i am
i am by myself for needs sake
i will no longer watch out for more than one shadow
i am high on loneliness and drifting long
i am hurting because it is my most receptive sense
my pain is the best tool i have to pacify my pain
i bleed to satisfy and validate the sentiment
my mind has been reinfected with the darkness
my words are rising fail tainted and pointless
and once again i find tears to be the only way
to truly communicate my heart
but there will be no tears
my sadness it appears
is inwardly borne and retasked daily

progress report
there's a crack in my mind where lucid me is leaking out
the more i say i'm doing fine the more i see convicting doubt
i tried to close the breach that is bringing me unstuck
but the crack's too wide to stop the flow and i'm shit outta luck

f**k
the nauseating odour of soulrot lines my skin
as my senses seep from many wounds
tired eyes stare heavy through the blood roads
landing hard on tepid veins splayed critically thin
my emotional haze has been chemically razed
i've embraced the patron of harm
i've lit all the fuses and i dance in the fire
to make my nightmares relatively calm
tracks of my intention lie the valley of flesh
vilifying destruction in one ml depressions
volition is listed and prone to stalk the line
between my downfall and better intentions
you'd be...

love stories
i've found without doubt that i would die for you
and that's just lovely but i've found out something more
that if i would die for you then maybe i could live for you
because you've showed me that the love i have is yours
so i've been thinking i could love you like a trilogy
with all the mystery of the story not yet told
i'll be your king, be my queen and govern love with me
we'll write an epic to swoon the lovers told of old
and maybe i could love you like a manual of war
with smart defences and strong reserves to calm the fight
but there's a...

inequitable
love is a chameleon
that continually changes
how it appears
so you think you are looking
at something you haven't
seen before
clever really
but then
it's actually just the same
reptilian hunter it's always been
i'm just no smarter than a bug
that continually changes
how it appears
so you think you are looking
at something you haven't
seen before
clever really
but then
it's actually just the same
reptilian hunter it's always been
i'm just no smarter than a bug

not enough candles
keep a candle burning for the kids that can't go home
because of danger from their family they'll spend tonight alone
in the cold and dark at the edge of the parks under the bridges and out of sight
there are children having to decide right now where they are going to sleep tonight
he's eight years old and it's his family that are the cause of all his harm
his mother holds him still while her boyfriend injects heroin in his arm
he only sees his father twice a year and he's always drunk
he still has a black eye and fear in his heart from when he visited last...

farewell dreaming (longing to be mist)
i've been harbouring a dream where you find a love that doesn't question
one that gives you every little thing you wish
and with all of my heart i hope that you are smiling
and feeling a love just like this
i hope your eyes have turned from all that has happened
and you find peace in the life you create
i hope you feel safe like you're in the arms of every angel
and have all the happiness that one girl can take
i hope the one that you run to pays the mind to hear your dreams
and holds you longer than you say that you require
and i hope the...

cynosure
i due surrender will
to sway with the gravity of flow
and release design to be tasked by time
because it knows what i don't know
so surrendered i set my road
for a heart that beats alone
into her halcyon embrace i flow
my love my cicerone
to sway with the gravity of flow
and release design to be tasked by time
because it knows what i don't know
so surrendered i set my road
for a heart that beats alone
into her halcyon embrace i flow
my love my cicerone

shadowboxer
shadows will outlast
the monsters underneath your bed
when the monsters choose to cease
the shadows will follow you instead
now a shadow from the past
is flesh and blood inside my head
and tonight i pray to find some peace
instead of fighting with the dead
the monsters underneath your bed
when the monsters choose to cease
the shadows will follow you instead
now a shadow from the past
is flesh and blood inside my head
and tonight i pray to find some peace
instead of fighting with the dead

there are those beyond our means
we are beyond the means of some
in the dark our screams all mean the same
and by this means we are one
we are beyond the means of some
in the dark our screams all mean the same
and by this means we are one

cinder road
i fell hard to her crushing pretensions
she struck low and serenaded my descent
my eyes had been closed to the spark of deceit
that ignited this fire of contempt
i asked if she knew what it meant to be betrayed
how it causes your memories to bleed
that when you suffocate slowly by humiliation
you feel pain just trying to breath
her unshielded show of apathetic repent
was the shrapnel that shredded my heart
i never considered that she'd be the one
who would smile as she ripped me apart
drinking the ghostwrites of yesterdays...
