DREAMSCAPE : DYSTOPIA
Veiled by smoke billows
The starlight has been consumed
A tithe for shadows
The starlight has been consumed
A tithe for shadows

DESICCATED
Heard the Siren singing
It echoes through the fen
Suddenly I'm swimming
Inside my head again
Save me, I'm helpless
Abandoned and breathless
The glaze over my eyes
It shrouds what I long to see
Are you still alive?
The years, they pass us by
I've died so many times
My past has become a dream
But the heart remains perpetual
It's the only thing that's real
And our fate remains eventual
No matter how we feel
Just come alive
Just tell a lie
Anything but nothing
Felt...
It echoes through the fen
Suddenly I'm swimming
Inside my head again
Save me, I'm helpless
Abandoned and breathless
The glaze over my eyes
It shrouds what I long to see
Are you still alive?
The years, they pass us by
I've died so many times
My past has become a dream
But the heart remains perpetual
It's the only thing that's real
And our fate remains eventual
No matter how we feel
Just come alive
Just tell a lie
Anything but nothing
Felt...

DROLL
Yeah, I've been used and hurt
It's not the same, but worse
The whole world, a blur
In which I'm immersed
But Hell can wait another day
Cause I'm in pain now, either way
There's my excuse to burn in flames
You know fire will not ever change
But I'm starting to believe a lie
Couldn't tell if there's a reason why
And the voices say that life is fine
So I'll drown just to float by
Dogs never bayed louder
Seems time always skips hours
A hopeless climax washed away
Well, I've got nothing left to say ...
It's not the same, but worse
The whole world, a blur
In which I'm immersed
But Hell can wait another day
Cause I'm in pain now, either way
There's my excuse to burn in flames
You know fire will not ever change
But I'm starting to believe a lie
Couldn't tell if there's a reason why
And the voices say that life is fine
So I'll drown just to float by
Dogs never bayed louder
Seems time always skips hours
A hopeless climax washed away
Well, I've got nothing left to say ...

DIORITE
Here we are
Somewhere between where we'd like to be
Passersby
On a twisted path toward vacuity
When frigid waters meet my feet
So far from drowning into sleep
I watch hope begin to shape
And through my fingers, swept away
But I know you see the same as me
Cause darkness needs no clarity
But I'm alone
And this is the fate which I cultivate
Bleeding out
All the substance my heart begs to save
Even though our love has passed
The ecstasy of pain will last
Just like memories obscured...
Somewhere between where we'd like to be
Passersby
On a twisted path toward vacuity
When frigid waters meet my feet
So far from drowning into sleep
I watch hope begin to shape
And through my fingers, swept away
But I know you see the same as me
Cause darkness needs no clarity
But I'm alone
And this is the fate which I cultivate
Bleeding out
All the substance my heart begs to save
Even though our love has passed
The ecstasy of pain will last
Just like memories obscured...

NOT HERE
Heart to heart
From the start
Oil the gout
With, without
Words slow down
Water crown
Overflowed
Worth in tow
Lost, said I won't trail
Kept winding, to and from Hell
Red goodbye, trust I exhale
The ghost I, it would not tell
Saved for last
Cooled too fast
Safe from health
Know me well
Step inside
Watch them glide
My white lies
Black sheep cries
Found, what I don't feel
Ripped to shreds, by the last wheel
Momentum, there is no...

Found you below shallow waters
Eating skipping stones, third
Colossus nil, a jaundiced grace
Trampling the one-way maze
Life is fleeting once you've died
Ephemeral as every lie, cried
You'd blame the jester every time
While looking God between his eyes
I wish it was I, stars in my head
And black holes between my toes
A solipsist once told me why
But I will never pass them by
Siphoned poison additive, inure
Soiled voice now redacted, pure
Weight increased, to hellish deep
An earthquake heard...

LUNE
Anew, by auburn waters rest
Gave it all to watch what's next
Those memories left, undress the eye
Fixated on the fleeting, unfeeling I
Yours, mercifully taken breath
Mine, most hastily abandoned
There, where your hopes remain
Among weeds I've neglected
A choice bequeathed
By finality
Whatever weather becomes of life
Whether my roots lay bare 'neath April sky
Wander atop my head, you are the sun tonight
Spear me through, lune, between now and soon
And you, nigh frozen wastes...
Gave it all to watch what's next
Those memories left, undress the eye
Fixated on the fleeting, unfeeling I
Yours, mercifully taken breath
Mine, most hastily abandoned
There, where your hopes remain
Among weeds I've neglected
A choice bequeathed
By finality
Whatever weather becomes of life
Whether my roots lay bare 'neath April sky
Wander atop my head, you are the sun tonight
Spear me through, lune, between now and soon
And you, nigh frozen wastes...

