Check that out! After a slight hiatus, I've returned, baring new works!
Hope you read them. Hope you like them. Hope you keep coming back for more.
Rock on, peace and love, truth and unity, all that good stuff... or something to that extent anyway... xp
The Puppet Reanimated
I’m drowning in laughter
Like a lamb meant for slaughter
Who doesn’t even know
That he’s dead already
So I live in the moment
And I live for the torment
But I’ve finally realized
That I’ll never be free
I am the puppet, cut the strings, reanimated
I am the drowning melody, asphyxiated
In the life I chose and lead
There is only one guarantee
There will be no redemption
From the truth, learned too late
I’m sick of pretending
That nothing is happening
When the reality is
Long ago, I gave in
Weave a noose of puppet strings and desecrate me
Break the chains, remove the pins, and erase me
I am your puppet, cut these strings, reanimate me
This melody you never sing, asphyxiate me
Long Walks And Gravestones
Take a long walk through the graveyard
Give peaceful rest to those long dead
All those poor souls who died in vain
The ground still soft where blood ran red
Take a long walk through the graveyard
Read all the aged and crumbling stones
The blades of time have rent their bodies
Once flesh and blood, now dirt and bones
Take a long walk through the graveyard
And sit beneath the lynching tree
You’re never alone when you come here
Or sit a while and talk with me
Take a long walk through the graveyard
Through that lonely burial ground
The stones are aged and worn with time
And never again meant to be found
Take a long walk through the graveyard
Under grey and mournful skies
Find the loved one, now long gone
And give to them one last goodbye
The Frailty of Flesh and Bone
Again I have been proven wrong
When I dreamt to live forever
That we might live, and then grow old
And in the twilight, die together
To once have loved and then to lose
While searching for eternity
I lost it all in my search for hope
And love, that enigmatic entity
While you wait for it to get here
You’ll learn your heart never knows best
And now you’ll be forever waiting
Because forever never seems to last
War is the age of our tomorrow
And the violence grows within our time
Ride off and fight the losing battle
The fight to take back what is mine
That stolen lump of flesh and blood
Which, life to you, it does impart
Just give it back and let me fall
Just give me back my broken heart
Our lives are so very fragile
There’s frailty in flesh and bone
And the thing that’s frailer still
The living, breathing human soul
Perhaps you’ll find it’s truly better
To have never loved at all
Or you could just break yourself again
One last slip deems one last fall
The love that you feel for her now
As blind as a shattered glass eye
That love now forms a cross of thorns
And nails that bind you, crucified
Freefall Through Dreamland
The candle’s flickering
Light comes trickling
Shadows dancing
On the floor
She’s waiting by the phone
Scared and so alone
But it’s too late
To save her (from herself)
Can you remember the day after
The dream you had the night before?
Walking through the dead of night
Dancing in the city lights
I wonder what keeps me around
Because there’s nothing here
Truth is the taste of bitter wine
Thoughts are twisted in the vines
Can you tell me what this love is?
Because I feel I’ve lost my mind
Through every dreamscape I’m free-falling
Lost in that world of night
And I’m having bad ideas that
Feel so ******** right
So right
Truth is the taste of bitter wine
So feed yourself on sweeter lies
Can you remember the day after
The dream you had the night before?
I'll Find Her Someday, But It Won't Be You
The truth is I don't need you
And sure as hell don't want to be you
I'd kill myself before I killed another
In the way that you killed me
Through all the times you toyed with me
I did my best and tried to be
Your knight, your lover, everything
To try and love you one more time
Would be the curtain call for me
This night could never be sweeter
My broken heart says I don't need her
But now my heart is burning
With this artificial yearning
For soft and gentle motions
In and out with notions
But not with you, no not again
It's time I brought this to an end
I'm giving up on you today
And maybe then I'll finally find
The one to call my everything
Cross of Flies
Through your hate and heartfelt lies
To give it all; a wasted sacrifice
And myself I have crucified
On this hateful cross of flies
We all hope to end this game
Have some fun and die in vein
In a night so full of pain
Your memory forgotten in passing rain
Bodies dance and skeletons sing
Angels fall and burn their wings
Bells of death knoll and ring
And still you don't know anything
Is there a world for you and me?
