The Festival of Nothing

I woke up from a deep slumber 
Saw my father alive and sober 
Saw my mother proud for being asleep 
And seeing these unpredictable things 
I looked around too find a mirror 
As I glanced to it all I could view 
Was bones and dark grey clouds 
I knew I could be dead because as 
Soon as I turned around 
My parents were gone 
All the color of the dream 
Was faded the paradise 
I was seeing was just the festival of nothing 
Sorrow was all I felt 
I spoke alone but loud 
asking if I could go back home 
But death came from around me 
And said I couldnt go at all 
I stared at all the skulls  in the floor 
A song circus like played from far away 
Out of nowhere 
A gigantic elephant with no skin on it began too dig itself out of it's own grave 
suddenly more than one began to do the same 
The floor began to shake 
As I continued to stare I could not focus on anything 
Besides these bizarre creatures coming from the ground 
Death was long gone 
Leaving me with an ora
The floor opened and crack my way 
I jumped into the ora 
And it shifted into hyper drive mode 
I woke in hospital with tubes inside my veins 
I began to cry and cry wondering why 
This came about and I had no just died

Dreams and Nightmares

I write to live
 without it I can't see a life ahead of it 

Impressions I can't get addicted 
to making them 

Used too skate in downtown Los Angeles 
Used too hit Venice 

just too smoke and look at envision
Different notebooks driven in silence 
by scriptures 

 The skyscrapers like a phenomenal creature 
I'm never alone

 I don't need a role I am with the ghouls 
Everyone lies everyone sides everyone dies
 alone 

It's just my era like I let loose with a Beretta 

No art or potential your brain melted by the media 

No thoughts or plans to make it on your own 
I'll let you fall you get back on your feet alone

Parasomnia

twenty four and a basket 
ghouls and caution tapes 
nightmares and mysterious movements 
love songs that make death cry
churches abandon on a normal day
your favorite melodies
are about materials that you do not posses 
your friends want you buried underneath concrete 
your no good too them your no good too the dead
your no good too me 
you stagger like a leech 
on a door way waiting for the next soul too take
I write in the shadows while I watch you 
move like a snake 
I wish I could leave but the pain I see you take
makes my past days unable too see 
your misery gets a bitter taste 
can you talk back too me when I've hit a grave 
you are too late I've take my route to the stars
I am lost in the stars 
far from the place soulless creatures like you call home
you hurt others and still seek hope 
I am better off away in space
I've made my own cemetery
on the moon....away from home... 
on the moon.... away from home...

Triforce On Earth

The sky is covered in black 
The days are coming to an end 
Death falls like crows fell out the sky 
The envy like a virus 
I pay no attention too it 
I watch the time slip away 
The ones with morals have fled 
Like doves 
Only if there were triforce on earth 
Could peace be restored 
I want to go back to the way the days were 
Atleast I felt alive before that feeling died 
I want you too see that there is a light in my heart 
Nobody sees it they're blind too the art 
I want too journey far away from it all 
I dont want to restore my health 
I might as well face the world with the last bit of 
Life I want to have 
I been awake 
For a deep sleep awaits

Air As My Walls

I woke up on the outside 
of earth somewhere floating to the moon 
I was pissed last night I had no 
possession of my anger 
The only friends I have are my academics 
and the gems I make for breaking the grades
All year I spoke to god
I asked for no favors I hoped he was
less stressed 
but instead set clouds of twisters and blizzards
death roamed all year like the last one
there is no difference anymore
more than a million body bags filled today
every blink of an eye
me and people do not see eye to eye
my minds not incarcerated everyone else's
living life like theres no purpose 
that's the trapped idiotic life
my father died when I was only ten 
knew nothing but vandalism 
I black diamond for a heart 
no feelings to be felt no help of any type of wealth
I just had myself 
God as the moon God as my witness 
not a gift giver or a miracle creditor 
As as my walls 
there was no barrier besides lies and sick 
thinking that money meant everything

