Revelations Wrapped in Anxiety
Sign the paper they said
6 months, so you wont be dead.
Why would I sign?
You took me and mom to sit.
You were full of shit.
You wanted to lay blame.
Talking. Talking
'Til the cop came.
"Come with me, son, it will be okay.
Act right, we won't need the restraint."
Cop took me away,
Everything okay.
Nothing to do, bounce off the walls.
My brain as scrambled as the halls.
Farther we drive
To destinies call.
Where even the cop left me to crawl.

Maggot Brain
The maggot brain self
Dying
Do to the system of our discontent.
The system made by a laughing, masturbating, godless
cur.
What are we to be without this cannibalistic society.
Hold true to your rotting living corpse
Until the waves beyond sight stop rolling.

Atom To Adam
Would they the tidings of the grand call.
The sea does not settle for you or I.
What great memories locked beyond the brain's electric.
Remember, the servers too are electric.
I fashion for you all a dress of skin and bone.
Chemicals are but symptoms of the dreaming here.
Bubble and collide until the atom is born.
Atom, but Adam, a building block for Christians, but older still.
What need do I have for this knowledge.
An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind.
A mouth to a mouth...
The sea does not settle for you or I.
What great memories locked beyond the brain's electric.
Remember, the servers too are electric.
I fashion for you all a dress of skin and bone.
Chemicals are but symptoms of the dreaming here.
Bubble and collide until the atom is born.
Atom, but Adam, a building block for Christians, but older still.
What need do I have for this knowledge.
An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind.
A mouth to a mouth...

Into the Dreaming Land
Rays of light fall down the way,
But I cannot be here to stay,
I must close my eyes and lay.
Into the black,
Into the vistas of the deep,
That is where my mind does sleep.
Deeper still into the dreaming land.
Deeper still into the roil.
Deeper still into the unknown.
But I cannot be here to stay,
I must close my eyes and lay.
Into the black,
Into the vistas of the deep,
That is where my mind does sleep.
Deeper still into the dreaming land.
Deeper still into the roil.
Deeper still into the unknown.

Loam
The storm outside is violent,
But I can't hear over my
silence.
We live in a million little problems.
What a rush they say.
I call for no more.
Unregistered voice inside this loam.
The masses make me feel so
alone.
But I can't hear over my
silence.
We live in a million little problems.
What a rush they say.
I call for no more.
Unregistered voice inside this loam.
The masses make me feel so
alone.

Queen of Pain
Queen of all pain
I remember you name.
Speak to me if you dare,
I couldn't regress, I couldn't hold bare.
With empty mouth you shuttered nigh,
To raise yourself above on high.
What twinkle have I gained,
That I above it remember your name.
I remember you name.
Speak to me if you dare,
I couldn't regress, I couldn't hold bare.
With empty mouth you shuttered nigh,
To raise yourself above on high.
What twinkle have I gained,
That I above it remember your name.

Dead
What is dead cannot bind;
Through sands of madness,
Through rivers of time.
Through sands of madness,
Through rivers of time.

Into the Night
What is red,
With death's wings on fire flight,
Streaking into the bleak obsidian night.
With death's wings on fire flight,
Streaking into the bleak obsidian night.

Yesterday
Questions, yes, they flow.
Questions, stopping, I cannot say--
For the sins of yesterday.

A Moments Time
I've kissed her lips,
Heart aflutter.
I've caressed her skin,
Mind gone blank.
I've held her close,
A perchance for joy.
Heart aflutter.
I've caressed her skin,
Mind gone blank.
I've held her close,
A perchance for joy.

SHE
I've seen her in my dreams a thousand times.
She has kissed me and told me it will be alright.
She often cuddles close to me.
She is everything I need and more.
I hold her in my daydreams until she is no more.
She has kissed me and told me it will be alright.
She often cuddles close to me.
She is everything I need and more.
I hold her in my daydreams until she is no more.
