Bloody Blaze!

I stare at the moon while blue skies surround me,
I gaze at the horizon as the tides drown me,
I wait with my feet cemented in the ground, waiting on something for which I cannot account.
Now I'm constantly anticipating some fake life,
People magazine fantasies, to live is to lie.
And to love is to die.
Now tell me, where did my life go,
officer, help me,
it seems I’ve lost my soul.
I lost it so long ago,
Hilltop in the snow.
Now My birthdays always come and seem to scare me, I’m perfectly incomplete.
moving forward in time, progressing in my journey, or so they say 'cuz
I know that I’m not doing enough,
Pulling up roots, I’m not doing too much.
So I smile in my wrongful ways,
Here’s to more cracked days.
Bloody Blaze!
Let the fire grow for just a bit now,
don’t snuff it out,
watch it all burn down.

I’ve lived three lifetimes through your eyes,
and now I’m sure that I want to die,
See I’m watching static on a TV Screen,
and now I’m sure that I want to scream,
See it’s all smoke and mirrors,
I just want to dream,
To escape to another life where,
nothing is exactly what it seems,
Hemmed in these walls for too long,
The brown dog has lost his self-esteem,
Truthfully, I’ve lost all my dignity.
So low I keep, below my charred feet,
All of my hopes and dreams,
And some of my plans and schemes,
See Darling Honey all I seek,
Is a touch of lust and some form of spontaneity,
In these streets, So low I tend to seep,
To these cracks and these crevices that lay below my feet,
Where no-one dare lays, where no one dare sleeps,
Can’t you please today just save me.

I Live in the Shadows
02:41
|
|||
|
I live in the shadows,
I descend where my mind goes,
Washing up in the shallows,
Too quick to drown in my woes,
I’m surrounded by my idols, idolatry is vital,
Practicing my lies like I’m next up at a recital,
Hand me the fucking title, better bing your bibles,
Heard God don’t like ugly then he must hate the suicidal.
Fuck If I know I take comfort in my rifle,
All y’all talking about what you DID like you behind Sybil,
This life a cycle, ups and downs in time go,
I dance like Michael and wonder where my mind go.
Where did it go from here, where did it go?
Where did it go from here? See I don't know.
I’ll be freeeee someday
Ease my mind, I’ll fly away
I’ll be freeeee someday
Ease my mind, I’ll fly away
Yeah I’ll leave this place,
I’ll leave this place,
Yeah I’ll leave this place,
I’ll leave this place.
Imma leave this place
so sick of this here rat chase,
I have lost the race,
I have lost my way.

Doublespeak

Doublespeak,
She thinks she feels me
But she don’t know the real me,
Puddles I seek,
Lord smile down on me,
I feel so lonely,
I feel so homely, I’m just incomplete,
I Smile at the Sunlight
as my windows comfort me,
oh no,
just another lost soul.
Oh no,
down in the dirt, 10 toes.
Hurt soul.
I got morass of the mind,
It seems I've lost track of time now,
It seems I’m never outside,
As the light boils my insides,
These bottles in which I confide,
They disclose no danger signs,
I sink into my armrest,
As the cherubs around me share a sigh.
They share a sigh, for this lost guy
for this lost guy now.
Now lord, please smile down on me with all your crooked teeth.
I’ll be heading up there soon, so you can see the real me.
I’ll rise at dawn, I’ll be up at noon, so you can feel me.
There I’ll present to you, my holy truth, there you can damn me if you choose.
Either way It seems I’ll Lose.

Have you ever seen god,
I saw him yesterday,
He was reading the news,
With a smirk plastered on his face,
He told me kid,
Don’t you know that it’ll never fade,
All of these dark nights,
And all the shame within your face.
Now I’ve seen Heaven,
And it doesn’t seem to look like you.
Don’t bet on 27,
'Cause paradise won’t reach out to you.
You’re all alone, I wish you well,
You’re overgrown in a blistering hell,
My time is up I do confess,
I’ve given my all, I tried my best.
But it’s alright, it’s my time to go,
So choose to live or sincerely don’t.
Let your demons cave,
Or let your angels sing,
Choose to be brave,
Or let yourself sink.
God bless choice, such a wonderful thing.
All of this noise for a great nothing.
All of this noise, for a great fucking nothing.

I’m on the edge of my seat, girl you got me choking,
You see my guts on the floor, now I’m wide open,
The bar is closing, this night is upon us,
The sky is open as we forget what god taught us.
pair of thorns lost at birth, we’re both hurt.
But we’ll recover in due time,
Bunch of misanthropes just tryna do right,
See I so often lose sight of what’s important,
Your eyes gaze at me as if I'm foreign
Summertime heat baggy clothes are what I’m sporting,
Baggy clothes baggy eyes, I hide in my lies,
And I hide in these times that pass me by.
I’m on the highway now,
Doing 100 on the freeway,
I got God’s eyes now,
Nobody can touch me.
Shadows are my friends,
The edge is getting closer,
I’m now rearing the bend,
It’s time to plunge over.
Upside-down, the moon stares at me,
The stars dance as a form of therapy.
Another time another night you stumbling home,
I just hope you won’t forget me,
It’s so sad, the girl with the heart made of stone,
Has become my worst enemy.
Now all the pastimes, all the past nights Of our lives.
They’re now, some more knives, which stab my insides.
such a tilted life.

