Ashes To Ashes, Dust To Perfection

Too many thoughts tabulated by one soul
Repairing broken hearts like clockwork
Working the night like the day was a gift
Sunshine wandering off into distant deserts
Could I be right?
Could I be wrong?
Unsettled and uncomfortable
Relaxing into life 
Falling gently into imagination
Taken away to future places
Future lives
Future loves
Excitement takes over the unsettled thoughts
Aspiring to be better
To be complete
Not fixing 
Nothing is broken
Piecing together a lost hope
Sliding the puzzle into place
Slowly but surely 
The sun will not distant
The sun will wake like I with a smile
Broken hearts will become the past
Thoughts wont be tabulated
Thoughts will be embraced
The day and night
Everything in between
Fulfilled

The Couch Doesn'T Pull Out

Walking a plank into a miserable ocean of loneliness
Not knowing how to feel the earth beneath my feet
The learning process was long and unstable
I couldn’t hear the voices of reason
My conscience not capable of such logic
You told me not to fear
You taught me how bleed
I pitter pattered throughout your heart without doubt
You pitter pattered to another’s 
Sadly caught, you tried redemption
I sought revenge
Killing myself by allowing your presence
Slowly pulling the trigger held to my head
Easing into the gunshot
Like valium filling my filthy mind
Cupid’s arrow surely missed the mark
You can’t stay here tonight
My arms tight with stroke
Jesus surely would not allow such madness
Religious free and full of angst
Whether drowning in the ocean or absorbing the shot
Worthiness shall only be measured by my heart.

Trees Burn Faster With Butane

A saber blade of heavens moon scars my proportional dream
Your sickliness and misery is driving me insane
I cannot help but wonder why you distant far from me
I cannot make you realize what hope you need to see
A trickle tear of satans rain, runs down your tender face
Lavish roses fade to black and oceans fade to green
A memory of you i have and will not chance to lose it yet
But leave me here to be all alone and i promise you regret
Dont think impressions ever darken and intesity brings more light
You try and run your legs will ache and your life will fade to dust
Your body will churn
The blades will cut
Your leaking sinful cries
A life without a soul you see is only because of your lies
So try and doubt and dare to scream
I'll make it your last try
Make me stay just one more night and for you i promise to cry

Rotting Underneath the Flesh

you open up a door
you open up a mind
shut out all the shadows
shut out what you find
and pretend that its okay
and fake that you are near
you'll never get away
your never leaving here
so bottle up your motion
and lock it deep inside
keep monsters underneath it
tell the devil he must hide
they're not going to accept you
they're not going to care
they think that your a loser
they point and laugh and stare
but stand tall like that in the hallway
stand taller than you should
keep practicing the woodwork
like the monsters know you should

Picture Frames For Frozen Moments

Weird Monday
The morning sun first kissed my face
I smiled 
Amazingly lacking an ounce of frown
Skipping in my mind
But solemnly pacing down the walk
Towards the car
Keys jingling
Toes tapping silently in my kicks
Lyrics of better days flooding my mind
Seeing inside my mind
Making better decisions
Not forcing questions
Days of better
Days of love
Lust
Days full of flavor
Live for the moment
Savor the day
And trust no one

I'D Still Cry At Your Funeral

A Strategic move
A plan for self satisfaction
Throwing away beliefs
Denying the right to personal morals
Trying and crying
Making no reason
Planning for a futureless past
Naïve and tame
Karma kicking in
Lifeless love and digging for faith
Why you left
Why you fell into another’s arms
Digging for a reason
Prying open doors never locked
Silly excuses
Fool am I
Fool will I be
Tricked me twice and begging for a third should leave
But I left
Long before you loved me

Brand Name Poison

Let it ride
Let the pain seep into your veins
Shelter yourself from the noise
The white hypnotic noises
Water rushes to your brain
The buzzing lights
Fuel ignites your senses
The gasoline stings your skin
Crystal fixtures drip with ease
Feel the air pump your muscles
Spasm after spasm
Acid into base
Base into acid
Seperating from yourself
Seperate from the world
Your skeletal world
Hard as it pours
Soft as it flows
The chemistry of the mind is ruthless
