Paranoid Dragon's.
Maniacal Escape Feb 2021
Listening to a pitch,
A business one. A loud one.
It's all the same,
Assault to the ears.
Money thieves,
Slippery tongues, slippery fingers.
Clawing at opportunity.
But no, not you.

Light and Dark
Maniacal Escape Jul 2020
Light and dark is infinite
Light is breaking the constriction of the minds desperation to chain itself to the dark.
Dark is cocooning the mind further into the chains that shields itself from the light.
Light stares with their prying headlamps.
Dark laughs and suffers and clinks their chains with you.
Light fights til they’re bloodied, barbed chains slipping from their clotted congealed hands.
Dark helps you pull up the chair and tie up a nice rope.
Light lets out a caterwaul when they see what the heavy chains they let slip have caused.
Dark wears their chains, kicks out the chair, and swings lightly in the breeze with you.
Light pulls down the dark chains, heavy with guilt and pain, slings them over their shoulders, and trudges off into the dark.

Doctor Paradise
Maniacal Escape Aug 2023
Doctor know it all
Look at my face and tell me all,
The things you can say I've never saw
In my head, inside you crawl
Probing thing's I stuck on the wall
Let me know when you've seen it all
Maybe we can sit and draw
Up a way to leave this endless sprawl
I'm tired and need a way out.

Hail mary
Maniacal Escape Jul 2020
Hail mary full of disgrace
The lords covered in ****.
Oh, did you not know?
Yeah people smoke that holy ******* now.
I’ve heard the Columbians discovered the stairway to heaven.
Yeah get your baby off old McDonald’s farm
I’m sure we can get you a council house somewhere.

Zombie sunrise
Maniacal Escape Nov 2022
We're still alive, just,
Where do we go from here?
Above the water the salvo in my lungs.
Still alive.
Still thought's in my mind
Still poison through my veins.
Still shallow breathing,
Still shallow heartbeat.
Where do we go from here?
Drowning in the blood pool,
Explosions fill my mind.
Tendrils tell of warning signs
Can we hold them all,
Cuddling soothsaying doom.
Lets live and let go.

Secrets in rain
Maniacal Escape Jul 2020
I see secrets in rain, washes down shore.
Reeds beat wetness and sun, to timber tantrums and bouncing belongings zephyrs waves.
Sunny vistas beach to a dimes chance.
To a stone waiting and at the door a stranger waited
But I do not wander I do not wander I do not waste it it’s the evening
Through the palms of both my seasons dawn. Drowning visibly beneath the waves
That you sent to me all the way gone

Cheery diversion
Maniacal Escape Jul 2020
Prism paradise.
Administer the scimitar serum.
Stray, gleam, candied eyes.
Stay, morbid stars,
Sermon on the shoe horn

Glacial looking glass,
I love what you’ve done with the place.

Overthinking
Maniacal Escape Jul 2020
Round and round I go
Merrily dancing
in circles
To a tormented tune
nobody else can hear
Over and over obsessively, silently,
Invisibly turning, constantly
Dizzily spinning,
endlessly
Searching for the horizon,
A conclusion, a compromise,
to stop the ceaseless wheel.
But the train just goes faster and more passengers board.

Nightmare
Maniacal Escape Jul 2020
Sun soaking up
Dark in your mind
Paralysed in static terror.
Movement in shade
Sprinting through glass
Vision blurs, frozen fear.
Crazed and deranged
Flailing through mist
Demons bring truthful answers.
Flailing deranged, crazed and afraid vision sees frozen glass.
Mind coming too, sheets soaked with fear, your eyes see the sunrise to.

Black dead angel.
Maniacal Escape Jun 2021
He dragged her off by her ankles.
Her roll was done, part played.
Prayer preached.
Her face stained with filth,
As she shaved across the ground.
A song entered his head,
A hymn of nothing
Empty in its divine message.

I want that different man now he's not here.

Maniacal Escape Jan 2021
Billy bear, smiling hard,
Sandwich gone let's go.
Billy bear, smiling hard,
Chair in place, rope up smart.
Billy bear, smiling hard,
Neck in place, kick the chair.
Billy bear, smiling hard,
Straggling madness, noise is made
Billy bear, smiling bestest,
Neck is broken limbs fall limp.
Billy bear, broken sandwich.
Swinging limply
Billy bear.
Sing it sweetly, Billy bear.

Do the Okey pokey
Maniacal Escape Jun 2020
Saviours **** skeletons
Praise the gods as they bless their holy sins
Sing and dance a merry lie
Dig up Jesus, he’s layed unquestioned for far too long.
How is your water and wine my lord
You ******* hypocrite!
See the chaos you’ve wrought you ******* husk of a man
Did washing feet help? Did it? You ******* Jew!
Let’s all go to Sunday mass. Go on, you created it you stigmata laden ****
Flail the holes in in your hands and toes you ginormous *******. Go on, up, down, shake it all about, do the okey pokey and you turn a ****, that’s what the prayers about.

White blank plaster.
Maniacal Escape Aug 2020
I stare at the ceiling,
Searching for meaning,
White indifference, gazing back.

