Inauguration
You greeted death at the door
The insurance will not cover this
The flowers, petals, a raging storm
Faint at distance
Splinters from the steel in which you lay
Unchangeable lies weave a tattered song
Die here a while, wish I could stay
Too long
A day of grieving in our grasp
As long as we have time to waste
Indifferent faces have stared their last
Face
Man in a box is a martyr
Man in your home is a dog
Pulling strings till you stagger
Open your eyes and unravel
At the dawn
Ashes to ashes, heart to heart
A hymn for posterity
Empathetic strangers are a work of art
In my apathy
Person you're trying to call isn't here
You have knocked me off the receiver
Tears recognized failing faith won't appear
I'm a believer
10,000 days in isolation
Breathe in the spores to stay survive
Do not take the time to necessitate
Never alive
Man in a box is a martyr
Man in your home is a dog
Pulling strings till you stagger
Open your eyes and unravel
At the wronged
