After The Burial

We stray learning balance between time Your innocence emanates but wisdom still ignored Quiet and calm a wordless devotion you share Our thought like wind Remind us of what we were We're killing the purest, in disbelief we often lie And when you bloom...

We jump from dream to dream, being to being Same model, different world Same places, different shores We explore each other's eyes Drifting passengers outsiders searching for it Windows to worlds One piece of the puzzle in the same picture Tumble and pe...

The secret's out this is the last time. Cast overboard, dragged out to sea. All premonitions drowned today in the murky waters flowing from wounds. But we emerged soaked in grace, dripping with the truth. You've fired upon a target so clear, but we..ve shatter...

Creator as Observer congruent systems collapsing mutating waveforms to become sight sound touch. A sick perception is now my only link to reality sorched eternally blistering yet I prevail. My merciless plan of creation etails seeing the unseen forge an abomin...

Where do we begin We are lost We are polluted (x2) Where do we begin When everything is wrong we just forget Move along and we play pretend Surround your life, with silver and gold Your tinsel dreams and the make believe Deconstructed and paralyzed so...

I am a shadow slipping into the abyss A part of me that will never leave Just to remind me of who I have grown to be Pulling me side to side It won't forget me I'm watching where I step So I don't fall between the cracks An anti-pattern in disbelief I can't...

Victim of anger tied to distance. Where does it come from? Distrust I've stood strong held my head high through constant war. So brutal so violent. So I tiptoe through conversation a lapse in my step is misperceived Unleash a breath of salvation in dormancy li...

Eternal fury - the wrath within Scorched by the fires that sent me Battle on into the night In shallow graves - they will suffer Smash everything around you, it's all yours if you wish Give and take in the palm of your hand Return us all where we begin...

On your guard as you lurk along the sand. A paper face won't mask your fear. Unrelenting consequences for this inquisition. Venture forth and give yourself away with the scent of unfamiliarity for razor teeth their human silk they long to sever unsuspecting fl...

So I'll keep searching For a place called home I'll rip my roots from this earth Into the unknown Is it for the dreams I chased Or the ones I caught This mystery This misery is killing me So now I'll leave behind a murder scene My life isn't real It's just a s...

Sweeping barricades red with rust Quiet this mind abandoned fields of thought Searching for meaning, wandering in opaque Closing my eyes, and let the color in Quiet this mind ignite these fields of thought Everything around me cold and still, searching f...

Collapse We fold in difficult fashion, pinions clipped and forgotten So we grow fray and suffer the cold Like a shiver inside our own reason Your feigned regard a frozen lake I’ll leave you trapped, I hope your winter never ends Replicated errors, we sm...

Awaken ruinous fiend of early generations. Your rotting corpse is restored. Straighten your limbs brush off the dust withered bandages restrain you no more. Severed heads accent the gates bones emerge from the sands proof of your reign remains. I your liege no...

And I was over taken, over whelmed and out of control Visitors on parallel trails, unknowingly bound Blue solitaries deluge, though I felt that I could swim Sight kept on the skyline so we become builders of ships Aiming to be forgotten, waiting for the r...

The sway of distance A suffering march Lives tremble on and on We usher burdens that see us through Blinding light emanates guiding me from within For I am just part of who I was back then Where we were. When this all began Inside this vision I am no longer i...

Oh so fucking cold. The winds the drifts of winter bone chilling nightfall. Early evening sundowns make nights seem more like Borealis dreams. My roots run deep through my veins my ancestry. Everything I know in body and soul lakeland this is all I know look t...

I have been to the edge before, at the end of the world But there is nothing for me so I guess I'll just turn around I will follow my footsteps back home Still the same as before, but there is nothing for me So I Guess I'll just turn around Can't you see that...

The sweltering heat sweeps through the blood, raising internal rage. The escalation of annoyance converts fingers to fists. Ready to smash the moral wall retaining the release, restraining the release. Wash over placid with flooding waves of hate. Diverge the...

These old scars Callous against the touch Maps made of flesh and bone A glacial serenity we find our way Notes scrawled of crimson and blue Sought the light of a dimming existence Unwinding as the ghost of me was pulled away Destroyer of worlds We roa...

Your feminine fingers are like daggers. Tearing me apart, with each caressing stroke. My scars unravel cruel history. Our love was stab wounds and lusty kisses. In your eyes I see wasted tears for wasted years, and heartache, heartfelt for granted. You left me...

Please cut this noose. Untie these hands for me. They will insurrect my former self. Hide behind your failed design. Perfect its imperfections. I'll carry out the plans of old. I'll dig through the remains of my ruins. Unearthing something truly remarkable onc...

Bound with iron chain, solitary feed me to the grey We dig fields of apathy, excavating endless burial mounds Heavy lies the ground I get what I give, so I die where I dig Never go home, just tunnel a hole inside this field of apathy Never giving what I...

Evergreen becomes me Resistant child grown of wood and branch Despondent, lost in flux Distort the images of who I am Searching for fire I felt the fall pulling me back again As seasons changed, I spun the earth My hands felt full of stone and hardened...

So this is loneliness. I..ve grown too fond of this. Now I thirst for loveliness, to drink its beauty. I'll never fill my cup if I can't seem to free my frozen heart. Torturous veins tangle this body. A scream of anguish, silenced by the distancing to anyone....

ever-flowing white ghosts form on my fingertips balanced in peace, dancing in light my grip blooms and blossoms forever more incubated, in silence we find tranquility distilled into memories, we shut off, retired among the infinite we aim for balance sta...

