Tales Of Days To Come

I taste the feast without an ounce of truthWhat comes next will leave you shookA bright green flash did blind my eyesThen came the figure from the riseWith two long legs and a tiny skullI couldn’t see a weapon in its mighty pawInstead it simply gave a nameProblem is, it was beyond my frameThe wordsContinue reading “Tales Of Days To Come”

In Flame

You burn todayYou burn tomorrowYou burn until life is hollow Along the path of shattered nightRoam the plains with a lack of sightHoping for a different lensDoling blame out again You burn todayYou burn tomorrowYou burn until life is hollow Bearing gifts of lies most debonairePlanting seeds of we don’t careThe lands are turning toContinue reading “In Flame”

Force Of Nature

In comes the stormAre you feeling worn?Trapped out in the rainTiny flecks of painBouncing off the skinLittle more than paper thin Soon it turns to iceStinging with every sliceDrenched to the boneOut here all aloneStarting to feel illNo cure by taking a pill Winds do howl againIgnoring everythingWhistle as they passDon’t care about the massRippingContinue reading “Force Of Nature”

Knife’s Edge

Burn down corruption and feel nothingSuch is the way that things must be seenIf we don’t then we’ll just fade awayHumanity was never going out any other wayIf you thought it was you were fooling yourselfThis species is not in good healthJust a stain upon the crustIn those words you should trustCause once we’re goneContinue reading “Knife’s Edge”

So-So

Wrapped in the madness of moneyWill you stop when this ain’t funny?Roll of the dice might kill tomorrowHiding in the shadows you always borrowStill scrounge for absolutely nothingThis is how you love the end that’s comingProbing at the new contaminationEnjoying the finale of the heartless nationPleading for another shot at fearIgnore what you don’t wantContinue reading “So-So”

Short

I’ll run to the end but it won’t be enoughI hold on to the cup that has become only rustThe liquid within has dried to sandNow all that’s left is a shaking withered hand Cry to the moons of a forgotten skyWatch as the wilderness sees you dieCan you honestly say that you did asContinue reading “Short”

Fall And Rise

Clutch,But you don’t have too muchGrip,When it’s already started to slipHold on,Now that it’s all gone Stand firm,Lets see if you can learnBe strong,Knowing right from wrongDo better,Like it says in the letter Shout loud,Don’t be part of the crowdYour blip,Not a time to flipFocus,And just simply show us The fall,Isn’t the end of allNowContinue reading “Fall And Rise”

Life Is A Ride That Keeps On Spinning

Stuck on the merry-go-roundMy head is beginning to poundDizzy from the spinVision is blurringJust like lifeYou can get lost sometimeBut don’t simply give inKeep on pushingAim for the next goalDoesn’t matter if its big or smallWhat matters is that you careAnd don’t just sit thereStaring at the empty wallsWondering how you came to fallSuch aContinue reading “Life Is A Ride That Keeps On Spinning”

Tightening

I wrap my hands around my heartFear is always prepared to startAnother shot into the veinLife feels like an endless chainCoiling round until your stuckWhat to do when it’s upAre we supposed to run the race?Keep going forward with our disgraceWrithe around like empty soulsWaiting until we grow oldIf that’s the case then I foregoIContinue reading “Tightening”

Bye?

You fed the storm with another lieDid you think we would just say bye?Well if you did you never thoughtCause the rage has come to sort…Every little thing you didThen make you pay for itYou should have used your brainInstead, now you’re down the drainA fractured sense of pompous heightFrom which you soon will flySeeContinue reading “Bye?”
