Administer

Swallow the pillPrepare for your killBury some remains in the groundSoil is dirt and we’re not proudDig in deeper to gain a footingSounds so wrong when you’re lookingBut ignore the pomp and deliver a prizeWhen will we get to decide?I don’t have a clueAnd nor do youJust a line in the sandWish it was bandWhileContinue reading “Administer”

Trauma

March across the fields of the dead and goneChant about how you will save the songQuestion all you can about the heart in stoneAs you realise you are far away from home Ready, aim, fire with only rage fuelled desireWhile the cries ring out about the lies of empireNo more taunts about how to startContinue reading “Trauma”

Misdirection

Will you listen to reason?Or just keep stealingHold a torch to the flameInstead of just blameWalk a mile in my shoesAnd not keep moaningOr are just too busy stoning? There are no clouds in the skyBut you keep say they’re comingYou sat for a whileAnd I don’t see anythingDo you even believe…A single word you’reContinue reading “Misdirection”

Gods Or Monsters

There is a place deep inside the skinThe one from which our life is flowingBut instead of aiming to make it strongAll we do is keep carrying onTaking shots to kill our brainUnravelling in all our pain Are we the monsters?Cause we are not godsAre we the demons?We keep on screaming Down in the depthsContinue reading “Gods Or Monsters”

Cataloging

Cross the names off of the listPerpetual state of won’t be missedTie the noose around the stoneSend them down to the depths belowOne more trick up the sleeveNo one here remembers reprieveJust an outline etched in chalkBecause of the person they did stalkDrove the madness right off the bendCan you not simply comprehend? Well itContinue reading “Cataloging”

Turn The Key

Creeping in the halls of painAnother trophy calls your nameShouting dreams of heresyCan the future ever be free?As the clock does strike twelveSing for revolution bellsFor a night without falling shellsYou pay the piper to end the spell Dillusions of a broken mindThe world will never be so kindSpectres of a broken soulWatch as youContinue reading “Turn The Key”

Extremist

Freedom fighter, terroristJust a matter of perspectiveEven if you use another nameThey all link just the sameInsurgent is another termMuch like being a militantAll claim its for rights and fairnessBut murder shouldn’t be permittedIf you kill then you are the causeAnother criminal outside the lawsSoldiers without a uniformLittle more than hell spawnCutting down who youContinue reading “Extremist”

Vended

These things that you have vendedI realise that I did not comprehend itToo busy staring at the viewWhile all this time you were losing parts of you Monsters hide, in every cornerA shattered position, from which to mourn herI feel like, garbage rolling down the roadNot a single second, did I decide to own…Up toContinue reading “Vended”

Supernova

I let you in and now you won’t go awayWhat a mistake this was for meIts why I needed to find my placeCause I was torn apart by your disgrace Playing victim just to get your wayWhat do you actually want from me?A question to which I got no replyIt felt like you might wantContinue reading “Supernova”

Betrayer

You lend me your handJust to take it back againNo truth left in youNow I know that to be trueTumbling down the mountainsideWaving as you smile so wideI curse your every future chanceBegging that karma will come to passBefore the impact ends it allI scream that your life will stallYou laugh it off like aContinue reading “Betrayer”