And in the end I will show you that this life is only madness Can we filter out the toxicity and find worth in the static? We build and build We forget the model We design the madness and we paint it gold Swarming and spiraling burning at both ends A bl...

We feel so much better here below Down here where the eyes are yellow and gold We rot inside out, we crack and flake Nothing is better than deep down below My whole mouth brimming of leaves, submerged and gasping for air Let the earth swallow me whole...

I remember your taste You're the life I gave away Failure wrapped around my neck You're the ghost that held me back Now I am letting go Drowning myself in the frozen waters I feel the words escaping They break from my thoughts and disappear from my mouth They...

In the twisting, I see myself Pixelated. Construed. I am reaching out For something, for me to hold on to But I never do. Failing- I never will Some things just do not exist And some days I'll be the evoked of The hope for a landing, for safety But the synaps...

Misery- I wanted to forget you But five years later I have grown I have regret You were better deserved. But we all learn Hands to broken mirrors. We shattered our design You were always so easy for me. To leave in ruins Those nine summers we burned together...

Underwater There is no chance of breathing inside this vessel Blue lipped and anemic We are constantly questioning our safety So much pressure. We struggle I just want to give in Please help me To keep the waters from crashing over me This ship is sinking. My...

I'm falling away from myself away from who I used to be. Arid skin cracked and torn. I peel it away. A change for the better to harness the strength and rise more powerful. Now more powerful than ever. A decrepit self once animate now abandoned and left to rot...

Consign myself away I've built myself with molten steel My skeletal hands are wired and worn I'm becoming a compound so I push and pull Electric currents replace blood cells Eccentric circuits my soul connects Spheric and strong I no longer break down I canno...

Breathing I am fading I feel I am losing myself Wishing I could be someone I'm not I know somewhere there's a mirror that can show me who I am Because I will never know Constantly bending Engulfed by my history So scared of letting go Beyond everything I wish...

Where have I been? Blearing pacific winds Crossing foothills, constructing stories Ruptured earth guiding me home Romantic fault lines A bridge's quake in my bones A place we called home A distance we have learned Pull me in, and help me out I want to swim am...

This is my promise to write to you So for you my every word Is the sinking feeling here in my chest I am so far from home but the further away we are the closer I am The closer I feel, the further you get My hands hold on tight to your every word I won't let g...

Hopeful, a design we forget Lost in translation of yesterday Sunk in worrisome sand Futures slip away, and we forget We focus on the present we overlook the loved Meaningless beautiful days banked away Sifting through the rot of carrion memories We let...

A thousand times too many times I've fallen back out of place from a dream. The bright sunlight a rude awakening like I'm seeing the colors leave the brush for the wall. That's when, into: I reach into memories I long to re-live those times those younger days....

When the bite of the steel catches your face, give it all your flesh to strip away. Revealing all the scars you hide inside. Your inner quarrels, your struggle to survive. A crimson hand to choke your throat. I..ll stop your breath as long as it takes. To end...

I fold, I give into myself Let these tendril branch out and wrap around me No longer a motive inside this drift Learning to let go of the great resist Forever a mortal man, and nothing else A mortal man, and nothing else Reflecting as life hands you lif...

I could never find a way to rest upon your shoulders Misunderstood, please help but I meant so well I keep pushing through these bitter memories I try to to escape the nightmares but they are becoming of me I am the sleeping dream inside the dream My old me br...

I’ve watched the lamplights fade, a flare trembles and quivers that kept me safe warm concrete streets, I used to call home laid in brick and broken stone so a merchant I'll stay staying caught in the sway of the break set aflame, set aflame, set aflame...

Eyes flare, this glow becomes our lanterns We are searching for truth, but find dust and dirt Though sight falls hard, trudge headfirst and forget what matters Caught in the trample of the tow, bones scrape against the asphalt Gaze into the depth and try t...

Every time your lips spill their poisonous words, they infect the ones you claimed to have cared for. We are gored by your serrated ways. We shed our faith, we've bled oceans for your cause. We shed our faith in your atrocity. We..ve come to claim a thousand l...

This is where you pick yourself up brush off the ashes. Clear the smoke and soot from your eyes. Their word brings desperation just look around you. Renewed vision reveals the lies. My truth will be my own. You say it doesn't matter get used to fear. I tell yo...

Was it worth anything? So much time wasted cut the lights out and I felt alone Choking on self-inflicted agony as I was stranded Everything flickered so far away An illusion built with my own hands See past the waving colors and lights Beyond the edge wh...

Who we are I'll never know But when we spoke I knew you well You knew me well You loved me through and through I never thought I would watch you leave us From a room as a kid I held so close I was a son made up on sand You were the wind that let me go I'll say...

Bleed for a lifetime, but remain fixed To challenge existence and Push through the bleak to find the end And in my head, the mystery of man And in my head, we'll see the brighter days Eyes blaze through lifetimes A visionary's dream come to being Chase...

We disappear from our thoughts and sounds Our features- abrasive So many things we overlook Is there something that we don't know? That over time. We're over time Wrought with dysfunction, and callous minds So take the knife within my heart Sharpen it with wa...

The waking hour of scarlet warfare, I will fight for you. Our blood will wash away. Their skin will crack and peel in a thousand fires. We will break every bone, we will crush them all to dust. An attempt so frivolous to save your life. Watch you hit the sangu...

When I return I dream of another life Failure transparent in the palm of my hand I am the contortionist We are the contortionists I can feel this distance is further and farther without you Contorting to fit somewhere I do not belong Brick by brick Stone on to...
