Lord of the Void

A prism prison
ensnares my eyes
A rainbow of colors
begins to rise
Do I see true
Is that really blue
Or is what I see
Just a memory
I stand alone
on a hollow stone
Far from life
and far from home
This dagger I raise
As it consumes the light
Clears a clean path
And wrongs what was right
I walk straight on
into into the dark
dragging my feet
and snuffing the spark
The emotions I have
I aim to avoid
I can't be touched
I'm Lord of the Void.

Adrift

Fighting the current
Embraced by full tide
Eroding slowly
My core has died

I give up slowly
My soul needs rest
I don't have what it takes
To get out of this mess

As the questions flow
in an endless stream
I lay here in darkness
wanting to scream

What is she doing
What do I do now
Is it easy for her
to forget her vow

I'm adrift on an endless sea
Buried beneath the sands of time
I don't know what's happening
All I know is that you're not mine.

Rock Star Mirror

Moon beams dance
with drops of rain
I adjust my shackles
and stretch my chain
How long has it been
since I've been free
Do I still know
who's the real me
In through my window
the moon beams glide
calling softly
beckoning to guide
My soul unfettered
unlike my body below
begins to ebb
and begins to flow
Through the bars
that hold me down
through the rain drops
all around
The tug of my guide
pulls me along
I'm in full throe
of it's musical song
Upward and onward
through clouds we rise
hearing without ears
and seeing without eyes
Tasting the edge
of the atmosphere
I open my mind
and swallow my fear
In the vacuum of space
I fly alone
to the rock star mirror
I call my home

This rock star mirror
bathed in pure light
Lifts my spirit
and calms my fright
Of this rock star mirror
in a shadow so black
Nothing can survive
it's icy attack
This rock star mirror
master of the seas
embraces the oceans
in a giant squeeze
Yet this rock star mirror
is warped inside
Soaked in brilliance
but full of false pride
For the moon beams emitted
Are just like me
Just a reflection
Of what they used to be.

The Hunter

Too far below the streams
of what was to be
and what was to come
I saw the thing
and I started to run
into the woods and far away
I tried to hide
I tried to stay
but the moon was too bright
and there was fresh packed snow
you could where I went to
you could see where I went fro

finally my tracks
they disappeared
and if you could follow
you would hear

the sound of my screams
and the crunch of my bones
the smell of my blood
and its rich undertones
the rasp of my breath
and the muffle of my cry
the incredible violence
before the silence of my die

on and on I blazed a new path
one unknown that required new math
I set my sights just a little higher
In my soul was a burning fire
There was a peace unknown
as I reached inside
The river was deep
and the river was wide
I could cross it
of that I knew
My knowledge was floating
in a brain canoe
I was blind to the rocks
as the water went white
The current got swift
the passage got tight

Under the waves
I disappeared
and if you could follow
you would hear

the sound of my screams
and the crunch of my bones
the smell of my blood
and its rich undertones
the rasp of my breath
and the muffle of my cry
the incredible violence
before the silence of my die

If you can master
this murderous stream
maybe you can wake up
from this childish dream
Until you do
You're cursed to exist
Gritting your teeth
And clinching your fist.

Blue Sleep

Who will drop the curtains now
strings attached it will not stop
Lights are on but where's the crowd
I'm alive I don't know how

Cleave your skin
And blow your mind
Destroy all you've
Left behind

Drown your soul
And bleed your heart
Forget me
Every part

Gone are the days I knew my name
You stole those words and ran away
Nameless I sit in an empty hall
Friend of none but master of all

Cleave your skin
And blow your mind
Destroy all you've
Left behind

Drown your soul
And bleed your heart
Forget me
Every part

Close the chapter
Embrace the after
Turn the page

Close the chapter
Embrace the after
Swallow your rage

Close the chapter
Embrace the after
Turn the page

Close the chapter
Embrace the after
Open the cage.
