Feasting for Freedom
Do I think too much
Am I just too cerebral
Is there any group to touch
Do I wish for free fall
Can anybody hear my mind
Dissipating disassociation
I feel myself try to hide
Color desaturation
As I cross my eyes
I'll just dot my tees
What immaturity buys
Pinch skin, make a crease
I look toward the futures
and it scares me deeply
I remember all past sutures
and it scars me meekly
Maybe I'm simply hiding
and eating away in shame
Perhaps I'm time biding
and killing myself to feign
...

Theistic Proportions
Screaming to the sky I knelt down and uttered, "Dear God, he who created this forsaken life, answer me."
"What are you doing?" The voice droned.
"I am praying to him who created me to try and maybe find some semblance of peace and hope. Maybe I'll get a response and I'll have meaning of my miserable existence."
"What do you think life is about?"
The question was definitely strange but not one that catches your imagination by surprise. My mind began the way I had been trained to whenever it was prompted.
"To fulfill the will of my God and...

Flail
Plan your escape of
The ironic drape, love
Citizen wander while
Evil ponder trial
String from the rafter, produce out future
You're blasphemous crafters vaginal culture
Embarrassment lifting controlling pastures
Masculine grifting feminine bastions
Listen intently forgotten
Own a bentley poor
Searching valid views
Surreptitious ballad pews
Dichotomic please with
Enemy desert, gliff
Lies of honesty, truth
Entitlement postulate, sooth
We are already living past
Due dates of empires past ...
The ironic drape, love
Citizen wander while
Evil ponder trial
String from the rafter, produce out future
You're blasphemous crafters vaginal culture
Embarrassment lifting controlling pastures
Masculine grifting feminine bastions
Listen intently forgotten
Own a bentley poor
Searching valid views
Surreptitious ballad pews
Dichotomic please with
Enemy desert, gliff
Lies of honesty, truth
Entitlement postulate, sooth
We are already living past
Due dates of empires past ...

The Things I Miss
There are plenty of things that I miss
Plenty that I look back upon with simple bliss
I never knew how simple it could be
To lose all semblance of reality
-Sitting with the stars every night
-Seeing my own Sky perform it's ritual for only me
-Listening to the world revolve for me
-Thinking my universe intersects with yours
-Seeing the clouds that pass on by
-Breathing with the stars that are plastered on my ceiling
-Understanding my place when I look up
-Knowing my significance
-Seeing that which others miss
The sky...
Plenty that I look back upon with simple bliss
I never knew how simple it could be
To lose all semblance of reality
-Sitting with the stars every night
-Seeing my own Sky perform it's ritual for only me
-Listening to the world revolve for me
-Thinking my universe intersects with yours
-Seeing the clouds that pass on by
-Breathing with the stars that are plastered on my ceiling
-Understanding my place when I look up
-Knowing my significance
-Seeing that which others miss
The sky...

Inside the Eggshell
Brightness fading
Fear growing
Tears falling
Blood dripping
Love fading
Scars growing
Life falling
Hope dripping
Can you help me
Fucking moron
Selfish asshole
Can you help me
Godless heathens fucking to scripture
Procreating for mass appeal
Can you help me
Truth sits inside you
Freedom lives away from you
Honesty is an illness you (cannot run from)
Lying is paying you (devoid of real emotion)
Random words are fulfilling
They're what you want to base
Random words are...
Fear growing
Tears falling
Blood dripping
Love fading
Scars growing

Our Orbits Were Too Close
I slouched back down in my seat as I felt the hum of the car's engine beneath my hand. I felt like I had just been slapped across the face. I looked up to see the red, wet streaks on the pavement as the tears began to roll down my face. I opened the windows and turned up the music to cover my feelings so I couldn't think.
I didn't want to think-
I didn't want to feel-
I didn't want to exist-
I didn't want -
The gravity of what I had just said, just typed, was grabbing at my heart strings and de-tuning my life. My truth was slapping me and...

