Farewell

I just can’t be it
Leave me behind,
I don’t want to go
with you
unless they go
But they won’t
They’re far too inwards to understand
situations out of hand
But they know
there’s no answer
I can’t do what they all
want you
to do

So now
we’ll lose
everything we start to keep
for our lives
Their hands
I don’t see that they will change
for you
and your good will
They take what they can
for themselves’ own ends
Believe
A victim
A last farewell
and we shall run

Medicine

The medicine is all we need
to keep us away and hidden
We can only see the sunset
We can never see the sunrise

In our funny little homes
we’re really quite alone
We’re just a sitting target
for your superiority

But the medicine is all we need
to keep us away and hidden
We can only see the sunset
We can never see the sunrise

At the Soundless Dawn

Alone and unaware, the landscape was transformed in front of our eyes.  Buildings began to stretch wide across the sky, and the air filled with a reddish glow.  The soundless dawn came alive as cities began to mark the horizon.  Mechanical sounds cascaded through the city walls and everyone reveled in their ignorance.  A brief moment of clarity broke through the deafening hum, but it was too late.  Our happiest days slowly began to turn into dust.  The sixth extinction crept up slowly, like sunlight through the shutters, as we looked back in regret…

Sedatives

All the favors
The favors that you pull
Will be repaid
Repaid in more than full
Just close your mind
Because nothing’s really worth it
Just close your mind
Does that not feel so good?

So we litter the land
What we don’t need we want
You give life and then don’t feed it
It’s all smothered beauty

All the favors
The favors that you pull
Will be repaid
Repaid in more than full
Just close your mind
Because nothing’s really worth it
Just close your mind
Does that not feel so good?

So we litter the land
What we don’t need we want
You give life and then don’t feed it
It’s all smothered beauty

All the favors
The favors that you pull
Will be repaid
Repaid in more than full
Just close your mind
Because nothing’s really worth it
Just close your mind
Does that not feel so good?

So we litter the land
What we don’t need we want
You give life and then don’t feed it
It’s all smothered beauty

I lay in my bed and put my headphones on and feel completely alone.

Silas’ Knife

Reaching arms, a tree at night
Burnt and black, it stole the light
And you know what it is that I feel
And you know what it is that I feel

And when your fingers pull and fight
They braid and weave inside
Making planes and trees ignite
Destroying all that they feel

Growing bright above the planes
What has happened to the weight?
And you know what it is that I feel
And you know what it is that I feel
When your fingers pull and fight
They braid and weave inside
Making planes and trees ignite
Destroying all that they feel

Are we so right we stopped searching
Are we so lost we stopped walking
Are we so right we stopped searching
Are we so lost we stopped walking
Are we so lost
Are we so lost

 

Cold in this soil
and longing for your embrace
Growing old
as time takes what’s left in state
Then
the trees
are brown
and we all sleep

Heart filled with love
Despairing, descending day
Will they take
Both hands will wrest away
Flesh
and bone
and time
will free us

Exploding with leaves,
the wind is the painter’s brush
Finding lines
and filling the heart with love
Down,
the trunk,
the roots
will feed…

You cannot hide yourself

Trying to be Human is exhausting and disappointing and obnoxious.

Everyone just wants chances to condescend and be superior.   Frontal lobes don’t exist anymore.

Conqueror

Always shine
Always shine
Always shine bright down on me

Mother Earth
Mother Earth
Mother Earth, take the pain away

All we are
All we are
All we are we’ll never be

Always shine
Always shine
Always shine bright down on me

Mother Earth
Mother Earth
Mother Earth, take the pain away
away
away
away
away
away
away
away

All the ghosts that haunt us don’t scare
We’re just too selfish to be that aware

Why believe yourself
Why believe yourself

Dull clouds line the pathways to ugly skylines
Rivers flow to grey buildings
Sweet air
Bitter taste

Why believe yourself
Why believe yourself
Why believe yourself
Why believe yourself
Why

The Package

Time to feed the monster
I don’t need another friend
Comfort is a mystery
crawling out of my own skin
Just give me what I came for
and I’m out the door again

Lie to get what I came for
Lie to get just what I need
Lie to get what I crave
Lie and smile to get what’s mine

Thinking of a new tattoo to get has reminded me why I chose to have tattoos in the first place.

 

Aphorismical individuation.

 

I’ve always built my own philosophy.  I’ve always conceptualized my own society.  I’ve always lived my own life.
