Conversing a Fire
Wrapped up in a fire
That has turned so cold
Shifting between pain and desire
The feelings, so bold
The twisting licks of the flame
That engulf my mind
Take form many a different name
Now all recognized, from pressure and time
The pride that falls to nothing
In its' very own wake
The nothing that drives me to something
Left waiting, for some lost day
The thoughts screamed in my mind
By fire's icy voice
Make it the thoughts I want to find
But still make the fire my only choice
That has turned so cold
Shifting between pain and desire
The feelings, so bold
The twisting licks of the flame
That engulf my mind
Take form many a different name

The pride that falls to nothing
In its' very own wake
The nothing that drives me to something
Left waiting, for some lost day
The thoughts screamed in my mind
By fire's icy voice
Make it the thoughts I want to find
But still make the fire my only choice

Poisoned Cognitive
The war we wage on ourselves
Is the one that give the most hell
The fights we lose
Are the ones that reveal the truths
The times we break
Are result of the bonds we break
The bonds we break
Are result of wanting to wait
And wish to see a light drag itself over the wake
The time we take ourselves down
Are the only times that ever come back around
When we're not good enough
And do all these things to us
We crucify ourselves on false hope
And when it all burns down, find that it's the love that makes us choke
Not the ashes
But in...

The Ignorant f**k
Buried in the ground
We see it sleeping,
a shadow of your former self.
And it is just a shame you're still around
Hopefully deaths cold grip won't come creeping
and put in danger your health.
We see the imbecile
We loathe what he's now become
an ignorant fuck.
Running around he acts a fool
He places himself on high, we see he has hurt someone
and they now run about like a child wishing him bad luck.
We step back and let the man curse the ignorant fucks name
We no longer support him
and we can no longer take the lies.

Found a bottle and it rattled
Um, so yeah, it's all good now
I found a cloud
And it's nice
It'll suffice
I don't even feel the bed
Thoughts are exploding out of my head
But I can still type
Weird, right?
I was nervous
But now I think I'm curious
Of what tomorrow will bring
Maybe we'll smile, or maybe fight bells will ring
I don't want to go down again
But I don't want to be your friend
Yeah, I found a bottle
And when I shook it I heard a rattle
8 pills
Because not all wounds does time heal
Sometimes you gotta get time motivated
And get that stuff...

Thoughts
My head's pounding
As I dig into the ground it's slowly unveiling
The thoughts I thought had been lost in some other thought
Never did I think I'd sought
Out to find them
Looking to remember them
Now I do
And I feel like a hammer to a screw
It won't work
And all that comes is hurt
And I can't stop it
At this point I'm not even shocked by it
It's just here
Sitting on a mad chair
A thought that I'd never thought I'd have sought
But now it's open under the light
And it's so wrong but so right
The thought of thoughts

Your beloved f**king hero
Your oh so worshiped hero
Now leaves you hanging at zero
You run to bow to what you know
And only have ruin left to show
You neglect to think for yourself
Now you're supposedly damned to "hell"
You've got religion lurking on the prow
And now you don't even know how
You stay sleeping in the confines of a god you don't even feel
Yet you still drag behind it at its heel
Every word ever written about it
You've never had courage enough to doubt it
You're such a damn fool
You bow down to ignorant rules
Your beloved fucking hero...

In its sane
Crawling up on the floor
It makes its way to the door
Bringing what I fear the most
Coming in a horrific host
Backspaced
Erased
After this there'll be no trace
Of what it was
Of seeing such
Just a pile of empty bones
Left to roam when you're alone
Blocking your thoughts
Making its way to the watch
Slow down time
Now make it rhyme
Do this today
Or it won't go away
Creeps over your eyes
And you start to believe the lies
Seethes into your brain
Now feel no more shame
Run from the dark ...

Just an empty carcass
Just an empty carcass
Left to sit by the grass
With a drink in one hand
I could still make my stand
But will still just lay here counting the clouds
Because I'm too afraid to look on the ground
For answers
Because the ground's answers spread into my brain like that cancer
That consumed your soul
So we packed our problems away in a bowl
It was too late anyway
Sick was there to make a stay
So gradually the feelings slipped away
And you never made it to the next day
And I turned to the only family I knew
The one that sleeps in...

I'm not inclined to understand
I'm not inclined
To understand your resign
And I won't.
I'll never understand why you gave up
Why you just let it all turn to dust
But I guess it doesn't surprise me, it's turned into your wont.
But what kills me is what was there
And the time you spent to get it to tear
And it really kills me.
You were what dreams are made of...
Dark, monsters, hate, very little love
You've turned into a fucking nightmare.
But a part of you still cared
When you saw me standing there
In the dark
So...

I could run away
I could run away
Today could be your last day
To see me
So don't beat me
I know how to play my cards
I know how to live on the shards
Of a broken life
I could leave behind the wrong and take up the right
I could just get out of here
Then I wouldn't have you to fear
You don't see how easy it would be for me to walk out the door
And I won't come back looking for anything more
I could just run away
And everything would be great
Today could be your last day
To see me
So don't beat me
I know how to play my cards
I know how to live on the shards
Of a broken life
I could leave behind the wrong and take up the right
I could just get out of here
Then I wouldn't have you to fear
You don't see how easy it would be for me to walk out the door

I could just run away

Less than zero
I'm a super hero with no powers
so I guess that leaves me at hero.
I'm a hero with no bravery
so I guess that leaves me as zero.
But even the worst of the zeros are better than I
so that puts me at less than zero,
And I feel just fine.
