American Spirit, The Yellow Pack Please
Nicotine
Vile temptress
Alluring with seductions of a temporary sanity
A mental addiction
To a quiet sanctuary
Promises to muffle the silent screams in my head
To slice my wrists
& inject solace straight into my veins
My worst enemy
Disguised as an old friend
Numbing temptations
In false consolations
The first stop
On my pathway to self destruction
Vile temptress
Alluring with seductions of a temporary sanity
A mental addiction
To a quiet sanctuary
Promises to muffle the silent screams in my head
To slice my wrists
& inject solace straight into my veins
My worst enemy
Disguised as an old friend
Numbing temptations
In false consolations
The first stop
On my pathway to self destruction

The Blackened Rainbow Of The Wicked
Standing in the shadows of souls forsaken
Soft hands grasp a jagged, rusty blade
I can still hear the echoing of his nails scraping across my heart as it crumbled
Smoking in his palm..
(Fingers itch behind his back)
"Come, my friend.."
Whispers a sinister smirk curling from his snarling lips
The sweet smell of his chloroform words numbing my senses
& I crawl
(reluctant)
On my knees..
(trembling)
My hands pierced with shattered glass
On a dark path
Filled with the stench of a deserted sanctuary in...
Soft hands grasp a jagged, rusty blade
I can still hear the echoing of his nails scraping across my heart as it crumbled
Smoking in his palm..
(Fingers itch behind his back)
"Come, my friend.."
Whispers a sinister smirk curling from his snarling lips
The sweet smell of his chloroform words numbing my senses
& I crawl
(reluctant)
On my knees..
(trembling)
My hands pierced with shattered glass
On a dark path
Filled with the stench of a deserted sanctuary in...

The Black Suits
Strangling plastic smiles
In a procession of obsession
An eclipse of spiritual unity
In the ashes of my redemption
Wallowing in this frequency of obscurity
My eyes see though pulsing microbes
& atoms of a tainted society fabric
I am the cancer
( Rotting )
Stifling your thinking
( Suffocate )
A seeping infection
Amongst the droning
Of incubating feeble minds
These corporate roses smell like deception
( Corruption )
I am a requiem for free will
Mourning freshly sterilized thoughts ...
In a procession of obsession
An eclipse of spiritual unity
In the ashes of my redemption
Wallowing in this frequency of obscurity
My eyes see though pulsing microbes
& atoms of a tainted society fabric
I am the cancer

( Suffocate )
A seeping infection
Amongst the droning

Blunt Force Trauma
Alone again today..
A rarity, this cold day in Hell
The black sheets rustle in an echo of deafening silence next to me
Like an acidic laced Chinese water torture
The sheer force of its energy sends chills like knives running over the covering of my bones
Puncturing my veins
A ghost town in my heart..
& the rusty door to my tranquility moans in the dying winds
( I'm waiting, aching for the dust to settle.. )
A symphony of static vibrations corrupts the transmission of my solace
As I climb out of the bloody wreckage that is my mind...
A rarity, this cold day in Hell
The black sheets rustle in an echo of deafening silence next to me

& the rusty door to my tranquility moans in the dying winds
( I'm waiting, aching for the dust to settle.. )
A symphony of static vibrations corrupts the transmission of my solace
As I climb out of the bloody wreckage that is my mind...

Freedom: Act 1, Scene 1
Bleeding memories
Trampling insecurities
In dampened breaths
Of an unforgiving eternity
Ruins on my path to tranquility
A cemetery of scars
Solitude infecting my soul
Penetrating seeping wounds in my subconscious
Overdosing on a stagnant reality
That burns the skin from my blind eyes
Trampling insecurities
In dampened breaths
Of an unforgiving eternity
Ruins on my path to tranquility
A cemetery of scars
Solitude infecting my soul
Penetrating seeping wounds in my subconscious
Overdosing on a stagnant reality
That burns the skin from my blind eyes

