with burning eyes
it studies your every move
waiting
for you
to dream
all is dark
as the power cuts out
all is quiet
except
the wild dog
in the distance
it moves about
looking for a way in
suddenly
fear consumes you
as you realize
its standing right behind you

They keep asking for more
But time is not the answer
And the mind keeps processing
the code that your broken frame designs
Erase your head
To forget the pain
Erase your head
Through ignited flames
Erase your head
So you can find your way
Erase your head
Akin to drowning in the rain
Annihilate the memories
for The future is not the answer
What matters is now
The blood of today
What matters is now
and The blood of today
The sacrifice of the heart
The torture of decay
The decadence
of the flesh
Another moment awaits
When you let yourself be
Without the shackles of your brain
Your mind will deceive you
Your heart will betray you
Your body will somehow
find a way
to fail you
Don't suffer in silence

I knew you would leave
I know you must run
oh reckless child
but if you stayed one more night
I would find the words
to console your reckless heart
your reckless mind
oh what have you done?
The blood on the floor
the note on the door
oh reckless child
All of your messy words
describing your needless lies
so tragically
and the taste of your bitter tears
still lingering on my lips
still stains my saddened soul
where have you gone?
you'll never find what you're looking for
I guess I've taught you well
you finally learned to kill
and you do it well
oh so well
you do it well
The blood on the floor
the note on the door
oh reckless child
what have you done?

how cruel the winds of time can be
unyielding in their momentum
erasing our existence
through its indifference
in the inevitable ending
we must individually face
all our hopes, our joys
our dreams and our sorrows
our downfall
it will mean as much as a drop of water
crashing against a rock
deforming and evaporating
without any memoir of its existence
as I speak now and while you listen
at this very moment
all around the world butterflies are dying
bees, plants, oceans and even the clouds in the sky
are vanishing, dying by our hand
like cancer
we are in the midst of a fantastic mass extinction
and this is our creation, our one true lasting legacy
our swan song, our greatest work of art
industrialized death for the world and everything in it.
and so this moment in time
will also fade away
discarded by time with its insistent endurance
and we become grains of dust and sand
scattered
to be forgotten,
our illusions of grandeur
our moral and ethical hypocrisy,
our greed and thirst for blood and violence,
our dreams of something greater,
our hopes for a better world
all dead and irrelevant
with the movement
of time
we've have become witnesses
to the end of our plight

Haven't you slept enough?
haven't you dreamed enough?
wake up child
take a look around
wake up child
the world needs it's slave
How far did you think you could go
in this impudent treacherous world
where their truth and lies collide
while your eyes are closed and blind
in other words they'll keep control
over you or nothing at all
if you wont submit to be
their whore
laying down with ignorance
lying of your confidence
just think the consequence
but it wont make sense
wake up child
look around
wake up child
the world needs its slave
how long did you think you could hide
from the majesty and splendor of crime
from the destitute decency of our time
we're just like swine

Through the ill fated night
at the our of our plight
as the illusion takes hold
and the rain falls cold
just like the poison in your veins
I take hold of your chains
and we can get lower
my bittersweet lover
and we can get lower
my underground lover
our skin intertwines
like the powder in the lines
set forth in our blood
and erased by the flood
hour by hour
the little pleasure we devour
|

I remember the silence you kept
every word that you could never say
desires you kept from your heart
and as every year goes by
I question how far
we might be
from being
the light and the fire
without the denial
that we once were
that we once were
the end's never certain nor clear
for someone like you or like me
no matter how far
time descends
and removes itself
from our grasp
from our reach
from our dreams
that we once shared
that we once shared
If you close your eyes
and remember my name
remember my kiss
then you might see
what you were meant to be
so now that we've come to depend
on thoughts and the memories of us
our past and our future become
the present
just like we once were
like we once were

I've given in
to your design
I'm fading deep
in the distance
to want no more
to feel no less
every moment counts the same
every breath gets me higher
and I close my eyes
to see your brightness
to see your truth
to feel your lips move
so this
is to feel alive
all of this desire
dance in my eyes
all the world's on fire
but you're in my arms
as close as we will get
to paradise
and I will never hold the keys
to your dreams
no I will never hold the keys
to your dreams

There is a way of being
That can not be bought
can not be learned
can not be attained
can not be experienced
Or imitated
Or imitated
It is simply a way
that some were born
As self manifestations
And while others
admire,
some learn to resent
while the ignorant
reject
as normal
Be who you are
Be what you are
Don't try to mimic
What you could never be.
Become the flesh
You desire
Become the slave
You desire
Become the pain
You desire
Because it's real
As all desires
Must be
Here and now
Not in your dreams
But in your soul

The poisoned serpent
came so naturally
all I could do was stare
and hope it wont kill me
waiting
lying
floating
always swimming
to feast on its prey

I remember
everything
I write to let go
I write to be clean
but words will never stop
what I could never be
everything's changed
but I remain the same
because I know who I am
and what I've become
you see
I'm a puddle of poison
that others need to drink from
every now and then
they all come and they all go
they want to learn whats lurking inside
to make themselves feel
and go on with their lives
they place their dreams
their hopes, their fears
their hearts
on my hands
to see what will happen
to see how it ends
everything's changed
but I remain the same
a lost little boy
with a knife in its hands
tears in his eyes
and blood on his clothes
I gave them fair warning
I told them the truth
but they never listen
and they never learn
until its too late
and you
you,
like the rest of them
say
I've changed
do you think I don't know
the way the blood flows?
learn from the lesson
grow with much strength
everything's changed
but I remain the same
you never let me down
I knew what was to come
as it always does
so thanks for the memories
and thanks for the words
go now
and become one of them
everyone changes
but I remain the same

To Live or Die
In Los Angeles
Where Magick & Dreams
Turn to fire

Eviscerate the dream
And desecrate the lies
Of the rape and murder
Of reason
Our hearts attack
And our brains are cleansed
The human tragedy
With such vulgar display
Of desperation
And expiration
Entwined forever
on this godforsaken
restless world
Our thoughts collide
and our spirit Expands

Sudden misplacements
In the vastness of nothingness
Slight glitch in the code
Gives us insight into other worlds
We are counterfeit creatures of the light
For its within the depths
of dark matter
That defines who we are
what we are
Turn your back on the indoctrination
Realize that we've all become victims
To ulterior motives
of the impostors of love
What they promise is cliches
they promise
thoughts and prayers
from religion
created by unpure men
to control
ignorant men
And if this world defines us
For who we really are
Then it must be cruelty
It must be savagery
It must be putrid
greed and avarice

Step outside
into the nights
embracing light
surrender your fear
and quiet your mind
step away from your pain
there's comfort in the rain
and all is not lost
there's so much more to feel
in the path still to come
the future is not written yet
run free
run wild
run into
the mystery
any second now
what you thought was lost
finds it way back home
the way its meant to be
and if you have regrets
do away with them
they're all useless now
the magic's on its way

So you want to live
And you don't want to die
But you have to die
So you can truly live
All you want is pleasure
And you don't want pain
But without real pain
There is no true pleasure
And you crave what you want
But never what you need
But without what you need
You'll never know what you really want
And you should open your eyes
And yet you close your heart
But you need to feel
What you cannot see
