Feel the darkness
Creep into my life
Knew it was a matter of time
Before it reared it’s impish head
In the garden
The snake inside the tree
It’s like I’ve bitten the apple
Everything must decay
For life to carry on
So why was it my misfortune
That kept your world alive?
I’m trying to live my lullaby
But you’ve taken that away
What was left for me?
I feel you’re no longer there
And I’m talking to the void
Screaming mind
Purposeless
Relative
Starless fear
Who chooses the winners and losers?
Is it by design?
Is it by the role
Of the dice?
Is it a master plan
And do we all fall in line?
Then freedom of choice
Truly is trickery
Drifting through space
In this constant void
Trying to find
Happiness and meaning down the line
I’m trying to live my lullaby
But you’ve taken that away
What was left for me?
I feel you’re no longer there
And I’m talking to the void
Screaming mind
Purposeless
Relative
Starless fear
Just give me a sign
That you’re really there
An assemblance of order
This doesn’t seem fair
But is fair irrelevant?
Just who do I think I am?
All are lost at sea
Nothing is owed to me
I just want be fancy free
To live in bliss
To exist in society
I’m trying to live my lullaby
But you’ve taken that away
What was left for me?
I feel you’re no longer there
And I’m talking to the void
Screaming mind
Purposeless
Relative
Starless fear
Screaming mind
Purposeless
Relative
Starless fear

The Gulag Archipelago
05:47
|
|||
The sky never looked so dreadful before
It’s painted in grey that never ends
All I am is bare bones and skin
Just what will be my end
The cage or the oven?
We act like we are strong
And can resist the power of the raging mob
It’s a cancer of our existence
To make the other get on their knees
Begging please
Led by the oligarch or revolution fiend
Those who claim to be our savior or son
When each motherfucker on this planet wants a prophet (profit?)
A post modernist winter dread
Our hearts so callous, we no longer value life
We act like we are strong
And can resist the power of the raging mob
It is a cancer of our existence
To make the other get on their knees
Begging please
When will we ever learn what is right and what is wrong?
When the powers that be, fill us
With lies and uncertainty
To keep us fighting and from turning our guns on them?

Day of the Dead
03:00
|
|||
On a day
So full of dread
Dead of Winter
All to myself
The rain
Taps
At my window
Like a ravens beak
Afraid
Of what is inside
Watching every
Step that I make
For the outer
Dark
Awaits
With a
Twisted
Smile
On that day
I ride the hearse
To the place up in the
Stars
I will lay
My guns down
Take a train
To the great
Unknown

Star Dementia
03:29
|
|||
Whenever I gaze into the stars
I’m frightened of what lies beyond
That fate is bound by eternity
Dreamed by the Gods in space or at the depths of the sea
They’re coming to take us all
It’s the end of who we truly are
The truth is we were always insignificant
To eternity and the masters of reality
I feel I could fall into the depths of space
The earth spinning queasily below me
And all this pleasure and pain is for nothing
Inconsequential to the bigger questions
The times I’ve struggled to be free
The truth is it never really mattered
Compared to the limitless out there
All of our existence is on borrowed time
They’re coming to take it all
Including our sanity
And here I sit in a padded cell
The screams out there
Sound like I’m in the depths of hell
They’re coming to take me away…
|

Felt a chill
Run down my spine
Death bled
From the walls
Just like wine
And the rotten stench
Of tragedy
Brought many a man
To their knees
Can’t escape
This Victorian home
An ancestral rite
Yet, it’s inherited me
And the happenings
Within this space
Led me to my death
Now screaming in your face
Aeons before
That time forgot
Within the grasp
Of memory
Gazing out at the rain
Reliving the terror
That keeps me here
I long to be free
From this place
Even if, I no longer exist
In a void
Of nothingness

Lonely Eyes
05:48
|
|||
Staring at a painting
That wears my own face
An aging capsule
Of the mortality in me
Ageless and callous
Against meanings natural law
A ghost to those who feel
They don’t feel me at all
They move on without me
I’m watching them fade and die
My conscience draining
My mask an alluring disguise
Before my lonely ey-es
Before my lonely ey-es
Years of decadence
You mean nothing to me
For I’ve worshipped only beauty
And sensuality
And even if I lay with you
It’ll be your mistake
Our souls will not touch
Only our bodies will copulate
You move on without me
I’m watching you fade and die
My conscience draining
My mask an alluring disguise
Before my lonely ey-es
Before my lonely ey-es
Dark thoughts in the limitless
Of cyclical eternity
From this mortal coil
I long to fly from thee
I gaze into the mirror
I’m frightened at what I see
This hideous creature
Staring back at me
Staring back at me-e
Staring back at me-e
Into my lonely ey-es
Into my lonely ey-es
Into my lonely ey-es

