Bodies
My eyes are made of glass
My body stripped of skin
My bones are made of mirrors
My blood it runs with sin
I will let you wander
Into my hollow skull
Let you run your hands along
My lost, unholy soul
My lips and tongue will spin the silk
My fingers weave the lies
My skin leads the massacre
My breath drowns out their cries
Spoken words of velvet
That wrap around your wrists
Binding you to slaughtered oak
God knows you won't resist
...
My body stripped of skin

My blood it runs with sin
I will let you wander

Let you run your hands along

My fingers weave the lies
My skin leads the massacre
My breath drowns out their cries
Spoken words of velvet
That wrap around your wrists
Binding you to slaughtered oak
God knows you won't resist

Father
Smiles painted
All in red
Bury bodies
Raise the dead
Poison nails
Feel the wrath
This shallow breath
Shall be your last
Hang the traitors
Hell will rise
Annihilate
The Devil cries
Clouds of crimson
Turn to grey
Father clocks
You've only days
Forgive me Lord
For I confess
I had no choice
I've nothing left
Nothing could quite
Match the taste
Of lives run dry
And skulls defaced
All in red
Bury bodies
Raise the dead
Poison nails
Feel the wrath
This shallow breath
Shall be your last
Hang the traitors
Hell will rise
Annihilate
The Devil cries
Clouds of crimson
Turn to grey
Father clocks
You've only days
Forgive me Lord
For I confess
I had no choice
I've nothing left
Nothing could quite
Match the taste
Of lives run dry
And skulls defaced

Final Score- Superstition Competition
The dreaded dawn is introduced
The innocent become accused
The words like poison upon the lips
Once brought to life, the sorrow sits
The hand is set though you can't move
For what you've done, you can't undo
Leaving home and every step
Leaves a mark of your regrets
You had to do it-this you know
The screams you hear will never go
The sun has left and you return
A miracle? Or lesson learned?
The score is settled, to your dismay
They lost that goddamn football game.
The innocent become accused
The words like poison upon the lips
Once brought to life, the sorrow sits
The hand is set though you can't move
For what you've done, you can't undo
Leaving home and every step
Leaves a mark of your regrets
You had to do it-this you know
The screams you hear will never go
The sun has left and you return
A miracle? Or lesson learned?
The score is settled, to your dismay
They lost that goddamn football game.

Strangers
Fragile dreams in trembling hands
Veils of darkness drape lost lands
Seduced by sirens
Candied calls
Like silken hair
The lies will fall
Dreamy seas that turn to black
Blood that runs down spines of backs
Their travels take them
All but dead
To Hell and back
With more ahead
Stars will fall upon new worlds
With poison dew upon the shore
Salvation is here
They rest their eyes
Though wake once more
Dehumanized
The hopes they cling to dissipate
Come to naught. Now it's too late ...
Veils of darkness drape lost lands
Seduced by sirens
Candied calls
Like silken hair
The lies will fall
Dreamy seas that turn to black
Blood that runs down spines of backs
Their travels take them
All but dead
To Hell and back
With more ahead
Stars will fall upon new worlds
With poison dew upon the shore
Salvation is here
They rest their eyes
Though wake once more
Dehumanized
The hopes they cling to dissipate
Come to naught. Now it's too late ...

The Last Twilight
Morrow or twilight?
It really does not make a difference. Not now.
Coals underfoot. He must move.
He holds such power.
It forms a noose around his neck.
It tightens at the draw of each breath.
Still, he jumps.
Foolish, to inquire about one's own mortality in such a way.
Or sound?
Oh, what a sight it must be to lie within his skull!
Would I shift the domain?
Or would I kill for a spell of some exquisite mastery ?
Even if it meant that I, myself, would be on the wrong end of a sword?
I try to draw from the well of my hidden...

Fait Accompli
With careful touch we plant the seeds
Hide them within hollow trees
Sugar glass and broken bones
Memories and skipping stones
Nightmares were the worst of us
Now we burn our worlds to dust
And with Heaven, we shall fall
No one spared, they'll take us all
Unworthy lies we loved to sing
Fairy tales, Kings and Queens
Unprepared and so naive
Forever damned, they're sure to bleed
Hide them within hollow trees
Sugar glass and broken bones
Memories and skipping stones
Nightmares were the worst of us
Now we burn our worlds to dust
And with Heaven, we shall fall
No one spared, they'll take us all
Unworthy lies we loved to sing
Fairy tales, Kings and Queens
Unprepared and so naive
Forever damned, they're sure to bleed

Dreary
Drink up whisky
Let it burn
Dreary words
And lessons learned
Is it true though?
Have I lost?
Will I find answers
'Neath these rocks?
But these lights
Seem as unreal
As the secrets kept
'Neath royals' seals
We reap, we sew
There's no escape
We take our fall
We seal our fate
Tired now
With hollowed bones
And I've realized
I'm the one they loathe
Lips sewn shut
No one will know
River...
Let it burn
Dreary words
And lessons learned
Is it true though?
Have I lost?
Will I find answers
'Neath these rocks?
But these lights
Seem as unreal
As the secrets kept
'Neath royals' seals
We reap, we sew
There's no escape
We take our fall
We seal our fate
Tired now
With hollowed bones
And I've realized
I'm the one they loathe
Lips sewn shut
No one will know

Phantom Pain II
Color-stained
From toe to crown.
Immaculate
And so profound.
Intoxicating
By design.
Prodigal.
Immortalized.
Honey rests
On satin lips.
Inviting me.
I can't resist.
Waves of sand
That fill my lungs.
No words, my love.
We speak in tongues.
Your hands like rope
Around my neck.
Ravage me
'Til nothing's left.
Map my frame
Limb to limb.
Trace our shapes
And sing our hymns.
Let me sip
On your disease.
And drink this dream
That...
From toe to crown.
Immaculate
And so profound.
Intoxicating
By design.
Prodigal.
Immortalized.
Honey rests
On satin lips.
Inviting me.
I can't resist.
Waves of sand
That fill my lungs.
No words, my love.
We speak in tongues.
Your hands like rope
Around my neck.
Ravage me
'Til nothing's left.
Map my frame
Limb to limb.
Trace our shapes
And sing our hymns.
Let me sip
On your disease.
And drink this dream
That...

Prophets
And death shall linger in the air
Catastrophe
Yet no regrets
'Til demons drift
Upon door steps
While truth resides within the throats
Of prophets who
Cannot repent
Decay with us
The innocent

Phantom Pain I
A single word
Would serenade
My soul. A taste.
It's all I crave.
Endless art.
A broken arm.
Heavy hearts
And smoke alarms.
This ecstasy
It fills my dreams.
My God.
I'd give you everything.
To feel your words
Upon my skin.
Execute
My darkest sins.
The dread that burns
Beneath my flesh.
To walk this road
Is certain death.
There's beauty though
In my despair. ...
