Haunted

Fury of the scorned

The walls go up

Keeping me in

Keeping you out

A line in the sand

Whipped by the wind

Washed by the tide

Your empty apologies 

I am sorry meant so little

I am sorry meant so much

The distance between us

The crevice get bigger

The crevice gets smaller

Time heals all wounds

Doesn't take away the scars

Doesn't take away the reminder

The walls go up

Keeping me in

Keeping you out

A line in the sand

Whipped by the wind

Washed by the tide

A message from Vegas

Saying hello

Saying good bye

Time runs out

You have lost the right to know

You have lost the right to decide

Washing Memories

washing this memory clean

A crazy addiction left behind

Pretending life is real

Making real people seem normal

Judging the actions of the refined

Cutting the edge off the melanoma 

Your god making it divine

Stoking your fame

Causing a scene

Starting as friends

With sins on your mind

Narcissists screams the loudest

Thinking this is morphine crazy  
putting a mad dog down

Nasty trials in aisles

Cruelty a tool to distract

Can the river man ever

spend his coins

Go out and have a fun time

Washing this memory clean

A crazy addiction left behind

Feeling the highlights 

Pretending life is real

Don't care if you cry

Walking across this river of sighs

The wreckage piling up

Echoing Silence

Echoing silence

Waiting to know

What disease crept in?

