Attempting something, don't know what; in other words this sucks

Saccharine Sweet Noose


As you feel that saccharine sweet
noose loose round your neck
start to tighten and pull
to pick you up off the ground
your eyes begin to close
and the grip of reality starts
to fade like the end of a play
to black
you drift off to a land of dreams
where everything is all too real
and nothing is as it seems
this saccharine sweet noose
of sleep and of dreams
of heaven and of hell
is a drug greater than any
man has ever made

Halogen Halo



Your body lays motionless
draped in a candescent sheet
of white upon the shimmering steel
pulled away to show everyone
your halogen halo shimmering
and illuminating your porcelain skin
tinted purple and blue and red
like a field of flowers in a painting
the y-incision sewn up tastefully
with bouquets of black thread
and your body perfumed with
the scent of formaldehyde
a vision in white forever sleeping
never to wake illuminated
by this halogen halo

King of Fools




I am the King of Fools
the epitome of stupidity
A Jester with a crown
on a throne made of failures
ask to me breathe
I won't know what to do
but the panic and fear
set in and they're seizing
I'm freezing up at every
little thing over thinking every
little move questioning what
is right and what is wrong
while they laugh in the
distance a jovial crowd
at a comedy about
the Jester with a crown

Beautiful Moon



It's a beautiful moon
and it's calling for you
hear you cry like the animals
it's a curse you never
wanted but no one ever does
the change is coming with
that soft white glow
a faint tint of red as
the blood soaks in
an inhuman rampage against
your human will you're a
monster a beast a thing
to be hunted hated assassinated
can you live through the night
and into the day
knowing what it is you do
under this beautiful moon

Maybe In Another Life



Fuck you and fuck
these petty games
you paint me as the villain
but nothing ever changed
but the way you talk and the
way that you walk
I don’t want to hear the bullshit
pouring from the sewer grate
you tastelessly taped
to the front of your face
and I don’t want to see you
walk in like you own this
place but it’s an open and shut case
I’ll be the better man and I’ll
bite this wagging tongue
but know this
I never owed you anything
but you feel entitled to play this
fucked up game
with the rats and insects
whispering in your ear
telling you
‘he never gave you anything,
he owes you everything’
so here’s the point where I walk away
and I hope we never speak
because I might just
break your jaw
so you can’t say anything
and maybe in another life
I’ll get over this travesty
but until then
it’s best you keep out of this one
Call Me Anything (Please, Just Call Me Something)



So call me anything
(please, just call me something)
I want to hear my
name slip past your lips
whatever form it takes
When you hate me
When you love me
But this silence is deafening
and I’d give anything
to hear you speak to me
because this world
is trapped in a silent film
and I can’t read the subtitles
but you can speak despite everything
so if you said one thing to me
I would hear (you) again
So call me anything
please, just call me something …
Winter Weather



The crackling pop
of lit tobacco leaves
fills this winter air
and the frost at my feet
retreats from the heat like
snakes from the flame
and I’m cold
and I’m shaking
but the sun is rising
and though time is frozen
in this cold winter weather
the heat of the day
will take us all away
Trophy Heart



I am never alone,
in my heart I am home.
So take the heart from my chest
and hold it close.
Because home is where the heart
is, and a home is nothing
to me without you.
This Void



I don’t know what
it means to feel anymore
so I’ll live vicariously
through the songs you sing
just to try and remember
what emotion is
because I’ve been pulled into
the void, and it’s consuming me
now I’m just an empty
shell of the former man
I used to be
So sing to me, all these
things you feel
so maybe I’ll remember
what it means to feel at all
I Don't Want to Know


I don’t want to think
I don’t want to feel
I don’t want to cry
I don’t want to know
anything anymore
Get the fuck away
find a place to hide
feeling safe is impossible
even on the inside
Lock me in a cage
throw away the key
never hear me sing
doesn’t mean a thing
never sang anyway
End this stupid game
throw it all away
maybe then I’ll care
but until that day
always hear me say
I don’t want to think
I don’t want to feel
I don’t want to cry
I don’t want to know
anything anymore
Ice Cold



This room is Ice Cold
and it eminnates from that shoulder
so sculpted and smooth
but it’s covered in ice
and there’s an arctic wind
that’s on the rise
The heat’s on high
but I’m freezing
the atoms of my body
are coming to a stop
with time by my side
and I’m stuck here
with just the moment
of your back turned away
and the echo of your shoes
on the tile floors is frozen in my ears
and I want to call out
‘Please, I’m sorry …’
but my voice is caught in my lungs
and my lips are frozen shut
I know you’re gone
and never coming back
but I’m stuck in this moment
this Ice Cold room
alone in this frozen time
Ivory Bones



