Years gone by and still I don’t knowDid you walk or were you forced to?Empty home with no note to declareIt seems like so many got over despairSimply returned to the ways of oldNot quite sure when everyone turned so cold Yet, I still wonder what went downI’d have been blind not to see yourContinue reading “Missing”

Dumped
Weave the wire right to the bonePush it deep but I won’t moanParalysed by the words you sayHere lies the grave of everybodyPushed back until they can’t speakWhat a fixture to take this weekWas I supposed to drop to my knees?Well I’m not being a part of this disease Pollinating what isn’t worth timeRight beforeContinue reading “Dumped”
Falter, Fall, Stall

Well, it’s really a pre-prequel seeing as how long before that story it is. Not saying there will be a story between the two asContinue reading “Patient Zero: Origins”
