The Hook Or The Cross

some days the mirrors fade
they change with the shapes
pugilistic faces remain
as they break
shots to the body
my ribs out of place
the damage I take
only known to a saint
or a martyr
I’m the villain in a story
that I can’t read
time like a fire
slowly eats us alive
burns to control you
it owns our whole lives
hell like a sequel
to every mistake
it eats only halos
and asks you to pray
for something else
I’m the villain in a story
that I can’t read
stay down if you don’t want to fail
be crowned the king who was for sale
try not to finish what you start
retrain the world like Joan of Arc
slowly the gates come down
can’t wait to wake this town
slowly the gates come down
can’t wait to wake this town
don’t let contenders waste their dreams
don’t look away, just let them scream
stay down if you don’t want to fail
[ same fate, don't let me down ]
be crowned the king who was for sale
[ can't escape what's around ]
don’t let contenders waste their dreams
[ slowly the gates come down ]
don’t look away, just let them scream
[ can’t wait to change this town ]
please take your pills
so I can sleep

Misery & Isobel

once upon a time
i lost for the both of us
below the waves
you start to rush
crushed inside a rhyme
where no one can
speak or lie
every crime in pantomime
you start to teach
just out of reach i will rebel
she's just as sweet
a honey bee like caramel
dead to rights design
the vultures still circling
we clear the rust
begin to trust
lost returns to burn
all of our suffering
only mine for just a time
you start to teach
just out of reach i will rebel
she's just as sweet
a honey bee like caramel
the injury we could agree
begins to swell
and all I see
is misery in isobel
you start to teach
just out of reach i will rebel
she's just as sweet
a honey bee like caramel
a fantasy that I believe
a living hell
and all I see
is misery in isobel

Detention

leaders who read between the story
sever the chapters
learning the meaning with none of the answers
lessons we need seem so impure
no weight to an action
couldn't compete with another distraction
every disease should find a cure
within some compassion
please would you capture me
I'm bored, we need an overhaul
sleep well dream through the bell
first lessons always feel so cruel
sleep well seasons in hell
while you were busy in school
i played the part of a fool
i know it feels like I'm wrong
but the jokes on you
seeking the thieves who stole the show
dead where we found them
no one believed we'd survive the mayhem
kids who retreat need scenes of their own
sing 'em an anthem
watching the creatures fail to attract them
punishment seems like such a chore
no satisfaction
please would you capture me
I'm bored, we need an overhaul
we dwell
in weakness we will reign
means well
someone's gonna take us away

Life After God
07:16

lonely cravings, vacant space
actually empty, mostly ok
no one sleeps when the
prisoners dream or awake
slow temptations, open chains
peace feels like a ceaseless phase
can’t compete with these
halcyon days
treat it with alcohol
pour it away
drain to intoxicate
try not to waste
eternally young
unlikely to change
you knew how to save us
so gently it aches
let’s make a mistake
let's make a mistake
we're not so unique
uncomfortably tame
we happen by accident
random display
let's make a mistake
we’re not a mistake
I'll make a mistake
celebrations wane so thin
actual anguish, where'd it begin?
it's so cold with their
shoulders here
bare to the wind
heaven help them see me fade
artificially feels so great
indiscreet like
invisible shame
seems just like apathy
warm in the waves
waiting to capture me
weightless again
our future so bright
it blooms with a flame
usurping the darkness
from all of the shade
I'll make a mistake
I'll make a mistake
let's cast out the light
so everything's gray
dynamically empty
we'll all be the same
we’ll make a mistake
we’re not a mistake
I made a mistake
unfazed by the high
you’ve washed it away
so happy we’re filthy
it's such a cliche
I made a mistake
I made a mistake
farewell to your world
in love with disgrace
don’t call us an ambulance
sorry I made
another mistake
I’m not a mistake
I made a mistake

