It’s past time to get up and out
From underneath the warmth

But the splashing water droplets …
Are so soothing

I don’t care to wear under
Where did I leave it this time?

Shaky eyes regaining focus
Is a visual realization

But the thump, thump
Thump thing is missing here

Can we just lose the words?
Can we please?

Rectifying energy
Will be the main squeeze

It’s always in my dreams
And then it leaves

Wearing down the layers
Lay down the wear and tear

The door is open
Can’t you see?

I’ll hold the top lid
You hold the bottom

And on the count of three
We both will leap

It’s not so terrible
I swear it isn’t so

Dripping flesh
Fused as one

The white light
Heating only to extremes

And if I told you
I told you just to breathe

Would you see?
What it could be

The stains won’t come out
But I’m good at dying

Once the ties are removed
You’ll see the beauty

It’s in the veins
Of different shades

Come bask in the heat
Of a moment frozen

Hold my hand
And then release

You’ll soon understand
What was meant by the pressure

Gauge me carefully
With intuitive clarity

Once the poison dries
Look in my eyes

Extract the fibers
From my iris

And look through the woven pattern
Our fingers created

For it all will be
Soon to unfold

what happened to the
     innocence -
          she doesn't wonder
               why the sky is blue anymore.

now she looks at the sky
and sees red chemical clouds,
  and asks why we're all so
   concerned with ourselves.

what happened to the
innocence -
  she doesn't have those
   bright shining eyes anymore

now she tries to pass me
a joint in the corner,
  muttering something about
   lies and broken promises.

what happened to the
innocence -
  i think we showed her
   too much that was broken.
    too much that was tattered
     and torn
          and misshapen
               and wrong -
she doesn't see the rainbows -
     there are clouds in the way.
she doesn't hear bluebirds sing -
     there's a car on the street.

so i guess now
innocence is
jaded,
and we've
     nothing

          left

to lose.

It's not the Devil's code
Or even the symbol he uses
666
Is just a way of life
To say fuck everything
When we have nothing left to gain
Yet everything to lose
We tattoo it on our chest
Our forearms or our wrist
To cover the scars we gained
From years of fighting with our savage emotions
That turn cannibalistic on our bodies
666
Is a cry for help
A plead for mercy when your throat
Would rather be slit
Than to have it be the reason
Your face is 6 feet deep
In someones ass kissing it
666
Is the exclamation
Our revolutionary proclamation
We will not live on our knees
But rather die on our feet

Patient and waiting
Caring yet feelings hidden
Believe the lies and ditch out the truth
Evade me more and you will suffer longer
Those events that happened so quickly
At the same pace you will lose them
Try to stop the present
Lose sight of your future
Unknown and unclear
These paths unmarked
With a tilt of your head
You always look up
Answers aren't above you but within
You seek for something greater
Catch it now or you’ll be catching it later
You know there’s nothing out there
Nothing is of value
Nothing to wait for

Heartbreak is the most horrid feeling,
It really prevents people from healing.

It's like losing your favourite teddy bear,
Your trying to end it all off with a prayer.

It's like losing the best person you could have ever known,
Then there is just empty ground where it had all grown.

Sometimes people try to remake what was there,
But they find that its too hard for them to bare.

They will often ask " what could I have done to keep it?"
Or "Why was I hit?"

To my friends who suffer this dreadful feeling,
It could be many more nights where you just stare at the ceiling.

But just wait, don't run after love,
You must wait, it will give you a shove.

Just keep waiting, don't lose hope,
Love will be there somewhere along the rope.

The wild beast,
paces up and down his window,
he is fully capable of jumping the fence,
but why doesn't he?

Is it because he knows his next meal is coming from the keepers?
Is it that he likes the attention from the terrified people looking in?
Is the reason that he is to naive to think of such a thing?
Is it he has no reason to and he doesn't know any better than just pacing?

Or could it be that he understands the terror of the keepers who would lose him?
He just wants peace and he knows there would be no freedom,
the keepers would always be right behind him,
so he has no choice but to pace in his man made cave.

Pull the money from your mouth
I know my words are in there but cannot find a way out
Get that gold out of your blood
We aren't saints or sinners
So lose what you can for now
Take the coins out of your love
I can't exchange the currency
But I'll pick what's left from your lungs.

It can be easy to lose hope
Sometimes in life when
Things get there heaviest
It can weigh you down
And you begin to lose
Hope inside of your
Heart but if you allow
Yourself to raise your
Hope and raising your
Faith and allowing yourself
To soar and raise above any
Challenges that might come
Your way I think you will
Find that after a while
When life gets tough
If you can raise
A little hope
You will
Be better
Off

As I wandered the dunes of Evermore,
I sought the golden key of light,
Found you there,
In my darkest night.

Now what dreams, these, that drift at night?
They break my bones, reveal a plight,
As star struck wanderers wove their tales,
And sang songs to one another of purest light,
There slipped a crack through the veil.

I hang my head now,
And sing this sad tale.  

The purest love, born on high,
Did ring our hearts and bind,
Yet faltered step upon the path
Did lose us on our way.

Dim grew the day,
As secrets held,
And puzzles became the way,
Of reading hearts and asking thoughts,
The clouds began to rain.
  
What love is this that sings my heart,
And draws me ever near?
More than mine to have and hold,
Shame brings me to reveal.
  
Slipped and fell upon gentle trails,
Now this love, how it longs!
I read the struggle in my words,
I hear it in every song.

I sing now, to set it right,
To show I know the truth.
My blood it boils, and face does flush,
Yet cannot keep, the love I feel,
With no place here to rest.

I slipped the path,
I slipped the path,
And broke your dearest trust!
  
Words to find to write this time,
Can not ever tell,
The sorrow I now feel,

In losing you,
In losing true,
Losing, losing you.


I loved you so much,
I wanted to see all of you,
Surround you with my love.

I still do.  
I still do. 

How can this be righted now?
Will there ever be a way?

I wanted to speak honestly,
Not darken all your days.  
Not cloud your brow,
Nor break your heart,
Nor cause you any, smallest pain.  
But could not find a way to dwell,
And keep this in my heart.  

You burst upon me night and day,
I've fallen off the ledge.
Barely breathing from wanting you,
It's time you cast me away.

To keep to true,
Keep for you,
Leave me mine,
Leave me behind.

To say I'm sorry, seems so small,
And doesn't heal a thing at all. 
I didn't know,
I didn't plan,
I did not come to steal.
Nothing I can say at all,
Nothing i can do.  

Losing true,
Losing true,
Losing, losing you.
