Mere words writhe under an acids tongue to spew
carelessly upon the deaf ears of fate
Shards of humanity lay bleeding at your feet to
seal their inane quest into faith
Tormented yet peaceful in a requiem played on a
broken violin by the spirit of your conscience
Though I see the pain in your eyes I cannot bring
myself to lay a hand of comfort on your skin
Tears well in my heart and yet I still hold back in fear
of loves denial, or is it I am just a coward?
Be what it may I turn my back and walk away into
the recesses of what was yesterday
The loneliness in utter desolation is but a scar on the soul
of those who do not open their
Gentle silence rests through the county,
leaving day to chase night-
the glory is the chase of the bounty.
Skipping through hayfields in the summer light.
Typical stone faces blazing with colour,
like blushes of freelance youth.
Feeling ideas that can't be smothered;
the wind tears your thoughts loose.
Letters hide in the wide open sky,
the message could read what you dream-
alas, to our demise: mystery is shy,
love and patience: the ill fitting team.
Swim for refreshment in the crystal creek,
let the current kiss the tips of your toes.
The water eerily hums; exotic birds squeak-
hush child, the forest consumes your woes.

Pride and the indecision,
Come what tomorrow skies at bay-
We shall all die alone and barren,
The cold promise given so we pray.
Do not hope, it is forsaken,
Depravity strips us from our demands,
Love is nothing but a nightmare,
There is nothing it can withstand.
Let's chase the sorrowful lusts tonight,
Fuck it all, we have nothing to lose but gained,
And when we are old and bitter,
Death shall be but the gift at old age.
And so we count and count,
Waiting for the last moment to recall,
For maybe father time shall sleep,
And mankind will be swallowed whole in all.
I should have seen those signs all around me
But I was comfortable inside these wounds
So go ahead and take another piece of me, now
While we all bow down to you
You tear me down
And then you pick me up
You take it all
And still it’s not enough
You try to tell me
You can heal me
But I’m still bleeding
And you’ll be the death of me
How can you end my affliction
If you’re the sickness and I’m the cure?
Too long I’ve faked this addiction
Another sacrifice to make us pure
You tear me down
And then you pick me up
You take it all
And still it’s not enough
You try to tell me
You can heal me
But I
