God of Grief
Sorrowful sacrament
Justification through jesus
Laying low with liars
Distance disturbing
Divnity
Drowning disiples
Masking malice masterfully
Ministers misleading
Blind believers
Bleeding blissfully.

A Chant for Dismemberment
No usurper to overthrow
A supposed throne
Nothing of an applause
It is not appropriate
All life downward
From my spiral
It was pathetic denial
Some become idols
They are fine actors
If not confident liars
Worshipped by shells
Empty, blind and anemic
I'm an alcoholic
Though I am aware
Of the bullshit
Spread like a pleague
I was never confused
Upon these heights
That brought me low
I am the silloutte
at sunrise, in the gallows.

Spread like a pleague

All Souls in Slumber
Lock eyes with a masochist
Swimming in the darkness
Would you take a few timid steps
With the hand of heaviness?
Dance the way the dead do
In a casket, in a church
In a grave for those still breathing
Calling out names and lamenting
Jesus and Satan, angels silent
With the innocent repenting
The heart is a serpant sleeping
The dying, the non-believer
The blind follower, cryptkeeper
The songstress, the forever-sleeper
...

Sixteen Years Ago I Was Seven and Smarter
Some days never fucking end
When they do, they begin again
and again and again
Thanks for all the corrections
They're so helpful
You're a sweetheart
And Google apparently
But I won't argue, I'm probably wrong
I usually am
"Always actually"
Yes, yes I am always wrong
I hope I die young and alone.

In the Doorway A Body
Four years, I'll never forget
the fog rolls dense.
Satisfy a wandering mind
with thoughts, color
chemically high with no life.
Everything lost from such a gain
Every effort to change ended in vain
Pitiful soul, hung from a dog's chain.

Image of Winter
A love softly subdued
Succumbed
No rebirth
Embrace a serpent
Arms of a lair
No winner
My image of winter

A Future in Bleeding
I'm a mere photograph of who I used to want to be
This future to me seems to be growing more ghastly
Fondle through memories that presently seem
to be little more than another midday fever-dream
I want to exist in a cheap motel lit by a single beam
Of light flickering illuminating my lifeless little scene
A Televison with no picture after I smashed the screen
Just muttering fools selling me a get-rich-quick scheme
Something happened in my youth
I'll never actually tell you
Because those are words I choose
Never...
This future to me seems to be growing more ghastly
Fondle through memories that presently seem
to be little more than another midday fever-dream

Just muttering fools selling me a get-rich-quick scheme
Something happened in my youth
I'll never actually tell you
Because those are words I choose

Delicate
Thread of pattern;
Held us, without reason
I attempted your suggestion
Stretched your skin to fit
Slipped into it entirely
Covered my head
Still I endure this
Omnipresent fear
Of falling into a chasm of dead-
Visceral surrounding's drear
Protected wound;
Forgotten voices
Tug at me
Dedicate a world
A season of imagery
To the unravel
Of this pattern
Smooth skinned-gravel
Scrapes gently this ghostly- ...

That Name Doesn't Ring A Bell
I'll never forget you
Though my name
Is of a stranger
I am the same
And you've changed
You figured it out
And I have surrendered
To my endless doubt.
Though my name

Soothsayer
Climb over my horizon
Entice passions subtle
Death spoke of you
In a dream of prophcey.

It Burned Slowly/ A Life of Last Breaths
We fell from the heavens
On the remains of life
Lost in fragments
Floating particals of ash
It covers the earth entirely
Tirelessly unrelenting
Smoke rained downward
All the eyes were put out
Our lives are emptiness
Bleak photographs
Of years we never lived
Colorless as our effection
A man stood there
In the overcast sunrise
Emotionless
Overwhelmed
I held his hat for a time
In his greiving he submitted
There shall be no forgiveness
Among these flesh-statues
Bound to this lifelessness ...
On the remains of life
Lost in fragments
Floating particals of ash
It covers the earth entirely
Tirelessly unrelenting
Smoke rained downward
All the eyes were put out
Our lives are emptiness
Bleak photographs
Of years we never lived
Colorless as our effection
A man stood there
In the overcast sunrise
Emotionless
Overwhelmed
I held his hat for a time
In his greiving he submitted
There shall be no forgiveness
Among these flesh-statues
Bound to this lifelessness ...
