Barely lit Is where I sit It's cold and dark On these streets Moonlit I'll mark the way On your midnight trip Will I be condemned To never move a muscle? Tired, ceaseless streets And the every-mans struggle Sad morose limbs Will always rustle The light can shine But never for Maledicted shadows Heavy complacent steps Fall around my seat Only to coppulate Your hopes are Within reach I've guided those before you Yet phleygas is not my name Pray the next beacon before you In hopeful orderly disdain Will grant you more than my name Torch in hand held high For years and elements corrode I will still be here next time When you need to find your way home

Past, Present, and Always
Standing in a place man-made I am in the dark Even where the light can't pervade Staring at machines strength And the collective thought Funneled into their make So i reflect Into my time My thought My home And the path I direct Do the tools made Understand the machines they make? They are cold Unforgiving and strong Leaving no room for emotional freedom But do I need it?

Progress by Machine
She is and insult, A taste that never graced Refused to take a pace She listens to her voice And sees no disgust Forget her face She is nothing to me anymore Nothing is more Right now she is nothing Nothing is right **** your thoughts Their wrong **** your ideas They have no place **** your voice It doesn't know your lies Your fake and impulsive You know nothing of control Holding on to thought You forget your life I want to forget you exist

Forget
A wish upon the clock Is the martyr of hope Change is an action Most end with no If only I could hold on One more day, in the life Of those who can’t die Another day awake The whispers on my chest Are now the voices in my head Lipstick stains on the mirror Mock a hearts vanity To return to a shape Never known to the mind Will the blind find light Before wrong becomes right And I can find my home Among the dead and broken My heart will become whole Among the anger and spite My decisions become simple Seal your fate and grab my hand If only it wasn't my hand I could pull myself out And forget the rain

In my heart
I am just another broken dream In the end I didn't mean anything I am only here to hold you Just for one more night If simple was wrong Then I would be right A stain upon a dream Is as vivid as it might seem A crippling urge Upon a curious scene Both live and die Within me

This time around
Fragments of a broken mind Some call it love I call it time See the end of the line As you whisper mine Cries of a muted hand That failed to take a stand I'm not what I am I am what I'm not Will it be enough Never will you know Will it be a callous feat To be something I can't see Broken upon the glass And buried within the sand Protruding is my hand And nothing more
