As Darkness Falls

As darkness falls
into my life 
The world has turned
from day to night
life has changed
in just one day
and you don't have
a thing to say

From love
to enimy number one
I never thought
This day would come
of all the hateful
things you've done
I guess you thought
You had to run

Your day will come
and i can't wait
When your destiny
Becomes your fate
As you feel the rage...
the pain... the hate...

I think about 
the darkest times
And can't accept 
the bottom line
As I turn my back 
and close my eyes
It feels like death
This thing called life

it's hard to say 
what's really true
As i clear my head 
and thoughts of you
Everything 
I thought I knew
come to find 
I have no clue

It's safe to say
We're far from sane
To live the way
We did in pain
Life can seem
So dark and gray
When everyday's
a tear drop stain

I guess I am
The one to blame
As darkness falls
On me like rain

Godless

I see the Godless
face the day 
as the light of goodness
runs astray

so now you see
the walls are thin 
the hills have eyes
as lights go dim

like shiny diamonds
In the sky 
the sun and moon
see eye to eye 
the past is present
walking by 
what is and was will testify

but history tries
to change it's mind 
so all we see 
will believe these lies

the theories
the dogma
the myths of sin

the doctine
the culture
the hate within

for the love of God's
the love for man
we're left to believe
what's never been

the wicked
the rightous
the Holy Son

the writhing
the weak
the evil one

the heathen
the holy
the priest by day

nocturnal
the lost
and the birds of prey

Me , Myself and I

a world turning 
back in time 
that always seems 
to cross the line

a lonely feeling
deep inside 
without a trace
alone to die...

just me myself and I

so here I sit
and eat the fig
as though I didn't care

I'm lost inside
my selfish pride 
behind this golden stare

now all is said
from what's been done 
years that pass
that yet to come

so here I sit
in misery 
with no where left to run

so many times
I hide inside
this life that shouldn't be

but now the mind
is mesmerized
for all the world to see

face to face
eye to eye 
drifting off 
in backward times

just myself and I

A Time of Change

It's cold inside 
My mind  at times 
And life is but a dream
 
I've tried to leave
The past behind 
But nothing's what it seems

As seasons face 
The days to come 
the air is brisk
my body's numb

Now things
have changed
In life with age
and all that's said is done

everything
In life you hate
Your eyes are blind
An altered state

And everything
that is and was 
Is coming back
And always does

Cos life
you see
has come to be 
a finger pointing back at me

So in the dark
or in the stars 
Some day you will see

When life is hard
and leaves it's mark
The scars can run so deep

Now Looking back
on through the past 
that cold reality

The same mistakes
I always make
And now I'll always be

Just heading down
That same old path
A final breath I breathe

Babel

you can't see
what my eyes see
as hopeless
as these broken dreams
now it comes to me
sadistically 
like a never ending
travesty...

I'll pay the price
a thousand times
and still do as I please

sanity's never
thinking twice
malady
always knows your vice
so vanity never leaves


her emptiness
a vital key
to a hopeless state of mind

exposing 
every fault in me
imposing
its commodity
and you know
its just how going to be
itching on down the line

you know
there is no
stopping me
screwing up
constantly
but it's not
how I wanna be...

TIME! after TIME! after TIME!

I'll live an eternity
in constant adversity
it comes to me naturally
it's not like I try to be
and now
ANIMOSITY'S

MINE! All MINE!

invading all your privacy
I always fall from grace
and now I'm talking hell of it
right up in your face...
So how do you like me now?

I'm living' up
to what you say
staying up…all night and day
chasing all your dreams away
dragging your ass straight down

but it's 
starting
to get to me

the misery
ecstasy

the agony
irony
consumed
by insanity
a calamity
vanity
What more can I say?

it's all just been
a pack of lies
the American dream... never alive

in passing
maybe
once or twice
the more
it makes you
fantasize
maybe a glimpse of me

the wings
can free
your broken dreams
and keep these lies inside

do you really know
what all this means?
on the wing
of a broken dream...

as HYPOCRISY denies

now it's constantly
mocking' me
performing Lobotomies
adultery and sodomy...

then walking away

an now it has
the audacity
wanting to 
"Rapture" me
beyond my capacity
all broken dreams

just a passing phase


the words are
Intoxicating
Vibrant
Exhilarating
the results
always devastating

and I never change...





this just a little rant I 
wrote  about 20 years ago
(minus all the F bombs)
and why you don't drugs
it's total insanity

Always Up's Down Again

candles burning 
in the wind
good runs out 
and evils in
from earth to sand
through all mans sin
always up's down again

you feel the need
to plant the seed
as leaves are falling
from the trees

with diamond eyes
disguised in hate
foretelling lies
that captivate
they glamorize 
the hands of fate
to victimize 
and infiltrate

so now the mind 
is mesmerized
For all the world to see

but now its time
to walk the line
your time has come to be

candles burning in the wind
diamond eyes that long for sin
you look inside, and see within
always up's down again

In My Own Skin

I hate the way I feel inside
poison infiltrates the mind
my body's numb a final breath
'cos there's nothing left
in life... but death

I see the sickness ruling me
shattered hope
and broken dreams
as hopeless as it's always been
I just can't live in my own skin

cos danger is my middle name
and my first and last 
is hate and pain
a sense of worth 
that's bound by shame
with hatred's running thru my veins

a living grave
an empty soul
life has finally took its toll

its left me marked
and dead within
so the light inside is burning dim

battle scars 
run wide and deep
I just can't practice what I preach

I never take my own advice
and always pay the highest price

my will to be 
is dead within 
I just can't live 
in my own skin
