Repetition of a Burnt Tongue
Half awake but still hunting for that metal taste,
Melt the iron in your blood just to mold it to the same shape,
This way you wont change when you wait for me
Why do you feel so bad when youre so lucky?
Ungrateful, with the aura of an angel
But your chakras got me blocked up i dont want ya i just need to sip on your saint flow
Catch me hoppin out your window in the night like a vampire, i dont really want her i just wanna look good when i stand by her, and i know she gon leave just before the time is right, but at least she strutting out that sky like some...

How did I know?
how did you know to be a god?
confused, sitting alone in darkness, yet all knowing of the nothing that lays at your feet.
how do you know, you are a god?
who whispered in your ear ?
who else might be out there pretending?
how is it your perfect in your absence ?
what a beautiful mess you left.
save us from us, save us from you.
a creative wonder that we blew
imagine a god that’s made from you,,, that acts like you, looks like you, loves and hate like you do
how did I know I was God ?because I told myself the truth
confused, sitting alone in darkness, yet all knowing of the nothing that lays at your feet.

save us from us, save us from you.

The Lake
the lake lies by a roadside
hidden by hedges and trees
a stretch of country lane
that passes through an English village
Old Money and New
a village with a history one would choose to forget
the lake looks calm on a summer day
the water reflecting rural surroundings
an oasis that invites people to dive in and swim
but no one dares
the village legend remains strong
the myths and the facts
memories of those that have drowned in the lake
the lake
stay away
hidden by hedges and trees
a stretch of country lane
that passes through an English village
Old Money and New
a village with a history one would choose to forget
the lake looks calm on a summer day
the water reflecting rural surroundings
an oasis that invites people to dive in and swim
but no one dares
the village legend remains strong
the myths and the facts
memories of those that have drowned in the lake
the lake
stay away

Blind Eye
This vague emptiness is waterboarding words
Who needs support when they couldn't see a dying hope
What was wrong is wrong & you will never justify a right
I can no longer swallow a voice of understanding
You sought a way to look away while I tried to hide
You let a virus walk among you, that sickens my core
You let a fiend talk among you, that thickens my pain
You let a swindler hunt among you, that quickens my death
I'm dying on family trees that refuse to grow
A accessory of blunt force trauma to innocence ...
Who needs support when they couldn't see a dying hope
What was wrong is wrong & you will never justify a right
I can no longer swallow a voice of understanding
You sought a way to look away while I tried to hide
You let a virus walk among you, that sickens my core
You let a fiend talk among you, that thickens my pain
You let a swindler hunt among you, that quickens my death
I'm dying on family trees that refuse to grow

Bushfire
My country is on fire
This is no fuckin’ joke
Things are dead set dire
The air is full of smoke
Infernal orange skies
Over cast the land
Unless you see it with your eyes
You wouldn't understand
Mass destruction of homes
And of our wildlife too
People filming on their phones
Miles of dead kangaroos
It's burning across the states
We're in an uphill fight
Holy fuckin' shit mates
There is no end in sight
This is no fuckin’ joke
Things are dead set dire
The air is full of smoke
Infernal orange skies
Over cast the land
Unless you see it with your eyes
You wouldn't understand
Mass destruction of homes
And of our wildlife too
People filming on their phones
Miles of dead kangaroos
It's burning across the states
We're in an uphill fight
Holy fuckin' shit mates
There is no end in sight

Destined to fight
I did what the doctor said
I took the pills he said would silence the voices in my head
told me they'd chase away the feeling of dread
reverse the poison that I was fed
but I think I was misled
because I still feel like I'm living on my deathbed.
I buckle beneath the weight of my smile
go to therapy and put my demons on trial
wish I could tell you it was worthwhile
and me and joy have reconciled
so when things go down in a spiral
my brain won't jump to suicide.
I still remember the things I would die to forget
they still...

