Life beyond Life
We are going to die
All that we have
All that love us
All that know of us
All will die
We will be forgotten
Every last human will die
Beyond us
Life will continue on
All that we have
All that love us
All that know of us
All will die
We will be forgotten
Every last human will die
Beyond us
Life will continue on

When a man thinks
He is not one but many
That which was
That which is
That which wills to be
Good intentions fall on past tendencies
Dreams land upon daggered memories
He is world within
World beyond
A Chaos
A Darkness
Working himself towards form
Give me strength, Oh Eye of Night
Freedom from Machine
An untethered heart
Devour me
Hollow me
Make me real
He is not one but many
That which was
That which is
That which wills to be
Good intentions fall on past tendencies
Dreams land upon daggered memories
He is world within
World beyond
A Chaos
A Darkness
Working himself towards form
Give me strength, Oh Eye of Night
Freedom from Machine
An untethered heart
Devour me
Hollow me
Make me real

I’m not sure what I want to write today.
I just know I want to.
That there’s a need to it, a necessity.
It feels like coming home.
Part of me that feels it needs to be structured or organized.
Something my life has never been.
Everything good that has came from me has been random bits of chaos.
Most of it, lost to the void.
Scattered thoughts on a sea of ambiguous pages spread throughout time and space.
Being honest, I’m not sure what will come of any of it.
I’ve died a thousand dreams and all I’ve got to show for it is who I am.

The Disease Called Hope
You hope for kindness
Something you cannot give
You hope for lasting happiness
Something you do not know
You hope for perfection
Something that does not exist
Life aches
The pain of age thrives
Ever blinded
Mystically illusioned
Hope shrouds
Throw away all fantasy
Die a dreamless death
Forget tomorrow
Something you cannot give
You hope for lasting happiness
Something you do not know
You hope for perfection
Something that does not exist
Life aches
The pain of age thrives
Ever blinded
Mystically illusioned
Hope shrouds
Throw away all fantasy
Die a dreamless death
Forget tomorrow

Flood
Let's take all of the blue from the sky, for the rest of days, and make an ocean out of it
Drown this world with your blessings
We will keep ourselves safe
May love be our raft
Floating above the waves
Gazing below the Stars
Drown this world with your blessings
We will keep ourselves safe
May love be our raft
Floating above the waves
Gazing below the Stars

Whispered Thoughts
That's all that I can say
That's all that I can do
I put my heart out
Now, it's up to you
Do you want to know?
Do you want to see?
Who I really am
Who I'm gonna' be
That's all that I can do
I put my heart out
Now, it's up to you
Do you want to know?
Do you want to see?
Who I really am
Who I'm gonna' be

A New Day
Light be alit
Flames be stirred
In the heart of an ant
In the heart of a bird
The Sky so blue
The Sun so bright
Spread your wings
Have a pleasant flight
Live well
Flames be stirred
In the heart of an ant
In the heart of a bird
The Sky so blue
The Sun so bright
Spread your wings
Have a pleasant flight
Live well

Thoughts unchosen
Thoughts unavoidable
Timeless creations
Crafted before Time
Tempered by Fate
Millions of men
Screaming in one sound
Eons of everything
Bountiful Bliss
Glorious Anger
All that is
All that can be
Run through me
I am the Gate
God given form

Birds
Scavengers of the skies
Picking parts unbroken
Clinging to working pieces
Taking what you want to see
Selectively biting me
The light you love
Complexly created
Crafted in darkness
Every part REAL
Every part FEELS
Wars are waging within
To be the man that I want to be
Yet the past has claws
It rips and shreds
I stumble and fall
Each falter
Each flaw shown
Another bird flees
A world...

I'm not I
I'm not a fire
You're not a fire
We're the air
You're not a fire