Not in this life, it would seem
Now you must realize something
All of this was make-believe
On that night you left alone
On that night a life you stole
Ripped my heart from flesh and bone
And replaced it with a heart of stone
Through my hate and all my lies
I'll find myself a lonely paradise
No chance or reason to go on high
No one but me will live this life
Children cry and mothers scream
This world is warping at the seams
Nothing in this hell is real
All in the wake of a tortured dream
Unleash Words
Fly upon your black wings
And look for better days
Don't allow your thoughts
to encage you any more
Crawl upon your hands and knees
Looking for a brighter time
But your a prisoner in your own mind
And no ones there to save you
It's time you came to see the truth
And allowed your heart to speak its mind
Maybe then you'll finally see
You were never so alone
And maybe then you'll finally see
That brighter world for you and me
Let your words unleash themselves
Maybe we can be free
Inherit Nothing
Another one I'm really pleased with
Dreams were meant to be broken
And I've ruined quite a few
It seems that I was was wrong agian
When I dreamt of loving you
It seems that you want naught to do
With me and all my foolish dreams
You look at me and see right through
Just a toy to you, it seems
South of Heaven and still falling
There's no salvation there for me
The Devil has his claws locked in
A heart that wishes to be free
The weak shall inherit nothing
No matter what the old books say
Because the truth about our world
Is the fact that crime does pay
If there's something you want, take it
Don't leave your life in the hands of fate
Life is a journey of hurt and joy
And if you don't hang on, you'll be too late
My World And Shredded Wings
Burning through their smiling masks
You look at people and you see lies
You should ask yourself the question
Will I ever find my paradise?
Forget the world around you
And let your town burn down
Feel the doctors pound you
As you’re going down
Your life is going to go to Hell
And all your days will suck
Put reality on a back burner
And go off to get skull ******** the worlds and empty stage
And you’re the star in your own show
But no one comes to see it
Sold out, on your way you go.
The world will make demands of you
That you just can’t complete
The world will beat and stand on you
But will you admit defeat?
Because you know you’re going down
And you know your gonna die
But you’ll never have to worry
Because our brains are gonna fry
No, you’ll never have to worry
If you never even try
But angels who live in apathy
Can never learn to fly
I love the feeling of being chained to you
I’m always what you ask me to be
I really don’t have any choice at all
My fear of losing you compels me
I’m the wingless angel
And I’m the game that’s played
I’m the loyal servant
Who never gets his pay
Please undo the punishments
Just be kind in the things you do
Please love me like your only one
The angel who shredded his wings for you
Severed Ties, Logic Is Dead
In the past and presently
I've severed ties that led to me
So take your lies and let me be
Locked in calling reverie
Broken, danger
No salvation
Infatuated
With damnation
Whore yourself to twisted fate
Dreaming dreams that won't come true
Just give up now, you're too late
Once it's found you, you're trapped too
Shattered, twisted
My reflection
Feel it kill you
Love's infection
Love is the drug that soon destroys
All logic is soon put to sleep
Once infected, lives are toys
A kiss will rip you, hugs cut deep
Trapped and warping
Just say goodnight
A bad idea
that feels so right
So just give in and let it take you
Say you love her, let her break you
It's all fun and games 'til a heart gets broken
Thats when her real fun starts
Kiss Me (One Last Time)
Light the candles, start the fire.
Snuggle down for the end of the world.
Watch the sun reach its zenith while you listen to this rhyme.
Please kiss me, one last time.
Forget your cares, forget your needs, this is all we get.
So be at peace and be at ease. You know I’m here for you.
The end is drawing near and I can hear it coming.
And now I realize how lucky I and how beautiful you are.
Death is at the door and I can hear him knocking.
And he’ll wait up on me just one more time.
Kiss me, one last time.
