Watcher
I walk the lands and sail the seasBut all I see is the same diseaseWar breeds hate which kills everybodySouls so lost they fade before me Calls of pain that never go awayBodies litter the streets each dayNo glimpse of hope to rise from decayWatch as civilization burns away With flames so high they touchContinue reading “Watcher”

End
Twisting strands of what could have beenThis life is but a balancing beamOne misstep and down you tumbleBroken neck for your trouble Wish upon a shooting starJust don’t expect it gets you farAs one wrong move begins to spiralSay goodbye to your survival Clasping hands for a futureDo you really want a sutureEmpty tones screamContinue reading “End”

Though, I’m not going to lie, I have no idea what to call this. While writing it I called it a transcript. Essentially, its justContinue reading “Souls In A Jar”
