I wish I could shoot lasers from my mouth A righteous, indomitable blast of human force Directly from my most powerful weapon The blast would be undeniable, and impossible to miss A man made super nova, siphoned into a concentrated blast Powered entirely by my lungs and my heart The earth would be covered in scars, miles long Masked with ocean, or forest In mother earths nature, concealing what has hurt her My voice would be a siren of dirge and doom A beacon through which the pain of many could flow Bringing physical form to the unquantifiable I wish you could see how loud I'd scream In defiance of time, trickster god, and cruel cruel fate Air would melt, and rock would simply burn As the giant incinerating laser of revenge burst forth from me Green and bright as lightning The laser would send a signal Hundreds of miles high, letting the entire world know we've lost you So that all eyes could turn skyward and everyone could tell That a voice cries out against what hes witnessed I wish I had that laser, and I wish my fury could be made manifest that way I could speak my rage into the very crust of the earth So that no blasphemy of man, or amalgam of the void Could ever compare to how very much I will miss you If you have to go, then go. Get out and never come back. Return yourself to the curse of time, I get it, believe me, I get it But Ill never let you be forgotten Any chance I get I'll speak your name So who and what you...were Will reverberate infinitely And the wealth you granted us by knowing you Can never be ill spent

Mouth of Revenge
I wish I could shoot lasers from my mouth A righteous, indomitable blast of human force Directly from my most powerful weapon The blast would be undeniable, and impossible to miss A man made super nova, siphoned into a concentrated blast Powered entirely by my lungs and my heart The earth would be covered in scars, miles long Masked with ocean, or forest In mother earths nature, concealing what has hurt her My voice would be a siren of dirge and doom A beacon through which the pain of many could flow Bringing physical form to the unquantifiable I wish you could see how loud I'd scream In defiance of time, trickster god, and cruel cruel fate Air would melt, and rock would simply burn As the giant incinerating laser of revenge burst forth from me Green and bright as lightning The laser would send a signal Hundreds of miles high, letting the entire world know we've lost you So that all eyes could turn skyward and everyone could tell That a voice cries out against what hes witnessed I wish I had that laser, and I wish my fury could be made manifest that way I could speak my rage into the very crust of the earth So that no blasphemy of man, or amalgam of the void Could ever compare to how very much I will miss you If you have to go, then go. Get out and never come back. Return yourself to the curse of time, I get it, believe me, I get it But Ill never let you be forgotten Any chance I get I'll speak your name So who and what you...were Will reverberate infinitely And the wealth you granted us by knowing you Can never be ill spent
2015 A friend of mine killed himself. Very unexpectedly. My first reaction was being angry. And for a couple hours I just yelled. And after my episode of processing a sudden, very tragic moment in my life, I wanted to be able to shoot a giant laser out of my mouth.
