Water Over Stone

A numbing routine
The same thing day after day
A glimpse in a dream
Of a wasteland burning away
Drifting through life
Like water over a stone
Flashes of grief
Always but never alone
The old man has fallen
Cut down by some fiend in the night
Who let greed control him
The flood gates crashing open
In black lace she weeps at the grave
So empty and broken
Screaming who will be saved
Tell me who will be saved
No master no guide
No path through the maze
A rogue with suspicious designs
Now stands in his place
But life staggers on
There's a lover to conquer
While the paranoid tremble in fear
The strong journey onwards

Contamination
06:14
|
|

The sterile veil descends again
A slaughtered rival; an anxious friend
A twist of chance or some vicious trend
a watchful eye seeks to understand
Can you hear it? Do you feel it?
Is there darkness closing in?
Do you fight it? Do you like it?
Feel it burning from within in?
A time of perdition!
A trace from the past!
A sense of elision
That slips from your grasp
A chance for salvation
Or mere flagellation
A stain on the soul?
A contamination?
A black streak across the yellow line
A near miss jars a nervous mind
The widow cries out for a sign
A darkened cloud bides its jealous time
Can you hear it? Do you feel it?
Is there darkness closing in?
Do you fight it? Do you like it?
Feel it burning from within?
A time of perdition!
A trace from the past!
A sense of elision
That slips from your grasp
A chance for salvation
Or mere flagellation
A stain on the soul?
A contamination?
Struggling to move
Held down by chains
This raging inferno
That burns in your name
But still I return
Time after time
To this raging inferno
That burns in my mind
I don’t know just what I’ve become
Someone tell me what I flee from

all this time
pushing me away
can't runaway
all that time
telling me to stay
a waste of pain
so much time
taking in the pain
i wont explain
runaway

Night Wanders By

Malaise and fatigue
A cloak of ennui
draping around me
Hysterical sickness
a burden whose cure
always eludes me
Alone and awake
Night wanders by
Till dawn cracks the sky
An hour of fear
that’s lasted more than a year
An illness inside me that crawls through my veins
a channel of anger, confusion, and pain,
A nightly design of unconscious domain
a vision through shuttered grey eyes
A somnolent thirst ever lurks in my throat
Like a killer unsated despite victims smote
a matriarch gone yields a trace of reproach
another untimely demise
Invader
Humanity
Rending of flesh
a tragedy
Searching your soul
anxiety
questions of guilt
brutality
Nightmare
Each night it’s the same
A city engulfed in an ocean of flame
Dawn breaks
The truth ever near
the guilt of survival compounded by fear
Desire
Haven of lust
Doctor
C’mon help me please
You must have some cure for this dangerous disease

El Dolor

for so long
didn't know where i belong
emptiness deep inside
realize
precious times unknown
no stranger to the pain inside
el dolor
otra vez
otra vez
on my own
i felt myself so numb
taking in broken lies
now this time
things out of my control
refuse to hide my wave goodbye
el dolor
no quiero el dolor
de corazon
una vez ya basta
one time is enough
Distant faces whisper my name
Guided by the light into their flame
This is where we sowed our hope
From the depth of this well
Searching for redemption

The Opera House

I'm running down
The hall again
I don’t know where
I don’t know when
The child’s gone
around the bend
Why she runs I can’t comprehend
And suddenly
They’re standing there
Woman in white
with golden hair
A man in black
I knew before
Grabs the child and slams the door
Nightmare
sows the seed of doubt
every time
they shut me out
Our psychic bond
Remains unspoken
But now these fears
They are awoken

Deception
Nightmare becomes a waking life
A gentle touch can scorch and scald
When reality is cloaked inside
Redemption
May lie behind a newfound door
But sorrow is the threshold
And honesty's the floor
Progression
A trauma buried deep within
Shattered metal slicing hot
Suddenly recalled again
Repression
A way to while the fragile time
Repetition and attrition
As the world slowly unwinds
As I look back
On those deceased
I realize now
They're part of me
The one who's slain them
Still can save them
A symptom of
A strange disease
Every body
In the ground
Another feeling
Shutting down
But more than flashes
They still are ashes
But in a world
Once lost, now found
The more that you know
The depths of your soul
Oneiros will help you
To maintain control
It's destiny
He cleanses the pain
And helps you maintain
But time marches onward
And onward again
Submerge in the brimstone if you ever want to return
This is what she spoke about
He took me in then threw me out
A portrait of an ever twisted mourning
The sun it warms my feeble skin
To be real is to be real again
A naked soul that calls out for adorning
Footsteps take me very far
I stumble to the reservoir
The water's cold, I drink it as I weep
I sit down on the forest ground
Hold my breath as I lay down
And drift into a deep and dreamless sleep
