Infected
You always make me feel like I’m dead inside.
You try to stab me with your dirty needles
and cover my scars to watch them heal with time.
Add some poison to my blood and shake well.
Leave me with painful splinters stuck in my mind.
I can’t erase the haunting memories of hell
-Cause you’re an infection
to all those around you
you cause a corruption
to start spreading from you- (Chorus)
You often make me feel like I’m sick all over,
stuffing all of your hate, love, and fear inside of me.
It is a deadly illness like no...

Rainy World
The world used to feel
so beautiful.
I adapted to the rain
falling.
The tempo changed
often
with an emotional
drumming, clearing
the world, exposing
the scent of rusted oak
woods along my path.
In gilded water
drops in my hand,
The world feels so beautiful,
clutching the magic.
We get old
and the world
gets cold
and rain we use to know
is only a wet mess.
The rain I used to know
/ as magic /
is just a wet mess
of disillusionment, ...
so beautiful.
I adapted to the rain
falling.
The tempo changed
often
with an emotional
drumming, clearing
the world, exposing
the scent of rusted oak
woods along my path.
In gilded water
drops in my hand,
The world feels so beautiful,
clutching the magic.
We get old
and the world
gets cold
and rain we use to know
is only a wet mess.
The rain I used to know
/ as magic /
is just a wet mess

Enhancement Semantics
Enhancement semantics,
demanding a tangent,
have planted such candid dynamics entrancing.
Enchantment remanded,
lest chancing Atlantic,
is France and Atlantis in dancing enactment.
Some dragons with angles,
their camera cannons,
outlandishly channeling perilous planet.
From arrogant anguish,
commandments unpracticed,
while pharisee phantom has heresy handled.
The damnable sadness,
as cherub can ravage,
humanity's damage that's fallibly average.
Our fantasy famished, ...
demanding a tangent,
have planted such candid dynamics entrancing.

A Thief in the Night
A thief in the night.
Ingenius disguise.
What demon delight.
Completing assigns.
It's eating inside.
Deleting your mind.
Deceitfully hide.
Impeding can lie.
So really rely.
Repeating affright.
Releasing denied.
All cheating defines.
Competing for time.
Unyielding design.
Where seeds have but died.
No breathing confides.
Conceiving combines.
Our evening abides.
Increasing divide.
There we will entwine.
Then sealing and cry.
From...

Practice Bars 3
Quite pleasing, I have mastered rhyme rooks.
Skies bleeding science after y'all shook.
My feelings, I don't have them all, look.
Like reading, Isaac Asimov books.
Guised greetings might have masked divine crooks.
Dice leading pirates after spines stood.
Try scheming heights we passed in times took.
Price pleading, private passions might push.
Bright beaming binds the blatherskite foot.
Lines weaving lying lavish like hoof.
Wine, wheat, and rice Saturn giant sook.
Rye seedling blight have acid nights cooked.
Prized...

wonderland
in my head the life I've lived
seems magic and whimsy did a flip
a hand pressed flat against a mirror
and now I'm trapped in underland
turns out the Queen of Hearts
is quite the narc and pretty smart
and I was privileged to be raised in her court,
but the wonder dies when children grow up.
I was never enough.
so let's play pretend
that we're best friends
I'll fake a smile
she'll sigh again
I piss her off
when I see right through
the innocent illusion
gazes locked as we circle ...

Reverse Phoenix (Eagles burn slow)
Don’t shield your eyes now
The art has just begun to spread
The sirens are loud, and the colors are bright
The warmth that you tried to extinguish lives.
Don’t shield your eyes,
Don’t shield them now.
Look at the ashes that dance in the air,
Look at our smiles,
Puke at our freedoms
While we’re drunk off your despair.
Don’t close your eyes,
Your pain is my drug.
I want to feel intoxicated again.
Feed me your lies,...
The art has just begun to spread
The sirens are loud, and the colors are bright
The warmth that you tried to extinguish lives.
Don’t shield your eyes,
Don’t shield them now.
Look at the ashes that dance in the air,
Look at our smiles,
Puke at our freedoms
While we’re drunk off your despair.
Don’t close your eyes,
Your pain is my drug.
I want to feel intoxicated again.
Feed me your lies,...
