Dark Dreams
are dreams a glimpse of truth....
my slumber begins on the threshold of a dream
pavements yellowed by gangrenous lights
haunting spectres of memories unleashed
by the threads of reality loosen by sleep
you appear flitting in and out of the light
giggling with your mouth wide open
filled with teeth that are yellow and sharp
your fingernails click as you snap your fingers
the midnight garden on unhallowed ground
dripping red liquid from crushed roses
strewn all over the ground petals plucked
and you laugh that evil...
my slumber begins on the threshold of a dream
pavements yellowed by gangrenous lights
haunting spectres of memories unleashed
by the threads of reality loosen by sleep
you appear flitting in and out of the light
giggling with your mouth wide open
filled with teeth that are yellow and sharp
your fingernails click as you snap your fingers
the midnight garden on unhallowed ground
dripping red liquid from crushed roses
strewn all over the ground petals plucked
and you laugh that evil...

The World Will Turn
The world will turn
as the matchstick burns.
The stove is hot
so the child learns.
From ash to dust
how the heart does trust.
An iron will
succumbs to rust.
Use it or lose,
the game you must choose.
All by design
bleeding and bruised.
Raped as a child,
thrown into the wild.
Point the finger,
you’re on trial.
The world will turn.
Her whisper will burn.
The room is dark
so the child learns.
as the matchstick burns.
The stove is hot
so the child learns.
From ash to dust
how the heart does trust.
An iron will
succumbs to rust.
Use it or lose,
the game you must choose.
All by design
bleeding and bruised.
Raped as a child,
thrown into the wild.
Point the finger,
you’re on trial.
The world will turn.
Her whisper will burn.
The room is dark
so the child learns.

Lucky
The tensions were rising
We were arguing
I don't know about what
I ran outside
The sky was full of planes
I saw one in flames, shot
It was then with horror
That i realised
We were at war
I ran back inside
To shocked to speak, petrified
I collapsed to the floor
The terror coursed through me
This nightmare had come true
The brutality of man
Kill slay, kill murder
Ultimate destruction
As he resorts to his nuclear plan
I knew there, and then
This was the beginning
Of the end ...

Stone Cold Fahrenheit - with Maeve_Edmonson
Confined behind these walls
of intoxication and gloom,
and extracts of monsoons
from the cauldron deep quinine,
listening to the pendulum swoon,
in bitter ides of twilight, I now reside.
Blood reflects from the lagoon,
my heart cracks for what's inside,
as my mind's bassoon shares a tune,
these thoughts begin to come to life
beneath stone-cold Fahrenheit,
in silence as meditation recites.

as my mind's bassoon shares a tune,
these thoughts begin to come to life

Dazzling radiance
tuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
uuuuuu
At the top of the glacier, where the snow blindness is already changing. iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
Fata Morgana can't surprise you, things change.
Not even high-frequency wailing can destroy you.
In the eyes that you don't really have anymore.
A mute force strikes.
You can't defend yourself, you go to your knees.
The beam shines in your face, you have no choice.
You pass through the...

Fossil Ghost
of hitchhikers riding the moon
in dark venues of my mind
of a fossil ghost
in a seance with Mozart
and shadows running deep
attached to the clavicle
catching the cat's eyes
in minuet's boudoir
of hybrid sounds
running the ivory keys
in a seance with Mozart
of a fossil ghost
in dark venues of my mind
of a fossil ghost
in a seance with Mozart
and shadows running deep
attached to the clavicle
catching the cat's eyes
in minuet's boudoir
of hybrid sounds
running the ivory keys
in a seance with Mozart
of a fossil ghost

Dark as The Moo Shu
Dark as the Moo Shu uttering the dead
because I wouldn't say my prayers,
putting the blame on the flames
and what's his name, before...
Heaven burns tonight
with a shadow of my narcissistic Jack in the Box
I lay myself down to procrastinate, listening
to the Ritz crackers laughing
because I wouldn't say my prayers
dark as the Moo Shu uttering the dead
because I wouldn't say my prayers,
putting the blame on the flames
and what's his name, before...
Heaven burns tonight
with a shadow of my narcissistic Jack in the Box
I lay myself down to procrastinate, listening
to the Ritz crackers laughing
because I wouldn't say my prayers
dark as the Moo Shu uttering the dead

Halloween Stalker
Where is it that you live?
Do you go out every night?
What time do you come home?
Am I giving you a fright?
If you would let me in,
I can be there every night,
even though you don't want me to,
I will be a dreadful delight!
I'll be there just for you.
What might a good time be?
Even though you don't want me to,
we’ll have so much fun, you'll see!
Do you go out every night?
What time do you come home?
Am I giving you a fright?
If you would let me in,
I can be there every night,
even though you don't want me to,

I'll be there just for you.
What might a good time be?
Even though you don't want me to,

Spider Thoughts
Head full of spiders
Waiting for each floating thought
To get caught
Wrapping them in cobwebs of you
Silken sullen headache
Need an exterminator
Waiting for each floating thought
To get caught
Wrapping them in cobwebs of you
Silken sullen headache
Need an exterminator

8 hours a night
As I stare at the night sky my mind wanders to a place I dare not go during waking hours.
I lied to the moon for a moments satisfaction that I will not experience again.
Death is having to live in a state of lucidity without reprieve from the horrors I have known.
As I serenade the angels of my better nature with a song of apathy which has no lyrics I am comforted by a truth known only to the universe.
Perchance to dream is the fulfillment of a misery of a thousand cries to the heavens at that most holy hour.
My only sorrow is that it will last a mere 8 hours.
I lied to the moon for a moments satisfaction that I will not experience again.
Death is having to live in a state of lucidity without reprieve from the horrors I have known.
As I serenade the angels of my better nature with a song of apathy which has no lyrics I am comforted by a truth known only to the universe.
Perchance to dream is the fulfillment of a misery of a thousand cries to the heavens at that most holy hour.
My only sorrow is that it will last a mere 8 hours.

The Nightmare and I
It's the fog that casts shadowy doubts. And then it's dark! All of a sudden it's dark!
I'm panicked about the darkness.
Even though the light is on, it's dark.
It's dim and delusional.
I'm tired and exhausted from sleeping.
I don't remember the dreams.
I don't retain the memories.
I don't want to participate.
I don't want to remain.
It's too hard to see.
Am I going insane?
My head is always in a hurry.
It's foggy as hell and it hurts.
It thumps.
With each step.
The shadows...
I'm panicked about the darkness.
Even though the light is on, it's dark.
It's dim and delusional.
I'm tired and exhausted from sleeping.
I don't remember the dreams.
I don't retain the memories.
I don't want to participate.
I don't want to remain.
It's too hard to see.
Am I going insane?
My head is always in a hurry.
It's foggy as hell and it hurts.
It thumps.
With each step.
The shadows...

Think of Me
With every booming crash
With every silver slash in the sky
You deserve to remember
To be cursed with memory
Of the way my hair smells
The way I feel pressed against you
Let this storm remind you
Visions of my lips in your mind
My laugh hidden in the the raindrops
I hope it drives you mad
With every silver slash in the sky
You deserve to remember
To be cursed with memory
Of the way my hair smells
The way I feel pressed against you
Let this storm remind you
Visions of my lips in your mind
My laugh hidden in the the raindrops
I hope it drives you mad
