Apparition
Time enough to see the reflection of your eyes,
in between the sparks of light.
What words had passed had long become memories.
Just flickers, now. A second out of darkness,
and then you fade into nothing, again.
How I wish you'd stay.
If you are even there, at all.
in between the sparks of light.
What words had passed had long become memories.
Just flickers, now. A second out of darkness,
and then you fade into nothing, again.
How I wish you'd stay.
If you are even there, at all.

Superbowl
We'll see who can really stand the fire
We'll watch the flames rise and you shrink away
We built this kingdom on top of the pyre
We'll watch it all burn by the end of the day
We've taken pride in becoming the savages
No more lessers to force to carry the baggage
If you're gonna be bad, be the worst
Drink even their blood if it'll quinch the thirst
All the morals and lies, poor mother and father
It's not enough to be alive, but to burden a child with hell
Clarity for the sick, but they wouldn't even bother
Lost in the struggle...

Thr3e
Inside a shell
Nothing to do
But drown in thought
Rock back and forth
Shivering from the cold
Can’t see my hands
To blow into them
Begging, please
Inside a hollow
Oh, to hear a sound
Other than my voices
Hard to grasp
What’s being said
And what’s just an echo
Begging, please
In pride, I starve
Something to keep
It’s hard to tell
Who I am today
Fly away
Fly away
Fly away
Begging you
Please
Waiting inside
How long to know
The final verdict ...

Inside
Shag rugs and velvet curtains
Red candles dripping down
The black furniture
Not unlike you to say yes
Content with time spent
Spent contorted and twisted
She's always gone when you're here
I never seem properly prepared
Deep in the belief you're the prey
Change again and show faces they never see
I never know who you are
And still you smile so precisely
Never hungry, but always wanting a bite
You kiss with a hunger
Others would shy from, spare the pain
The demons you hide ...

Bruciare il Libro (Burn the Book)
Talk about the one who never said a thing you preach
Just another excuse to overgrow your reach
One more hour of "prayer will come through"
The faith of inaction, but he did it all for you
How many more for the tree
Until salvation has been leeched?
How many more can it hold?
Just doing what they're told
Spinning on the wheel, just waiting for the knife to be thrown
Parlor tricks for dinner and a show, a tradition I've outgrown
Smile and spit out a lie, chipping teeth with a grin
Chant an "amen" and pray for another sin

Trifle
The silver burns my tongue
Speaking from such a lower stature
Eating alone at your table
I never failed to feel like a stranger
Never had to say much
Transition between family to martyr
Never said much of anything
Still they stare like they're a victim
Knock again and I'll open the door
I know why you're here
And what you want
It's not me, it's not this
Petty as it may be
I'll never let you have your key, again
As much as you can take from me
The soul is all that I can't give away
But in...

Tribulation
No questions that I recall
Tribulation and turmoil resonating
Throughout the silence of shock
How dare you tell me
To keep anything inside of me
Who are you to say
I'm wrong when you're right beside me
Killing me as I recall
Never solved a thing
I could never do anything right
Close the door and lock it away
Turn off the lights and turn up the TV
The screaming will surely stop
When he finally dies
How dare you tell me
To keep anything inside
Who the fuck are you
Why do you think you...

Torn Out Pages
i smile when they cry
i scream when they whisper
this is me
this is who i've become
no longer caring for sympathy
just another path, not for me
i follow behind you
with matches and gasoline
as you carefully replant
all of the fallen trees
no longer needing love
just another feeling, the action took away
no longer craving solidarity
just a means to compensate indecisiveness
we write love notes to our hearts
just in the hope of response
my love, how we shed the tears
meant to only...

Let Us
Like the letters never sent
The words between us are forever lost
The disdain lingers
In the ghost of passive aggression
Like the undeveloped film
Even the best memories
Remain in the dark
And are deemed worthless
Let's discuss the conditions of love
Let's talk about the short years
Of forever
Must seem slightly amusing
To watch the years take the toll
You so desperately prayed for
Must be so disappointing
To give it all away
And get none of that hope back
Let's play a different...

Rise and Rise Again
Died again today
Just to live for tomorrow
Suck down the pain and say
It's all worth the sorrow
Broken down again
Rise and fight again
Broke and down again
Rise and fly again
Camera and a microphone
Helps me feel like I'm not alone
Pictures and torn up memories
Gentle whispers of home
Broken down again
Rise and fight again
Broke and down again
Rise and fly again
Another knife, another rope
Another hug from a stranger
Another reason to try
Another reason to have hope
...
