This itch is a burn underneath the nails of my toes Crawling through the crevices of my skin like a virus Toes, feet, ankles, legs to my knees I cannot relive this itch with a scratch it’s a ***** The sickness has consumed my body to the whole of my neck; Choking me, this Amour Whom has left me in a puddle of oil on the asphalt Light a match For the only relief I can manage is a heavier burn In flames I plummet Landing perfectly at the bottom again Walking uphill I resume

Scars
The song never dies He can silence your laughter, make still your movement And extinguish the physical Air may fade until only a beat is left in your conscious mind Lyrics taken from your lungs But the song plays It plays behind shut eyes Triumphant sound the deaf can hear Shaken from the depths of your memory by a turbulent bed The song never dies

Burning Melodies
Love is why I live Love is for what i'll die Love is why I sleep and wake, what I give and take And cry Love is what I breath Love is all I need Love is why i'm trudging on, forgiving wrong And greed Love is why I write, for Love is cold as ice, though Love can warm my heart, and so Love would tear apart Love is high and low Love is bright and doe Love is truth and lie Love is a metal lullaby

Metal Lullaby
There once was a plain old greedy degenerate Who fancied himself some sort of profit Most of the town's folk even bought it Some say he lost it We must laugh together at the irony we see Someone degenerate as he Redesigning our humanity First conceptual sold as a divine product ******* ecstasy… I won't support the scandal to fund the living Dead council The Swine Thought to unwind and rewind in the way they felt fine Thus genetically designed a millennia of succession of clergy kings And unleash them to father all mankind to be Hear me when I say I do not feel okay When malice men metal with God's work Got a hell of a good pitch though I mean you really make that **** looked **** no? A well-designed slaughterhouse may have its livestock walking into spirals right to the mouth of the grinder Scientifically each breed more perfect than the next As I deflect Do my very best To warn just in case you could respect Liberty and freedom Or obey to choose to sleep comfortably Happy sheep healthy cut of meat Splash, shear and then repeat I love you So much Almost as much as I love myself Hope you can learn how to be alone with just yourself all by yourself and be present with yourself Love

How To Farm Sheep
I see blood in their hands Foolish thinking their sanitizers can mask the sin Every moment of this life is written in our flesh Written in ink Written in truth And ones flesh can be read Read like the mountains and trees I see blood in their hands

Tree Rings
Rough wind tears through the dark Fluorescent light shining within the dust I follow it Hoping to be led to the city For the other way is infallible dissolution An angry ocean The wind has taken my sight And any step could be the last plank of this decrepit pier The storm She is here for me and I now realize, this is a fight for life The sudden glow and heavenly roar shows her intent She wishes to drive me into the treacherous sea to be chewed and swallowed Perhaps discovered by a lobster who would surely laugh at my demise For he is malevolent of human life

Lobster Fishing
I think that I am thick Choosing a state of contentment In a world of chaos Chin high, eyes dry I think that I am thick I think that I am transparent Knowing more of pain than of comfort In a smog of darkness yearning for light Depriving eyes of vital moisture I think that I am transparent Learning of God Through love and unity In friendship and fellowship Faith in wise words and the eyes of the enlightened Learning of God Now understanding God Through the death of my father In the depths of my mother's sadness Sadistic peers and malevolent neighbors Now understanding God I thought that to be poised was to appear stable I thought that to have tenacity I must seem strong Forbearing my feelings you are unable But for keeping them to myself I was wrong Crying is better

Crying Is Better
Online true heart's desires known Offline true hearts desires shown Engine roaring, silent phone Driven through the Ether Zone The Ether, neither above nor below But here, where the roots of our spirit grow See the fire has a constant glow Feel the water at a steady flow In and out as the undertow Surrender breath to this will, let go Returned to body with the new peaceful slow Mind at ease without the need to know
