Analysis is paralysisEbb and flow of tides,
the way eagle glides
and how raindrops fall,
mind cannot recall.
Mind wishes to know,
source of our soul’s glow,
fragrance of a rose,
blooming in repose.
Fears that haunt and bait,
twists and turns of fate,
impacts us no...

Vexed NightsVexed Nights
Trapped in my own delusion,
Engulfing self induced contusions,
I imprudently cause self confusion,
Distance seems cruel to me
So I detach from what used to be,
Emotionally,
Physically,
Then spiritually,
I vanish,
Into what I imagine,
How to feel,
Deciphering what’s...

Through Jaded EyesI deserve it at this point,
I see it coming every time.
I know your promises are hollow,
and your love riddled with lies.
I've stayed this long just hoping
(that) maybe one day things could change.
Despite repeating cycles,
foolishly,...

Haunted by Your GhostEach dawn, I wake up to the ghost of your voice,
Your words I once cherished, now haunt my choice.
For without your tender touch, the night stands so still,
No comfort is found, as darkness brings its...

I'm Starting to ForgetI'm Starting to forget you
I wish I wasn't.
When is your birthday?
What are your fears?
I can't really believe
It's been so many years.
What color is your hair?
Is it curly like mine?
What clothes did you wear?
Whats your Favorite...

Mirror's WarIn the weeping crack of dawn, a battleground unfurls,
Reflected in the mirror’s gaze, a storm behind two girls
One, a wisp of tattered light, eyes shimmering with tears
The other, a vicious shadow, barbed smile and pointed...

Send In The ClownsDo you treasure
perplexity
strive to confuse
doubting the obvious
pandering the ruse
Do you live inside
cloud cover
avoiding the sun
exposure avoided
your fear on the run
Do you hide
behind bombast
the panderer’s lie
your costumes unchanging
as truth you deny
Do you wander
left aimless
your ego...

Purposely looped to destroy vagrants with electronic music

A theif in the nightI lay awake as your hands haunt me,
In my mind everytime I close my eyes;
Every happy thought is tainted,
By the way I cannot move on,
From the departure of myself,
As you took me from me;
Now every...

I remember having gone to bed a little tired,
And soon fell into a deep sleep.
Night chill prickled my skin.
I felt unusually light.
Wasn’t sure what had come about,
But was shocked at the eerie sight.
In the place...
