Wall of Sleep
I close my eyes
Let the darkness take me in
As I fade away
I hear your voice call out to me
I see you there
A shining light that draws me near
When you went away
My heart was broken for all time
nothing left to say
A million tears still left to cry
When darkness falls
I feel a stirring in my heart
Let the darkness bind us now
On loves eternal shore
Let me hold you close
Just one minute more
Our love can last forever
Behind the wall of sleep
I live my life in dreams
Never will I...
Let the darkness take me in
As I fade away
I hear your voice call out to me
I see you there
A shining light that draws me near
When you went away
My heart was broken for all time
nothing left to say
A million tears still left to cry
When darkness falls
I feel a stirring in my heart
Let the darkness bind us now
On loves eternal shore
Let me hold you close
Just one minute more
Our love can last forever
Behind the wall of sleep
I live my life in dreams
Never will I...

Fade Away
Sometimes I wish I could fall a million feet down
Smash to pieces into the rocky ground
No more worries no more fears
No more obligations No more tears
Nothing but darkness all around
No more voices No more sound
I wish that I could be a bird that flies away
Nothing left to tell you, no more to say
I wish that I could find a place so far away
Nothing left of me to be
I would cherish darkness
Emptiness
Just let me fly away tonight
Real love has never been a thing
Never found a reason to be me ...
Smash to pieces into the rocky ground
No more worries no more fears
No more obligations No more tears
Nothing but darkness all around
No more voices No more sound
I wish that I could be a bird that flies away
Nothing left to tell you, no more to say
I wish that I could find a place so far away
Nothing left of me to be
I would cherish darkness
Emptiness
Just let me fly away tonight
Real love has never been a thing
Never found a reason to be me ...

ALARM
Sweet and dreamy ringing of the xylophone
Fills the empty silence with its resounding tone.
Bouncing off the dark room walls,
Charms the night fall
As I sleepwalk by day and stand on paved bricks
Blinded by the folds of the midnight mix.
Never knowing where I’m going or where I’m headed
Oh, my! I know I’m starting to regret it!
But, the hypnotizing soft-tone strikes of the xylophone
Gently creating its soft melodic tone
Seductively entices me to sleepwalk some more
With my eyes wide shut but with feet on floor.
Clock...
Fills the empty silence with its resounding tone.
Bouncing off the dark room walls,
Charms the night fall
As I sleepwalk by day and stand on paved bricks
Blinded by the folds of the midnight mix.
Never knowing where I’m going or where I’m headed
Oh, my! I know I’m starting to regret it!
But, the hypnotizing soft-tone strikes of the xylophone
Gently creating its soft melodic tone
Seductively entices me to sleepwalk some more
With my eyes wide shut but with feet on floor.
Clock...

Seek
In the house of the black rose I found my self
Servant to an unknowvn god
Bleary eyed dark mind full of smoke
Searching for my center
What brought me here said I
Visions of black clouds fading
As if waking from a dream
Memories melt quickly into the mist
As I return now to the real world, slowly
I try to capture the memories
But they are forever gone
Burned away by the bright sunlight
I had thought this dark world melted away
And yet it persists and overtakes me
Broken and forlorn, full of darkness ...
Servant to an unknowvn god
Bleary eyed dark mind full of smoke
Searching for my center
What brought me here said I
Visions of black clouds fading
As if waking from a dream
Memories melt quickly into the mist
As I return now to the real world, slowly
I try to capture the memories
But they are forever gone
Burned away by the bright sunlight
I had thought this dark world melted away
And yet it persists and overtakes me
Broken and forlorn, full of darkness ...

Dreams
Sweet dreams I wish for in my dark times
But I never find my way
Darker visions seek me in my weakness
Tearing at me shredding me
I long for love and tenderness
And yet I only tread the darkest paths
Into the swirling depths I fall
All is dark and full of pain
Let my heart Fall away
May my life be redeemed
There is no order to this place
Visions pass before me unresolved
Waking mind is parsed and scattered
Sleeping mind finds order in the chaos
Are these things real
It seems so in...
But I never find my way
Darker visions seek me in my weakness
Tearing at me shredding me
I long for love and tenderness
And yet I only tread the darkest paths
Into the swirling depths I fall
All is dark and full of pain
Let my heart Fall away
May my life be redeemed
There is no order to this place
Visions pass before me unresolved

To Hide a Heart
sunshine shadows cast
reeds intertwined to darkness
a shelter is born
reeds intertwined to darkness
a shelter is born

Machines
The machines are coming
I hear them at night
In the walls
I see them sometimes
Out of the corner of my eye
Following me
They are here now
All around us
They whisper in binary
They see in infrared
You cant escape them
They run to fast
They know where you are
They read your thoughts
They look down from above
They see through the walls
I feel them in my brain
Electronic spiders
They are speaking to me now
A digital diatribe always in my...

Day by Day
Emotional memories
flood my existence
like a structurally
damaged dam
Forcing me to face
the man that I am
Or at least what’s become
of this shallow and broken
vessel version of a man
Whose reflected image
was nothing but so much of an
enclosed sham
Rebooting and resetting
as if I were an infected program
When did it all go wrong?
When did I go wrong?
Early mornings encircle
my miserable conundrum
like maddening hunger enraged
vultures on the prowl
...

Scizm
Aramaic darling kin speak to me of the Djinn so I may rest in Ghenna
I am veiled as a gypsy on caravan
my heart aches for your sorrow
I bring merl and spice in lavender and heather
my crown is wreathed with wild flowers so the wind would know me
watch your footing in the desert
I am no mirage I bring you the latter rain
so you will not thirst and so that your reign will be complete
Be at rest dear one, your words warming as the sun
I move behind the mysteries to rend the veil that you might shine
we are children of sorrow, but the herbs...
I am veiled as a gypsy on caravan

my crown is wreathed with wild flowers so the wind would know me

so you will not thirst and so that your reign will be complete

The Killing Fields
Beware this land
A most desolate place
True evil’s at hand
With a cold embrace
Death shadows its gate
Blood quenches its soil
Piked heads lie awake
The damned suffer turmoil
Crows feast on flesh
Picking off the sinew
The agony is fresh
All life must discontinue
Sacrifice and torture
Rape the damns remains
Forever trapped in horror
Fenced around with brains
Crucifixes stretch the dead
Intestines rot in excrement
Hatred spreads like inbred
Ravishing this unholy sediment
Blood whips the night ...
A most desolate place

Forever trapped in horror
Fenced around with brains

Intestines rot in excrement
Hatred spreads like inbred

The Gift
An unraveled rage thrusts itself into
into the mouth of a world on its
knees, spewing hatred down the throats
of the moral whilst panting in
disgust
The meat of the weak tastes sweet
fed from the talons of aggression,
choking on the fat of their laziness
as I swallow souls and shit damnation
A wrath cometh to thee
torn from the bowels of hell to
live a wretched human life, predation
is certain, a red eyed wolf seeking
that which to destroy
Born of malice and sin
risen from the ashes of refuse...

Sweet Tooth
He wanders through the black
Hauling along his back
A skin woven-ramshackle sac
Adorned with teeth and roots fully intact
Spattered in blood and unholy soil
Prowling under an ambiguous moon
For the stench of his spoil
Camouflaged amongst the crowd
Eyeballing candy that’s chowed
So many intestines waiting to be cowed
The eager are savored at the peak they're endowed
He grimaces a smirk at the thought of their flesh
The selfish are so much more delectable when fresh
His mouth illuminates the holes in his teeth
Jagged sharp...
Hauling along his back

Adorned with teeth and roots fully intact