087-B
Down again I weep to tread
To deeper depths than reason can
My heart in hues of palest blue
With every corridor I lose
I count each brick that prisons me
As signs no longer have the means
That face that guides me from the way
As empty as my hopes astray
I'm forced to gaze upon my dread
When nought but Him walk in my head
It's what He speaks that torments me
'Don't look at me, don't look at me'
To deeper depths than reason can
My heart in hues of palest blue
With every corridor I lose
I count each brick that prisons me
As signs no longer have the means
That face that guides me from the way
As empty as my hopes astray
I'm forced to gaze upon my dread
When nought but Him walk in my head
It's what He speaks that torments me
'Don't look at me, don't look at me'

YOU DREAMT OF FATE FROM THE SHADE
Hatred built
A coffin sealed
The hollowed wail
Of stonework sails
Maelstrom-taught
To bleed, to clot
And scream for guilt
That she had not
Sorrow felt
A nail was pried
Poured earthen slow
By waters honed
To fall in place
To shame, to face
An edge to melt
And fill the space
Ice and lace
Crimson trace
'When roles reverse
The light is inert
And you'll be further than I've ventured'
A coffin sealed
The hollowed wail
Of stonework sails
Maelstrom-taught
To bleed, to clot
And scream for guilt
That she had not
Sorrow felt
A nail was pried
Poured earthen slow
By waters honed
To fall in place
To shame, to face
An edge to melt
And fill the space
Ice and lace
Crimson trace
'When roles reverse
The light is inert
And you'll be further than I've ventured'

EPITAPH II
There's nothing of value here
Ashes in a cup, apricot and almond
What detours passed me by
On this tangent through what I'll become?
There's a stream of light that's fading
As I fall deeper down the in-between
I can't deny as all hands extend
But they can't touch beyond their means
And you gaze at me through smoke
I wonder if you'll know just where I am
Before we get there
We spoke of happiness and pain
Just like we were young and naive
And the fear and doubt that passion brings
When...
Ashes in a cup, apricot and almond

I can't deny as all hands extend
But they can't touch beyond their means
And you gaze at me through smoke
I wonder if you'll know just where I am

THE GIFT OF FAMINE
My madness
Spent upon silver dew
And wilted yew
By the cracks in my shoulder
Ventured
Beyond soot and sleet
In the blackened wood
Rotted flesh, those paths
Of which I hew
And from the pale I am saved
Your ululations from the shade
To where my feeble heart rewinds
Your ululations I cannot find
This hollow season brings me pain
And sorrow, the trees know the same
For all that is emptied
Must be engorged by solidarity
As all must be
They bruise upon the twilight ...
Spent upon silver dew
And wilted yew
By the cracks in my shoulder
Ventured
Beyond soot and sleet
In the blackened wood
Rotted flesh, those paths
Of which I hew
And from the pale I am saved
Your ululations from the shade
To where my feeble heart rewinds
Your ululations I cannot find
This hollow season brings me pain
And sorrow, the trees know the same
For all that is emptied
Must be engorged by solidarity
As all must be
They bruise upon the twilight ...

D.O.A. (Y92.86)
I see the breadth of longing
Between the curtain-clothed draft
And the pungent, barbed glitter
That dusts these fingertips
For that option was already tried
The rust peeled from the sides
Fumes of loneliness pervade
The taste is of salt and sulphur
And the nausea that follows
Is a sweeter drug
Than laudanum
And aqueous does it flow
Upon the thirsty cement
As all things must crave freedom
Of all things that aren't free
So we share your sympathies...
Between the curtain-clothed draft
And the pungent, barbed glitter
That dusts these fingertips
For that option was already tried
The rust peeled from the sides
Fumes of loneliness pervade
The taste is of salt and sulphur
And the nausea that follows
Is a sweeter drug
Than laudanum
And aqueous does it flow
Upon the thirsty cement
As all things must crave freedom
Of all things that aren't free
So we share your sympathies...
