Time
softly the witness of us all
is erased from within
spilled so casually
it has done nothing but stillness
yet we blame it for everything
growing continually colder each day
we curse this silent witness
through it each day we live
forgetting its blessing
all the hope, love, and joy its given us
because this quiet witness
is a double edged sword
giving us despair, and loneliness
the witness we all regret
but can never seem to completely forget
we search for answers with no hope
weeping in the corner of our minds
too late to...

Bottled Hearts
a lonely night in despair
i open the drawer of mistakes
gently touching the voices
the screams beneath my skin
they are never quiet, never shut up
so today i finally decided
that i would cutt them out
and watch the blood run
turning black in a puddle
with feelings of remorse
when did the voices start
that day is so far now
i cant even remember
what it was like to smile
that time of misfortunes
runs long in the abyss
a forgotten stream of distress
passes my ears as i push
the blade...

Bury The Castle
brick by brick
we build it up
brick by brick
it is useless
brick by brick
is getting boring
brick by brick
we are getting smaller
brick by brick
it controls us
brick by brick
we fall shorter
brick by brick
is boring
brick by brick
is controlling
brick by brick
we're smaller
brick by brick
I'm tired of this
brick by brick
help me
brick by brick
bury the castle
we build it up
brick by brick
it is useless
brick by brick
is getting boring
brick by brick
we are getting smaller
brick by brick
it controls us
brick by brick
we fall shorter
brick by brick
is boring
brick by brick
is controlling
brick by brick
we're smaller
brick by brick
I'm tired of this
brick by brick
help me
brick by brick

Captured, and Conquered
caught by the white words
a black fragment is all i have left
a broken shard of my heart
taint by the moon's light
caught falling by white hands
walking off from a black surface
hidden from the light of hope
living in endless broken shadows
caught try to escape a white room
watching black ribbons of blood
stain the room pitch black
trapped in an endless night
I am not a bird trapped in a cage
T am not free nor am I a bird
but rather, I am a rabbit
trapped in a small cage
White fur, Black heart ...

A Wish
Fall down
Grit on the knees
Made a wrong choice
Met an alleyway sleaze
Never going to stop
Like a train
On a circular track
No other turns
Can't look back
Stuck frozen
Ice covering
A cold hard ground
Time stopped
For all the sound
Is it so hard
To make a wish
For no shadowiness?
To make a wish
For happiness?
Maybe not
Can I stand in the rain
Can I move on
Can I wash away the pain
And try to be strong
Yes
It's not too late
To feel free...

Humans?
A dawn arises
Of sleepless wake
Holding empty thoughts
Of the hope from slain
Taking on tall walls
Hoping to prevail
Succeeding none
Always destined to fail
But never the less
Still strive fir victory
A feeling of equality
Pulling the strings
Striking new wars
Of pointless battles
Never to be truly won
But never to be truly lost
Faced with disaster
Charge forward into darkness
A meaningless existence
Of flaws and cons
Never learns the truth until the end
Called the greatest existences
But so utterly...

Immortal Me
I'm looking for an immortal butterfly
Just as the name implies,
It is a butterfly that will never die
Its transparent wings
Don't sparkle or shine
It quietly lives
Deceiving our human eyes
Sometimes it turns a passionate crimson
Sometimes a frozen clear blue
Sometimes a dull, earthy color
No one would call beautiful
Its wings change depending on its time and place
So the lucky people that are born to witness it
Know not that they have all
Seen the same butterfly
No one knows its true form
They don't know it exists
When they...

Another Cloud
I lay in the coldness of my defeat
My soul sour, not good to eat
The sky cries showing its ugly side
Only to me, the one trapped inside
I soak up its tears as they fall
I tell it "it's okay", to the others it calls
They wash their burdens onto me
I accept them a, whatever they may be
Soon they are all out of sorrows to spill
Inside my heart kills
The sky brightens to rays of another happier day
But what they give is not what they can give away
I try to soak in the hope, the warmth, the...
