Einstein's Plea
shake it..with the hands of time
Deal with the devil, everything’s on the line
if we play by the rules, we don’t stand a chance
better divided and tall than together we’d fall
we’re doing the same thing in a loop, insanity
it’s time to try something new, pretty fucking please
pretty fucking please
plan A, the most sensical
plan B, abort your morals
plan C, we’re winging this
plan D, just another miss
just another miss
plan A, the most sensical
plan B, abort your morals
plan C, we’re winging this
plan D, just...

The Lawyer Method
have you ever answered a question with a question to eventually reach a question that has your mind wrapped around an infinite amount of answers? Have you ever done this to gain understanding, to express yourself, and/or be able to be left with unanswered questions? Do you ever dwell in the endless possibilities posed by hypothetical situations? do you ever think about how we need a variety in life? do you ever think about how the unanswered, debatable questions fill up our empty minds, how it stimulates our brains and satisfies it by not keeping it stagnate? every think about how we answer...

Blank page no longer
A blank page, now filled with rage
blackened to the core
with tattoos that won’t leave
scars you can never fully erase
the cracks that you drew
too narrow to go through
can’t read between the lines
in all this madness, and all this darkness
i can’t even see what’s in front of me
you drew up this world
personality in the pen
the ink is so misleading
colour’s ever changing
interpretations, defining meaning
but is there even any
and is there even a point
You say there are many points
and to connect the dots
but...

Schizophrenic Puppet
Every time i try to touch the subject
light beats and circles around... my sound
intangible vultures everywhere
the cycles are broken
they are so broken
but deja vu keeps haunting me
im a schizophrenic puppet
im a little off, just a little off
but in a different way
you’re a little off, just a little off
but in a different way
The clocks are silent now
no hands to give the time of day
The switch stays on
to keep me grounded, so i’ll be okay
but gravity isn’t what’s got me down
I’m space bound with...

Paper Hearts (spoken word)
(Just recently started listening to spoken word, so this is my first spoken word styled poem)
I wanted to play a game, a love game
You said we should build a house of cards
home is where the heart is, so lets build one together
It was beautiful, it was magnificent
a foundation of naivety, innocence, and ignorance
but by the end of it...it became 52 card pickup
It was so fragile, and not worthwhile
everything had to be just perfect
every angle, every boundary, everything about it
or everything would just fall apart
leaving us to pick up...

Pentafaded, PentaGONE
Pentafaded
pentaGONE
pent up in my mind….for way too long
pleasures of the world
learning along the way
I’m a hedonist
with more than meets the eye
with something to say
-clubbing/poppy music?-
we’re seeing all the secrets
I’m feeling all the regrets
different shades of wisdom
the auras aren't shadows... anymore
knowledge is so fucking colorful
rainbows in my mind
dancing devils on my brain
heart beats speeding up
heart beats slowing down
we move to the beat, of nature’s sound
we’re jagged puzzle...

Make me a Bluejay
I gotta find a voice
to fill my quiet mind
this silence ain’t golden
i feel so colorblind
I need a drink, and more time
I need to kill my demons
I need my angels back
Can they ever forgive me?
(chorus x2)
Intense emotions overload
Desensitized, hearts implode
Worlds spinning the other way
Chasing after the getaway
Talk to me…give me a sign
I’m out of my mind and it won’t let me in
Where is my home, my heart is so lost
I’m floating around, I can’t hear a sound
I’ll give up my legs, why be an ariel...

Save Yourself
You never listen, to lyrics of life
You just bump to propaganda’s beat
You just never think for yourself
Drowned out by everyone else
Do you not ever get tired
Do you not ever crave change
Do you not ever feel courage
To break free from this ugly mold
(chorus x2)
Save yourself, from identity lost
save yourself, from future regrets
Save yourself, from their lies
save yourself...the troubles
Ever think, you’re becoming one of them
Ever think, you’re nothing special anymore
Ever think, you’ve lost your voice
In a...

Difference and Change
My mentality has shifted
just like the person that you are
we’re both different now
we’ve gone our separate ways
It’s the same night sky, above you and me
you see the stars and appreciate
i see an illusion, a facade before my eyes
the night sky is there but not the light
(chorus x2)
We collide, all the time
Who is right and who is wrong
We collide, all the time
who is the top debater tonight
Stubborn fools, Stubborn love
We’ll never admit our faults
We’ll never take the high road
Stubborn fools, stubborn love

Rhythm of Chaos
You had some thoughts and fired away
but the blanks were too close for comfort
they crossed the lines despite their intentions
i’m sweating these bullets out
The words were more loaded than you thought
Followed by a jk, but you hit a sensitive spot
I keep them in my memories, so i don’t bleed out
I hold them in with all my might, I’m starting to see the light
(chorus x2)
Horizons are clashing, colliding tonight
The ground is shaking and splitting apart
The walls are breathing in the chemicals
My heart beats to the rhythm of chaos
...

Royal Flushes
My mind is racing…catching up to my heart
I’m getting a little too ahead... of myself
The cards are on the table…but the hearts are torn
A royal flush…your hands are the best around
This is crazy and the cycles are overkill
Our passions inhibiting our growth
The tides are at its peak, it’s the same every week
I want so much more, you deserve so much more
(chorus x2)
Sunsets paint our past
Should of known it wouldn’t last
Little details make me smile
I could only afford the trial
Could only afford the trial
I’ve never met...

Entropic Paranoia
Chill bumps arise and overstay
arm hairs standing tall like a cornered stray
my mind is wandering with no direction
my entropic thoughts are catching up with me now
Staredowns from the omniscient eye
a souless, relentless black abysess
pupils... of the generations of the wronged
paranoia's settling in strong
it's growing, it's sprouting, infecting my mind
It's trolling, all-knowing, fucking with my time
it's a staredown, better not blink
or before you'll know it, you're gonna sink
you're in too deep, go ahead and weep
cause...
