Somewhere in the cacophony of moments That flash of imagination lost to white noise The slow bleed of nights and days stains pristine dreams The rush of brilliance grays Surrendered to the litany of decay Songs unsung caught in the back of my throat Strangled words Toxic on my tongue Hand over mouth and shackle my mind Truth in the mirror that renders me blind Little thoughts they scurry Furtive in the failing light of hope against all hope Reality reigns dragging chains She etches her name on my scarred heart Until death parts us... I am the eulogy of dreams I've never done this kind of thing before Desecrate this grave We can save her.... Resurrect the desperation Dismiss this ignorance as bliss The fatalist in me screams Some things are better left buried Dreams and lullabies lie skeletized Revived as nightmares Will **** the marrow from a broken soul Already I scatter Ash and shadows Requiem for life unbreathed And you wait for me To break the ground And exhume the muse Again....

Never Done This Before
Somewhere in the cacophony of moments That flash of imagination lost to white noise The slow bleed of nights and days stains pristine dreams The rush of brilliance grays Surrendered to the litany of decay Songs unsung caught in the back of my throat Strangled words Toxic on my tongue Hand over mouth and shackle my mind Truth in the mirror that renders me blind Little thoughts they scurry Furtive in the failing light of hope against all hope Reality reigns dragging chains She etches her name on my scarred heart Until death parts us... I am the eulogy of dreams I've never done this kind of thing before Desecrate this grave We can save her.... Resurrect the desperation Dismiss this ignorance as bliss The fatalist in me screams Some things are better left buried Dreams and lullabies lie skeletized Revived as nightmares Will **** the marrow from a broken soul Already I scatter Ash and shadows Requiem for life unbreathed And you wait for me To break the ground And exhume the muse Again....
