Madness grabs hold of me
Fog drifts through my ear
Nothing can wake me
Dead on my feet

There must be a real reason
No suffering without cause
Frustrates me to wonder
Can't cut the veil

Maybe I was a murderer
My soul feels so aged
Mischief might follow it
Sins of my heart

Sleeping is like burning
Waking brings drowning
Sweet rest must hide
In somebody's bed

Every Night is Fear

Every night comes panic
My Death finds me
Early in sleep

Rest is not the word
My thoughts are fire
My soul is dry

I see my oppressors
A face in my mind
Mercilessly clear

A different world lives
I can't save them
Victims of fear

The specters hang cold
I'm slow and cold
Daytime is weary

I can feel the sadness
Each me dies alone
How can that be

I hope they aren't real
The ****** they find
Punishments unjust

I daily dose and overdose
Freedom from sleep
Close to peaceful

Pleasant Realization

I thought I was a fish
Turns out I'm the river
Go find a shark baby
Cause I'm gonna flow
Rivers don't breed

Every Man has a Type

It's always the same
The same friends surround me
The same books fill my shelves
I meander down the same streets
I drift towards the same women
It's always a brunette
Probably brown eyes, but maybe green
Soft-heart-ed but with a sharp tongue
Some obsession that puts me second
Probably the same favorite food
If I'm not programmed,
I'm **** unlucky

Vent at Midnight

There's a sing-song voice
Ringing in my ear
And an atomic bomb
Bringing you here
I won't ever find
The secret to my life
As long as I run
And hide from the knife
I think of you often
With flowers in your hair
It may seem absurd
But I can't leave this chair

Strength is not Machismo

I have seen tears
Big, fat, watery dribbles
Flowing like summer rain
Down the rough, bearded cheeks
Of the strongest men
Who I ever have known
I stopped crying
When I stopped caring
Maybe I'm stronger
More likely
Just cynical

Soul Mate

Soul Mate
It sounds pretentious
I have both halves
Of the soul destined
To reside in me
I don't need
Any leftovers
What can that mean?
I don't know yet.
