I run from gentle hands. II
I run from gentle hands
They pry you open
Examine every secret locked in your bones
They claim it's love, but you feel utterly exposed
I run from gentle hands
They say you'll only feel a pinch
As they slip, and your mouth is stitched
Gentle hands grip me harder than
Hard course hands I find sharp knives in
Gentle hands bind you, claiming you're too wild
These same gentle hands crucified the perfect child
I run from gentle hands
Because gentle hands don't gently understand
They pry you open
Examine every secret locked in your bones
They claim it's love, but you feel utterly exposed
I run from gentle hands
They say you'll only feel a pinch
As they slip, and your mouth is stitched
Gentle hands grip me harder than
Hard course hands I find sharp knives in
Gentle hands bind you, claiming you're too wild
These same gentle hands crucified the perfect child
I run from gentle hands
Because gentle hands don't gently understand

Played
Many more words I could lay on this page About you, about us, my mind in a haze
My memory fading, It was moons ago
Pen bleeding thoughts on cruise control
projecting imaginary lullabies, in lieu of our story
I never could be sure of how you felt about me
You opened my heart and left it on the verge of nothingness
Avoiding me like the plague, god is my witness
I would have moved mountains for you, I think I still would
You deprived yourself of the engine that could
For what it's worth, I thought I was played
If it wasn't the case,...
My memory fading, It was moons ago
Pen bleeding thoughts on cruise control
projecting imaginary lullabies, in lieu of our story
I never could be sure of how you felt about me
You opened my heart and left it on the verge of nothingness

I would have moved mountains for you, I think I still would
You deprived yourself of the engine that could
For what it's worth, I thought I was played

Lizard King
I’m the lizard king
Don’t know anything
I creep in the crevices
Lost souls I know
I’m everything squared
Slime on a rock I was there
I’m a living thing
Can’t figure it out by myself
I’m the supreme being
Don’t know who I am
Cave dweller in a man cave
Slug on a sofa
I’m the Lizard King
Singing to the choir
Don’t know anything
I creep in the crevices
Lost souls I know
I’m everything squared
Slime on a rock I was there
I’m a living thing
Can’t figure it out by myself
I’m the supreme being
Don’t know who I am
Cave dweller in a man cave
Slug on a sofa
I’m the Lizard King
Singing to the choir

Regurgitated Rumination
Remember that time
When we were happy?
The noise of the world
Could not stop us
Though they slapped us
With desperate warnings
We wrote them off
As jealous nothings
Together we broke
Molds and habits
At the end of the day
We did not give two shits
Discarded their sayings
Those stark warnings
Discounting every word
to live wholeheartedly
We ignored wisdom
Gave into delirium
To live our life of beauty
To live in hedonism
When we were happy?
The noise of the world
Could not stop us
Though they slapped us
With desperate warnings
We wrote them off
As jealous nothings
Together we broke
Molds and habits
At the end of the day
We did not give two shits
Discarded their sayings
Those stark warnings
Discounting every word
to live wholeheartedly
We ignored wisdom
Gave into delirium
To live our life of beauty
To live in hedonism

I’m bombarded with everything and nothing at the same time
I’m bombarded with everything and nothing at the same time
Everybody wants something from me and I’m too fed up to reply
I hate that at these hard times I’m turning my back
And running away instead of facing it with pride
The moment I wanted to step out outside ,
I realized I have no one to share laugh
And I know I have no one to blame but myself
But I honestly get sicker and sicker each day
Everybody wants something from me and I’m too fed up to reply
I hate that at these hard times I’m turning my back
And running away instead of facing it with pride
The moment I wanted to step out outside ,
I realized I have no one to share laugh
And I know I have no one to blame but myself
But I honestly get sicker and sicker each day

Not Like You
In the night, I feel complete,
Immersed in my unique world.
The darkness brings peace,
Free from the troubles of the day.
Yet, you wouldn't understand
That it's hard for me to blend in,
So I withdraw into the tranquility of solitude.
Since my virtue matters, so does my integrity--
I lament being crude, but I'm not like you.
But how can you expect me to lie?
When you know, I struggle just to simply get by.
Immersed in my unique world.
The darkness brings peace,
Free from the troubles of the day.
Yet, you wouldn't understand
That it's hard for me to blend in,
So I withdraw into the tranquility of solitude.
Since my virtue matters, so does my integrity--
I lament being crude, but I'm not like you.
But how can you expect me to lie?
When you know, I struggle just to simply get by.

Why we do what we do
There comes a time in each of our lives, that we have to learn to walk away from the very darkness of deepness, with it's negativity that draws us into a different kind of space that's out of this world. 🌎 For sure my question. ❓ TO you is more beneficial, to the well being of your insanity that has taken, over your life even your thoughts and dreams. For my question to you. ❓Why do we do that what we do 😞 when it comes to our relationships, as we choose to stay in a bad situation. For is it out of the love that you have not yet truly received, for is it that you...

“Waiting”
Waiting with insomnia,
My companion to the end.
Eyes closed, heart in pieces;
Too many to mend.
Racing thoughts, going so slow;
Dreams lost, couldn’t find my way.
Gave up long ago-
In supplication I pray.
A path with purpose;
A burden too great.
Dejected and hopeless
I carry this weight.
Unable to understand,
Or misunderstood.
Intention’s become blurred;
Beginning to question what’s good.
Half truths and trusting smiles;
Love laced with complete lies.
Spreading stain of deception
Bleeding before...
My companion to the end.
Eyes closed, heart in pieces;
Too many to mend.
Racing thoughts, going so slow;
Dreams lost, couldn’t find my way.
Gave up long ago-
In supplication I pray.
A path with purpose;
A burden too great.
Dejected and hopeless
I carry this weight.
Unable to understand,
Or misunderstood.
Intention’s become blurred;
Beginning to question what’s good.
Half truths and trusting smiles;
Love laced with complete lies.
Spreading stain of deception
Bleeding before...

Sanity
We spend our whole adult life
Distracting ourselves from losing our
Sanity
Some are just better at it than others
Some of us just give in
Lyrically Inclined

Terms and conditions
They are everywhere
so you better beware
of line TC.6924 Prime
our terms can change at any time
last year, today or in 4.6578 hours
even if your taking a shower
we decide the time, the terms will always
change, like traffic lights on the main
now you may disagree
I argue with gun owners who love guns over kids
lets ban those bullet shooting devils
they respond, is in the constitution
that thing you can not change
our rights are like concrete
you are a shame
I reply with mockery
do you not know
that was...

Trapped In Your Swollen Heart
Damaged.
Someone did you wrong.
Now we pay for it.
Shame to the one that did you wrong.
Shame on you for falling for it.
Over and over again.
You’re circling into your own tail.
A toxic circle of dizziness.
Good at times but can you come back?
Will you be trapped in the past?
The guy who hurt her the most she will forever love.
What did we do to pay this price?
What must be done to get what we deserve?
Someone did you wrong.
Now we pay for it.
Shame to the one that did you wrong.
Shame on you for falling for it.
Over and over again.
You’re circling into your own tail.
A toxic circle of dizziness.
Good at times but can you come back?
Will you be trapped in the past?
The guy who hurt her the most she will forever love.
What did we do to pay this price?
What must be done to get what we deserve?
