Next up
I've been waiting a long time
Nothing but patience
To commit just the right crimes
To be shocking the nation
I'm preparing the quicklime
For my grim infatuation
Take all your stations, because
The show's about to start
I've prepared with boots and gloves
I'm aiming for the heart
This valentine's day
I plan to steal it away
I'll shoot an arrow straight through it
I'm cupids harrowing druid
There's nothing keeping me hinged ...
Nothing but patience
To commit just the right crimes
To be shocking the nation
I'm preparing the quicklime
For my grim infatuation
Take all your stations, because
The show's about to start
I've prepared with boots and gloves
I'm aiming for the heart
This valentine's day
I plan to steal it away
I'll shoot an arrow straight through it
I'm cupids harrowing druid
There's nothing keeping me hinged ...

Styx's Ripples
Deep underground
Where the bodies are buried
Fall asleep to the sound
Rhythmic, rowing the ferry
Souls being carried
From where they were found
Frightened and wary
Quick glances around
What’s next may be scary
Their ghosts may be drowned
Stay composed, but just barely
Try not to look down
Anxiety heightens, tensions tightly wound
Where angels tread nary
Fears spoken aloud
Matters not if you’re very
Obscure or renowned
Ferryman ignores queries
To fate we are bound ...
Where the bodies are buried
Fall asleep to the sound
Rhythmic, rowing the ferry
Souls being carried
From where they were found
Frightened and wary
Quick glances around
What’s next may be scary
Their ghosts may be drowned
Stay composed, but just barely
Try not to look down
Anxiety heightens, tensions tightly wound
Where angels tread nary
Fears spoken aloud
Matters not if you’re very
Obscure or renowned
Ferryman ignores queries
To fate we are bound ...

Keep Going
Will you just leave me alone
Before this grievance has grown
Too great for you to even atone?
Keep going,
What's up my sleeve will be shown
I'm patient,
But you'll be cleaved to the bone
You've been deceived, little drone
Witness the evil I've honed
On the darkest day that we've ever known
In fear you drown,
It's time to reap what you've sewn
When I look down,
You're not asleep but you're prone
Soon to be bound,
Six feet deep and alone
I wear the crown,
Today I'm keeping my throne
...

It Watches
In my peripheral something shifts
It's always there, watching
Gaze on my back never lifts
In every shadow stalking
Were I to quickly turn to see
Would there be nothing there?
Try to ignore it anxiously
Feeling prickling, raising hairs
Is this real or in my head?
This presence filling me with dread
Would it be worse to be insane?
Or to an apparition chained
No answer comes
To fear I numb
I...

Nocturnal Tranquility
Your music is my remedy
Beautiful, haunting melodies
Are all I need to set me free
Enchanting me so cleverly
Once more, I shed my skin
Revealing that which lies within
Spirals, through my head spin
When sanity is spread too thin
Internal war begins
Believe me, I would die to win
Inferno born of sin
Confront it with the widest grin
Exhumed after each battle
Blooming in the shadows
Rooted deep, not shallow
Embracing the unhallowed
Awakening at dusk
To a tempest between...

Thought Control
Onward you march, one by one
Single file to your graves
Farther and farther, you're strung out
Become willing slaves
Brainwashed until home and loved ones
You no longer crave
Erode your will, bite your tongues
Until nothing remains
Humans deceiving
Induce lucid dreaming
Illusions of freedom
Only few can see them
For what they really are
Punishment and reward
Pavlovian conditioned
In an oasis imprisoned
Always cyclic in rythm
Following restrictions
Never see...
Single file to your graves
Farther and farther, you're strung out
Become willing slaves
Brainwashed until home and loved ones
You no longer crave
Erode your will, bite your tongues
Until nothing remains
Humans deceiving
Induce lucid dreaming
Illusions of freedom
Only few can see them
For what they really are
Punishment and reward
Pavlovian conditioned
In an oasis imprisoned
Always cyclic in rythm
Following restrictions
Never see...

Forewarned
Since I climbed out of hell
To the chime of a bell
In my mind there has dwelled
Violence unparalleled
And only time will tell
If the tide will swell
Until then might as well
Just hide in my shell
Discord and mayhem
Frolicking free
Know, by the day's end
Everyone will see
I am a patient beast
The monster within
Will wait for his feast
Before he digs in
To the chime of a bell
In my mind there has dwelled
Violence unparalleled
And only time will tell
If the tide will swell
Until then might as well
Just hide in my shell
Discord and mayhem
Frolicking free
Know, by the day's end
Everyone will see
I am a patient beast
The monster within
Will wait for his feast
Before he digs in

Cardioarachnid
Observing you from your best angle
The embodiment of a fresh angel
I felt butterflies
From my stomach rise
Before caught in a web and entangled
In my chest there resides
In the hollow inside
An eight legged critter that dangles
Find the path to my heart
And there you will stay
To admire silk art
I'll show you which way
In chains
In my ribcage
Getting enraged
Venomous veins
Spinneret strains
Innocence fades
True nature revealed
No escape or appeal ...
The embodiment of a fresh angel

Blood Flood
Open the flood gate
Where oceans of blood wait
Skeletal vessels undulate
On restless waves of hate
They ferry the last surviving shreds
Of sanity, not yet painted red
Conjured by my tainted head
Unsure if I'm alive or dead
It doesn't matter
For there is no shore
Immeasurable fathoms
To this ocean's floor
When the storm clouds gather
And the crimson mass roars
It will swallow them faster
Than a starved carnivore
Where oceans of blood wait
Skeletal vessels undulate
On restless waves of hate
They ferry the last surviving shreds
Of sanity, not yet painted red
Conjured by my tainted head
Unsure if I'm alive or dead
It doesn't matter
For there is no shore
Immeasurable fathoms
To this ocean's floor
When the storm clouds gather
And the crimson mass roars
It will swallow them faster
Than a starved carnivore

When Will They Learn...
I thought I was in heaven,
In the meanwhile
No second guessing
She'd already left me behind
Found some leverage,
Got inside my enemy's mind
Time to make her regret
Ever telling these lies
I knew what I had to do to sever these ties
Damn I'm clever,
Dragged her through the evergreen
pines
Manic endeavor,
Stabbed her at least seventeen times
Plan to find her partner,
Avenge treading these lines
Still self glorifying,
When at my core I'm dying
Liquor at the store I'm...

Just Desserts
I thought I warned you not to cross me
You'll learn that mistake was costly
You're not a good apologizer
Because you're an awful liar
I wasn't trying to cause a ruckus
But fuck it, now I'm pissed
When you finally kick the bucket
Cross you off my bucket list
Until then, please patiently
Wait your turn, miss
Before taken to the back alley
Taxidermist
I'll be doing the whole world a service
Beat you until your stomach curls and lurches
Drop the act, you're clowning
Like you work the circus
I...

Those Moments
As I recall some memories from the back of my mind
For a brief second, place myself in those moments in time
It's surreal
The way it feels
As if I never left
Places that I dare not forget
As if those moments still exist
Dreams too homely to resist
Yet so painful to revisit
Knowing imagination's limits
Loved ones gone forever
In that moment, breathe again
Ties long ago severed
Greet them, and ask them how they've been
Surroundings replaced by rooms
In which I'll never again set foot
They...
