As I...
As I drift away into the grey
I feel my eyes open again
To see many mistakes made
And many chances had
As I drift away into the haze
All that I once was comes into view
And drifts away from my gaze
Blissful disembodiment
As I drift away into the maze
Of my own soul desertion
I feel my body set ablaze
By the fires of my regret
As I drift away into the grey
I see all my losses begin to gain
The insignificance of blame
So trivial they all were.
I feel my eyes open again
To see many mistakes made
And many chances had
As I drift away into the haze
All that I once was comes into view
And drifts away from my gaze
Blissful disembodiment
As I drift away into the maze
Of my own soul desertion
I feel my body set ablaze
By the fires of my regret
As I drift away into the grey
I see all my losses begin to gain
The insignificance of blame
So trivial they all were.

Nothing More
The green leaves begin to change
To different shades of tan, orange, and yellow
As they slowly wither away
Only to be reborn again
Into their own fleeting existence
A storm approaches
With all its trapped rage
In an instant the surface cracks
And all the rage floods down
Into the maw of eternity
To forever be an echo in the abyss
A small creek drifting by
With its soft murmurs
Barely audible in its isolation
Nothing more but a road
To stagnation
To different shades of tan, orange, and yellow
As they slowly wither away
Only to be reborn again
Into their own fleeting existence
A storm approaches
With all its trapped rage
In an instant the surface cracks
And all the rage floods down
Into the maw of eternity
To forever be an echo in the abyss
A small creek drifting by
With its soft murmurs
Barely audible in its isolation
Nothing more but a road
To stagnation

Cycle
Alone and distraught
In an endless cycle I'm caught
Circling around all the same places
Begging to the same faces
Longing for that cold sleep
Feeling that sensation creep
Down my broken spine
Into that eroded mind of mine
As I'm washed away in the stream
Of all my broken dreams
Drowning inside this empty shell
I can't dispel this hell
In an endless cycle I'm caught
Circling around all the same places
Begging to the same faces
Longing for that cold sleep
Feeling that sensation creep
Down my broken spine
Into that eroded mind of mine
As I'm washed away in the stream
Of all my broken dreams
Drowning inside this empty shell
I can't dispel this hell

A cry for help
Stressed out and annoyed
Looking for things to fill the void
And I try to sew up the wound
But its gaping maw
Still consumes me
Tired and a liar
I build my own funeral pyre
I burn myself with my own tears
It’s no wonder no one hears me
Looking for things to fill the void
And I try to sew up the wound
But its gaping maw
Still consumes me
Tired and a liar
I build my own funeral pyre
I burn myself with my own tears
It’s no wonder no one hears me

Swinging Tree
Silence rings out throughout the crowded square
A breeze ripples through pressed bodies at the fair
The men and women look up to the platform
The calm before the tempest storm
And in an instant the silence is hushed
As the platform is opened and a life is crushed
There are some shouts of glory and glee
It’s another victory it seems
A fire is extinguished
And a flame is brought to life
As the martyr swings beneath the gallows
A breeze ripples through pressed bodies at the fair
The men and women look up to the platform
The calm before the tempest storm
And in an instant the silence is hushed
As the platform is opened and a life is crushed
There are some shouts of glory and glee
It’s another victory it seems
A fire is extinguished
And a flame is brought to life
As the martyr swings beneath the gallows

Searching For You
My thoughts wander desolate places
Where my heart no longer beats
Looking for the faintest traces
Of a life a forever ago
Your image taps on the walls of my heart
Sending shivers cascading down my spine
And I weep an ocean hoping to drown
My thoughts of You
You were the only memory worth keeping
And yet I threw it away
Only to find myself searching
For it all again
Where my heart no longer beats
Looking for the faintest traces
Of a life a forever ago
Your image taps on the walls of my heart
Sending shivers cascading down my spine
And I weep an ocean hoping to drown
My thoughts of You
You were the only memory worth keeping
And yet I threw it away
Only to find myself searching
For it all again

Unfinished
I heard the distant call
Somewhere over the hills
It beckoned to me
But I could not come
I looked down to see
The chains wrapped around me
And if I pulled on them
I would unravel
I heard the distant call
An echo of past dreams
As I lay there on my death bed
Surrounded by grim reality.
Somewhere over the hills
It beckoned to me
But I could not come
I looked down to see
The chains wrapped around me
And if I pulled on them

An echo of past dreams

Surrounded by grim reality.

Not Enough
How do I know that the way you feel
Is the same as Me?
You always give me sideways glances
Thinking that I can’t see
But I notice, yes I do
And I look back at you
Only to see a turned back
It’s 3 AM and I lay here in bed
With you only in my head
And I wonder if I wander your dreams
The same way that you do mine
Cause in my head I get lost
Trying to find a place for you
Whenever I come across you, I try not to stare
To look at the way you shift your face and fix your hair
Attempting to seem like you don’t care ...
Is the same as Me?
You always give me sideways glances
Thinking that I can’t see
But I notice, yes I do
And I look back at you
Only to see a turned back
It’s 3 AM and I lay here in bed
With you only in my head
And I wonder if I wander your dreams
The same way that you do mine
Cause in my head I get lost
Trying to find a place for you
Whenever I come across you, I try not to stare
To look at the way you shift your face and fix your hair
Attempting to seem like you don’t care ...

Please Use Febreze
A body hangs by a branch
In the summer breeze it swings
A statement to God
About why to use Febreze
In the summer breeze it swings
A statement to God
About why to use Febreze

Callisto
Spires of frozen ice rise
Spears to pierce the sky
Stalwart stance to hold the line
Statement to testament sublime
Standing in frozen stagnation
Smoldering in arctic creation
Shifting existing explanation
Superficial Callisto
Spears to pierce the sky
Stalwart stance to hold the line
Statement to testament sublime
Standing in frozen stagnation
Smoldering in arctic creation
Shifting existing explanation

Kass
She has stars on her face
And fire in her hair
With an ocean in her eyes
And skin so fair
Her voice chimes
In the midnight air
Soft syllables to the sky
The heavens can not compare
She moves with grace
Her elegance unmatched
A gentle embrace
Pulling away your mask
And fire in her hair
With an ocean in her eyes
And skin so fair
Her voice chimes
In the midnight air
Soft syllables to the sky
The heavens can not compare
She moves with grace
Her elegance unmatched
A gentle embrace
Pulling away your mask

Escape
I opened my eyes to start another day
And I sat up in bed with thoughts in my head
I knew not what I would say but I would not delay
With a heart of cold stone I fled
And from me bled the will to fly
To touch the distant horizon
It was a feeling that could not be denied
From my inner depths it materialized in
And I gave in to the flooding gate
To be carried away in my sweet escape
And I sat up in bed with thoughts in my head
I knew not what I would say but I would not delay
With a heart of cold stone I fled
And from me bled the will to fly
To touch the distant horizon
It was a feeling that could not be denied
From my inner depths it materialized in
And I gave in to the flooding gate
To be carried away in my sweet escape
