Tears Fall Like Ashes
gaze on the aggressor, as his face stairs back
i can't escape this
i can't run and hide, the dies been cast
signed on the dotted line
the deed too my life's in his hand
strategic deal with the devil a gamble i intend too win
i can't fold this hand the consequences are far too great
if you only knew who was speaking this would be easier too understand
its the demon on my shoulder sweetly whispering those dear sweet nothings
with that bitter taste i crave down too my soul
the temptation is so much more then i can resist
its agony in true...

Until there's nothing left to hold a name
Lying still inside this crypt of lies
Contained within these four walls
Feeling so far away
Like flesh connected to bone
It will all soon just rot away
Leave me now to wonder
Into the cold
Out into the open
Across this barren landscape
Across this burning bridge
Forever more
Condemned to solitude
I’ve lost my will to speak
Silenced by the pain
This tragic day will echo in my dreams
Eyes down
Tears will trace my footsteps
Against the grain
it seems there is no other way
And nothing else to do
But...

Grey World
Still frames of motion are pulsing and trying
Peering there way through
a stabbing assault
Pain so perfuse that you don’t know how you will move on in this gray world
Lessons learned in life
Force us to burn down bridges
Hold on for dear life
Before it all falls out of our hands and shatters our lives
seals our veins shut
Daunting these attempts to encase these ashes
Horrid contortions caressing with knives
Pent up aggression so tragic its holding you so tightly now
Take this all away
Torture
Treachery

Scratched into the casing
Awakening
its frightening
grips my throat pulls me in
Something is creeping in the sheets
I feel its presence looming
As stagnate blood drips
The Feeling I should fly
into the concrete beneath this ledge
You’ve brought me to
These daggers in my side shocking me awake
feeling that I should fly into the concrete
Soul constricting
constant nightmares
We keep repeating
Unable to see
Pealing the surface off my eyes
walking through the devastation
In the wake of our constant turmoil and Bliss
its all so close...

burn the darkness from the center of my eyes
Digging graves
Somehow feels like ecstasy
Throwing stones at paper hearts
Setting fire to the scraps
Stairing down a tapered hallway
Every step leading me closer to the breaking point
But still I stumble
Still I crave
Too feel the sting of severed wings
The numbing of the cancer
To carve out the shattered memories plauging my mind
My pulse is slowing
My bloods turned toxic
My frozen heart barely keeping me alive
The sustainer of life has turned into a methodicAl killer
Laying outstretched on this bed of rusted nails

New way of seeing " written for the it still hurts comp "
i feel like my eyes have shattered into pieces
every happy memory of us feels like im being stabbed to death
i cant get your voice out of my head
you laugh echos inside my brain
the walls of our room feel like they are so much closer to me
my pupils have grown wide
like the darkness has become my new home
my new way of seeing
that picture of us lying on my chest stairing at that moment that monent frozen in time
that i would give anything to relive
but that moment is gone only held inside a still frame beneth a plate glass
mocking me with...

Flawed is our design
Tear it from the sky
falling cinder
All that screams inside of me
Boils in my blood
Courses through every fiber of my being
Tonight the dead walk among us
Dead hearts just looking for a cure
The taste is copper and brackish
Abrasive to the touch
In remission
senses crippling
Collapsing out across this oil based tapestry
Canvas of the fading
of the hopeless
Flawed is our design
Cursive words written across out pail skin
Deep beneath the surface
Expressions of a long lost complexion
Always moving on a razors...

Death moves in silence
Dig out of solid ground unveil your face to the world
I hear death moves without a sound to take its victims
Purge the dead of blood let I pour
Hear the voices scream intoxicating how my blood churns
As waves of poisoned arrows drip down from the sky
Piece and puncture although still alive
Just pier out on my creation
Bair witness to my wake
At the fires burning in the distance
Hide your eyes bound and gagged down on your knees
Blood is flowing like a flood
Overtaken tip the balance...

Lucid
without the words to explain what has become my akeleas heal
severed and ravaling up my leg
taking aim at nothing
walking blind
to dead to notice what is just within my reach
blacking out from the devistation riddeling my sub conchouse
crippling
im so unawair
bracing for the sudden stop that is soon to follow the falling
this atroshouse day unending
trying to be what is only killing me slowly
unable to see what is right here in front of me
living for tomorow
left with nothing...

Body count
spilt blood fills the streets
as death squads.... plot there vengence
throw out your tear gass ...smoke us out...smoke us out of every corner
cut us down with bullets....fireing
seperate arms and legs... quadropaligics left thrashing on the ground
leaking.. from the wounds
close contact ...dont blink an eye... dont want to miss this
agony... in the name of order....terror to sustain the lies
dispair is all you can invision
antaginist ...leads us out into fireing range
the hate could snap your fucking...

wreaked
bleeding from the mouth
cant catch my breathe
its running away from me
dont have the strenght to chase it down
complection is graying
bliss is ignorace falling from a seventh story balcony
carried on a whisper
only spoken to prevoke
inside im missing pieces
division of reason churning with every panekt step
hear me out
make me feel like im not the most distaint person in the room
the light is bending around me like im not even there
a ghost just screaming out with sour notes...

Chariot
like a thief i would steal every ounce of your pain
and bare the weight of the burrdens you carry
willingly walk into fire
i hope you see love is blind
a never ending stairway
to a different level of transition
spun like pure silk
a tidel wave set into motion
by a single pebble dropped into the ocean
a chariot engulfed
tearing through the stars
drawn by ghost white horses
set ablaze
led by there wanting
for a deeper meaning
burning nova's rupture outside there...