To Kill An Angel
Forever locked in Death’s embrace
Cold, alone, an empty shell
But burning with the memories
The life, the love; a living hell
She claws her way through another night
By arcane ways and paths of old
And in the morning, she’ll come to find
Diamond eyes hide hearts of coal
Living life in ignorance
May be the sweetest path of all
If you never try to climb the tree
Then you can never fall
One more night, spent all alone
Locked away from the world outside
That beast, the source of all her pain
Within your lonely room she hides
One more night marks curtain call
The dawn will greet those glazing eyes
Do you think they’ll sing a song for her?
Will you even know she died?
One more night marks suicide
Another night, another end
A wasted soul moves past the veil
Forever searching for a friend
And in the morning, nothing’s left
Of the young angel who tried to live
But the world turned out to be too cruel
And took all she had to give
But there is something that you should know
This never had to come to pass
You could have been her resurrection
Her shining knight and happiness
Love Is A Drug
I’m addicted to your nicotine kisses
But I can’t take much more of this
All my life is an ashtray
And I’m snuffing out my memories
I need your heroine caresses
But I’m strung out from this thought
My life is a pile of old syringes
A tourniquet on my mind
Feeding on narcotic love
Life is the party and I’m already hung over
Love is a drug, no matter the flavor
You’re just like drugs and alcohol
You hold onto me just like cocaine
You warp my mind and waste my time
This love is driving me insane
Feeding on narcotic love
Life is the party and I’m already hung over
Love is a drug, no matter the flavor
I’m lost inside your morphine dreams
Numbing up to shield myself
Today is the day I break the fall
The leash around my neck again
I’ll die without this acid love
The blur between realities
A psychedelic wall of tombstones
The life lived inside my mind
Feeding on narcotic love
Life is the party and I’m already hung over
Love is a drug, no matter the flavor
Crush On
How dimly now the stars are shining
Observations of decay; finality
Burning with fever, sick of the cold
And the crushing weight of reality
How softly now the heart is beating
A fragile kingdom of crystal tears
Gentle thumping fades to nothing
Gone from life, no care or fear
How swiftly now the wind is blowing
We’ll be lost before the dawn
Like sparrows in a hurricane
We’ve lost all will to carry on
We were electric angels, her and I
She was the beacon and I the storm
And we’ll dance in low Earth-orbit
At the final breaking moment
The tragic end of our young world
Fall
I'm getting ready for the end
And I'm ready for the fall
Both Floyd and Freud would love me
Because I'm building my own walls
You can choke on all the things
You never ever said
I think I finally see truth
You like me better dead
If you want to kill me, tell me
I'd do it all for you,
This life has drawn out far too long
And I think I want it too
And for all of you who don't know pain
Try "I love you's" that never came
Or the kiss that came to late
Or gods that fail and hearts that break
It's not about what you thought you knew
It's what you're hearing now
Forget the things that led you here
And get ready for the long way down
There's only one fact I know is correct
Pain only stops when mothers kiss you
But she's probably dead, so you better move on
Because she was the only one who would miss you
So live fast and die young
And maybe you'll get it right
Trust your eyes, not your heart
Or you'll just end up blind
Hearts of the Denied
Peeling through this God-made canvas
Searching for the answers
That hold this foundation up
Behind the walls of scars
I bleed out angel's hair
Like golden streams of pain
I thought you cared about the heart in your hands
Cold to your touch and broken
Take me to your place of reconing
To give it all away in exchange
For a heart made of razor wire
Suffocating on your words of exquisite pain
May be the sweetest death of all
Dare To Dream
Take a break inside my mind
And see the world through my eyes
Watch all the happy couples passing by
And live all the times I've cried
I've done everything I can
To be part of your master plan
Feel the way my mind erases
Your delicate and light finger traces
I run away to different places
But I see you in all the faces
Would you dare to dream with me?
And see all the things hate to be?
