How I watch you tear in two
Red stained, the white and  blue
To watch the sufferers nightmares true
This is all because of you
Because you did not research facts
Over watching news
Because your tv was your god
Information, cyanide, your food
You stood there taking pictures
Of chaos all around you
And now your screen is flashing red
You're wondering "what do I do"
Because you never learned to fight
And take back what belongs to you
Because you built these heavy walls
Partial to their bricks
I watch the prisoners defend
The contamints that make them sick
America, her dress is torn
A ******* so used and worn
And we just stand and watch her burn
God save this Red, White and Blue
God save Her, Red stained, White and Blue.

I will close my eyes
Perspectives will tell
A perfect obscenity
Im perfectly numb
You think its simple
I bleed thoughts like rivers
And exhale fears
Turn me to understanding
That I accept why
That I put my fists down
And stop punching walls
Assure me you have not gone
Surround me in my uncertainty
Read me like a book
Then rewrite my pages
Tear our my ending
Finish the beginning
I pray you hear me
And cut the ties that fit my bind
I don't want to stop
I just want to rest awhile
I just want to rest..

Life Death Hope Loss
A canvas of happiness and sorrow
The Aesthetic of existing
Beauty in the painting
Admiring the painter
Every stroke from birth to final light
We wake the morning
We die to the night
Wherever we go
The static plays a melody
The sound of increasing pretense
As the serpents die of their own poison
Drink from their own goblets
The play is over and the curtains close
Thank you for coming
We hope you enjoyed the show
The Aesthetic

Bite my lips untill they bleed
Because I don't want to say a word
Pass the moment like a frayed lie
As we sit here staring into the abyss
Your eyes like glass and sand
Telling me the time is running out
Shut up, Don't you speak
I know you want to go away
And fade like wispy mentions
But tonight will last as long as your gaze
And I feel you cold like ice
Again a dead end turn around
Shes burying her own hatchet
Shes burying evidence of traitors
I feel cold and you have no warmth
So the night dies slowly with my hopes
And hope dies with your last words
Its over, ive lost my grasp on you
I've lost it because I gave it all to you

I don't need direction
I don't need your guidence
You sound like everything I hate
Theres nothing in your "hallowed" shell
Theres nothing you have to give
When i've already cursed the numbers
The time has already come
You missed it
You were never there
When you were it hurt
When you were it tore me open
I've bled out all my empathy
Im not looking for you to rescue me
When you can't even lift your wings
From the heavieness of your parades
Don't you think it's getting late?
Don't you think it's time you go home?
Walk away like you fade in the wind
Because I don't have memory of us
I don't recognize you
I guess I'm just staring into the face
Of a Ghostly past
A Ghost of my past

100 prayers and breathing spells
as I lay awake at my breaking point
praying will the shadows go away?
3:00 hits again and my eyes wide open
Another night of tears how i could choke
On the disbelief like a death bed
Pool of sweat as I breathe slowly
The song of angels so distant in her voice
As I bury my thoughts in the pillows again
Sanity bleeds i need sleep
But it never brings me rest
Just a piece of mind in the shards of glass
Slamming my fist into the reflection of myself
Why can't I recognize this man?
Why can't I comprehend his eyes?
The pressure feeds on me
As I feed upon the seeds of its birth
Sometimes I wonder
Did I make a mistake?
Did I cut the cord too short?
And now the prayers I breathe
Breathe heavy
The night is fading to light again
Another sleepless night
And another question without answer
Thank God it's over
Untill the nightmares tomorrow
Another 100 prayers and breathing spells
Another 100 prayers and breathing spells

Dragged in by chains
You won't leave alone tonight
With everything you've said
Every crime commited
Here is a prison
Made of everything you know
Throw away the key
Because You won't see the day
Again

All fear and shame
They knew my name
I was in ******* to every broken sin
All fear and shame
They knew my name
I was in ******* to every sin

And here I was lost
Bound to my cell
Past was calling
Burdened from hell
You took my place
Where nailed wrists bled
And the thorns that pierced
Where you died and bled
Taking my place

Breathing softly
As the casket closed
And iron maiden
To close me into binds
No escape
No closure
No escaping the exposure of this sting
Untill you came
And took the death belonging to me

And here I was lost
Bound to my cell
Past was calling
Burdened from hell
You took my place
Where nailed wrists bled
And the thorns that pierced
Where you died and bled
Taking my place

And here I was lost
Bound to my cell
Past was calling
Burdened from hell
You took my place
Where nailed wrists bled
And the thorns that pierced
Where you died and bled
Taking my place

Take this life and all its pain
Blessed Are you Slain
Blessed Is The Slain
Blessed, beloved return again
2 Corinthians 5:21
