LYRICS
A Simple Inquiry
Remember the resplendence of summer’s day? Rejoicing in the warmth, cold chased away? Yet amnesia overcomes, only fog remains. Desecrated and destroyed, nursed by the rain. Winter grows with blackened snow Fires burn, warmth bestowed Guiding lights now made shorter For true darkness is in order Remember the glowing leaves of autumn’s dawn? Spiraling down to earth in golden falls? Only the end of warmth appears to me. Death approaching in frozen filigree. Crying, fighting, shivering, dying. Can’t you see them falling down?
Autumn Evening
Frozen sunsets chilled to rime. Casting dusk among the pines. Gentle winds ascend in beauty. Whisking away, just whisking away. Twilight comes among the stars. Chilling darkness, glowing scars. Growing lights encompass the scene. Takes it away, just takes it away from me. Away--purge me of the cold. Inside me strip away my soul. Away--purge me of the cold. Forever bleeding frozen blood. Away-purge me of the cold, Or leave me here to frost, again. Marvelous fields laid to waste. Broken flowers, a destructive fate.
Reminiscing as conscious falls. Walking away, just walking away.
Corner
Stroll with me through an esoteric dream. Iridescent, intoxicated gleam. Acquiescing the lights of the scene.....now pull back the sheets. Darkened eyes to a darkened sky. Around me on all sides. Marvel at the stoic omen on the floor. Unconscious, inanimate horror. Unable to locate a prominent door. Dying in his sleep.
Dying Trust
Walking on this path of isolation. I just can’t cope with this frustration. I’m so confused. I don’t know what to do. All I know is that I can never trust you. I run to you every time I am afraid, But all you do is slam the door right in my face. This rejection I can no longer take. But I need so much help with the decisions I’ll make. You always said you’d stay for me. That you’d always stay for me. That you’d always stay for me. Please don’t you leave. You always said you’d be there for me. I believed your every word, it set me free. Now I’m locked in this jail of desolation, Because your every move becomes my complication. So will you be my beautiful destruction, Or cower back in typical reluctance? Throw me down and make me tame. Extinguish me with one final flame.
What else is left to fear? Won’t you help me disappear?
Falling Trees
Bitter wind and candlelight Alone here in the dark of night Huddled in this cold I find That raining tears cloud my mind Ravaged trees and bleeding leaves Waiting here for ends to meet Enshrouded in this veil of black Replace this nothing with what I lack Follow me into disaster, I’ll lead the way. Broken lives and fragile cries Thinking of dreams, whispering sighs Escape into fantasy now Conceal your sight in darkness now. Walk the line that leads to sleep, pass through the walls that seemed so steep. Bitter winds and candlelight, suffer now in the dark of night.
Hopeless Optimism
Watch the branches sway in the wind. Admire the horrid flames as the branches singe. Drown your disgust with one deep breath. Accept the fact that nothing’s left. Wrapped in shadows, you ask me who died. I assure you it’s me who’s dead inside. Drown your ignorance with one more drink. Now you’ll see how close black is to the brink. There’s nothing left to believe. Ashes as the wind takes it away. Are you aware now that this isn’t a game? Drown your disbelief with a shake. A morbid taste as I disintegrate. Gaze on me now as I drift off to sleep. Dreaming now of that definitive leap. Accept this horror with a sudden gasp. This visioning of shadowed trees is the last. Always looking up, But never ascending. I’m sick of looking up, And constantly descending.
The Sight of Breath
A somnambulant being passes through The familiar darkened blue. Wandering out, with eyes unsheathed Now leaves turned to brown Covering the translucent ground Venturing now, with eyes deceived My breath appears as smoke, as I begin to choke….I take shelter in November Hiding now in autumn’s solstice As of late I can’t remember My single worldly solace. Fall leaves burned to gold Glowing in shades untold. Conciliating in my defeat Bouncing sleepless now, devoid of light Amassing strength to absorb the bitter night Journeying now, my soul relieved.
TV Love
Everything seems so stunningly beautiful But everything is cold and decayed Sparkling eyes prying for the truth Creatures calling from a burning utopia Beckoning my return to disgrace Sending kisses of loving agony Have you ever lain upon the earth, And watched you thoughts swirl in the sky? Have you ever clenched the earthen dirt, And watched your mind wither and die? Widening eyes to combat the helping embrace Caving in to close out the nurturing lights Spinning round and round, just waiting to fall A rocking feeling returns—seizes control All the glamour blazes forth—nauseates Blackened eyes accepting the truth.
Drown Me Out
A storm approaches, filled with satisfaction. Now smiles shine through, ignorant reactions. All I see is intellect destruction. No Child Left Behind. Our standards lowered, their hopes are raised. It’s raining now, the schools decay. It’ll be so easy to succeed today, with No Child Left Behind. Darkened clouds on the horizon. Drown me out. Mirthless shadows in the sky. They drown me out. Perpetual progression has now been smashed. How much longer will we last, if the youth has been halted in it’s advance? No Child Left Behind. The storm is now looming overhead. Hailstones of reform turn my vision red. How can we survive if the youth is dead? No Child Left Behind.
Falls and Casts
Daylight fractures the placid recesses. Preminissions, spectral confessions. Pale visage, a blank stare. Under the sun, part of the tear. Reaching for the light burns my eyes, scorched skin, bitter cries. Close to the hearth, a tale to tell. Listen closely, hear farewell. Close that book of simple lullabies......had enough. Shut your book of heavenly sighs. Finally night falls and casts its cover. Coalescence, but the voice of another. Clenched teeth and trembling hands. Under the light nothing stands. Reaching for the light burns me eyes, scorched skin, bitter cries. Forever alone this cursed man. Under the sun, forever damned.
Splash
Murky tears destroy my fear. Tragedy's head will soon be reared. Twisting webs of hate are woven. Love pours out of a heart that's cloven. Poison seeps into the veins. Unrelenting rage further waned. Will you be my only fear? Will you perpetuate what's here? Will you be my only fear? Don't ever show your fear. Breathe in the shadows at last. Cold air dicates the past. Instablity is the only crutch. A solemn symbol of broken luck. Poison seeps into the veins. Unrelenting rage further waned.
The Saved
Cascading moonlight and an atrocious mist envelop him, as the cadence of shattering trees revives him. Death stares through the gloomy haze, but he ignores their futile gaze. Oh, it’s so easy to hear them now, to hear the ones that are saved. Now in total solitude he admires the cries of the stones; inanimate—covering the ones who are saved. Death stares through the gloomy haze, but he ignores their futile gaze.