Chip away this heart, my friend
With tears of blue glass, shattered again
See beauty with its heavy chain
And all the people I've caused pain
Thread the needle through my skin
And hold me up on puppet strings
Sometimes I dream that I'm alive
Sometimes I dream I've died
I watch the world and passers by
But never though my own eyes
Open the door and let me walk in
Take me to ruins, show me an end
Inherit The Guilt
Look around and tell me
If you like the things you see
You're all ******** big kids now
So take responsibility
You brought it all upon yourself
Your doom has finally been completed
The choice was yours and always was
Every loving memory deleted
You'd better learn to slow down
You shouldn't dance so fast
Our time is always running short
And the music just won't last
Use your ******** one-track mind
And say you aren't having fun
"All work and no play," they say
"Makes bathtime razor bites a must"
You're never going to escape it
The same is true in every land
You can break every handshake
By severing the hands
You create the world around you
With everything you've said or felt
And so you damn the next generation
With your inheritance of guilt
Absinthe Laced Goodbyes
In the dead of night
I sleep and dream of you
Tonight tears flow with memories
In my empty room
The facts start to sink in
I lost control when
You said that you need me
Said that you need me again
And then on that day when
I broke down and
You said that you missed me
Said you missed me again
This naked soul burns with desire
Touched, consumed by burning fire
Heaven lies inside your eyes
Each moment staring, absinthe sighs
I know you're out there
I can hear you screaming
And I know you're with me
I can feel you dreaming
I'm burning in Hell and
I can't tell your God that
His plan has failed us
His plans have failed us again
There's no hope for us, so
I feel like I should go
It's the last time you'll see me
You won't be seing me
Again
The Hellside Hotel
Let’s go strolling down town
To the devilish hotel
There’s no turning back now
So I’ll see you in hell
Live in the moment
The fury, the laughter
Let’s make ourselves memories
Unhappy ever after
Stop at the Check-In
And pick up the key
Close the door on your soul
No longer living, no longer me
Sometimes when I sit
And think to myself
I wish I’d kept and not burnt
The cards I’d been dealt
You gave up on the life
Of love and respect
Now your life is your death
In retrospect
You see what it’s done to you
This life, of your choosing
Your mind has abandoned you
You fight, but you’re losing
They can’t hear you scream now
You’ve sunk too far down
You played and you lost
Now it’s better to drown
When push comes to shove
And shove leads to doom
I'll spend all my days in this Hellside hotel
And I’ll be seeing you soon
Petals of a Black Rose
I have seen ruins of a broken heart
decaying dreams of happiness
and have become a slave to torment
until the beauty of a thousand petals
fallen from a black rose were seen
Shining through the clouds
holding a breath and a scent that
Longed to speak through silence
Holding within it a secret
Only to be spoken between two hearts
The Long Walk Home
Your doom surrounded by the night
No one ever loved us right
We paid with blood and all our strength
To a world that never cared
The candle burns with it's cold fire
Sapping my world of all thats left
I've come all this way to kill you now
And I'll show you the truth; I'm scared to live
Blow out the light and let me fall
My way to sleep shall be my last
I'm tired of dreaming for untrue answers
These ******** lies shall be my end
I had a dream from death tonight
He rose from the ground in front of me
Scared, I took his hand tonight
Will you finally love me right?
I had a dream from death tonight
He offered his kind hand to me
Scared, I took his hand tonight
And followed him into the light
The Death of Nostalgia
"Nostalgia was found murdered yesterday.
While there are still no suspects in the case,
Authorites are searching for motives.
If you have any information pertaining to this attrocity
Then we urge you to come forward."
A long time ago, someone told me
If everything was easy
the good times wouldn't be as good
I didn't believe him then
But that was a lifetime ago
"When asked to comment on the recent events,
Peter Murphy had only these simple words to give:
'Someone shot Nostalgia in the back.
Someone shot our innocence
And all our colors have run...'"
Reverie is an ever-fading dream
Fleeting glimpses and shy smiles
If rules were made to be broken
Then memories must be made to be forgotten
There truely is an idiocy to clocks
Is it ever possible to relive the memories you hold
With the understanding you gained after they're long forgotten?
Understanding removes the feeling
To understand happy times would be simple
To understand them would be to forget them
Take it and live it
Don't try to understand it
Or you'll be trapped in a daydream
A wandering spirit reliving the times
They know they never had
"Services will be held later in the week
For happier times and days long gone."
