Another waste of space
Another knot
Another fake face
A smile beginning to rot
Another reflection
On a cracked and dusty mirror
Another unlearned lesson
Through trail and error

Another grain of sand
Swallowed by the sea
Another wilting ****
Bowing to a tree
Another planted seed
That will never be

Another worm
Devoured by a bird
Another melody
To never be heard
Another gem
Vehemently deterred

Maybe useless flesh
Always dragged you down
Emotional scars in form of a frown

Dig in deeper
Rip out your soul
Dig in deeper
Without control

Shed your skin
Look within
Find your grin
Leon Lapin May 2015
Listen to the silence
Gaze into the darkness
Entrust your body to your mind
Let go of the earth
Let your soul unwind
Floating into space
Forget this dreadful place
Become one with the stars
Become one with who you are

The disconnection exception expired
Self-deception conception retired
What’s dead within your head
Will only haunt you while you sleep
Lay it to rest
And give it your best
Stop wasting this life

I'm not real
You're only looking at a reflection
Staring up at you from the mud beneath your feet
I am stained by filth
I am something you can never clean
Rip
Leon Lapin Oct 2016
Rip
Living in the shadows of the past
Watered down, added color
A mirage of what once was

Will it drive me insane
Before I escape this pain

Take it all away
Lock it up
Keep it safe

Until it rips me open again

...until it rips me open agan

Gawking over the shoulder of a stranger
But can you see through their eyes?
As they roll back to gaze through the sickness of their mind


What line does reality define?
What do lies whisper to the seekers of the truth?

We cannot say we are not alone
Yet we stand here side by side

Chosen by destiny, chasers of dreams
Condemned to the shadows
By the men who froze the sun

Is our future merely an illusion
Or are we drowned by self doubt
Leon Lapin Sep 2014
Confessions on the tip of my tongue
Words of truth, dismissed and swallowed
To sit in my stomach, and rotten my core
Paralyzed, I'm left to lie in my cell
Sickened and bloated by my own deceit
I ponder the cause and effect of this commodious defect
This isn't about affection
It's about the reflection
Venomous ardency
I am a prisoner of myself

I've walked for centuries
On a broken road
I've walked for centuries
With nowhere to go

Lost in time
Left behind
Nothing feels like home

Reaching for the skies
I never leave the ground
Screaming for my life
It never makes a sound

Searching for all the pieces
I'm never gonna find
I can't escape this lack of fate
I'm running out of time

Fade away
There's no escape
When did i die?

A corpse on this empty street
Walking toward the fire
An empty soul, a black hole
Nothing left to desire

I walk this road for centuries
There's nowhere else to go
I walk this road for centuries
It's my only home

You can't play the villain and the victim in the same play
Eventually someone will notice and the illusion will crumble.

You created a monster
The night you stiched my bleeding wounds
You gave me all I could ever desire, hope, or dream to possess

Shyly I sipped this ***** water
From your calloused hands
And as I slowly grew
I towered over you
And your jealousy began

I built you this pedestal
From which you bravely stand

It's time now
To tear it down
And throw you in the sinking sand

You attained your dominance as a gift
Wrapped in the rotting flesh of my withered heart
But I used you up
And drank you dry
And now we must depart

Now I walk above the ground
Where I buried your bones
As we say goodbye
I now rise
To claim your blood stained thrown

— The End —
