English Once prolific, now very lazy writer, trying to get my mojo back after a long drought..
Once again the mainstream media manipulati pulls the wool over the eyes of the mind-muddled masses Too busy getting drunk on fear and distractions to hear the distant laughter and see the smirk of satisfaction

crime scene
Hey can you see me waving? That small white flag flapping weakly in the wind that's me, that is A strangled cry in a cacophony of human misery and ecstasy but this is not a distress signal but an admission of defeat Life, you've got me beat I'm unsteady on my feet and ready to fall into an endless sleep someone come and pluck me out of this hated consciousness I'm ready to accept That I'm nothing and never have been anything other than a useless peice of meat

you lie each time you look at me and inside my pride wants to kick the **** out of me for allowing myself to be so pathetic to believe that anyone could ever give me something real in this ever shifting world how can I ever expect to find something I can grip something worth holding on to something unbreakable and true I thought it was you I thought it was them See the pattern emerging againandagain It should've been me but I'm empty you see I'm all out of feelings So just let me be

Time
those were the days those halcyon days all sepia tinted under weird pink haze we smiled at the camera manufacturing lies preserving the moment with unblinking eyes life becomes magnified under a lens but like a hipstamatic it's all just pretense just give me the blurs and the eyes half closed cause the truth starts there not in the fake wooden pose

Nostalgia's overrated
What the f**k's happening? I'm 18 again, and nothing has changed I'm in my room again, Thinking of a family Who've forgotten my name. Cut out of the frame, I wish someone would explain You all look so guilty Yet I still feel to blame. Thought I was healed, That I'd bled it all out, Now I just want to scream But I can't find my mouth. Time is no healer It only helps dull the pain, Though the pain is no less When it flares up again. Have you come bearing answers Or some salt for my wounds? Either way, there's no hope of Rebuilding these ruins. I'm just picking up the peices A bit at a time, Building a wall To keep you out of my mind.

Thanks for the memories
i stare at photographs until my eyes melt down my cheeks i sit like this for hours too overcome to sleep it's like watching the dead rise up and walk all over me except they're so full of life and it's me who's the zombie thought i'd exorcised my demons but they're back again dancing around me in circles trying to get back in mocking me with glimpses of what might have been my childhood memories are just a faded dream

the walking dead
when you're five years old snow is a dream come true better than icecream on a hot day it's a laugh a minute but when you're a grown up with places to be and people to see it's like an ice cube down your collar when you're least expecting it

all I need is a jump start to get this engine roaring check the tread on these tired old tyres so I can get this show a-rolling defibrillate my heart awaken my sleeping senses always so slow to start but I know I can jump those fences
