Anthem Nov 2016

D.E.A.D.V.O.I.C.E.S.

there is no weight in the words you use
i wish i could forget you and it makes me sick
i know that someday i'll be alright
i'm just so tired of all this wasted time

what am i still doing here?
i've already said too much
the rain falls on my shoulders
loosens the fragile grip i have

and as it all comes crumbling down
it brings a smile to my face
save me from what's average
bury me with purpose

Anthem Nov 2016

The man and wife (Former)

i'm sorry, but i'm not longer sure
i thought i was the sickness, you the cure

if you've ever had a doubt
kiss me hard upon the mouth

our love's like fire
we reach, but heaven's always higher

don't treat me like i'm the one to blame
when you're the one that's changed

(a battered frame supports a battered mind
walking away towards the true love she yet hopes to find)

Anthem Nov 2016

Psalms

ridiculously relaxing
a beautiful rendition
hope can be a waking dream
if you'd only listen

Anthem Nov 2016

Background Noise

everything is static
nothing is forever
i'm not who i was back then
and i wonder
why i should want to be?

Anthem Nov 2016

I can't be afraid of anything

we aren't always
who we want to be
but we are who we are
so let that be good enough

Anthem Nov 2016

A stranger in my room

i wore the mask so long
it became my face
now the mirror reflects
a stranger in my place

Anthem Nov 2016

We depend on you

only if you lean in close
can you hear the machines
beneath the sidewalk whispering

hold my hand and know that
my heart will always keep beating
as long as you keep on listening
