Pavements
lonely doesn't express this hollow feeling
lonely can't define why death is appealing
lost my bearing, now i'm stuck again
I've been lost since i don't know when
seems that I took the wrong path
but everyone knows you can't change the past
thought I followed the right directions
but this road is long with no intersections
so now i'm trying to find my way
probably be wonderin til judgement day

A Fish Without Water
This house doesn't need ghosts to scare anyone
The walls take sanity for fun
They'll hex you with whispers in tongue
Arrive with confidence, you'll leave with none
The longer you stay, the further undone
The air stifles, it thickens and numbs
It weighs down on you like tons
Constricting every cell, it stuns
Skeletons in these closets tote guns
Heat comes at you like fire from dragons
I mean heat like the fury of a thousand suns
Your mind weakens and maddens
This house kills souls like it's a soul assassin
A suffering only the...

A Hunter in the Darkness
My brains a victim of my heart’s beating
It’s the only way that I can reason
Being blinded by all this red I’m seeing
It must be time for soul hunting season
My survival instincts go crazy
My pulse quickens its erratic pace
Howling winds blow ever strangely
But the blood falling from my face
Makes my thoughts kind of hazy
I'll never see the end of this chase
As many demons now plague me
It’s the only way that I can reason
Being blinded by all this red I’m seeing
It must be time for soul hunting season
My survival instincts go crazy
My pulse quickens its erratic pace
Howling winds blow ever strangely
But the blood falling from my face
Makes my thoughts kind of hazy
I'll never see the end of this chase
As many demons now plague me

A Machine
I think that I’ve gone crazy, I’m mindless.
I’ve lost sight of myself, I’m spineless.
My thoughts know no control, I cannot empathize.
This soul has long been sold and my heart desensitized.
Blood flows through me cold, each pulse mechanized.
Malice a thousandfold and every second emphasized.

For a Fool
I underestimated the search
and came out a fool
I looked for answers everywhere
and everywhere found ghouls
I journeyed through the lowest valleys
and with shadows as my fuel
I searched for this thing you call love
and all I found was cruel
and came out a fool

Doors
God, I don't think im ready
my confidence is drowning like a Louisiana levee
I don't feel prepared
and all that comes won't be shared
I don't posses what I feel is mine
I feel like i've forgotten how to rhyme
I'm hungry like im poor
and I keep meeting up with closed doors
But when I go where I go, sometimes I get lost
I get led on and I get forgot
So I approach life anxiously
because I know more pain waits for me
my confidence is drowning like a Louisiana levee
I don't feel prepared
and all that comes won't be shared
I don't posses what I feel is mine
I feel like i've forgotten how to rhyme
I'm hungry like im poor
and I keep meeting up with closed doors
But when I go where I go, sometimes I get lost
I get led on and I get forgot
So I approach life anxiously
because I know more pain waits for me

A Mountain
My soul's made of stone
From triumph to tragedy
A mountain has grown
This stature my own
Forever building higher
Til peaks fashion thrones
The angels have flown
To wherever, without doubt
Mountains stand alone
From triumph to tragedy
A mountain has grown
This stature my own
Forever building higher
Til peaks fashion thrones
The angels have flown
To wherever, without doubt
Mountains stand alone

Supercooled Heart
Never once has he stayed
Too many times delayed
Here then gone
Games prolonged
Every time misleading
My heart deceiving
They come to me like an apocalypse
Every moment the catalyst
Reveling and toying
In my security destroying
Every time the same
His words cannot explain
Loneliness grows stronger
Time seems longer
And I cannot adjust
There's no man I can trust
Too many times delayed
Here then gone
Games prolonged
Every time misleading
My heart deceiving
They come to me like an apocalypse
Every moment the catalyst
Reveling and toying
In my security destroying
Every time the same
His words cannot explain
Loneliness grows stronger
Time seems longer
And I cannot adjust
There's no man I can trust

A Liar
I hear lies in the words you say
Your mouth molds truth like clay
I feel distance in the love you display
You must have slept with Emily today
You took it further than I thought you could
And then lied, like I knew you would
Don't try to act like I misunderstood
You cut thru me like an axe thru wood
Now that I know the truth, I must relay
My hatred I cannot convey
Your deceit will find you one day
I hope on your soul it does weigh
Your mouth molds truth like clay
I feel distance in the love you display
You must have slept with Emily today
You took it further than I thought you could
And then lied, like I knew you would
Don't try to act like I misunderstood
You cut thru me like an axe thru wood
Now that I know the truth, I must relay
My hatred I cannot convey
Your deceit will find you one day
I hope on your soul it does weigh

All I Know
I know God knows me
One way or another he shows me
Aspects of grace and the means
To happiness, to live my dreams
I know God guides me
Sharing without scripture beside me
Parts of life and of its end
Parts of truth and of pretend
I know God as God knows me
I don't need words or walls to set me free
One way or another he shows me
Aspects of grace and the means
To happiness, to live my dreams
I know God guides me
Sharing without scripture beside me
Parts of life and of its end
Parts of truth and of pretend
I know God as God knows me
I don't need words or walls to set me free

Dirt on the Ground
I hope to get sick
And die soon someday
My death couldn't come soon enough
I'm tired of the delay
In the agony of meantime, I am submersed
I know my soul has long been cursed
Believe what you will, it carries no worth
I’ll speak my discord regardless, and in verse...
There are no words to accurately describe
My nightmare coming alive
No soul bearing being could possibly contrive
It is a punishment that I survive
Broken is my fate
Even my shadow leaves ruin in its wake
All I touch I violate
Into pieces my core...
And die soon someday

Lucid Dreams
There is no moment that is mine.
God willing, all I have is time.
There are no moves for me to make.
I think I am dreaming when I am awake.
Everything I am means nothing.
Lies are more becoming.
