So you see the horizon?Where sun meets land.That’s the termination of your future.An end to all of your plans. How long do you think it will last?Faster you go the sooner the crash. Ticking down to conclusion.Intervention won’t stall a thing.Clock has been set in diamond and stone.Will you face this on your own? MinutesContinue reading “Countdown”

Out Of This Trap
Spin the knife, stab the gun.House of torment, dungeon of cards.All comes crumbling when you least expect.Select your avenue to rebuild again.Cut off that which is draining.Devastation doesn’t have to be your answer.Could always move out of this abomination. Got it all wrong as I’m speaking.Brain is well and truly fried beyond comprehension.With selections sittingContinue reading “Out Of This Trap”
Take A Chance
Bell calls me to the foreground.Playing tunes that strike at my soul.Chords plucked as if I can go into my past.What resonates will never crash.As chimes cut in to join the foley.Echoes from days that seemed melancholy.Striking back as if I’m still right there.Forming out of this old half repair.Calling to action what once seemedContinue reading “Take A Chance”
Human Tide
Cycles continue to repeat.Revolution has become obsolete.Shut your mouth and accept your place.Predetermined is your fate.With a gun to your head and a knife at you back.No matter what you hope for it’ll turn to ash. Vitrify me like they did to you.Disposable no matter who.Car crash existence put to shame.Everything leads to more pain.InflictionContinue reading “Human Tide”
Died In Agony
Staring out across the murky sea.Fathoms between you and me.Distant lights never seem to fade.The further we travel the more they radiate.Is this a sign or am I expecting too much?Tonight turns into another compartmentalised memory. Guiding hands to where I roam.Still this place is not my home.Too quiet as the days which are yetContinue reading “Died In Agony”
Monster From Saint
Perforated by every new loss.Each segment offered to waiting crows.When will light shine back through?All this grey is driving a wedge between versions of you.Mood darkening like a maelstrom.Before long an eruption akin to a bomb.Levelling any progress you might have made. Emotion turned in an enemy.Bleeding out where you wanted to be.Savage tongues lashingContinue reading “Monster From Saint”
Time Is My Curse
Why does it feel like I’m speaking to two different people?One is close the other a stranger.Demands and statements are feeling cold.Am I too cynical or have I hit a nail on the head?Not sure I want to know.Fragile is my ability to trust.Another chip might see me shattering. How am I still spinning onContinue reading “Time Is My Curse”
Remember Me
Remember me when I fly into the flames.Calling out for justice to never be undone.Battles having raged my entire life.Misery has become a stage for too many.With hearts shattering like glass hit by a stone.For all these hopes that now feel so alone.I cry these tears I wish would be the last.Cracking from what mightContinue reading “Remember Me”
Distil
This bitter pill, you did distil, to make us choke upon our words. We kill more than you we need and will forever be starving.Every decade our numbers will keep on halving.Now wade down this razor river.Occam knows us to be a quitter.Trapped within these confines of our own making. This bitter pill, you didContinue reading “Distil”
My Last Sunrise
With hell in his eye I saw my last sunrise.Son of a bitch took my life by being a snitch.Too late to change what happened next. Dug my own grave when I tried to defend myself.Tore down these walls only to find I was someone else.For so long I fought but now I am beatenContinue reading “My Last Sunrise”
