Beware!!
Isolated house far from reach
Prophecy, torture and death unleashed
Life behind these walls
Demented voices call
Blood is all you crave
Mentally deranged & insane
Bodies hang from meat-hooks
Human flesh peeled and cooked
House by the cemetery
Basement is a mortuary
Walk among the tombstones
Rotting flesh, decaying bones
Some buried alive
No one hears their cries
Maggots pour in eating your flesh
A slow agonizing death
Insane family pray for their souls
Funeral’s over, the casket’s closed
Another...

Freedom
The problem with staying alone
For a lifetime of freedom
Is that as the end draws near
You can feel free
To call nobody
Not one person on earth will grieve you
Or raise a glass to your passing
There will be nobody to put pennies on your eyes
To pay for the trip across Styx
But you'll have your freedom
For a lifetime of freedom
Is that as the end draws near
You can feel free
To call nobody
Not one person on earth will grieve you
Or raise a glass to your passing
There will be nobody to put pennies on your eyes
To pay for the trip across Styx
But you'll have your freedom

Can't You See Me?
Can't you see me?
Can't you see me in the dark?
Can't you see my world is drifting apart?
Can't you see time just splitting me apart?
Can't you see me?
Did you see me?
Did you wish you saw me?
Did you wish you'd spoken to me?
Or did you wish we'd never met,
So you wouldn't know I'm fading?
Can you hear me?
Can hear me when I speak?
Do you hear me yet not listen?
Am I just noise on the auditory canvas?
My words just forgotten compositions.
Would you offer me your time,
If you knew most of mine had...
Can't you see me in the dark?
Can't you see my world is drifting apart?
Can't you see time just splitting me apart?

Did you wish you'd spoken to me?
Or did you wish we'd never met,
So you wouldn't know I'm fading?

Do you hear me yet not listen?
Am I just noise on the auditory canvas?
My words just forgotten compositions.
Would you offer me your time,
If you knew most of mine had...

Mad Demons
I’ve seen bodies splayed out in the street,
Serving as a warning for any of those who took opposition,
I’ve heard the artillery fire at will,
And oh so close,
Like mad demons let loose from hell.
I was a child so I didn’t really understand,
Why the situation only got worse, especially for the poor,
They were slaying guilty and innocent altogether,
In order to save democracy.
I only knew that once you heard the first shots go off,
An instant curfew was immediately in effect,
It didn’t matter if you were a man, woman...

Autumn Crocus
When the heart is empty, the mind might focus
To find, a fiery fate, with the Autumn Crocus
Although the thought is toxic, like an acid kiss
Nothing else will matter, if not being, is bliss
A clock stops ticking, when there's a broken cog
And reality's a phantom, when it's milling fog
For if the eyes cannot see, a course, to guide
There's no way ahead, that's not death defied
If there's no aroma, when the flowers bloom
The only time that is left, is a time, too soon
For to feed on a harvest, that's poison laced
Is bitter,...

The Fear of Tomorrow
Yesterday his Epitaph read...
Unknown to some for he has died
Beware to others for he's still alive
His revenge will come, when you least suspect
Ponder your thoughts now, time to reflect
You smothered and silenced him throughout life
Victimized his family, causing pain and strife
He leaves you now with one more warning
Confession will heal in time of mourning
Unknown to some for he has died
Beware to others for he's still alive
His revenge will come, when you least suspect
Ponder your thoughts now, time to reflect
You smothered and silenced him throughout life
Victimized his family, causing pain and strife
He leaves you now with one more warning
Confession will heal in time of mourning

Best Friend
My brother and best friend. When you were taken from us that Sunday morning I had to become strong and steadfast in so little time while learning to grieve and to know that its ok to still enjoy life and everyday things. It doesnt feel right it feels strange. I want to scream I miss you I want to talk to with you I want you to see all of the progress. I know you're always near but it will never be the same, Until we meet again on the other side. Your little twinish sister

love is being cremated with a joint
Out of sight
out of mind
but you're not gone
you're not gone
I missed your birthday again
bypassed your anniversary
and pretended like it didn't bother me
that I forgot
that I keep forgetting
The years pass
and I think about you less and less
but you're always with me
in every curl of weed smoke
I inhale into my lungs
on the days I need to get
a little bit bent
You're in the failure of my micro garden
that will never look like vegie patch
you laboured over with so much...

Hand Of Sorrow
Verse 1]
Regression to submission
Reversion to illusion
I am lost in this confusion
No stranger to exclusion
Suffer agony infusion
The end of me in view
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Misery weaved into me
Curse of mind for all to see
[Chorus 1]
Hand of sorrow, reach in me
Grasp my heart, set me free
Pull it out with no remorse
Broken by unnatural force
Shatter what's whole
Rip out the soul
[Verse 2]
Aggression to confession
Drown in my obsession
Cannot kill my burden
Inner wounds not...
