I gave you all I could not give myself
Before obscurity took it away
Then winter came and twisted its name
The essences of life unfurl, and fall in line
I dug a hole in search of mountains
With bated breath and shattered hands
I only ask for one of thousands
Twilight lends itself to daybreak
No! The stage is set
And curtain call is nigh
I see your world is fading
But your eyes will deny
Come tonight
You will find your
Eyes are blind to sacrifice
You dare not stray away from me
The sky is mine
You dare not stray away from me
In my hands I hold your mind
This life defined
And cast aside
You hold what I need to take what is mine
Now! The stage is set
And curtain call is nigh
I see your nature has its way
Of casting out the night
But tonight you will find your
Mind exiled in paradise
I dug a hole in search of mountains
With bated breath and shattered hands
I only ask for one of thousands
Hope springs only night
And finite splendors
No! The stage is set
And curtain call is nigh
Even the brightest future trembles in the wake of my demise
Paralyzed, I resign my mind, and life
To the stars

From Nothing
04:13

These walls scream in deafening disarray
With mantras ingrained in matter grey
A future forged in silence
As you decay
A stumble in the right direction
Just speaking through me
Don't say why
Don’t let your shadow fall here
The gold you wear is coal to me
From nothing comes the air you breathe
Masquerade
Running away
Only way to ease the pain
Walk on the edge of a razor
Praying for sleep again
Out of lies, out of pages to burn
Out of mind you are free from concern
Bastions bathed in fire
Your pain is my desire
Alone in my perception
Trapped in the mire of isolation
Don’t let your shadow fall here
The gold you wear is coal to me
From nothing comes the air you breathe

Nightfall
Stifles
The garish light from bleeding through the cracks
Gazing out but the sky is empty now
As shadows dance across the waves
When all the senses fail
We question once again
Where is the center of all
All you feel is just an echo
Of reflecting tension
Revolting apprehension
Unwilling to face what’s to come
Lucidity dissolves
Take me
Break me apart
Erase the lines
Pull me out of this diluvian despair
Sacrifice the lies
Traded for the painful truth
Take me to the stars
In shifting pressure, silence
In brilliant light, I’m blind
Sensations lost in time
Perception freed from mortal trials
All you feel is just an echo
Of reflecting tension
Revolting apprehension
Unwilling to face what’s to come
Beyond dispassion
Nothing, there’s nothing, there’s nothing new to see
Nothing, there’s nothing, there’s nothing new to hear
Nothing, there’s nothing, there’s nothing new to feel
Nothing, there’s nothing, there’s nothing new to taste
Nothing, there’s nothing, there’s nothing new to know
Now suffer

Ask me if I recall anything from the cold
Tell me the end of the mystery
I know what is meant to be said
But it’s not what’s in my head
And I’m dreamless again
Will you save me someday
Will you stay
If I’m sleeping, leave me be
If I’m dying, know i’m free
All of existence entwined in scars
Be it so
We are the finite and the damned
Lost within the pages
Of a book I never read
Eyes pricked with tears as I crumble
Rest your weary head now my friend
Whisper to me gently
And let me dream again
The kiss of maddening moonlight
The suffocating mind
The purest night dissolved in spite of empathy
Don’t go
I wish I had the answers
I wish i had the time
Will you save me someday
Will you stay
If I’m sleeping, leave me be
If I’m dying, know i’m free
All of existence entwined in scars
Be it so
We are the finite and the damned

One
One more night to extol
And relish in awe
As the silence
Stifles your light from us all
I see nothing of myself
In everything you are
I try and fail
Where nothing but grace was known
Lost in the shadow of self
Consumed
And shattered
By doubt
And I
Kiss the edge of what we know
Clouded by blistering tears
I can see
Things are just as they seem
Only night can reveal where to go
And singular meaning of self
These wandering stars hold visions
Of what’s left in the wake
I find comfort
In my distance from the sun
Beyond these empty skies
Only clarity remains
Love
Discover
Failure
Suspended in a memory
From this world

Skein of Delusions
05:58
|

Time bleeds away
Inside the confines of a withered heart
Why must we divide along an arbitrary line
Gaunt and frail a self inflicted crime
Away from here’s the way to go
The charlatan brings only countless broken dreams
Calamity and a failed necrocracy
The color fades
And what is seen is washed away
Impurity courses through splintered veins
Behold the wasteland and the bleeding rose
Fading away
Cast out the dreams in which you stay awake
Behold the skein of delusions
Stand alone before an unforgiving shrine
Out of time
Deny, Devour
I am a creature
Consuming, lusting
For memories of beauty and grace
A psychotic hunger
Envelopes that which we love
Revoking the future of hope
Bow before the fall
Swift and vengeful
Tip the hourglass
Leave your ignorance
You fool
You coward
Deceiver
Behold the wasteland and the bleeding rose
Fading away
Cast out the dreams in which you stay awake
Behold the skein of delusions

We find ourselves behind closed doors
And what we see is what we say we know
Could it be that knowing
Is second to feeling
When all I’ve ever felt or known
Is the fear of pain, shame, and loss
I’ll find the spirit of the outside
In search of everlasting suns
The death of time is death of power
I know what’s locked behind the gates
Of dormant minds unchained
In this escape
The eons cry for me
And lead the way
The body mind and soul
Lie comatose in embers
The air is turning stagnant
I surface from the depths and speak
I’ll find the spirit of the outside
In search of everlasting suns
The driving figmint of a master
Is just a solitary dream
The dormant minds unchained
The curtain call is nigh
Don’t let your shadow fall here
Lucidity dissolving
The suffocating mind
Within these empty skies
The skein will come undone

My Kingdom

My Kingdom
My hell created in the haze of the cynics eye
A far cry from the decadence of your time
Burn me
Reduce me (to ashes)
Raw matter
Cold and sentient
I alone
Find the darkness
That lies beneath
Am I free
Your arms wrapped around me
As I’m crushed by the weight of the world
The blood has soaked to deep to see
The essence of light again
Alive or reliving a memory
A thousand ways to see me fade
One last time
Rivers flow to an empty sea
Only fear is there to greet me
Utopia defaced
By a familiar gait
Counting the moments between breaths
Await the final pull
Wishing that you could waste
Your final moments with me
I can not see beyond
These wandering stars
Yet here I am free
Your arms wrapped around me
As I’m crushed by the weight of the world
The blood has soaked to deep to see
The essence of light again
Alive or reliving a memory
A thousand ways to see me fade
One last time