Eternal Sunshine
It's only so often
the door opens to yourself
peeling off the skin of the what was
I was left toying with a fabled sanctuary
so I treaded on old wounds
& decided that even if I drown here
once the ripples birthed waves
In his eyes
I was home
the door opens to yourself
peeling off the skin of the what was
I was left toying with a fabled sanctuary
so I treaded on old wounds
& decided that even if I drown here
once the ripples birthed waves
In his eyes
I was home

Sandpaper Tears
It's like a spike through the forehead
& my feathered lashes are not thick enough to shield me from the aftershocks
(it's left me shaken)
To know had I lie bleeding
You would have stepped around the pooling blood
just to save the mess from your shoes
Your eyes pierced me
Though you seemed to stare right through me
(like I was never even nothing)
(to you) I had become a transparent past, replaceable
(but once, you were my world)
Another broken step (misplaced)
on your search for something more
So I struggle...
& my feathered lashes are not thick enough to shield me from the aftershocks
(it's left me shaken)
To know had I lie bleeding
You would have stepped around the pooling blood
just to save the mess from your shoes
Your eyes pierced me
Though you seemed to stare right through me
(like I was never even nothing)
(to you) I had become a transparent past, replaceable
(but once, you were my world)
Another broken step (misplaced)
on your search for something more
So I struggle...

Melodic Elements
I remember the taste of you parting from my lips (musically intertwined)
(though never having tasted you)
It sang (bitter) sweetly
Falling from splintered halos
Harassing a fami(liar) empathy
as though that kind of flaw could sever the stems of apathy
I am absorbing the aftershocks that choked out my s(hell)ed dreams
(now silence, just.. silence..)
& as if I was stripped down & broken
you unwound me
(though never having tasted you)
It sang (bitter) sweetly
Falling from splintered halos
Harassing a fami(liar) empathy
as though that kind of flaw could sever the stems of apathy
I am absorbing the aftershocks that choked out my s(hell)ed dreams
(now silence, just.. silence..)
& as if I was stripped down & broken
you unwound me

He Is A Walking Vincent Reproduction
The reveries alwayscease too fast
Ascreeching halt
& I'm face first through the windshield
Back behind this glass wall of reality
Etching your name in my breath's fog
Mymind speaks in tongues
My heart
to foolish to listen
or even care
that it hasleft me breaking
& the stars turn their heads tonight
& sometimes they scream back at me
& sometimes
I feel interwoven with their fabrics
Pearly arms stretching outwards through my mouth
just to wipe my stillborn tears away
from this now acid...

Last Stop ~ S. Alma School Rd
My love
a Picasso massacre
& I'm now bleeding in between your foreordained lines
( my hands are bound )
Stop the carving of your name
in calligraphy on my heart
( your writing is illegible )
Spare me
your sarcastic council of despair
( just tie the last knot in my noose )
The familiarity of silence
painted the skies
& I shiver in the presence
of this illusion
Stitching splintered fragments of my pride
( you're still falling all
around me )
Because whats the point of dying
if I'm...

Gag Reflex(tion)
Biting my tongue until it bleeds
If the screaming in my head was any louder
I'd go deaf
Attempting to purge my afflictions
Wallowing in this frequency of obscurity
As my broken heart lies bleeding
Discarded at his feet
If the screaming in my head was any louder
I'd go deaf
Attempting to purge my afflictions
Wallowing in this frequency of obscurity
As my broken heart lies bleeding
Discarded at his feet

Shotgun Deconstruction
He reeked of death
Eyes glazed over
Hollow
Fucking my thinking
Breaths full of regret
Shedding the mass produced thoughts of the world
My heartache like cancer
Spreading
Puncture my lungs
As cold steel scrapes over the covering of my bones
The pain
Infectious
Words like bullets
Carving into my flesh
Eyes glazed over
Hollow
Fucking my thinking
Breaths full of regret
Shedding the mass produced thoughts of the world
My heartache like cancer
Spreading
Puncture my lungs
As cold steel scrapes over the covering of my bones
The pain
Infectious
Words like bullets
Carving into my flesh
