Say goodbye to the morning light

 

drink in to the vast darkness

as the sun begins to fade

slip into the binding placebo

the pristine nightfall covets you

come lie down and rest

it's time to cast away your fears

find solace in this melancholy

and descend to a higher plane

don't be a stranger anymore

feel the transient tranquility

as moonlight touches your face

sleep soundly my dear

while the evening waves

bathe you in their enchantment

and weave all your dreams

 

untitled 1

 

I've lived through this before

i won't let it go on anymore

i see your smile, your face

the rain washes the pain

look up in the sky

you won't find heaven there

the stitches are gone

the scars are vaguely visible

and i am weary

don't come falling at my feet

i'll pass this up

now that i'm free

          

 

 

      

untitled 2

 

where's this road leading to

dusty speckled pathway

only seems to be winding

am i stuck here

roaming forever stranded

destination forever

they can't save me now

i took the jump

never to resurface again

so help me please

can't you hear me crying

take me away

destination forever

 

warm me with your touch

i'm hiding from that

bitter coldness outside

i still feel them

like faded memories

waiting to haunt

so take me

take me now

 

 

the fall

 

free falling

into this blinding light

succumbing gently

into this empty space

 

illusion can't be

surreal

rising, levitating

i'm losing sight

 

can't defy this

darkness

caving in softly

 

don't tangle me

in your recluse

leave this changeling

in my heart

 

i'll cradle it

from this splendor

 

     
 

 

ghostly playground

 

a swirl of fog

materializes

little child, where have you been?

down the riverbank,

behind the orchard green,

or the bridge around the bend?

 

a mass of mist

 

i see you now

dancing in glee

as clear as moonlight

linger purple shades

 

your soft chuckling echoes

around the wall of trees

little child, have you missed me?

 

the sun begins to shine

little rays of vermilion

little blissful heart

your lonely shed awaits

 

disappear then..

into the shadowy realms

of silence

that fades slowly..

 

 

crash

 

i feel the walls of reality

coming down on me

my luck's crashing

i ain't sticking around any longer

 

broken dreams

aren't meant to heal

so you say this life's

for real

 

turn from this wasteland

i'm leaving, see?

so before i blow

a kiss goodbye

 

i'll set you all

on my fiery rage

let's see you miserable

every bit of the word

 

yeah, i get to fuck with this

yet something's still amiss...
