Regress to a person who was lonely And you are still alone Nostalgia for your golden years Within the safety of your parents home Cause home is where my heart should be But this organ's overworked It's begging for retirement from that restless cavity underneath my shirt I'm young but I feel like I've failed already I'm small but I feel like my soul is heavy I've got mountains to climb Running out of time But the lead in my shoes just wont let me Go I'm so slow All I need them to know Is I'm trying Not flying But falling And I wake up so tired each morning From dreams unrequited And ambitions blighted All erased by stretching and yawning

The presentation of angels And the accompanying glimpse into the nature of heaven Is affirmation that I have retired to a fantasy It was the blinding white light And the open mouth of the screaming boy savior I refuse to acknowledge the idiosyncrasies that make him a man. He is unique among us. He is innocence. He is pain and love. And I will stay with him. And I will choose the great spider that hovers above this desperate and infinite plateau. Do not follow me.

Agaetis Byrjun.
Dark were the days immediately prior to my rebirth. It was at this peculiar time that I realized the potential of endless thought and kicks. The strain of giving and taking and finding the time to be free within our minds. Drink from the actions of others, and your reactions to things that may not be there at all. And with this creation spirals. Endless circles and boxes. To abandon expectation is to be free. And to realize the notion that creation and trailing inspiration is free and easy and limited only to what we have not yet perceived for references sake. I would rather live in pain than not live. From each rebirth, this is what will save me. Reaching out for the time when love was not such a filthy word. And when cities were undauntingly small. I am not so saintly as to resist habit. I have the same fantasies again and again. This wine tastes like bile but I continue to drink. And here I must face the sad realities. The two great monsters and the ends of this town lay dormant, but present, and stare each other down. We can exist above this charade within an insular dimension. Blinkers on. Hats off to us. From each rebirth, this is what will save me. A rare moment of absolute clarity, although I do not know the cause. Is it escape from fear? Or the complete realization of my fear of death? But its liberating. A vision of all of the things that I could achieve. Its not dark. Its blinding light. I plan to exist inside this. And from each rebirth, this is what will save me now. Feverish were the days before I lost it completely. I strive to surprise. I could never have imagined a reaction so pleasant and so true, however confrontation never did suit. On the edge of a precipice, and a dark one at that. The uncertainty concerning my own actions is tantalizingly distressing. Maybe I'll go. Maybe tomorrow. In this rebirth,, I've lost what would once have saved me. And so they're leaving me behind. But who knew we could go so long without sleep. And this insular spectrum is a quagmire of guilt and filth, Population One. So maybe I'll fall. Sink. And ultimately, typically, drown. Exactly like the specter that occupies my nightmares. It was at this time that I realized perhaps I did not require solace. From each twist of the spirit. From each crisis. From each glimpse into the face of the supernatural presence. From each destruction and from each rebirth. I do not wish to be saved. Onward with a maverick as acting muse. A Brave New World. A brave new identity. We drank poison for breakfast again. It's the sound of the Bell's and feedback from before we were born. After much argument, we arrive together. As a single insecure unit. A giant trembling insect. And we both wonder if our voyage into the strangely familiar was worth our energies. I fell. And this was the fate that received me. I asked for revolution. I received only murmurs. I often wish I were a caricature. So I drink up like a ***** and call myself vain. And now I feel like death cooled down. It's rickety and transitional. I need escape and asylum. I Must Not Turn Around. This state of flux is torture and consumption. I will listen to the same sounds over and over. Becoming completely self absorbed. I wonder if I'll always remain the same. Or if I'll substitute. For once, a new universe. There is only superficial light. Mere crackles and cackles outside. It was at this time that I came upon the realization that I am identical. I could not tell one pig from another. So I shuffle back behind the curtain. It's safe here, for now. Concealed by distraction. Keep the screaming child at bay. I collapsed on the bridge. Four walls are stormed. The absurdity of changing colour and the god-like relevance of this was like an electrode to the brain. For a while we sat still. It was at this time that I chose the most difficult avenue. From this rebirth I'm putting myself in the hands of another. This will not save me. I'm struggling, I'm scared, and I'm sorry. If I expose myself, if I stick out my tongue would you do the same? I am quite prepared to gaze into the eyes of the monstrous spider. And accept one world over another. Its the clambering back and forth I cant stand. An ascent into Purgatory, Chaos, And finally, perhaps, Madness.

Potential. Is unknown to me. Americans get therapy. Buy the person they could be. This does not apply to me. I could qute easily amount to nothing. Potential. I might have some. But I saw horror with no fear. What have I become. Ready but just sitting here. There is dirt under my fingernails. Old friend. Our time has come again.

Old Friend. Our time has come again.
I would not repay the Theives That stole The control But I will thank them Everyday Once I work out how to channel this experience to good And become Love.

Theives
This time he said there might be Hurricanes inside of me But surley there's too much of planet earth Left for me to see He's the only one Who doesn't underestimate me Lack of interest In the lives Of the wealthy Sends me to my room What to do When there's life Inside of you Maybe I'll get drunk And you can get drunk too And we'll lay under my ceiling Try to figure out the meaning Of life and death And everything And the thrill I have the will You have the way with words You know exactly what you want to say But I still have to learn There's nothing I want more Than to tell you how I feel But sometimes I get Paranoid That I'm not real And if reality is fake Then we'd better hold on tight For our sanity's sake I don't know my left and right Or what to give and how to take Which hearts to mend And which to break Should I let these people hear the music that I make? Cause the music that I make It's the simplest part of me Would you show the world your ***** naked body? Although I'm not ashamed Sometimes I still worry That it's all a lie But I still try And the weight I carry It's heavy now I'm sinking down To a box Inside a box I'll secure the key You can throw away the locks I may never feel the need To tell myself to stop Time is ticking by But I'm not noticing the clock If X marks the spot You can draw it on my heart Cause sometimes I feel I need something To help it make a start Taking blood from my veins Purify Relieve the pain Then send it off Again away To my body Numb and cold I always do as I am told Cept when I do As I do next Rip my heart out From my chest Extract the passion From my head And with this In peace I rest.
