Hear the distant rattle

Face the end of time

Faded carbon copy

Imperfect but alive

Forever cracked reflection

Distorts as years go by

Gone but not forgotten

The echo slowly dies

My final memory

The last of me to see

Existence dwindling

My final memory

Returning into nothing

I finally feel alright

No more life of anger

The bitterness subsides

Becoming more untethered

Floating into night

Redacte...

I can’t find the words to say

Repetition is to blame

Nothing ever feels the same

And I just wanna stop

I know it’s good for my brain

But man, it’s driving me insane

Translate feelings, mostly pain

A time for taking stock

Fuck these lines

Fuck these rhymes

Fuck, I’ve wasted all my time

I don’t know and I don’t care

Why would you, an unheard prayer

This thing called art I may forswear

Eternal wri...

Ancient golden god appears

Running circles in my mind

Without fail, scorching life

In your love I so reside

Worship the sky

Watch the sun die

Worship the sky

Watch the sun die

Feel your warmth upon my skin

Your kiss upon my cheek

A blissful fading gaze of woe

Your presence growing bleak

Worship the sky

Watch the sun die

Worship the sky

Watch the sun die

Take your final bow

Your race is ever ra...

Sweet scent of heavy cedar

Bathe the darkness of my mind

Memories like rising bubbles

Churning in the flow of time

I can be myself again

In a world so wild and free

A place before I’d been so burdened

The River wound so peacefully

So saudade

So saudade

So saudade

Healing wounds I’ve so sustained

Within your cool and damp embrace

Your clacking rocks, skipping the stones

To relearn ways I’ve sinc...

Those who point the finger

Telling right from wrong

The high and mighty linger

Reigning for far too long

Money-hungry gluttons

Far beyond reproach

Flaunt without reluctance

As our deaths approach

When the leaders fail

Who will light the way

No more men for sale

No more bribes today

Armies of officials

Marching for their cause

Drag the guiltless with them

Into open jaws

Caring not for people

Li...

The desert’s silence held ancient whispers

Cloaked in mystery

Her words lit into me like fire

Begging me to see

I was wandering alone

Within her warm embrace

Her blackest nights of sparkling eyes

And days of brutal hate

At once I thought I felt her love

Her breath against my cheek

But sweetness turned to bitter ash

As dust beneath my feet

Her beauty and her siren song

My heart she held so near

Ill...

Breathing in

Crack my mind

Open wide up to the sky

Let the universe flood in

Focusing

Sharpening

Connecting to the everything

There is still respite to find

Suddenly I’m ten feet tall

Bump the ceiling, room too small

These five minutes last forever from inside

Peaceful calm

Lubbing dub

Aching heart can feel the love

That has been so self-denied

Far afield

Sense unreal

I am it and it is me

And ...

Burdened by such guilt and woe

Thoughts of pain are haunting so

Heart of darkness starts to show

In a grip as cold as snow

Trapped in fury down below

To escape, I’d beg or borrow

Left my conscience long ago

One less piece of heavy cargo

I want to feel, I want to know

I want to love, I want to grow

I want to feel, I want to know

I want to love, I want to grow

Oh to be back in the flow

How my so...

Staring long into the night

A tapestry so warm and bright

To bathe yourself in such dead light

Forgetting that which isn’t right

The briefest glimpse into your soul

Could pull me from the darkest hole

But you decry my self-control

For your good favor, I cajole

And reaching out a hand so bold

As if to grasp a love untold

The sky full of stars seemed dead and cold

A place once so magical now hurt ...

Through the branches, dim light shines

Cool and crisp, a peace resides

Smell of fir, a scent divine

Within the forest of my mind

Settling on wilted leaf

A misty blanketed retreat

In nature there is sweet relief

A place where I can feel complete...