Anti

The door opens like a loaded twelve gage 
I’m not gonna go to sleep 
I just walked into my dreams 
The girl of my nightmares 
Circling thru the maze in my mind 
I know she says I am hard to find 
I wanna get the chance too tell you
I am not just a ghost 
When you want me to be 
You was fishing and you got hooked on me 
A lost soul when no vision to see 
The dark has taken hold of nothing 
That heart don’t live there no more 
Only whispers of fear and despair 
I want you to know 
Life ain’t fair 
There is no reflection in the mirror beware 
Don’t focus on whose getting too you 
Or they might just appear 
Illusions will make you disappear 
There is no caution tape 
Or help from here 
You couldn’t dodge a bullet 
Like them deers 
And you ain’t even had any beer 
Or kush leafs to burn away the stress 
That’s s jack Daniels in the devils canister

One Last Life

I can't keep my eyes open 
The thought of my funeral 
and so many people I dont want there 
It's not my voice that will speak 
No one will respect my way of peace 
I dont want they're lies 
I walk alone from here into the darkest 
Chapters in life the stars dont shine 
when I take walks at night 
There is pressure of pain 
My medications a pen and paper 
The ghost appear too see 
What I have new 
I count to a hundred in my mind 
And I still wont sleep 
The room shook and the pen fell too the ground 
And blood started gushing out my mouth 
It was ink it didnt taste like blood 
As I saw the ghouls become more visible 
I took deep breaths and wrote one last life 
For these creatures

It Is All Gone

Another sad song another excuse, 
Who will pick up a pen and speak for the weak 
Who will become the hero without a Cape, 
Those that have no respect will never be happy, 
The time will come the guilt will end up in shame
Nothing ever turns out how you want it too be, 
Dont limit lives for anyone who tries
People will die, and people will stay lost in a maze, 
You search for a way out like we all do
You cant look for blame to help you in the dark, 
The moral of peace you give up trying too fix 
Your own hatred on a ghost that doesn't stand,
Alive anymore today a mirror every where you go 
Do you see the damages you made, 
Do you see the drinking habits of blood you thirst 
On those that only had dreams too live for, 
There is nothing here anymore only a sad story
Of someone that didnt know what they had, 
Until it is all gone 
Drugs aren't medications, 
Love is not obsession 
Lies are not with anyone, 
The days of the end 
Have come too our side, 
There is no escape
Not even pride, 
For it will be a long journey 
To find a heart that is more than worthy

Hoping

I dont know could 
act like immma trace my spot
the world's on fire 
if i see you burn with it 
then you couldn't walk into different universes
a ghost from kush might be the same
you can write love letter's to me like if
they would ever go in your frame
you can light the stars when you look at the darkness from the sky
won't come with me my beautiful october butterfly
won't you watch the moon glow in fire light
wont you miss me one last time

just because you're undead 
wont mean your welcomed back again 
each heat of the moment got the ice in my drink melting
i had a lighter but not astronaut suit
i told you i'd be smoking indica on the moon
the age don't matter
you have limbs and a voice
i don't find useless

The Cause

You said we would make it out the poverty together 
You didn't say you wanted an easy life 
You said you wouldnt kiss anybody else 
You said you would accept me for me 
You said you'd always wait too see the Los Angeles seas 
I wanted you too stare at the stars not 
Live infatuated by money 
Life looked like a beehive with no honey 
The living felt more like the undead 
You said you would be there for me 
It was all lies instead 
Your love became abuse 
I havent slept in days
What was the cause of this 
There was no love I see now 
I fell again for the same  
I wont answer any phone call 
Best believe I'll throw it out the buses window 
You need me now when you have nobody 
I am stressed and never begged 
You took my heart and replaced it with 
Payphone cords life never seemed so boring 
I opened my palms that form a light 
Doves fly when I release the pressure 
Red lightening thunders between black and red clouds
