How I watch you tear in two Red stained, the white and blue To watch the sufferers nightmares true This is all because of you Because you did not research facts Over watching news Because your tv was your god Information, cyanide, your food You stood there taking pictures Of chaos all around you And now your screen is flashing red You're wondering "what do I do" Because you never learned to fight And take back what belongs to you Because you built these heavy walls Partial to their bricks I watch the prisoners defend The contamints that make them sick America, her dress is torn A ********** so used and worn And we just stand and watch her burn God save this Red, White and Blue God save Her, Red stained, White and Blue.

Red Stained, White and Blue
I will close my eyes Perspectives will tell A perfect obscenity Im perfectly numb You think its simple I bleed thoughts like rivers And exhale fears Turn me to understanding That I accept why That I put my fists down And stop punching walls Assure me you have not gone Surround me in my uncertainty Read me like a book Then rewrite my pages Tear our my ending Finish the beginning I pray you hear me And cut the ties that fit my bind I don't want to stop I just want to rest awhile I just want to rest..

Life Death Hope Loss A canvas of happiness and sorrow The Aesthetic of existing Beauty in the painting Admiring the painter Every stroke from birth to final light We wake the morning We die to the night Wherever we go The static plays a melody The sound of increasing pretense As the serpents die of their own poison Drink from their own goblets The play is over and the curtains close Thank you for coming We hope you enjoyed the show The Aesthetic

Aesthetic
Bite my lips untill they bleed Because I don't want to say a word Pass the moment like a frayed lie As we sit here staring into the abyss Your eyes like glass and sand Telling me the time is running out Shut up, Don't you speak I know you want to go away And fade like wispy mentions But tonight will last as long as your gaze And I feel you cold like ice Again a dead end turn around Shes burying her own hatchet Shes burying evidence of traitors I feel cold and you have no warmth So the night dies slowly with my hopes And hope dies with your last words Its over, ive lost my grasp on you I've lost it because I gave it all to you

Its Over
I don't need direction I don't need your guidence You sound like everything I hate Theres nothing in your "hallowed" shell Theres nothing you have to give When i've already cursed the numbers The time has already come You missed it You were never there When you were it hurt When you were it tore me open I've bled out all my empathy Im not looking for you to rescue me When you can't even lift your wings From the heavieness of your parades Don't you think it's getting late? Don't you think it's time you go home? Walk away like you fade in the wind Because I don't have memory of us I don't recognize you I guess I'm just staring into the face Of a Ghostly past A Ghost of my past

Too Late
100 prayers and breathing spells as I lay awake at my breaking point praying will the shadows go away? 3:00 hits again and my eyes wide open Another night of tears how i could choke On the disbelief like a death bed Pool of sweat as I breathe slowly The song of angels so distant in her voice As I bury my thoughts in the pillows again Sanity bleeds i need sleep But it never brings me rest Just a piece of mind in the shards of glass Slamming my fist into the reflection of myself Why can't I recognize this man? Why can't I comprehend his eyes? The pressure feeds on me As I feed upon the seeds of its birth Sometimes I wonder Did I make a mistake? Did I cut the cord too short? And now the prayers I breathe Breathe heavy The night is fading to light again Another sleepless night And another question without answer Thank God it's over Untill the nightmares tomorrow Another 100 prayers and breathing spells Another 100 prayers and breathing spells

Prayers and Breathing Spells
Dragged in by chains You won't leave alone tonight With everything you've said Every crime commited Here is a prison Made of everything you know Throw away the key Because You won't see the day Again All fear and shame They knew my name I was in ******* to every broken sin All fear and shame They knew my name I was in ******* to every sin And here I was lost Bound to my cell Past was calling Burdened from hell You took my place Where nailed wrists bled And the thorns that pierced Where you died and bled Taking my place Breathing softly As the casket closed And iron maiden To close me into binds No escape No closure No escaping the exposure of this sting Untill you came And took the death belonging to me And here I was lost Bound to my cell Past was calling Burdened from hell You took my place Where nailed wrists bled And the thorns that pierced Where you died and bled Taking my place And here I was lost Bound to my cell Past was calling Burdened from hell You took my place Where nailed wrists bled And the thorns that pierced Where you died and bled Taking my place Take this life and all its pain Blessed Are you Slain Blessed Is The Slain Blessed, beloved return again

Blessed Is The Slain
Writing on The Walls A bloodstained handprint Are you alive to see this Do your eyes pierce now? Where the soul sees a mirror? Oh God why cant they see Why can't they see The writing on the walls Wed like to stay blind But the rest wont last Time to break a flatline And wakeup from your bed Pray now You fall on your knees in grief Do you see what you've been doing? Do you see what you have left? Another bloodstained hand print The writings on the walls Wed like to stay blind But the rest wont last Time to break a flatline And wakeup from your bed Press your face to the floor Don't leave your posture Don't move a muscle Your eyes see it now don't they? You can't hide The Writings on the wall The Writings on the wall The Writings on the wall The Writings...

Father, hear me I pray it all goes through.this message in my heart spilling out to every one of you. 2017 comes fast in like a rage and every day is just another turn of a page. Are you thinking about the future? What we can become? Were not concerned enough to gathering as one. 2017 and theres still a civil war run by a bunch of suit and ties trying to settle a score. When will the madness end will we just die in sin or will we wake up to the beast within. You say we'll make a policy bring in a reciprocity all along I see us losing our velocity. Believe me! Its coming hard and fast! We got our eyes shut and were headed for a fan! All our efforts to maintain a social acceptance all the while taking our antidepressants! Patching up a hole in a sinking ship yet when push comes to shove the elite will let her rip. Do you see what the problem is? Its not guns in the hand its the focus of the man. One hand over his eye he sees with darkness blind where he thinks he can find some peace in mind. Bro, listen. Its a lie. You gotta let it die.. Leaving behind the ego and pride. **** the sun, **** the sky all thats left is night. Darkness around us to seek the only light. From a glass dome to back home where we tread and roam we toil at ambition while The Spirit moans and groans. Why? What joy is there in being a slave? Were not made to be just toys to be played. Creation! Creator! You say now "wheres the equator" read up on some research you'll answer it later. Get back to basic training im on my knees and praying that the dragons and the demons we get tired of entertaining. Too many puppets! Cut the strings! Learn to deny control and spread your wings! On eagles wings we were meant to soar but you got your hands out to some corporation begging "please sir, may I have some more". Its time to get up, stop begging on the floor. Its time to start questioning what you're living for. ~Resolution~ By Eric Lewis

Driven by fear restlessly motioned A moment's dispair on seas and oceans Ripped at the seams how can this happen? Picking up pieces of hearts broken passion I need you here walking these oceans I need you near to break me from notions I need your grace to cover my failures I need your love teach me perfection I need a savior to cover my struggling In all of the lies A truth in my troubling As I open my eyes I see there just standing The Alpha Omega no beginning or ending Calming the seas with nailscars lifted Jesus, my rescue hope is rekindled Seas and the tempest, stand at attention I thank you Lord Jesus my only redemption