A silence that will not let go

Hurting the ears

Cause the silence is too loud

Saving the world

As only one can do

Leaving one or two lingering words

Running away

Feeling like I have been tossed aside

One of the disposable people

Some one’s throwaway dude

Confirming what I already knew

Good enough to deliver the meds

Fill in an affidavit or two

Dying a minute at a time

Like it is such a good time

Confirming what I already know

Is there any happy people

Are we all rejection damaged

Hanging on the slightly used rack

At a second hand store

The best before date sun faded

Using a fake name

Torbulent Descent

Descent

 Dependable without comfort

As every thing else

It wanes over time

The vibrations shake you up

Shook the senses right out of you

Convince the illogical otherwise

Smiling delusional staring at the future

Those sanctimonious half truths

Deserving the real 

As it was meant to be

Unintended consequences

Harsh encrypted messages

As the count down continues

Eleven minutes to go

Pushing the throttle forward

Towards a controlled fall

Pragmatic between the lines

What people get

What they deserve

Who thinks they are god

In a position to make that call

A omnipresent judge

Effected by their own view

Waiting to be solved

I don't think so

It is so mundane

The silence of a long flight

Just before it touches down

The danger of being extinct

Here we go 

Wheels down

Good bye 

And hello

Long days

Getting behind 

The rotten one

The crows look on

Long days 

Eating up the nights

On the road back home

Two days of hard driving

A trip down memory lane

On highway reconstructed

Every house leveled

Rebuilt new

The memories left behind

From a photo album destroyed

Harsh memories faded

Nothing quite the same

A sun shining in one spot

On a carved stone

Like it was meant to be

On a carved stone

Like it was designed

The mask we wear

Torment

Sarcasm free days

Water dripping

Scathing stares

Rotting meat

As the crows feast

Erasing doubt 

Born of miss fortune

To stubborn to die

Long over due 

Expectation never 

The masks we wear

Delivering replies

throwaway lines

Draconian throwaway lines

Meaning everything and nothing

All at the same time

Like Sweet misery

And I love you

Three little words

That wars have been fought over

Calling Paris

Three little words

That flay you open

Every grain of salt burns

An intensity of its own

Throwaway lines

Parting in misery

Driving through takeout

Bridging

Patience of heaven

Underground 

Where no one 

knows your name

Wrapped up

The sounds howls

From the hounds of hell

Bridging Insanity

And locking all the doors

Sober eating dirt

The stairs going up

Follow the trail down

Standing there 

Impatiently wanting to go

Standing still

With every step

With the words 

Don't go 

Floating in the air

Bringing the rain

When is the war over

Who is to blame

A metaphor to cling to

Hanging in ends

Lingering pessimism 

The cries of the maniac 

A weak link of implosion 

The fascism of my religion 

Apolitical relationships 

Giggling in the background 

Hilarious rhetorical

Slowly eaten by a Minotaur

A tribute of shame

Wrapping in a guilt complex

With silence inherited 

Odious repent  

As the world is poised 

Fingers hovering on tigers 

Staring at the DMZ

Clinging to extended metaphors

Chained to a wall

Staring at shadows

The view of the world elongated

Kids in play ground 

Wanting to toss the rock

Bringing the rain

Becoming History

The future matters

The past is behind you

Therefor does not 

When is enough to much

A debt shared of a heart lost

When it is not yours to own

 When dignity gets in the way

Then night carries into day

And days carries into night

Gratitude of breathing the air 

Singing to Jupiter 

And hope is not ones own

Flattery shining under the sun

The future matter

The past is the reason so

A privileged of a few

As they fall like children's toys

Left behind as those of the departed

The result of all the doubt 

Honor painted in red

A cloudy past 

Murky in an Icy haze

The future is more important

It is in future the words written 

Becoming the history

Revelations

Revelations 

A fate already done

Believing in what is right

More then an even bargain

The Barman lines them up

Lighting them up 

one at a time

All in a neat little row

The fire burns long

After the scars have healed 

A heart of vengeance 

A will of its own

Controlled with out oxygen  

A transaction of the unscrupulous

On the edges of honesty 

If honesty is silence

Revelation of defiance 

Followed by I don't know

Because silence can be painful

It has a patience

That needs to be broken

A stoic mask of indifference

For silence means its already done

edible books

Window shopping

One way conversations

With nothing to say

Translating the subconscious

Analyzing in a cannibalistic way  

Eating the words

One letter in time

The rhythm of the bite

Like it’s a rib of delight

The symbolism of logic

Branded on a t-shirt

Flying on the back of dragon

Spelled the same backwards

With that closing the book

The cover upside down

Where the ending

Is the beginning

No spelling check for a person’s life

Defining who you are

Is not defining by what you do

Floating in the wind

Tied to an anchor

The boat drifts

Eating this bible

One letter at a time

Spelled the same forwards

With that opening a book

The cover discarded

One page at a time

Window shopping

Sarcasm free

Public face on stage

Sarcasm free Wednesdays

50 shots in a row

And this is sober

Glass walls all around

Branded on a branch

Swinging high above the ground

This is the tree of life

Hope i don't slip up

And fall down 

Place any girls name here

Press alt delete

And then paste

Vocals shot as usual

And I am scratching on stage

Sarcasm free between bitter irony

Born to play this role

Before I lost all control

Adopted for life

Public face on stage

Sarcasm free

50 shots in a row

And this is sober

Glass walls all around

Branded on a branch

Swinging high above the ground

This is the tree of life

Hope i don't slip up

And fall down

Shattering the glass walls 

Place any girls name here

continually hitting delete

attempting to start again

Born to play this role

Before I lost all control

treadmill of mistakes

Walking in quicksand 

In a middle of snow storm

Packing it down 

Running in place

On this treadmill of mistakes

Coming in last 

This human race 

Connecting to what doesn't exist 

Love extinction 

The dripping driving me insane 

Running in quicksand

Feeling it pulling me down

Like s runaway freight train

Ripping through this valley

Called I don't care 

How is that for irony of mistakes

Packing in down

Running in place

On a treadmill

Coming in last

In a crazy maraphon

This humanrace

Connecting to what doesn't exist

Running in place

On a treadmill

Coming in last

In a crazy marathon

This human race

Connecting to what doesn't exist 

Water dripping 

Driving me insane

Blemished by Reality

stories differ

Inhibitor of gloom

Just walk through 

Stop staring at the door

It does not matter

Just walk through

One door closes

The exit sign comes on

Just another hole  in a wall

Walk through and life changes

The prequel to yesterday

One way doors are like that 

Another obstacle in the way

Deceitful omission again

The silence that kills

On the other side

Colors looks the same

Rain still falls 

The same songs play

Just can't go back

Letting yourself down

Can't go back

Blemished by reality
