Living in Constant Fear of Developing a Phobia.
Appraise these foundations you held together
with chewing gum and a little hope.
Free will is not to be taken lightly.
Strongly bound in what looks like glass,
yet it sheds a light not seen before.
It takes pain to learn the difference
between what’s what and weakness.
I know that you suffer from the end.
I have read it in the lines of your face.
Exit me, unnatural states of unnatural things.
A human shadow overcasting a brave new world
can only make you wish for a fitting end.
Crawl away and share the blame,
Misery keeps playing that same...
with chewing gum and a little hope.
Free will is not to be taken lightly.
Strongly bound in what looks like glass,
yet it sheds a light not seen before.
It takes pain to learn the difference
between what’s what and weakness.
I know that you suffer from the end.
I have read it in the lines of your face.
Exit me, unnatural states of unnatural things.
A human shadow overcasting a brave new world
can only make you wish for a fitting end.
Crawl away and share the blame,
Misery keeps playing that same...

The Beginning of the End; Mr.Swift's Sudden Realization
Rose pedals and decadent vines
have all sprung to life in this misery-fueled journey.
Skeletons will rise from the fall,
and warriors shall cut their losses.
A demon's grin is drenched in sin,
their skin is red from their victim's
blood that they bathe in.
Hold me down,
or I swear I'll drown,
and murder is looking better than ever.
If dead men's tales can change the world,
then by God, be sure their
families never receive their letters.

Yuppie
Piles and piles of decaying people,
Pull the roots, drain the nutrients from the source.
Greater men have fallen to less than this.
I've sat through too many memorials,
And I have never been closer
to the one thing I can't believe in.
Senseless people screaming "Let Him in"
Underneath a thousand pounds of pressure,
a hand protrudes from the earth.
As I sat up from where I fell,
I realize I can't feel my once-strong legs.
Inside my stomach is a hungry ash pit,
Which needs mending to make a
fire I held for so goddamn long.
...

Poisoned I.V.
I ran a thousand miles, and I outran my demons.
I've been burning bridges,
hoping to prevent the world from crossing me.
Insecurities have risen and they're taking a shape
Clouded black, it keeps no name.
Closest friends to you, are strangers to them.
But still they choose to take their lives.
The last thing you'll ever respect
is a drowned out sequence of blotted affairs.
Comfort is a prison if you wear it wrong.
Trusting the ocean is risky business.
Abandon hope, all who stop to enjoy the scenery.
I've been burning bridges,
hoping to prevent the world from crossing me.
Insecurities have risen and they're taking a shape
Clouded black, it keeps no name.
Closest friends to you, are strangers to them.
But still they choose to take their lives.
The last thing you'll ever respect
is a drowned out sequence of blotted affairs.
Comfort is a prison if you wear it wrong.
Trusting the ocean is risky business.
Abandon hope, all who stop to enjoy the scenery.
