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.
