31 Years
What I thought I saw – gone
Innocence with age – frail
In the scene I sought – scorn
Patient sacrifice
Time is dead
I’m feeling like I haven’t slept in almost 31 years
In my mouth, in my throat
I feel the burn of all those tears
Red in tooth and claw
Bloodlust that stains my skin
I choose a life that overflows
Over an uneventful drawl
Grace is so far gone
I’m feeling like I haven’t slept in almost 31 years
In my mouth in my throat
I feel the burn of all those tears
And when I search I find
The feelings have no meaning to them
It’s only 4am and someone’s banging on my head
You steal

Lashes
Dreams of the heartstrings,
Sleeping only in the sun
Wed on a Wednesday, well
There’s two things
The first one-
If only your love,
Wasn’t blotting out the sun
I’m still on your side, but
There’s still only one
Mister, lend your able hand
What do you ask me for?
I believe I used to know
Lady, I’ve not loved you yet
Let your past alone
I believe you deserve more
Tuned to the tight string,
Of the poisoned violins
Two for a Tuesday,
If there were two things,
We only begin-
If only your love,
The destroyer of my days
I’m still on your side, but
There’s still only one way
Mister, I don’t understand
What do you ask me for?
I believe I deserve more
Lady, you’ve not loved me yet
Why do you tax me so?
I believe I deserve more
Lay down
Stay down
I feel the lashes
Seems I’m falling way
Way down (I'll lay down)
Stay down (I'll stay down, my love)
Feeling off sometimes
Well I know, I know, yeah
Changed the locks three times
Well I know, I know, yeah
Blaze it up my friends
‘cause I know, I know, yeah
I feel the lashes
Seems I’m falling way
Way down (I'll lay down)
Stay down (I'll stay down, my love)
I feel
I feel
I can lay down my body and die
I’ll forget my name
Give up all my dreams
I will lay down my life
If you need me to

Open, Dead and Doomed
Eyes. My tormentor’s alive, yet, and sees.
Then hear us say
There is a truth
I will do
What the spirits say

Beloved

Beloved
Doll face to head case
What of our intentions for the sun?
If you say I never belonged, well
Honey, you’d be wrong
You’d be dead
Hold on to what you believe
Is sacred
Bow down, admit your defeat
Just walk home
Breathe in, it may be your last
We are rusting
So far from where we’ve been
Severed
Three sides
Yours and mine
Now the truth
You’re part of the problem
Blood for soiled gold
A gilded donkey
A million sold
In the mouth of a tragedy
What your king stole
The sins that make us men
The weight that our elders carry
We fall into this hole
Up to our necks we’re buried
Complicated by our own loves
We’ll stop this with our sons
Freezing
And there’s nothing here to light my way
It’s kept me so lost, but I found out why
You’re bleeding
And your trail has led me astray
It makes no sense
Why can’t we stay the same way we’ve been
Beloved
Since we are falling
Will you lay down with me
Child you were born with this bleeding heart
Not your fault,
You were set up from the start
I realized I could never lift you high enough
At least I tried
And with no returns implied
But its alright
I know that I will get by
I know, I will
It was so long ago, after all
Beloved
The truth will never fall from your lips
I never stole your light
What you won't see is that it ever glows
This dream you've carried so long
And there's no time to draw these enemy lines
And still you do
It hurts so bad my love, even still
Beloved
The truth that ever falls on deaf ears
Naïve
I thought I'd sleep
Let my dreams chase after me
How could I have known
I would dig my own hole
Thank back to all I've seen
Seldom pure and never clean
This can't be all it means
Not what I've seen
Think fast to what I heard
Honey my whole life blurred
To your choice of meaningful words
Die with your pride
Freaky falling freight
Freaky thrall free for all
The/Why blade/do won’t/you lie/rely
Once, twice again
The/Die kings/with blind/your eye/pride
Freaky falling freight
Freaky thrall free for all
Forever defeats been building inside (Why do you rely?)
My foot’s on your throat now
Have you lost your reason?
Uncharacteristically low
Maybe laughed it away
Uncharacteristically low
Cut the string, I’ll fall

Flame High
Its been a long lonesome dawn
Its been a long lonely dawn, I know
You've been a low-down, a lowly old dog
You've been a low, loathsome dog, I know
Even alone now, lonely old walk
You've been alone, along a lonely dawn, I know you
Been a low-down, lowly old dog
You've been alone, a low, lowly dog, I know you
Bars on the cradle, your tactics are obscene
My heart's off the table, my freedom my freedom
Redemption of my life
Flame high
The medium falls from the chair to the floor
He's filled up
He's spilled out
We don't need him anymore, for
The ectoplasm cum
Hell high
The winter is endless under the frozen drone
We keep on pretending
You feast on my bones
The ashes of my life
Flame high
Cast your crowns
You throw your riches to the ground
(These filthy holes were dug while blind)
You know the drill
You take your temper down
(No remorse for those that lie, forsaking lives)
Cast your cracken-call
Your riches scatter to the floor, or
(They grab and claw until they find)
You know the drill
You can't come home no more
(Even less)
I won't need your money
And I will not say please
I won't need the weekend
Daddy I'll have no need for
The flaming human heart
Held high
I welcome the end and I welcome the peace
I welcome the release of your memory, love
The lightning in your touch
Flame high
Now it hurts to die, but I'm not cold anymore
I feel no connection to the meat on the floor, nor
The ashes of my life
Flame high
The night has fallen
Take only what you can carry on your own, child
You best your belief in love
Would you take your temper down
Or you can't come home anymore