The Old Men At Dusk
Salted sun kings
Strange in the light on their benches
Slatted, slight fetches
Stretched out webbing
Into more than just shadows
And such long-drawn
Conversations of fate
Die For You In Dreams
The world spins to fast, I can't
Find a way to make this last, I can't
Find a way to stay here
But I would die for you
I would die for you
Do anything I need to do
I'll fight the time and bow my head
To see you smile, I'll face my death
The Dusk is always fairer
When the moon is rising
And the scent is always sweeter
When the rose is dying
I dreamt to make the road my home
Forever onward I would roam
But I couldn't find a place to hide
When the dusk fell into night
There's no more need for you to cry
Wipe away the teardrops from your eyes
There's no more need to feel the pain
Of someone close to you leaving again
Her breath is sweet, her body warm
And we'll brave the coming strom
Give me wings and fly me higher
And burn me with your eye's sweet fire
Just like all I ever loved
I was make-believe
But you taught me how to feel
And you finally made me real
We lie asleep, but not for long
You'll get to see what we see
And feel what we feel
But don't worry
You'll know when you're awake
To The Establishment
You seem to think reality
Is just another easy game
You'll learn the hard way when you find
That life's the animal you can't tame
Is it all for your conformity?
You use lives like games to play
I work so hard for everything
But you just take away
Life is never an easy thing
But you just make it harder
I don't want your ******** baggage
And I'm not a ******** martyr
We won't take this lying down
We won't be your broken toys
When oppression leads to realization
It's suicide for the girls and boys
It's time to bite the bitter truth
Of every bullet that I aim
I gave each one of them a face
And I gave one of them your name
A man is a window of tinted glass
That you look at everyday
You see yourself when you walk past
And then you look away
You will never know what is really there
Or what is on the other side
It takes a much more careful stare
To see what is inside
Sincerely, the individuals
P.S.
You'll be hearing from us soon
Dream On (Decaying Angel)
An angel fell from grace today
And cut out his eyes to never see
The world that he was forced to live in
And all the things he could never be
He makes his way through city streets
And along back country roads
All alone and wondering of
The fate of his, yet to unfold
He sits and wonders to himself
How much longer can we last
In a world that's always changing
Before we're murdered by the past?
You'll never know what the angel saw
When he took his eyes
Or the nights he spent alone
With gunshots for his lullabies
Like some plagued insomniac
He swears he never sleeps
But he always seems to slip away
And then he starts to dream
He dreams of the life that he once had
And of the love that he once held
Lost just like a sinner's heart
And distant, fading wedding bells
When morning comes, he travels on
In search of things to make him real
But his solace can't be found
Just like the love he'll never feel
He wanders on, blind and alone
With nothing but his memories
Of living life within a lie
Concealing past atrocities
He's burning from the inside out
With things he's dying to confess
And distant thoughts of a pretty girl
The one he's dying to caress
He'd sell his soul to see once more
His life before he lost it all
And the world that turned its back
On him the day he took the fall
He wished that he could end his pain
He wished his life less dark
He wished to go back to a time
A time before he fell apart
Back to a time where love was blind
Far away from that horrid place
But the past will always chase him
And he'll never win that race
So he took a blade and killed himself
Alone, without a friend
And as his world fades into dark
Thats where this story ends
He woke up shaking, drenched in sweat
In his bed with her once more
He looked and saw here laying there
The one he had been longing for
For all his years, he won't forget
Everything he's seen
Or the life that he spent blind
All within his tortured dreams
But the fear is ever-present
On the nights that he dreams on
He'll wake to fine that he's still blind
He'll wake up and she'll be gone
California Sun
Ain't got no money to spend
Chillin' with my friends
Out here in the California sun
Out there, on the beach
My toes in the sand
Letting the waves crash on me
With a surf board in my hand
I got the whole world infront of me
And the sea breeze in my hair
Tears don't mix with bad beer
So I live without a care
I'm in pure ecstacy
Ain't nothing wrong with me
Got my friends beside me
In the cool, sweet night
And this is all I need
Raindrops Fall
Raindrops fall through hidden sorrows
Searching out for new tomorrows
Like the river's rushing traces
As drops glisten towards new faces
A new thought is drawing nearer
The scent of dew is always clearer
Clean and fresh, forbidden dreamers
The dampness hazes fellow screamers
The new day's dawning, maybe dying
Children laughing, playing, crying
Through all the happiness and pain
There will always be the rain
Close my eyes and drift away
Listen to the raindrops play
A soothing tone, sweet melody
As life flies by so gracefully
Quicken my thoughts to something new
Searching for a better view
Of the love that I once knew
Gentle as the christening dew
Raindrops fall through hidden sorrows
Tell me, is there no tomorrow?
