Unnatural

Empty all the contents
Confess, clear your conscience
No catches
No broken fingers
Nothings out of hand
To hold on to
Put a hole in your butterfly net
No catches
Blood fed butterflies
A trick of the eye
Going where you flow
Uphill, can’t be unnatural
Can’t be unnatural
Cause here we are
Empty all the contents
Inward you scavenge what was slain
What remains, without decay
Confess, clear your conscience
No catches
The desires multiply faster
Here we are
Here we are
No broken fingers
Nothings out of hand
To hold on to
Blood fed butterflies
A trick of the eye
Going where you flow
Uphill, can’t be unnatural
Can’t be unnatural
Cause here we are

To hear the words in a voice not your own
To the see the fears dance in the throes
Nothing goes unnoticed
Stay on your toes
Ghostly and hollow
Controlled by vices, the echoes
The tying of yourself in knots inside
Fighting amongst the senses
Twitching with tension
Severed ears, no one else hears
Just for my ears
They only want you for one thing
Made my voice foreign
Make yourself up, make it beautiful
Unclench your teeth
The hands from over your ears
The hands tearing at you
Picking at your skin, like birds to roadkill
The voice like a light beam
Walking around without my skin
Mingling I feel everything
But can’t name or label the missing
To hear the words in a voice not your own
To the see the fears dance in the throes
Nothing goes unnoticed
Stay on your toes

Mirror talk
Asking for the voice that isn’t strangled
The one that doesn’t crack
Holding back, holding back
The mystery tears
The one way down in the back
Caught off guard by the creeping emotion
Cause I can’t lie to myself
It hurts, like hell
They’ll take you for all that you’ve got
So, I put it out of my head
Blessed with fear
The gods and the devils conspired
Taste and touch just right
The balance of the light
This is just right for me
You are alright with me
Mirror talk telling reflections
The blow before the roll of the dice
Seeing all you can’t see
Asking for the voice that isn’t strangled
The one that doesn’t crack
Holding back, holding back
The mystery tears
The one way down in the back
Blessed with fear
The gods and the devils conspired
Taste and touch just right
The balance of the light
This is just right for me

I’ve got a problem
I need to hear it in your words not mine
I can’t look myself in the eyes
If I solve yours, I’ll solve mine
Because mine I keeps escaping
Starring off into space
Healing time
So vicarious
So precarious
I need to see it from outside
Here is where the problem hides
Under your nose, under your clothes
The same roof
Too close for comfort
The ins and outs are sticky
It never started none to be
So, it never stops
I’ve got a problem
I used to want out
I need to hear it in your words not mine
I can’t look myself in the eyes
If I solve yours, I’ll solve mine
I used to want out
But I keep escaping to new places
So, it never stops

Hyde

Come to terms
Find the words
A needle in a haystack
I walked right into the knife
To the slaughter
The fallen surround me
It’s written on me
The wound’s blinking back
Black glass, my blood
Driven to hyde, hyde
Creeping in the night
Slowly, slowly
Floor don’t creak where I reside
Don’t, don’t
Be caught even in the streaks of moonlight
I whisper to the house
You give me up tonight
Don’t you give me up tonight
Alarm the wind, or set fires
Leave me black in your wake
The energies fight
At odds with my temples
Like fireworks
Doctor, doctor please, please
No nevermind
Jekyll, my, my mind
Dark inside, so dark outside
Find the light
Driven to hyde, hyde
Creeping in the night
Slowly, slowly
Floor don’t creak where I reside
Don’t, don’t
Be caught even in the streaks of moonlight
I whisper to the house
You give me up tonight
Don’t you give me up tonight

Crying in Reverse
02:13
|

Big plans tonight
Time to make you and leave you behind
We dine in on sorrows and binds
Like the plants, flowers, and leaves
Hung to dry from the ceiling
Crying in reverse
You put this storm in me
That now rains from my eyes
That pains me so to point of crying
White noise rings in my ears
Questioning my life
Hunt me down to make me bleed
Tearing me apart from the inside out with my weaknesses
No time to think twice
My fingers, fire and ice
You put this storm in me
Where’s the responsibility
Shaking me
Crying in reverse
You put this storm in me
That rages in the cages and the caves of me
Sunk me to wet cement
So, we can’t forget
So, we won’t forget
When the sky is empty

Nightfall

Take the weather
Answer my calls
I can’t fight it off
So, I let it fall
Close my eyes for the embrace of the dark
Force of the hit with the hurt that took me down
The weight of the walls cracking
Brace for the fall
Curling in to bury me, standing tall
Avalanche with no mark
Down with bravado
Bottled up
Until I choke on my thoughts
Like the smoke the feeling
Pretend its nightfall
No one can hear me cry
Saving face but I’m dying inside, I’m dying inside
Blink twice to clear the redness and tear from my eyes
This is the last time, I said last time
I can’t fight it off
So, I let it fall
The rain is piercing sharp
Close my eyes for the embrace of the dark
The wind is lashing
Force of the hit with the hurt that took me down
The weight of the walls cracking, cracking
Just keep your eyes closed
Brace for the fall
Curling in to bury me, standing tall
Avalanche with no mark
Down with bravado
Bottled up
Until I choke on my thoughts
Like the smoke the feeling
Pretend its nightfall
No one can hear me cry, care or wonder why
Saving face but I’m dying inside, I’m dying inside

Prisoner

Before without feeling
Now with a newfound meaning
The grip of the feeling something dead weight
The sight of a dream so disheartening
Please tell me I’m dreaming
This déjà vu
I felt before
Tender, tender numb to the pain
Now sore
Forgive me seeming without feeling
I swore I saw it in a dream
It just came to me
I can’t hold it my prisoner
It was meant to be free
It never belonged to me really, really
Just a passing thing
Before without feeling
Stamp out this love for the captor
Now with a newfound meaning
The grip of the feeling something dead weight
The sight of a dream so disheartening
Prisoner I can’t keep you
Please tell me I’m dreaming
This déjà vu
I felt before
Tender, tender numb to the pain
Now sore
Forgive me seeming without feeling
If I have to ask, it’s probably true
I swore I saw it in dream
Tell me what this means
Somethings hunting me
The things I seek
Hunger with fasting feeling

Straight to it
Fishing through the room
Swimming through the mood
Pull me through
No small talk
I try to capture your eye
Full time
But I’m tired of trying, so hard
I’m tired of the guilt
And shame I feel for feeling as I do
As I do for existing, just being in the room
When there are cliffs to jump
And rivers to drown myself in never to be seen again
I’m drawn
To meet the grim that makes my end
It’s been too long if I’m with you
You’re not real if I’m not with you
And that’s how you make me feel
Back to things that hold as much of me as I do as them
Things come together under my hands
A charm, a spell, pulling me through
When there are cliffs to jump
And rivers to drown myself in never to be seen again
I’m drawn
To meet the grim that makes my end
It’s been too long
