I am ephemeral yet eternal.

Drowning in my own insanity and emptiness,
Yet there is a sense of banality as my soul spirals in the waves.

Enraged and imprisoned amongst the tide
My body now imprisoned by fleeing time.
The crashing waves tearing flesh from bone, And the tide carrying my tortured soul.
My body forgotten along the shore,
Returning to the elements where I was once Born.

Blood to Earth, my debt has been repayed.
In the afterglow my bones now lay.
Forgotten, buried in the sand.
      
   Am I eternal or ephemeral?
        
I am just a man.

Summer means smoking
in your car
with Paul
A couple guys and I
A couple guys, that's all.

In the studio
we sat
while I helped you with tap
and you needed the help
but repayed me back
so heavily you did
with your words
and your wis-
dom
high wisdom at that

Oh Devin,
I miss you-
How's Montreal?
I bet you're doing great
I hear it's beautiful in the fall

Kings of Leon
Gogol Bordello
and a little bit of Fun.
This music is your voice
a slight breeze and summer sun

Sometimes I take a listen
and reminisce
Eating ice cream on the Quay
a stoner's bliss

You always said I was special
"Not so sixteen"
Had a mind that had aged
like good cheddar cheese


God,
I hope you were right, Devin.
Cause I always fall too deep.
You know I felt like dying.
I long for eternal sleep.
I think of you sometimes,
you really do help me.
Bringing it back to this summer
when I actually felt healthy.

I am inferior
For in your eyes
I am simply sin
No matter how I beg
For forgiveness
I am a monster
Am I not?
For did you not agree
With the cruelty he dealt
The accusations
Of being nothing but a
Young lustful *****
Is that what your calling me?
I thought you loved me
And yet I have spent all day crying
My heart begging to be torn out
And my hands anxious for the blade
My mind shattered
As memories of us replay in my mind
Our hugs and kisses
Our cuddles and care
The proposal which you took back
That which shattered my dreams
And I fear he was right in calling me
Nothing
For I believe God is punishing me
I have sinned and prayed for forgiveness
And I am repayed with only this agony
I cannot cry for I have run out of tears
My world distraught by the power
He holds over you and I
To disrupt our present
With the past
That which I have begged forgiveness
My voice
It goes unheard
And the pain undying
If you were here to look me in eyes
Would you let me break inside as I am now?
Would you watch me crumble?
Or hold me and love me?
Haven't you always preached
Letting go of the past
Haven't you preached forgiveness
For I am broken now
And I will not yell
And I may continue to cry
But still I will not give up
Our battle is too hard
But we've fought to long
To give up now
So I remain
With this aching
For I too love you
And I too forgive
For love is forgiveness
Love is compromise and acceptance
And I accept you
And I trust you
And sometimes I wish that was returned
But I see no matter how faithful I am it will not
I have sinned so
I will not be trusted
And I'm always gonna be
Border-line accpeted
But love goes on
So I will stay
And be yours
And offer you my heart
And let you cherish or hurt it
For my love is powerful
And it will not quit
For true love
Does not sway or diminish
Only grow with each twisted fight.
I Am Fire And You Are Water And You Attempt To Contain Me.
There is a celebration
In the aftermath of the suicide
Moving on far from here
And this cursed and ****** place

Taste the blood
Pouring from the angels heart
That was spilled on the ground
In pure cold blood

It was for you all
So you wouldn't get burned
From the aftermath of
The end of the world

The angels time is a waste
And so was it's life
It tried to help
But in the end got forsaken

And never repayed
For all it has done
The blood on the floor
Will soon be yours

No time to leave
No time to discard
All those sins you've done
All those times you spat in his face

No time for sorrys
No time to repent
It's too far late
Drink the blood from your demon now

A sad little lady once said to me
that what ever i may do
to take in a count everyones feelings
carefully trough and trough

A dog left alone on the street barked
that kindness will pay off
it is only free thing in life
and you can never give enough

A child climbing on the tree told me
courage is what you need
for it is the only thing that makes you
help those who are in need

the young gentlemen cried
and said you must appriciate what you have
i had a lady fair and true
that i wish i have treated well

i am kind, i won't hurt anyones feelings ,
i help, and i'm not afraid,
but i still spend all nights thinking,
why my love is never repayed.

Ever since I met you, I always thought that these feelings of love or deep affection for you were ineffable and relentless,

As my attachment to you grows everyday you were always benevolent,

Everyday as we exchange conversations I keep on yearning for that Intimate moment with you,

That maybe when the song ofour soul's in symphony you'll be kind enough to offer me thy chastity not as an act of charity but because you worshipped me,

As we go on to this  journey together and try to find the pathway to our happy ever after I hope you realise that even though my love for you has always seemed like an act altruism but I'm sorry it is just the epitome of my affection for you is deep,  

I will worship you till one-day all those things I offered will be repayed by your love

That love  I don't have to beg. ♥

And if the skies were your waters,
And if jewels were embedded in your eyes,
Maybe by then,
Your treasure wouldn't taste like lies,
And if perhaps you had spoken,
For that which was right,
Then perhaps the guilt wouldn't eat at you,
Late in the night,
And if your soul could be seen on your face,
Would you still be as beautiful as you seem,
And if the debts you hold,
Could ever be repayed to me.

— The End —
