Gunpoint Liberty

They all have their guns Aimed at the face of freedom There's nowhere to run.

Dear Lost Soul

I'm one to talk about forgetting it all But I feel like I haven't moved at all I put too much ice on my broken arm. I'm now numb to my hollow core. Dear lost soul, I'm here and still strong Scarlet feathers and unfinished songs I prayed that I'd reach you somehow. A chasm still exists between us. Quite some time still has to pass Can you see and touch my fire? I burn for things that will never be mine Like the beauty I lost when you died Or the darkness that once welcomed me In its innocent warmth What peculiar fate to carry the weight Of a world that will never know love My stories speak about how your teeth Lures me in when you smile I was aware of how I wanted to be Who you'll chase and understand

Aperture

Black photograph
Naked eye in flight
I'm by the river's mouth
Where they drowned us shut

My life in shadows
I won't have it any other way
The will of sunspots
The chase between night and day

Black photograph
Evil eye against my plight
I'll be myself
See it with your own eyes

Moon shaped scars
And the blade that made them so
Tincture of blood in fear
Of prolonging your sacrifice

Rife with shadows
The edge of a corner
A salute to your deference
Piercing away the tension

Bleak is my bonfire
I'll wait for sundown
Weak is my conscience
Awaiting deliverance
