About

All We Have is Now

If you fall, then I fall

It haunts me, I'm captive

No heroes will save us

They sent me no angels

You sold me your soul

I'll break your heart and bring you chaos

We're breaking, we're crying

No feeling, I'm dying

So softly, we're fading

We stumble, we're falling down

You sold me your soul

I'll break your heart and bring you chaos

About

All That I Am

All the things that I've become

I'm blinded by your sympathy

There's nothing more I'm hiding from

My solitude is misconstrued

And in this space where I can breathe

I'm happy to concede

I've everything I need

when all I need is you

All that I am

Is all that I feel

And all that I feel

Is all that I am

All that I see

Is all that I dream

And all that I dream

Is all that I am

All the things you cannot see

You're frightened by my honesty

There's nothing more that I can be

All I am 

Is all you see

About

In This Silence

 

Brother, I see you crying
Wait on, for I am there
Hold it together, baby
I will not despair

Try to feel no pain
Hold me like a child
Waiting for something special
Tomorrow brings sunshine

And I feel, and I fear
And I feel and I fear

Brother, cure my blindness
Show me what you 'invocate'
Hear me in this silence
Bring me your bed of nails
Help me feel your pain

Follow the plans you made
Tear down these barricades
Lead out the grand parade
Tomorrow brings a new day

And I fear and I feel 
And I feel and I fear
And I fear and I feel 
And I feel and I fear 

But not for you

About

Modern Technology

If heaven sent, we've travelled far

Through distant thoughts

Into your hearts

Where lives collide

We make amends

No sentiment to comprehend or fear

And in your souls beyond your thoughts

Where chaos reigned and broke your hearts

You're yet to learn, you're yet to fall

You're yet to bleed, to lose it all for love

So silently (we leave no trace)

Our every breath fades away

It leaves a doubt inside your mind

A secret wish you'll never find again

And in your souls beyond your thoughts

Where chaos reigned and broke your hearts

You're yet to learn, you're yet to fall

You're yet to bleed, to lose it all for love

We are love, we are hate

We are hope, we are fate

We are every thought you make

We are all that you create

We are real, we are fake

We are all your big mistakes

We are all that's ever been

And everything that you have ever seen.

Poetry Emotion

 

My senses violated by sadness you created pressure you applied
My emotions enshrouded by 
a need for isolation I seek to justify

There's a certain poetry in secretive idolatry
Don't you see the vestiges 
of secret lovers' messages?

There's a certain poetry 
not knowing what you do to me
Will you see the signs and open up your eyes?

You invade my conscience
Taunt my emotions
Crawl under my skin
and ravage my soul

So bring me your laughter
Bring me your heartache
Bring your hunger
Bring me your pain

Bring me your laughter
Bring me your heartache
Bring me your problems
And bring me your mistakes

About

Into the Blue

I want you to understand

It's hard to imagine life as we planned

But I need a friend more than I need you

Hopelessly weighed down by all that we knew

and all that we do

Far from this life and into the blue

Is this what it takes to be free of you

And all your hurt?

So bring me your words that cut through my skin

That burn in my heart, that strangle my will

You must let me go, you must let me see

I need to release, I need to be free

Free from your world

So into the blue and far from from this world

Into the blue and far from this world

I want you to understand

It's hard to imagine life as we planned

But I need a friend 

more than I need you

About

Broken

On the other side of town

where nobody goes

She captured a neighbourhood

and called it home

She built herself a shelter

from broken bones

Built walls from emotional scars

That she once owned

It rained for a hundred days

with tears from her past

She watched hope wash away

Her life was recast

She reaped all the hurt they had sown

Forever constrained

enclosed by the fences of hate

And there she remained

In her garden there's nothing growing

There's no light there, only darkness

In her garden where she lies 

There's no air and nothing grows

About

Flowers and Ashes

One red rose
is not an apology
One red rose
is never enough
One red rose
may win you sympathy
But one red rose
won't change my mind

One red rose
provides no indemnity
One red rose
holds no guarantee
One red rose
may show sincerity
But one red rose
won't bring me back to you

About

Haunted

I'm waiting for an answer

to a question that you posed

I find it kind of tragic

that it's something we don't know.

You haunt me

You hurt me

You burn me with lies

You haunt me

You hurt me

You taunt me with lies

You haunt me with broken promise

and fabrication I don't believe

You taunt me break my body

Cast harm upon me when you deceive

​​

​I'm waiting....

You're everything I fear
You're everything to me

Don't stop, don't stare
Don't help me, don't care
Don't worry - don't dare;
Pretend I'm not there

About

Come Back Home Again

Can't you see me 
through your fog of ecstasy?
Nothing lasts forever, I guarantee

So open your eyes
and realise
There's a world outside
With arms open wide
It's calling you home
A place you belong

So open your eyes
And come back home again

Your world is blurring 
through calibrations
Just one last time
you plunge into oblivion

So open your eyes
and realise
There's a world outside
With arms open wide
It's calling you home
A place you belong
So open your eyes
And come back home (again)

Catch 22

 

As soon as you leave
I cry silently
And as soon as you're gone
I die, a part of me quietly

When I'm with you I am nothing
I'm soulless
But without you I am something
Not worthless

Don't love me, don't need me
Don't want me, just leave me
Don't hurt me
Let me be

The moment you speak
I'm tongue-tied
I'm captured
And the moment you smile
I 'm blinded, enraptured

When I'm with you I'm nothing
I'm soulless
But without you 
I am something, not worthless

Don't love me, don't need me 
Don't want me, just leave me
Don't hurt me 
Let me go
