Calm
Aching
Torn
Hissing loud
Riverside
Dawning on her eyes
Riverside
Changes permanent
The water's running calm
Aching hands ashore
Streams are filling in between
A familiar cry
Tearing through the morning
The loudest sound of the universe
Savage prisoner
Fled towards the light
Candles welcome your arrival
But summer days are gone
And by the time you'd noticed
What the sun inflicted, you were on fire
You're on fire
Ill
Arms out
Rid
Digging itself down, deep down
Old demons scratching the surface
Unclean hands intertwine
Benign was the solitude
It feeds the powers that flicker our vacuity
Loose,
All damage left behind strays
Storms
Drenching barren grounds
Scars
The scars in the face of God
Align
S h e g a v e h e r f a c e t o t h e w a t e r s o f t h e r i v e r
While freedom's tragedy keeps shortening the ends
Memories come to life
For your relief
Tonight

Echo Chamber
Trapping thoughts
Instinct rejection
Outer relief
Low gravity
Sinergy
Iridescent
Soaked in mud
Born of darkness
Raised to steer
No sense of self
No memory
A trace of blood enlightening me
An unnatural will to live
A trace of blood scarred in too deep
Guidance towards the bleak
Shattered reflex
Part of me
My ambivalent
Inherited disease
A cold fingered
Remedy
Heavy eyelids
Open skies
For the birds are restless
Enslaved to roam
Blue lights
Bring me home
A trace of blood enlightening me
Wearing out my shadow's skin
A trace of blood running too deep
Brushed away
It's a territorial nakedness
With piercing roots from the past
Locked in discontinuity
Free to everlast
I accept your violence
Down to the best of my intents
Lost in your solutions
Find us safer inside
I resemble the emptiness
Cursed upon your every attempt
Harvesting your delusions
Find us safe from the light
Safe from home
Closure heals the devised hearts of wire
Damnation assured the fall of another sun, black as the day I faltered from grace
Drowning in the thorns of life's embrace

Winter like shallow graves
Burying the cinders
From a fall oblivious to the fields
An eerie presence
A ghost, faceless and quiet
Silenced by the black season of the land
A heritage of scars
Framed on your breasts
Earned after long years of suffering encaged
Now put down your covers
Unveil to me
Before being your outcast
I am still your breed
Then I will see what is real
Digging the craters where fevered crowds failed
And majesties starved
Open wounds that ceased to recover
The blood-washed earth turned
The beaten cheek of indifference
Skinned by the hunger of the land
Standing before my dynasty
I taste my own tongue
And tripping from the poison
I embraced the cause in me
The weight of the oceans
At a drop of a tear
Breaches the surface
And floods
Into your hands
My gift of shame
Burning bright
Chasm of fortune
Dives below
Bringing skyline close
See this child
Walk that mile
It feels like he always believed
In his heart a secret
Incomplete
Long retrieved
Of taking all he felt deserved from the start
Unleash the fires
That cleanse the inside
And lead the way to a new morning
Somewhere beyond these gates
A sense of belonging
To endure what secrecy's deformed
The womb was sewn
The offspring was splattered out
No compromise
The reverie berthed in darker shores
The sand was cold
Yet warmed by virgin feet
And every stumble
Would drain the venom off the rotten marrow
The wanderlust
Found its dead end underground
Now the skies too
Became a promise to these orphaned eyes
Gone
Far beyond the pale
Lost
Swallowed by the roots of the unknown
Sovereign
This navel cord will be tangled around my throat
Forevermore
And in my wildest dreams
Caught in descent
Still lies a promised land of glories and wealth
Lay all your darkness
Drown with me
For all that is held dearly
Is fated to deceive
Then you will feel the hurt you've done to me

True lies in a mother's eyes
Will restore my faith
Then bring me where I used to belong
In pale white
We come alive
I've seen it all
I've gave it all
Now I seek my deliverance
Innocence took it all
We're nevermore in that photograph
Years revelled at the shoreline
Fading…
Memories, will you confort me in the break of my delusions?

This is absolution
When the morning bleaches
I watch the river die
In the course of my regrets
Where I seek forgiveness
There are no willing hearts to forgive
Before my probing eyes
Running undercurrent
Remorse's sovereign
And in my witching hour
That distant mirage revealed the end
This is a pain not felt
The cult of silence as a white weapon
Stitches together the fabric of our souls
I am the sum of evil
This guilt can't leave behind
The rope is loose around my neck
The seeds are scattered right where they fell
Beneath the surface bleeding
The forsaker still remains unseen
Mark the death of this solemn curse
Walk the path that never ends
Gasp the air from this passionate sigh
Supress the urge hopelessly enshrined
The leash of all my fears
(I am above the circle
entangled by despair)
Is held by denial
(I lure the inept receiver
Recycling loss again and again)
When the morning bleaches
She watches the river die
In the course of her regrets
Where she seeks forgiveness
There are no willing hearts to forgive
Behind the rust of our youth
The shroud of atonement
Is still draped over us
And above cycling waters
There will be air… too thin, too rare.

Share with me the soil
For mine's burnt out of its harvest
Take my heart into your hands
The waters are healing now
Feel them flood from my eyes
Take my heart into your hands
As silence's taking over
I resign of my controls inside
(Take my heart into your hands)
And if I sip that last drop of freedom
I'll dive into an ocean of fire
(Take my heart into your hands)
All that is mine
Be the first one to know my most devious sounds
A shadow crossing daylight
The dark glow from this stain
Through wavering discharges of sorrow waste
in me, in you
Two body-territories to be discovered but never tamed
We wade through this mortal coil
All gods ripped asunder
With fever
And unquenchable wonder
The matter of all my pain
Is hidden behind the lie
That once I fall from grace it opens a scar
My heart, holed by their talons
Never invited here
Now breaks my senses loose to comfort you
Still life consumed in a still flame
Our tragedy unclaimed
Secluded by frozen burdens
No sight of morning
A shrine becomes a shelter
Blood on her fingertips
Hindering her own salvation
The gold of the shores
Craved from inception
Swallowed be thy shame
And lead us to our own completion
Hesitation
Momentary
Further now
Waking every demon
Asleep inside (Deep inside)
To take the toll of a lifetime
Prudence slaves (slaves and scars)
Just take my heart into your hands
Set it free
Set it free
Set me free

A Greater Freedom

Trenches again
Define me and you
This land that I aim
This body I claim
Are my finitude
All for one
Is all for nothing
My reign's deserved
Oceans, forests
Bring them all to me
I'm cattle, I'm shepherd
The one to crush the throne of consternation
There's a lament of perdition
Coming to break all the others free
A god in its own right
Life-sized and greedy
I'm nurturing the pain
I'm breathing life in every source of contempt,
Fear or deceit
Above the heights of reason
Beyond the instinctive shields
I'll bury myself in the quicksand
You, the cure of yesterday
The menace of repentance
Haunting the abyss
While turning away
Leaving nothing to amass
Nowhere to be found and
No way to return
In free falling
Sculptures of salt,
A feeling's death,
To witticism led
Now the mark on her forehead
Reads the epitaph
In the lair of exile
Stagnation retreats
Here is the after
Fathomlessly
As all dark reveals
And from purest of throes I struck gold
In the chase of liberty
The tyrant's soul is undressed
Shame exposed
This dazzling
sun will no more
Grip me here
Its fetter shards though shall linger in me
To eventually make a tyrant out of you
Now the tyrant is you
This is the freedom I chose for my own