It Used to be Fun
You couldn't care less about my life
You simple want me in yours
The present tension breaks the knife
Who knows what's said behind closed doors
I wait to think back
Was my excitement all a ruse
I remember not keeping track
I wonder, could you understand abuse
Please wait, it used to be fun
Determined fate, I guess you won
Please wait, my feelings are gone
Personal hate, I will be done
I could have sworn that all along
You forgot that I exist
Holy water in your bong
Your opinions were mental kissed
...
You simple want me in yours
The present tension breaks the knife
Who knows what's said behind closed doors
I wait to think back
Was my excitement all a ruse
I remember not keeping track
I wonder, could you understand abuse
Please wait, it used to be fun
Determined fate, I guess you won
Please wait, my feelings are gone
Personal hate, I will be done
I could have sworn that all along
You forgot that I exist
Holy water in your bong

The Final Barrier
Words are tools;
Axes and swords and hammers of those for whom
thought was created;
False guides of hope and prosperity while equally
dooming those whom would oppose.
Anger becomes truth, only if used to an end-
Spite becomes righteousness, if
the innocent can no longer defend-
Hatred becomes rule, if those who harbor it are seen as gods.
Faith is a fickle beast:
Taught yet adaptable;
Strict yet interpreted.
A world where faith is seen for honor and respect is a personalized utopia-
An end of humanity as seen from grace.

Holy Ghost
(Sacrilegious "Leda and the Swan")
TW: r*pe, abuse, sacrilegious
As she lay all alone on her cot,
Upon where she and Joseph had tried before.
She wondered was it her fault or not,
For they had yet to conceive and adore.
Then she loved him as much as she could;
Granted she must, for what her father was paid.
She wondered if she very much should,
But she thought either way, she would be paid.
She invited HIM while he was out.
She figured, "why not? He will think it is his."
But soon a shadow was cast of doubt,
As...

Lyrics of an Untamed Past
You still try to explain to me
Why I should follow you blindly
But I know that it's untrue
When you say "I love you"
We could sit for hours
But he's the one deflowers
Virginia was first, you were second
You simply answered the call, with which he beckoned
So, I don't care about your pains
And to you it's only rape if she complains
But now I know that I've run out of luck
And for you, I guess, I don't give a fuck
I still drive past
A parking lot of stories cast
A fucking lot has changed
My mental life has become...
Why I should follow you blindly
But I know that it's untrue
When you say "I love you"
We could sit for hours
But he's the one deflowers

You simply answered the call, with which he beckoned
So, I don't care about your pains
And to you it's only rape if she complains
But now I know that I've run out of luck
And for you, I guess, I don't give a fuck
I still drive past
A parking lot of stories cast
A fucking lot has changed
My mental life has become...

The Universe's Loving Children
As T stomped towards the exit sign, D screamed "Don't let the door hit you on the way out!"
T spun around to retort, "Well, maybe it would if you ever fixed the door!"
"You're the one with the tools! You make it happen! You fix it! You have the time to fix it!"
"Well, maybe I would if you ever told me to. But, 'it's not my plan'" T mocked.
As the door slammed, D broke down sobbing. The tears fell off of D's cheeks; the rain poured down below.
The clocks had all gone dark, as usual for when T left, but this time (no pun intended) there...

Relative Orbital
Some days I catch myself flying in my dreams
Listening to songs I think remind me of lost leaves
I soar to the end waiting for new tomorrow
Leaving my life to be a brand new sorrow
Your gravity pulls me back in
I imagine it all, fortunate sin
Bleeding hearts sob, as if we care
Saying "goodnight" still leaves me bare
When I see myself flaying over vacant seas
I notice my life is powered by your trees
Maybe I'm just too self-centered to let go
I wish I could explain maybe actually let you know
Disappointment shudders...
Listening to songs I think remind me of lost leaves
I soar to the end waiting for new tomorrow
Leaving my life to be a brand new sorrow
Your gravity pulls me back in
I imagine it all, fortunate sin
Bleeding hearts sob, as if we care
Saying "goodnight" still leaves me bare
When I see myself flaying over vacant seas
I notice my life is powered by your trees
Maybe I'm just too self-centered to let go
I wish I could explain maybe actually let you know
Disappointment shudders...
