Dear Me
Many hate ourselves and we may never know why
Dear me,
I’m running out of songs to write
They’re about the same pain every
Time to face the facts, to face the truth
I’m still hurt; I’m still mad; I’m still scared of you.
You thought the universe would cheat you
And by that you cheated me
And you laid in bed shaking,
sick; afraid to fall asleep
But you never truly woke up
Despite a working body
And the world has nothing to do with your current suffering
Perhaps this whole time you’ve been asleep. ...

And by that you cheated me
And you laid in bed shaking,
sick; afraid to fall asleep
But you never truly woke up
Despite a working body
And the world has nothing to do with your current suffering
Perhaps this whole time you’ve been asleep. ...

Radio Storm
In the line of sight
of a perfect concussion
I’m sitting inside
this vicious circle
A fragile web
will rise majestic
Tales of ruin
wrap around the sun
Don’t leave me alone
until the storm is over
Don’t leave me alone
I’ll shed one tear
for my sisters throne
and name the sun
for our daughters
The scorpions dance
without a sound
Into a radio storm
of a perfect concussion
I’m sitting inside
this vicious circle
A fragile web
will rise majestic
Tales of ruin
wrap around the sun
Don’t leave me alone
until the storm is over
Don’t leave me alone
I’ll shed one tear
for my sisters throne
and name the sun
for our daughters
The scorpions dance
without a sound
Into a radio storm

Ebbing an empty replay
Cadavers
Lay witinn
Quicksands
Mind preforms
Shrined silence
28 days
They have given you
28 days
While I got life
After you vanished
I was breaking waves
making amends
With LIfe
If I tell you
will you
Judge me?
See me as less of a woman?
As weaker?
Being sore?
Not able to
"fix" , because
Oh
It was "just"
That one thing
And you are a woman
As you know
You should be
aqainted with guilt?
And a trigger is just a trigger ...

What to do?
What does one do when taking on much verbal abuse?
Got no money or place to retreat to.
Wishful thinking.
Isn't promising.
Shits fucked up. What else is new?
Every goddamn morning i enter the house from a hard night at work.
Not 5 goddamn minutes later the bitchin starts.
God my fucking head begins to hurt.
Why does the one i love with my last fucking breath inflict this shit storm upon me?
As the migraine starts, hear my desperate plea "God please, kill me. End this fucking agony. Deliver me from this damned hellish life that i hate all so very...

If Ever The Chance
Would you have held me close?
As we rocked forward and back?
Would you have stolen a punch,
For their hands around my neck?
Would you have steeled my soul,
As I doubted my self-worth?
Would you have chased them down?
To the ends of the earth?
Would we have burned down their homes,
For the atrocities they did to me?
Would you blame their mothers?
For treating me so horribly?
Would we ruin their families,
With talk of how they held me down?
Would you have led the party,
Until these...
As we rocked forward and back?

Weeping for the World
In silent solitude, I weep;
In suffering for this wondrous world.
Depriving me of precious sleep:
My greatest fears have come unfurled.
I weep for starving children,
As we overpopulate the Earth.
For people born in poverty,
Emaciated at their birth.
I weep for homelessness,
For people dying on the street;
As people pass them by
And watch them suffer at their feet.
I weep for mental illness,
For broken families; broken homes.
I weep for the abuse;
And for those who feel like...
In suffering for this wondrous world.
Depriving me of precious sleep:
My greatest fears have come unfurled.
I weep for starving children,
As we overpopulate the Earth.
For people born in poverty,
Emaciated at their birth.
I weep for homelessness,
For people dying on the street;
As people pass them by
And watch them suffer at their feet.
I weep for mental illness,
For broken families; broken homes.
I weep for the abuse;
And for those who feel like...

Bye Bye Baby
There is a man
Who sits with his head
In his hands and rocks
Like a baby
But doesn't sleep
Because he
Keeps thinking
Things
In blood spatter
Repeating patterns
Questioning
Thinking things
Remembering
While he rocks
Deciphering and
Deciding
Questions need
Answering
Thinking and
Rocking
Getting no where
Sitting there
With his hands
And head
Heavy
Just like his
Heart and spirit
Weighed by the years
Spent traveling here ...
Who sits with his head
In his hands and rocks
Like a baby
But doesn't sleep
Because he
Keeps thinking
Things
In blood spatter
Repeating patterns
Questioning
Thinking things
Remembering
While he rocks
Deciphering and
Deciding
Questions need
Answering
Thinking and
Rocking
Getting no where
Sitting there
With his hands
And head
Heavy
Just like his
Heart and spirit
Weighed by the years

My Song
Stepped into the area under false pretenses
I didnt know it then, but I would need defenses
My cousin had me out, searching for her drunk ass
I didnt know it then, but this would become "my past"
My phone had just died when you grabbed hold
The room was dark, but you weren't very old
There's two people here, three including me
I reached out to steady myself, but I could barely see
Someone grabbed my throat, into the wall I went
Just a second passed and then I was on the bed ...
I didnt know it then, but I would need defenses
My cousin had me out, searching for her drunk ass
I didnt know it then, but this would become "my past"
My phone had just died when you grabbed hold
The room was dark, but you weren't very old
There's two people here, three including me
I reached out to steady myself, but I could barely see
Someone grabbed my throat, into the wall I went
Just a second passed and then I was on the bed ...

Cardinal Sin
Preached fire and brimstone
Promised unconditional love
Then abused that precious trust
By taking innocence in the name of god
Promised unconditional love
Then abused that precious trust
By taking innocence in the name of god

Abused and Used
Lonely souls roaming the city,
frightened eyes filled with pity.
Crazy, lost and all alone
with no place to call home.
In a society so obscene
behaving like a machine..
with such a pointless goal,
it's all about control.
But who has the power?
no one knows..
So on and on
The machine cycle goes.
I must confess
that I'm a little bit confused..
When I see all this despair,
all the souls who feel abused..
Gotta stay aware,
gotta try to stay strong
through the lingering pain. ...