Glued Wound
06:30
|

death is not a friend to things
dust in place of former kings
crushed within oblivion
singing “change can make a difference”
all raised up to fear the end
traditionally ignorant
open sources abstinent
slowly grows to form crescendos
from all our screams
descending from the wolves
we drape our selves in wool
pretending sheep can dream of meaning
like a phantom mostly fades
only hope through recreation
to reverse it before it wastes
reinventing
next time the encore reaches its end
pretend you’re only conjuring me again
it's all revenge
suspend your lonely screams
as we haunt routines
that sleep through
most of our dreams
face the crimes we can’t escape
just in time but much too late
chasing time procrastinates
generations always fade away
memories only known to cease
gone within a century
climb down here to rot with me
for a hundred years in fear
we will build our grave
every time we die begin again
we’re never ending
descending from the wolves
we drape our selves in wool
pretending secrets are demeaning
what if truth is mostly gray
shielding youth is so deceiving
to rebalance what's at stake
fall out
so warm
as the sun descends
we find peace
glued wound to seal our fate
we're just in time but much too late
design the end of days
the dust in place of empires
that we raise

Only Skin

under the covered debris
the perfect mask for me
remove the curtain but
don't get ready, no one should
because it feels so heavy
understood
i guess the weight we carry
barely stood
I'm never part of the team
the only broken seam
try to repair it but
what's the purpose
there's no substance
underneath the surface
worse with time
as you begin to worry
promise me you're fine
stay down
weighed down
hail to the idiots
end of their prime
sensitive boys
who lack sense in their lives
sleep right beside
as the suicide watch
saves the night
stage fright saves time
change my face like
shapes upon the floor
fall from great heights
fail to stay quiet
fair, but I want more
somewhere to explore
on the surface you're
glad that I'm not bored
slowly I'll endure

Tinder
05:35

her haircut calls for
eyes to wonder what went wrong
a darkness softly soaking
on to slay the blonde
wake up afraid
what a mistake
everyone pays for
what they’ve done
only the lonely should
groan over stories in flames
beg for the jury you’ll
fuel all the fury instead
guilty emotions unraveling
oceans like lakes
predicting a rapture
won’t summon disaster
bastards choking on
their laughter slowly going
after all of the freaks
blank stares soaring through the
air, contributing to nightmares
making me weak
she enters through the cage
a stage if you look in
she’ll prove the animals
outside were not real men
they could be tamed
but she’ll make a mistake
wait for the flames
to walk right in
only the lonely should
groan over stories in flames
beg for the jury you’ll
fuel all the fury instead
guilty emotions unraveling
oceans like lakes
predicting a rapture
won’t summon disaster
actors swinging from the
rafters, what a huge
disaster, they were the worst
capture actually a
factor, someone should
extract her, I think she was cursed
wake up afraid
what a mistake
everyone pays for
what they’ve done
only the lonely should
groan over stories in flames
beg for the jury you’ll
fuel all the fury instead
guilty emotions unraveling
oceans like lakes
predicting a rapture
won’t summon disaster
ashes slowly falling
fractions mostly stalling
action, they’ll have to wait
so tired show me to the
bonfire you should know
when I die to throw me right in

Angel's Share

wasted daylight
may shine when
waking in bed
alive but exhausted all week
a slave to the days without sleep
remember the cramps will demand
a dance with the barman
admitting I was a mess
almost feels like a blessing
no one left to impress
let me rest
confess in the darkness
with no allegations
revealing the pain
in the absence of help
begin to poison myself
but overwhelmed by the taste
lazy strained eyes
stay blind til
dreams pour away
grace like great wine
needs time to
clarify as an alibi for the change
a gemini it will modify to the cage
the enemy my identity is to blame
fermenting in patience I
repent for my age
confess in the darkness
with no allegations
revealing the pain
in the absence of help
begin to poison myself
but overwhelmed by the taste
seeking a conscience
a reason to act
on withdrawing my name
in the absence of health
i'll have a toast to myself
"three cheers to what I became"
the remedy to an enemy is a drink
I'm removing my pride
so empty inside
nothing left here to drain
in the absence of self
i'll become someone else
i'm the monster they blame
seeking an action
a means to react on
the needs I create
in the absence of help
I'm not feeling myself
let me sleep through the day
I'm withdrawing my name