You’re the pianist of my soul
so tickle the ivory of my bones
and let your song ring through
the piano wire nerves
that dance up to the heart strings
that you tug so gently
with just your song
Hold Your Tongue



Come now child and
hold that tongue
it’s a quicksilver whip
you’ve honed with your
wit and dipped it in acid
but you’re aim is all off
it’s too far from true
and you’re lashing at everyone
who ever loved you
now you’re bitter and

alone

swallowing that caustic spittle
because no one is around
to drain the envenomed
spite you bite your tongue
and cry
Here's a Toast! (Cheers to the Loneliness)



My head is swimming, this bottle
is dry, but I hold it close,
like a dying friend, it quenched
my thirst, but became my hearse.
it fueled the dreams, that frightened,
me. I’m the one to blame for
playing this lonesome game.
Of a bottle and a gun,
a thought and a dear dark friend,
and a means to an end.
So fill that glass and raise it
high. Here’s a toast! Cheers to
the loneliness. Cheers to
the empty rooms we share. Cheers to
the ways we end this game.
Bittersweet Clarity



You’ll never know just
how right you are when you say
you’ll never understand me.
I want to show you why,
let you see these things from
my eyes. But that’s a flight of
fancy that crashed long ago.
If we could trade places
and remember all we felt when
the morning comes and we switch
right back. I’d love to see my face
as you experience that moment
of bittersweet clarity.
You’ll never understand me because
even I don’t know who I am.
But still you try to understand,
you push and you pry your way
to the places I never want to be.
Then I hide away, behind my self offense
defense. You sigh and say,
you’ll never understand me. If only
you knew how right you were.
If we could trade places
and remember all we felt when
the morning comes and we switch
right back. I’d love to see my face
as you experience that moment
of bittersweet clarity.
You’ll never understand me because
even I don’t know who I am.
Always When You're Not Around



You know there’s these whispers
you can’t hear and they buzz
in your ears like a million little bees.
They tell you all the secrets
they heard while you were gone.
Keep your head down as you glance
around the empty street, then right
back down at those slow, shuffling
feet.
You know there’s these eyes
you can’t see and they watch every
move with a careful scrutiny.
They see every little failure
you had to hoped to hide away.
Keep your head down as you glance
around the empty street, then right
back down at those slow, shuffling
feet.
What Good is a Poet?



What good is a poet,
who can’t find the words
to say what they mean and
to mean what they say?
Words clutter and jumble
all along the written page
like a riot that police
failed to keep held at bay.
Now the meanings and phrases
all go up in the flames,
while the words whither quietly,
always fading away…
Countdown



This countdown’s crawling back from ten,
please tell me will this journey end?
Seems like it’s been forever.
I’m crawling out into the light,
but the darkness surrounds me,
consumes me.
Who can help this broken soul?
Cause I’m wandering like a ghost,
just going in circles.
These walls are slowly closing in,
but I’m nowhere near the end.
The Hourglass is running thin.
But I will carry on,
through this strange new place
with a brand new face.
I’ll march on till I see the sunrise
on a brand new day.
To finally be free of the pain.
Who can help this broken soul?
Cause I’m wandering like a ghost,
just going in circles.
These walls are slowly closing in,
but I’m nowhere near the end.
The hourglass is running thin.
I’m just so sick of this shit,
sometimes I just want to quit.
But I’ll be stuck here forever.
The light is calling out to me:
Please save this wretched soul.
This countdown’s at zero.
We may go on our separate ways,
and move on to better days.
But this countdown’s at zero.
The Minotaur



I look around this new land
And nothing looks familiar.
All these streets
Cross like labyrinths
And the Minotaur is
Closing in.
There’s a map on the wall
But it takes me nowhere
I need to be
No ‘X’ marks the spot
No compass rose
Just the footsteps behind me
And the world I’ve left behind.
But if I follow this path
Of strings back
To where I came from
Maybe I can find who I was
Back then, before the Minotaur
Caught up to me.
There’s a map on the wall
But it takes me nowhere
I need to be
No ‘X’ marks the spot
No compass rose
Just the footsteps behind me
And the world I’ve left behind.
I don’t know what I’m doing now.
The strings can only take me back
And the streets ahead are empty.
The Minotaur is breathing down
my neck, and I’m breaking down.
Maybe there’s a future, maybe
there’s a chance. A hope for me,
for you, for all those people
lost among these empty streets.
Put down the string,
there’s no need to go back.
Leave the Minotaur alone in his
labyrinthine trap.
Hallway Echoes



These empty hallways echo
your voice. These hallowed hollows
draped in multicolored sunlight
from stained glass portraits
of you along the walls,
but you never cast a shadow.
