its a cozy little chaos
I am the eye in the storm
a stranger in a strange land
embraced by a mournful trance
though beyond this cloud lies no boundary
gently rocking in heavens wake
destined to roam this solitary state

known to myself as the eternal pariah
who found death behind the masks of many
animated figures dance around in pretty shackles
indulge in fruitless conversation to every last breath
embedded by such relentless contradiction
and I silently swell in frustration as the crowds cheer

steal away my attention
again and again
so terribly haunted by your glory
always deprived of simple pleasures

and I'm always standing still
always in hibernation
hidden away from myself

oh how blindly I’ve spun this web

I dream to orchestrate a new serenade
leave behind the masquerade
i got so many ******* things to say
but nothing anyone wants to listen to
you just want to turn away from the dark
pretend im not here
and run off to those fake pretty lights

you go with the rest of them
stuff your fat ******* face
with the **** your told to consume

maybe my negative face will find a place
and the world falls silent behind my incessant screaming
it couldn't be more wrong and ****** up
why don't you ******* see????

perhaps I knew a place far beyond this
I know how much better life could be
and thats why I hate it so much right now
could i be just like you?
here goes another day
heads spinning with a rock in my stomach
bearing my crosses, counting my loses
I’ll never be what I want to be
I'll never see what I want to see in me
and I don't care
no I don't care

my body disregards feeling, there's something reeling in me
through the wilderness of sorrow, that's where I'll go
this life is dull and I’m bleeding through the cracks in my soul
but my wounds don’t show to these strangers, they don’t know

we pretend we’re one and the same
but we’re as separate as stars
I like to think that we are
I am No where
I am No thing
.
Devoid of the promise
To let my heart sing
But the storm
She gathers so patient within
Cast into the sea
. . .
And so I see
Waves of illusion , a fleet of sin
All that remains of a God I miss
I know the welcoming darkness
At the edge of the abyss
Pandemonium seeps, swallows, and creeps like a crawling
Virus barreling havoc far beneath the innermost psyche
Dispatch the strike, angels discern demons alike, appalling

The flight of sparrow's circum to children below
Consumed within a thoughtless crow
All bold to make haste on an hour's race

The final shade seeps under all frontiers
A foe abandoned in fear
Passing tides in the dead of night

Shown troubled to the world's delight
Such lonesome calls to a stranger
Embark on this journey, my ranger

A girl lays by her bedside staring out across the room to window to the world. She is transfixed within herself, her soul scattered, and her heart isolated. The last tear drop slides off her still lips as she clenches her eyes shut.
She attempts to fall into sleep in hope her dreams carry her away from cruel shadows.
She is awoken by a continues thump, her toes numb and her cheeks stale from tears.
Daylight streams in trough the rugged curtains. She is briefly blinded and then stunned by an overwhelming sensation. As the hazy world around her is brought back into focus, she looks down and finds what appears to be the word "LOVE" written on the palm of her left hand. Charged with a burning passion, she jolts up and finds her footing. Through the garden, she is lost in herself. Gently, her fragile finger tips brush against ancient stone figures entwined with plantation of humble vine and flowers. She dances with an electric essence. Free from the pressures of a once unfaithful world, she has discovered a blissful universe within herself. A hazy figure reveals himself from the shadows. A servant to a well deserved cause. He steps with ease towards her, his kind eyes in pursuit of beauty. A sense of security fixes itself within the girl, she is helpless to herself.
The two converge hand in hand as they illuminate, then devolve into the suns rays.

She's got lips like spice
Eyes rolling like dice
We find common ground
From the heavens on down

Her dance strikes a fire
An essence that will not tire

Shes got a laugh so nimble
That stirs away sickness
Kissing the world with a love shy
But not simple

Starstruck, I stay rivet on her
Reluctant to wind her hand within my own
Holding firm, drifting across the sea I've grown