All I want is to be happy
but lately my life’s been really crappy nothings going right and I’m really starting to lose hope
I’m up all night listening to music and struggling to cope
Tears fill my eyes but the screams don’t leave my head
I’ve got no motivation I barely leave my bed
I’m keeping up a dead smile and saying everything’s okay
But fuck man I’ve really lost my way
My minds screaming self hate
So I blare out music when I’m up late
I’m gonna end up relapsing at this rate
I’m drowning

I’m keeping up a dead smile and saying everything’s okay

Headlights
Woke up next to you
only good thing in this bed
and If I break your heart
You can only break my neck
There’s nothing more I need
On our way to a party
Our song came on
you sang so loud
getting me excited
Can’t wait to watch
you sing and dance
Got there late
something you hate
Left partly
do to the fight we had
Our song came on so I
Turned it up
looked your way
Switched stations
shook your head
Eyes went back to the road
Was going to say something
so she’s...
only good thing in this bed
and If I break your heart
You can only break my neck
There’s nothing more I need
On our way to a party
Our song came on
you sang so loud
getting me excited
Can’t wait to watch
you sing and dance
Got there late
something you hate
Left partly
do to the fight we had
Our song came on so I
Turned it up
looked your way
Switched stations
shook your head
Eyes went back to the road
Was going to say something

Lately
Lately
, I’ve been chasing after
Thoughts that are much warmer
But they’re getting much faster
I Woke up in a daze and Soon
you’ll get over this faze it’ll end
I Burnt you for no witnesses
the only one that burned I regret
Someone new, someone like you
You’re the only thing that gets hurt here
When it’s all done and I’m all alone
I know that You’ll never return
I’m feeling so grey
My eyes are so red
No sleep because
My Thoughts are reread
I fucked everything up ...

Russian Attack as High Tech RAPE
When Russia attacks America, it will be
with missiles that are like flying phalluses of steel.
(Flying phalluses from HELL).
So Russian Attack will be high tech RAPE.
New York City will get RAPED,
Washington DC will get RAPED,
Richmond Virginia will get RAPED.
LA will get RAPED, Denver too - viciously savagely RAPED-RAPED-and RAPED again !!
Over and over: the RAPING OF AMERICA will continue until all our cities are gone.
For in place of semen being released, fire - nuclear fireballs - will come forth from the metalic phalluses from HELL. ...

I Don't Know Those Words
What language are they speaking?
I don't know those words
I see their mouths are moving
And their feelings are hurt
They're telling me it's over
I don't know those words
My legs won't let me leave
Without answers
Under a passing cloud, over an uncrossed river
As it all turns out, on this unknown path
There's a new life that I must learn
Why...(In the only world I see)
Why...(Is the only word I breathe)
What story am I reading?
I don't know those words
My memory still holds her ...
I don't know those words
I see their mouths are moving
And their feelings are hurt
They're telling me it's over
I don't know those words
My legs won't let me leave
Without answers
Under a passing cloud, over an uncrossed river
As it all turns out, on this unknown path
There's a new life that I must learn
Why...(In the only world I see)
Why...(Is the only word I breathe)
What story am I reading?
I don't know those words
My memory still holds her ...

Gold.
I see fear in strong faces
Between healed bones
And night bruises
Strength carved out in hollow chests
We are all empty
Trying to cause our selves pain
In the name of art
Figuring out where we fit
Into the bigger picture
The picture we had no part in creating
I try, with the assumption that you'll do the same
But disappointment can be seductive
Hang over you like a tree that
Has started to decay
They mimic hollowed out bones in my face
You've gotten older
You do not smell as sweet
Your hair...
Between healed bones
And night bruises
Strength carved out in hollow chests
We are all empty
Trying to cause our selves pain
In the name of art
Figuring out where we fit
Into the bigger picture
The picture we had no part in creating
I try, with the assumption that you'll do the same
But disappointment can be seductive
Hang over you like a tree that
Has started to decay
They mimic hollowed out bones in my face
You've gotten older
You do not smell as sweet
Your hair...
