I drop heavy and drink it quick
To drown thirsty troubles
And dusty fears
On foreign land
My wife last saw the sun
She's all gone, returned in pieces
And I swore to avenge
Two years in
I ain't getting closer
Lost out here near gas fires
To right a wrong
...
