Oh God forgive me, for I have sinned
I'll bury my head in the dirt
Just to repent.
Just to forget.

Expire

What's it like being pinned between a car and tree?
Your holy spirit can't heal your pulverized spine.
Enter the void, take your last breath. Breath in. Expire.
Your loved ones will say goodbye from miles away.
Family of four, now nothing more.

Watch me drift away
Watch me shift my gaze
On an never ending sun
Burning up.
Nothing lost,
Nothing won.

It's 3 am
You're here spinning around my head
Fear in our hearts, hate in our minds
It never seemed to be this dark at night
Sleep never felt so distant
It's 4 am
My body has never felt this cold
Must be my aging bones
Sleep, sleep is for the weak
The night sky never seemed so alone
At 9 am
I had to drive you home
Both of us felt so spent
I bet that cat still wonders where we went

Indigo Dreams
01:15
|

|
Murdered in a room built under the earth.
Flowers grew where the bones withered away
The songs stop with the death of birds
I'll do anything to make them pay
Winter never seems to end
This time will never come again
Every second is a memory that we'll forget
I dream in blue
My dreams of you
Are forever lost
Along with you.
Lost in a sea
Of indigo dreams,
Secrets destroyed this world
Just like I destroyed yours.

Missing
03:24
|

|
Blackened teeth and blackened lungs
Hold my tongue and hold my breath
I've waited 60 days till you're back
I've been lost in my head: a trainwreck
Now everything has changed it's hue
The last thing I thought of was your perfume
I still miss the way you smell
I still miss the way you helped.

A Crow In His Cage
01:42
|

|
Brushing my teeth with bullets
Let the flaws fall out
Can I call you now?
An opus to no one
A feeling so lonesome
A hopeless and soulless expression: a poem
Written with words attempting to be wholesome
Do you hear that sound?
That buzzing in the background
The hum of a light left on for too long
The chill in the air when the winds start to calm
A foot out of step, a song sung all wrong
Do you think of me now? Or will you when I'm gone?
A place so crowded now empty and quiet
A whisper too sweet to hear
A secret too dark to keep
A thought too selfish to think
Will I be here forever or will I ascend?
I will ascend.

I'm sorry for being the ghost that I am
I'm sorry for never paying attention
I'm sorry for all the flaws that I have
I'll put my heart in my hand
Cough up my lungs on the ground
I don't know what's worse, the smell or the sound.

Hunted
00:50
|
|||
|
Clouded eyes
Can't see straight
But I'll still watch you
Disintegrate
17 dead
Nothing left
A question why?
An answer unheard
There are no words
A blind eye turned
Again and again
Nothing changes
It never will
I'll hunt you all
Till you feel the pain
The family's felt
When they lost their son
When they lost their daughter
When they lost their friend
When they lost their brother
Dying was never in their dreams
But I'll make sure that I'm in yours.
Haunted
Hunted

Stylobate

From the mouth of dusk
To the aching dawn
Skewered on tusks
The gasping fawn
Inhales rotten dust
Exhales a final yawn
His body rotting, accelerated
I watched and I commiserated
I thought about the evil that men do
The violence that my brothers spew
Trapped inside a camera lens
Prison at my own expense
The sky is a cage of razor wire
I cleanse my soul with sacred fire
Carcass abandoned through kerosene
Silence sings out louder than the brightest bell
