Travelling down a lonesome road

Our restless minds yearn to be roused

Scratching at the bursting seams

Deeper and deeper for blind relief

-

And it's a strange time over here

Like a fallen elevator

A broken catastrophic memory

Sliding down past half mast

-

And way down here

When those days are gone

Things they seem to go so slow

I'm so sick I just lay in bed

-

I used to be a Paladin

When I was all you ever wanted

Without doubt there was no fear

I could be magnanimous

-

So if you want to go

Feel filled with a strange desire

But when the night gets dark

Just wait for me

-

Bold is the strength of a thousand soldiers
Infinite is the curse of a dying man
And terrible is the pain of a grieving Mother

Page by page we write this book
And word by word this pain does grow
Trapped in the lines by who we are

Forgetting what we had
We lose who we've become
And fall back to who we were

Needing to want
And wanting to feel
We grab on to whatever we can

And staring into the darkness
We try to take control
And make amends for what we've done

Until finally we realize
That the past cannot be undone
Only that it will not become our future

Forgive but don't forget
For forgiveness is forever
And forever will not be forgotten

Catastrophe is my middle name

And I offer no apologies

To this forsaken race

Of talking Orangutans

*

Spikey haired nincompoops

Riding in fast cars
with bodacious blondes

Tear down these walls

Inhale the mold of our millenia

*

Angst is a disease

And I am the cure

With banana gun in hand -

We are the fucking apocalypse!

Mother I'm calling

From a payphone down the way

Just needed to tell you I'm sorry

It's all I really want to say

-

Brother I'm wondering

If you'll ever be okay

Things have been so tough for us

Destiny has gone astray

-

Father I'm dying

And this pain won't go away

You ruined what we never had

With your lies of yesterday

-

With scorched Earth

And porcelain dreams

We send the lamb to the slaughter

A deafened childs screams

-

Floating on feather filled hypocracy

Cover your eyes to the darkness engulfing

Forget the word Bravery

This is all we'll ever need

-

A world full of betrayal

A heart full of lies

We let go of everything we've learned

And listen to what we're being taught

-

We've learned to be kind

We've learned to be strong

We've learned to be brave

And we've learned not to do wrong

-

Life has taught us to doubt

Life has taught us to lie

Life has taught us to hide

And life has taught us to cry.

-

'Misery loves company'

But I'll do this alone

A broken part inside of me

Will never remember peace.