I beg for an answer,
A cure for this cancer,
Secrets in plaster, stay silent.

Bitter goodbye
Maniacal Escape Oct 2022
You call yourself a monster,
But your not.
You creep in the dark,
Hello with the the chocolate.
Sweetness in pantomime,
Make me believe,
Forever a story,
Make me a slave
You called yourself a monster.
But you're not.
I weep for everything I got,
And watch you as you rot.

What a life
Maniacal Escape Jul 2020
Poison reliquary to dammed Cardboard hearts
Seeing in black walk to the shade
Crimson hands cake an obsidian bible
But if you need me I’ll be there
The priest protests
Less fire more drowning
in water
Can you smell the **** of god?
Accept his unnatural communion.
Eat the paper skin
And drink the cheap corner shop wine
What a life. What a god.

Tantalising torture

Laid cosy with you
In our Judas cradle

Stuck here suspended

Holding my hands as you bled my heart empty.

The bitter end
Maniacal Escape Jul 2023
Spit out your pride,
Force out your tears
Your feelings feed only me.
Hang out your friends
Lay down your family
You know you belong to me.
I'll hang myself dry
In a storm of vitriolic judgement.
Come now with me
Down to the basement
The dust bowl
The beggars urn
The end.

Q and A
Maniacal Escape Jul 2020
Why do the pillars of faith despise each other?
Why do they make skin a colour?
Why does everyone pray to ignorant deities?
Why does the book of holy peace preach wars of holy hatred?
Gold, replied religion.

Want.
Maniacal Escape Oct 2023
To be loved
To be wanted and held,
Never forgotten.

To know this.
To bathe in vitriol.
To know it is all you.

To want to be clean.
To want to care.
To want to want.

The hippo in the lake
Maniacal Escape Jan 2021
He thrashed violently at the crowd.
He didn't know what they were saying
Only that they were yelling
And he hated being yelled at.
He liked his mud
He liked his stink
And he did not like an audience.

Jesus loves you very much
Maniacal Escape Jun 2020
Caustic sunrise cries
Vanilla tears sliding
Through recreations blessing.
Cleavers fountain spilling jovial venom
Sprinkles of **** onto children’s tongues
Lap and lick and suckle
Smile as you die and be thankful
Because jesus love you very much.

Kneel and accept
Maniacal Escape Jun 2020
Causality's crippling clutch grips. Cleaving at sanity. Drown in a world of vanilla but savour the flavour. Two by four eyes see all soaking you in benevolent gaze.
Marvel at the unhinged for they know the cost of truth.
Feed them toxic nutrition and beckon them forwards. They must embrace the whim of conformity.
Take sips child, drink too much and you’ll be too awake.
Tomatoes on unicorns and madness in prayer. Question the judge’s hammer
Are you ok?
Too much uncertainty these days. May the lord guide you in prayer.
Accept the communion of calamity
Drink the blood of betrayal.
Join the brotherhood of bedlam and behave accordingly.
Slice at your face and contort your joints please.
And for the love of god please be a good person.

Maniacal Escape Jun 2020
Join hands, sing praise to the false god
Donate your money to a bottomless bowl
And laugh when the puppet tells his jokes
Our father who art in riches
Hallowed be thy gold
Keep your poems and hymns of gore
A little ditty won’t keep Satan away

Ladies and gentlemen. Him.
Maniacal Escape Jul 2023
We've been floating through indifference
The sting so sour it hurts my eyes.
Cradled in safety, the latch bent on your smile.
Two arms around us, a warmth know only lies
A raft sinking slowly, a promise from your reprise.
Tomorrow a dream, next week a fantasy.
The lion, the Neverland the Ocean of myths.
Our untold fable,
Our panorama secret

Our salt will stain the sky
As we pray everything's alright
We huddle as the meteors crash by.

Hold hands into the night,
A star! is all we cry,

Calamity crashes
Salvation in flames
As we fade into the night.

Breakfast served may as well *****.

Upon crimson tides.
Maniacal Escape Aug 2023
Once more into the deep red sea,
Warm and fresh,
Terrifying and deep.

Splatter about
A dog; first time, thrown in.

The blue fights to be free
It grips at the lungs.
Strangling to see...

Drop down the anchor,
A harbour draws near.
A light in the fog
Let it float in.

Daddy
Maniacal Escape Jul 2020
Its weekend again
Time to go see daddy again.
I love daddy
And he loves me to.

Daddy smells of **** and whiskey
Daddy smells nice
I love daddy
and he loves me to.

Daddy gets that funny look in his eye
He wants to play a fun game
I love daddy
and he loves me to.

I'm really good at this game
I always win
I love daddy
and he loves me to.

I've nearly won
he tells me
I love daddy
and he loves me to.

Fireworks of white pleasure,
A stain on a juvenile tongue.
daddy sighed ,
his silky growl sweetened the salt.
I know tomorrow will be a good day now.
Maybe we'll go to the beach?
Because I love daddy
and he loves me to.

Rocks and fishes, toes in the pond.
Tad poles, nibble toes, children alone.
Tip tap tip toe, father the frog.
