How active the stars
How different the days
We’ve found what’s ours
In a universe ablaze
Basking at ***** of fire
Reveling under auroras
How the heavens inspire
We feel an aura
Wishing on burning rock
Praying to ancient light
Time ticks away on the clock
How glorious the night

In Tragedy

I move unsatisfied
I rest with pain
My heart will never be whole
My soul will never be free
I live in tragedy
Every second agonizes me
And I don’t know how to change it
Or if I even can
God grant me serenity

Stone and Mortar

My fate’s a fortress as tall as the sky
I wonder its walls like some lowly wall fly
Behind stone where reality’s gone awry
Its stature can only tell lies
For truth my soul must vie
I don’t know if I’d recognize when it comes by
I’ve caught the gaze of an evil eye
Its glance pierces like a war cry
My blood is running dry…
Sometimes I just want to die
There’s too much of me these walls deny
And i’m supposed to sit back and comply
But I have to at least try
I have to get a glimpse of the sun in the sky
Thinking on it, I don’t know why

Words

I want this loneliness to go away
So I can rule the day
I curse the day
I live to say
That I was always alone
Because I know
No man will ever condone
No man will ever be mine
I will be alone
Into the end of times

The Man I Met In A Dream

I met a man one cold winter day

He spoke to me in an unfamiliar way

He was so humble -- I grew hopeful

I was just waiting on this man to make it vocal

He did but what I heard didn't convey

Any similarity to what I thought he would say

Yet I continued to hope as he faded away

Reality on my dreams did then prey

And now I can’t get him out of my mind

I’m anxious and worried all of the time

I can’t loosen this grip on my heart

Whatever remains will soon fall apart

A Fish Without Water

This house doesn't need ghosts to scare anyone
The walls take sanity for fun
They'll hex you with whispers in tongue
Arrive with confidence - leave with none
The longer you stay, the further undone
The air stifles, it thickens and numbs
It weighs down on you like tons
Constricting every cell, it stuns
Skeletons in these closets tote guns
Heat comes at you like fire from the mouth of dragons
I mean heat like blaze of a million suns
All the while, your mind weakens and maddens
This house kills souls like it's a soul assassin
A suffering only the wicked can fathom

******

Here comes the devil, breathing down my neck.
He makes life hard and he makes me sweat.
Taunts me all day, tortures me all night.
I can't live like this, I hate life.
I could be happy and I would smile.
If he'd just let me breathe, just for a little while.
But he wont, he'd rather just tear me apart.
Some creatures don't have hearts.
Happiness and love are now missing.
And if you be quiet you'll notice he's listening.
I've seen the devil and I believe
I was ****** on the day I was conceived.
