Corpse
Lend me a minute
Of your valuable time
To wallow and remember the wonders
That were once mine
Give me an hour
To taste of life and
Remember the bounty that now
Has all died out
Pour me a glass
Of your precious youth
To wash out the wearing
From these old dusty bones
Give me a hand up or
Prop me up beside the door
Let me look upon life
That's with me no more

Time
Come and stand
By the lighted brink of eternal rest
See your dreams and ambitions
Slowly tumble by your feet
Like sand flowing out of a broken hour glass
Down over the edge into the waiting darkness
Cold yet serene somehow
Look over and beyond
At the somehow familiar, new void
That frightens yet beckons to you
To your existence
Let reality set in
You don’t have long to live
All is slipping away
The days of glee have all been exhausted
All that remains is reality and pain

That frightens yet beckons to you
To your existence
Let reality set in
You don’t have long to live

No Hope
Let us go the edge of our sea
To cast away the fears
Upon the winds that help our dreams
Dance up into the evening sky
Let us go to the edge of our minds
To sweat and shake with fear for the hope
That sails off in a desperate search for our sunrise
Let us go to the shore
Where our tears crash upon the rocks
That crowd around and whisper to us a dream
Be wary of the rocks, jagged and steep
They line your soul and prevent you to see
The ships that lay sinking upon your sea.
To cast away the fears
Upon the winds that help our dreams
Dance up into the evening sky
Let us go to the edge of our minds
To sweat and shake with fear for the hope
That sails off in a desperate search for our sunrise
Let us go to the shore
Where our tears crash upon the rocks
That crowd around and whisper to us a dream
Be wary of the rocks, jagged and steep
They line your soul and prevent you to see
The ships that lay sinking upon your sea.

Alone Again
Alone again
In the empty, dark, glass house
Where I blind myself to the world around me
On display for everyone to see and mock
Like a unique freak in this town of genuises and saints
The die for failures has been recast
Satisfied or bored with the train wreck I call my life
They move on to the next freak show
The new curiosity
The new exhibition
To pitch their shekels and
Laugh and point their holy fingers to inflate their egos
No empathy for the distressed soul
Clinging to a faltering ideology
Leaving me here content in...

Ebony Sky
Rolling mountains filled with life
Dark majestic, ever changing dreamlike entities
We wait with baited breath
For your arrival
Monoliths from heaven's gate
Bring the gifts we cannot rebuff
Come and quench the thirst
Strengthen the flickering light within us all
It will build faith
Even in the coldest hearts

Confined
The silent walls stand and defend
Watching through time with no end
Vessels sail by at every hour
Guided by the watchtower lights
The sandman resides within
Amongst the refuse of human wills
It beckons everyone to slumber while
Time slowly creeps by with your youth in tow
Let the beasts fight for the scraps of dignity
It may not fill them but may subdue their rage.
Build your walls and stand the watch
Ready yourself to defend and survive
Deaden the emotions that may betray you
Darkness comes at the point of a word
Lessen...

Two Faced
An angelic face smiling
Glowing with Heaven’s light
A knife held out of sight
Eyes deep blue and beautiful
A body to die for
One wink and all reason is lost
The mask is worn.
A forked tongue fluttering in the night air
Sweet aroma of adoration fills my head and
Cupid sings the song of the new love blossoming
Beautiful music to the heart
Numbing the brain
The mask is changed.
At the alter the words come
Harsh and loud
Pushing the heart off balance
The brain races to catch up
But it is too late
The knife...
Glowing with Heaven’s light
A knife held out of sight
Eyes deep blue and beautiful
A body to die for
One wink and all reason is lost
The mask is worn.
A forked tongue fluttering in the night air
Sweet aroma of adoration fills my head and
Cupid sings the song of the new love blossoming
Beautiful music to the heart
Numbing the brain
The mask is changed.
At the alter the words come
Harsh and loud
Pushing the heart off balance
The brain races to catch up
But it is too late

The Ruins
My world is bleak
I have never fallen this far before
I suffer alone nowhere to turn
No light can penetrate this darkness
To guide me out into the real world
I have failed at the best thing in my life
I let it fall apart
Right through my hands it slipped away
I should have fought harder
I am now consumed with pain, anger and sorrow
My bottle my only comfort
Welcomes me without judgment
I take my elixir to kill the pain and
Cope with the broken world
I have to live in
It is a selfish decision
I know but I still...
I have never fallen this far before
I suffer alone nowhere to turn
No light can penetrate this darkness
To guide me out into the real world
I have failed at the best thing in my life

Right through my hands it slipped away

I am now consumed with pain, anger and sorrow
My bottle my only comfort
Welcomes me without judgment
I take my elixir to kill the pain and

I have to live in

My Ka
In my waking dream
I have seen it dance upon the rail and
Look up at the sky
As though it were speaking to someone
Waiting for a reply
I have seen it run through the fields
With an insatiable yearn to be free
I have watched it take flight
Over the water and past the trees
Only to reluctantly return
With regret and pain on its face
As it stuggles to remain
I have seen it sit and cry
Amongst the golden strands strewn about
In the sunrise of a new day
I have felt its sorrow
I the depths of my heart
I know ...
I have seen it dance upon the rail and
Look up at the sky
As though it were speaking to someone
Waiting for a reply
I have seen it run through the fields
With an insatiable yearn to be free
I have watched it take flight
Over the water and past the trees
Only to reluctantly return
With regret and pain on its face
As it stuggles to remain
I have seen it sit and cry
Amongst the golden strands strewn about
In the sunrise of a new day
I have felt its sorrow

Sorrow
It is abundant here
Everyone partakes
Some more than others
Like a river that runs
Through everyone's lives
It enlightens and humbles
Even the strongest of men
Drink in moderation this
By product of life
Do not be swept up
In it's power
It may take your life

Falling Again
At the edge of my abyss
I stand wearily shaking
Tired of fighting the good fight
Cursing every wrong decision I’ve made and
Every person I blame, save for myself
For bringing me to this predicament
Peering into the darkness of my addiction
I shiver at what fate has in store for me
My body feels cold to the touch
As though I am already dead
Slowly I feel myself slipping back
Into my fiendish alter ego
A metamorphosis I can longer contain
Disgusted with myself and my weakness
I close my eyes to morality and
Leap in ...

Dementia
You are the undead
Your essence ceases to be
A true zombie in every sense of the word
The dried husk of your former exuberance
No direction
No ambition to take part in life
The ramblings in your mind have taken over
The demons in your heart control the rest
On good days you make no sense
On bad days you rage against life and God for an unknown debt
Anger, violence, paranoia are your constant companions
They can reach you
We cannot
No love or sympathy to give to anyone
Not even yourself
All are suspect...
