Untruth churns in depths of elden castings
Falsehood turns the pacings, everlasting
Duplicity in everything avasting

Misinformation station
Take a ticket, wait, debate,
Assail, avail in love of liar's nation

Circuitous circumvention
Of mindful morsels of intention
Swept beneath the rug
No worth be mentioned

As suffering and death explain
The qualms and qualities
Of life beget to life in vain
Entrenched in their dualities

Thine incision thought deranged
Transcribed in abnormality
The pointed lance, in hands estranged
Whence masking actuality

So stir the *** of melting
For it may cool and thence congeal
It seems we're strung about and welting
Punished in penchant to feel

Lunatic Apostate

Formless, hidden flagrance
Bastardizations
Subconscious invasions
Derealization

Murderous mindless mental gobbledygook
Aloof, to bide inside and take a look
Spurious flourish in acrid abhorrence

Tis the demon
Which lies within
That tells me lies
And promotes sin

Trials of toilsome interims
Stagnate and rot, in mine, chagrin

Ineffectual ****** aggravations
Sordid, torrid want, ablation
Putrescence of evanescence

Sorrowful warbles in gargling marbles
Choking on hope,
extinguishing flames of my name and making

Prodding the prongs of the timeless song
Rending and rendering nought to which I belong

Seeing sights, in blindness bind,
simulations of kindness, in emptiest minds

I've seen it screaming, deadened in the dark
It doth implore me, say'n only "Hark!"

Tell me truly, what unruly things of which you speak
Portent futures ever looming, bleak
Unspeakable things

I cannot be
I will not be but me
I am not apostate
To lunacy

Flowing Water

He's cold and hard like ice.
That's what his energy is like.

I will be flowing water.
I will be warm water.

I will be compassion and gratitude.
I will be welcoming,
and enveloping,
and encompassing,
and strong.

I will follow currents of truth,
and become bigger
than he ever could as an iceberg.

I will show him that strength
can be found in vulnerability,
and maybe one day, he will melt.

Doormat

I couldn’t be lower
but at least someone understands you
I couldn’t be flatter
But at least someone supports you

Why pick me up off the floor?
That’s where I belong
Just leave me at the door
Someone to kick your dirt upon

I could use a place to hide
Somewhere safe, to stay inside
But I’m always left to wait on you
And clean your ***** little shoes

I Play Rage Games

I'm addicted to the punishment
I just keep coming back
I've got the motive
I can own it
Til I conquer what I lack

It's like a high when I get by
And I'm a better fit for more
Cause I'm awaiting all the pain
And all the suffering in store

It's just a fact of life
You've gotta go through strife
So why not take the edged knife
Put in your mouth
And take a massive ******* bite

Coffee for breakfast

Coffee for breakfast
And a knot in my stomach
That riles up the tension
Bloodflow, bloodflow, bloodflow
I have work to do

Love of Wind

My heart swells sometimes in solitude
And I take to the air outside my room
Stretch my fingers, let my life energy course to the tips
As I beckon the wind

It takes
but a moment
As I wrap my head around the clouds
Blanket my mind over the atmosphere
I must pull its whole, for the breeze to appear

But it always heeds to my beck and call
Always cools and soothes my aching, raging head
Which sets aflame in rife emotion

Sometimes I think it cruel to cast them out
These emotions
I know not where they go, when I'm through with them

But I know the wind loves me
As it loves all those unwanted things
Cruelly cast upon the breeze