Live for the day, I once was told
Before too long, we'll be too old
As drops glisten towards new faces
We wonder why we're going places
Is there life before the rain?
Some small shelter from the pain?
You're searching now so you can see
What your destiny will be
Once in my life, I knew so few
Who knew what they were meant to do
Walking slowly through the garden
I watch the rain fall all around and
I see my true identity
And what my life has meant to me
Suicide King
We're the kings and queens of suicide
And these are the best days of our lives
We strive to see a better time
Before the day we all must die
Here's to the king who killed himself!
The King of Hearts was a normal guy
Before he decided to go and die
And I can't help but wonder why
He wished so badly to take his life
The king is dead. Long live the king!
No, I can't help but wonder why
He just couldn't see the light
But we need a new king, so now's the time
To lift the sword and take the ride
Junkie On The Run
Wrap me around your little finger
Stomp me down into the dirt
Dig your nails into my back
Because I like it when it hurts
So let me taste your pain
And then just leave me reeling
It's not about fun anymore
It's just about the feeling
Oh, I can't stand the way
All these things complicate me
Addiction's clawing at my heartstrings
And I just can't escape me
My memories are laying, dead
I watched their veins run dry
And I don't care about tomorrow
Because I'm drowning out the pain tonight
I'm digging myself deeper now
And my veins are all collapsing
And you know, I love the feeling
Of how my time is quickly passing
So take my hand and rip me open
Watch me fall and call it fun
Life can be such a fragile thing
When you're just a junkie on the run
When The Dream Finally Dies
All my dreams are dying
And the world moves way to fast for me
I can't hold on any longer
Becasue I live the tragedy I preach
We need to find new heros
Because we've killed the ones of old
And now my walls are closing in
I need to find a new way out
So take me (take me)
I'm looking for a new tomorrow
So take me (take me)
Because I'm sick
I'm sick and tired of today
Every room is empty now
The world's a cold and lonely place
So get me ********' out of here.
There's nothing left for me
So I don't need nostalgia
And I don't need my memories
So I'll run away from yesterday
And I want you to follow me
So take me (take me)
I'm looking for a new tomorrow
So take me (take me)
Because I'm sick
I'm sick and tired of today
Living In Sin (Knights and Angels)
Allow me here, to weave a story
Of hearts and hate, now intertwined,
A story of a fragile man
With the ecstacy of sin in mind.
He loves to hear the screams
Of angels when they're falling,
And to him it's such a lovely sight
To see angels when they're crawling.
He gave up his righteousness
On a day now lost to time,
A fairytale he'd never have,
One more loss to leave him blind.
He sits on his throne
Made of hate, not of gold
It's the price that he pays
When he loses control.
He lives a life now complicated
By everything he'll never see,
So look between the lines to find,
That man who lives in sin is me.
He lives a life now lost and jaded
By all the things he'll never do,
But on that day his stone heart cracked,
The day you said you loved me too.
A single angel in the masses,
That perfect calm before the storm,
Saw not a dog, but a knight in hiding,
His sword now dull, his armor worn.
A life of unknown radiance,
An angel he could never harm.
He kill to feel his lips on hers,
And hold her in his arms.
She seemed so young and innocent,
Like a robin in the Spring,
And for her smile, he realized,
That he'd give up everything.
She finally broke the vice-like grip
That he held on memories.
He found he didn't need them now
When his dream became reality.
He took his life back from the ashes
With this angel by his side,
And on that night, they became one,
Their lifeblood shared in passion's bite.
Again he stood against the world.
For her, he would do anything,
She was his love, his heart, his life,
She had become his perfect sin.
