the lines etched upon my face
symbolize forgotten lies of yesterday's disgrace
traveled cobblestones of dreams
fastened by roadsigns leading to empty streets
the lines etched upon this face
symbolize the crimes of an older man's disgrace
never a promise of anyone's fulfilled
praying the waters at bay, be still
this time I'll take my time
this time I'll wait as the older man takes mine
this time I'll take my time
this boy's done time inside his mind
I won't spend my time
waiting for you to get yourself aligned
I can't live my life for you
this boy, boy, has been confused
the lines etched upon this face
run very much deeper than the smile on your face
let's take all these toys outside
this boy's no longer capable of holding it all inside
the shadows consume lines upon my face
take a look around, the result of our disgrace
you say you'll feel better, to feel out of place
the shadows cast a smile on my face

six under sound

these four walls confine
confine a mind eroded by time
these walls restrain
holding back the rain of a glacier's pain
these walls are mine
built of a steel like no other kind
these four walls confine
hands bound by faceless signs
these walls can't contain me
by mercy's grace I shall become free
your absence, in time, will become obscured
by stainless steel walls, you rest assured
blessed be the powers that be
that built these walls that contain me
define a mind that can not see
down six, under sound, is where I'll be
these walls aren't built for two
these walls never quite had room for you
these days I've become sick
by separation, yeah, and distance
lift you up, tap a vein, inhale deep the rain
sit you up, tap a vein, it will tear me down
six feet I'll be found
six under sound

crickets

sleep it comes like a fevered dream
dislocated, and hauntingly, it seems
she taunts her cold and lost embrace
tears and fears rush gently upon my face
hold me tenderly, help me patiently
through this moment of absolute despair
a recurring dream of a morbid affair
save me from this disrepair
I can't sleep this night
not without a fight
this room around me crawls
another deranged nightfall
sleep it comes like a fevered dream
dislocated, and hauntingly
Edgar Allen's prose and his 'slices of death'
he takes my last breath
when will my gate's lock break?
or will this self-loathe seal my fate?
let me rest, it's all I ask
crickets that crawl upon my chest
let me rest
let me rest
let me rest
it's all I ask

today I taste the morning sun
so soothing to these lips
I resolve to hold myself
calm without fits
but again, today I lie
another part of me has died
the sun it burns so deep inside
how I've lost the strength to even try
hold myself, drown myself, burn myself
relieve deceiver, accosted me
bless myself, drown myself, rape me
relieve deceiver, all cause of me
in place of glass, a dark stone wall
you held the keys to make my castle fall
I stabbed them deep, I burned my eyes
and now you stand above my size
relinquish the throne, I'll never be king
only a cowardly weakling
give it up, give it up, give it up
give it up, give it up, or let me down
now, find what's light
now, find my dawn tide's sight
now, taste my sun
tell me sweetly I'm not the only one
you gave to me
you took from me
and now you smile?
hypocrisy
bathe in me
relinquish me
I'm leprosy
now, find what's light
now, find my dawn tide's sight
now, taste my sun
tell me sweetly I'm not the only one