Girl, You're an Alien

Girl you’re an alien,
where did you come from,
I am a smoking gun,
but now I’ve found someone.
Why did you choose to bless me,
two years ago.
See When you made the best me,
you completed my soul.
Let’s lay forever here, underneath the blood moon,
it was my soul you cleared, now my heart you choose to consume.
Butting heads and budding roses,
Forever dead, heart out of focus.
Girl you’re an alien,
where did you come from,
I am a Sinner’s son,
but now I’ve found someone.
Why did you choose to bless me,
two years ago.
See When you made the best me,
you completed my soul.
Girl, I owe you the world, and I know it.
You love to dance, you love to twirl, and you show it.
So go, run away from me.
just go, flee to safety.

Self-Preservation
02:34
|
|||
|
For three days now going on four,
I’ve been in self preservation,
I stare at the white walls of my room,
Avoiding thoughts of self-castration.
Nothing is worse I fear,
than feeling alienated in your own nation,
Swear this a first my dear, I’m swamped by trepidation.
Bouts of war and bouts of peace, I’m my own Tolstoy,
I live in my own world, so it’s my right to fucking destroy,
Destroy this earth, i need new turf,
I need new teeth, I need a new leader,
I see the world hanging from a tree of cedar
In the green leaves all I see is her.
in the green leaves, all I see is her,
in the green leaves,
in the green leaves,
In the green leaves, all I see is her
in these green leaves, she makes my heart bleed.
In these Green leaves.
In the Green leaves, she makes my heart beat,
In the green leaves, she makes my heart bleed,
What I see in her I also see in me,
It's been months since my mind felt truly free.
She’s a bloodsucker, she's nothing but a flea,
So often she plants the seeds which make me seethe,
Mad when she stays, even worse when she leaves.
mad hatter of my heart, she’s the queen.
Queen of everything, she owns it all,
Without her Berlin Wall I might fall,
Without her I can’t stand,
feet gone buried in, quicksand.
Without her I’m buried alive, I’m barely a man.

The Morning After
02:07

|
It’s the morning after, things shouldn’t have happened but they did,
There’s lip stick on the mirror, your tears are magic, they've turned into mist.
And it’s never been clearer, I am nothing but a damn villain,
The Devil’s never been nearer, he soothes me, as I bathe in sin.
I bathe in sin, I’m truly nothing,
I am a weapon of deceit to all my friends.
Will I die with my lies and take them to the grave with me,
I heard God saves, but there ain’t no saving me.
She says I am depraved, I am unholy,
But she’s half of this bludgeoned matrimony. \
It's just her and me.
She thought she was innocent,
fallen victim to, A burst of passion.
Now out she is lashing,
she is guilty too, fallen to a waste man,
Her heart and her mascara ran,
Daggers of distrust, couples I’m crashing.
Devil loves Prada and some passion,
Last night was infamy, last night was magic.
Last night was magic, last night was tragic,
I’ll never forget the touch of your silk fabric.
You always were so High fashion.
These feelings are cemented, deep in the ground,
They can never be unearthed, they can never be found again,
This is the end. Forget me.

Holy fuck,
it seems I’m constantly stuck,
Stuck in this mental rut,
Darling come and show me love,
Come and be my anchor,
hold me through the days,
come and be my savior,
through my ways,
just please today, release my pain.
I say…
Write what you want, I bet you say what you will,
Write me out of your life, come and complete my will,
Put my stuff on the lawn, throw me out like it’s nothing,
You Gone in a flash, I find that pretty troubling,
But I get it, you gone, moved on, found someone new,
It’s just that I can’t do that while my heart is broken in two.
It’s just I can’t do that since I swear that you were my glue,
Now what the fuck am I supposed to do?
See I just can’t do that again, see you were my best friend,
now I’m trying to act whole but I’m tired of playing pretend.
Now Winter coming, my heart cold, I think I have reached,
I have reached the end.
See, Darling, honey, I think I’m drowning,
In here, these waters surrounding,
So clear, I know where I’m heading,
I see red, I ain’t talking heaven. I think I’m dead
Honey this is the end, I think I’m dead, shine a light to my body you won’t see me again.
No more parties, no more meetings with friends,
Now I’m nothing more shawty than a Skeleton.
Nothing but a skeleton,
hanging in your closet,
for you to adore but never visit again.
Oh, such a chore,
I’m dead…