You Bit Me
03:43
|
|||
Inside your lust
For the first time
Is like being bit by a vampire
When you hold me so tenderly
In your soft arms
Illuminating the darkness of my sexuality
Lasciviously you lead me
Into your kink anatomy
Coaxing till I take a bite
As soon as you thrust into me
Pleasing me all over my body
Never been so in love
You hold me like I’m yours
Fondling every erogenous part of me
Even in my mind
Metamorphosing me, till I’m speechless gazing in your eyes
Reeling in our sensual, heightened, reality
The moment when we climax
When lust turns alchemically
To a passionate love
Oh, the pounding of my tale, tale, heart
Ethereally, So blissfully
And then I fall asleep, in your loving arms

Kiss of Death
03:24
|
|||
Sitting in a monastery of black
There is no way to turn back
Fore he’s got me in his death trap
Sitting in a monastery of black
Fate is an authored grand design
Just get me out of here before I loose my mind
Fore I’m stuck inside my hamster wheel
Fate is an authored grand design
Caressed by the kiss of death
The cold of outer dark, the chill of my bones
Fore I can taste the mouth of the reaper herself
Caressed by the kiss of death
The shadow follows wherever I go
The dark night of my soul
His insane laugh and piercing smile
The shadow follows wherever I go

She Never Dreams
03:45
|
|||
When she wakes into her dreams
Her life’s a giant scream
There is no such thing as sleep
When your mind is working against you
It’s beyond this realm of lies
Let the monster of chaos rise
Just look into his eyes
Controlling your every thought
And she says that she never dreams
Cause her head is filled with screams
And she says that she never dreams
Cause her head is filled with screams
Beyond the wall of sleep
Lives the shadow in an unlit attic
As you wield your candle light
The creatures chatter and scatter
Into the subconscious mind
To keep your demons at bay
You have to learn to do the dance
With the stranger who lives inside
And she says that she never dreams
Cause her head is filled with screams
And she says that she never dreams
Cause her head is filled with screams
And after the battle is won
Your soul will be alight
You’ll see meaning in everything
Even your carnal desires
Yet you’ll always come back
To the devil that lives inside
Learn the lesson again and again
Flat circle of darkness and light
And she says that she never dreams
Cause her head is filled with screams
And she says that she never dreams
Cause her head is filled with screams

To Be or Not to Be
03:29
|
|||
Feel the clouds
In the sky
How I wish
I would die
In my world
Where no one can hurt
To myself
With no one to hold
Is it true
Everyone dies?
All alone
Do we fly?
Set me free
To the sea
Infinity
I could jump
Off this cliff
To a place
I no longer exist
Or could it be
I’ll start it again
With this pain
And all of this sin?
Is it true
Everyone dies?
All alone
Do we fly?
Set me free
To the sea
Infinity
If it could be
The only reason to live
Is that I should truly exist
To appease those that I love
To create
Or for a heaven above
Is it true
Everyone dies?
All alone
Do we fly?
Set me free
To the sea
Infinity
Is it true
Everyone dies?
All alone
Do we fly?

Interstellar Dark
04:53
|
|||
Neath the navy blue sky
Below the twinkling stars
I walk with you
Beside the lagoon green
Of the roaring sea
In the cold summer wind
It’s hard to believe
In all this interstellar bliss
We exist and collide
Neath this heavenly crown
I tread the soft sand
Far from reality
Your hand in mine
In our fantasy land
Your purple dress
And your smoky eyes
Of beaming blue
It’s hard to believe
In all this interstellar bliss
We exist and collide
Neath this heavenly crown
Upon this rock
We consecrate our love
In a warm embrace
After the climactic peak
I kiss your head
You kiss my chest
It’s hard to believe
In all this interstellar bliss
We exist and collide
Neath this heavenly crown
Somehow, in this cosmic dark
We found this moment
In time and space

Melancholy of Clouds
04:07
|
|||
The clouds in the sky
Echo, my state of mind
I’ve nothin’ to look forward to
All I wanta do is fall asleep with you
To dream
Of a different world
I’m all-alone
Getting old
Reality
A disgrace
Your love for me?
Has been misplaced
The clouds in the sky
Remind me of your foggy eyes
Pictures of you
In black and white
Come over here
Stay with me tonight
My autumn queen
Of the stars
A crooked
Exquisite smile
Beige hair
Eyes of blue
Lying ‘tween another’s thighs
Now I’m lost
With no where to go
Trudging
Through leaves like snow
All alone, in the pourin’ rain
A melancholy of clouds
Like Novocain

Dandelion Wine
02:52
|

I remember a time
So long ago
When freedom rained
From blue sky
Lush green fields of youth
Out of time
There’ll never be days
Quite like that again
Such a shame
I’ll never be there again
Such a shame
I’ll never live there again
And every summer
Fresh as a peach
Every day
The sun’s warmth shined down on me
The clean air
The smell of the trees
A mind so innocent
Once free
Such a shame
I’ll never be there again
Such a shame
I’ll never live there again

Will This Take Me?
07:02
|
|||
Dreamed so many dreams
And now it seems
This is the thing that will take me down
Started as something small
Then it grew so high
Now the sun tastes like parched sand
Will it take me?
Will it break me?
Will this be the end of it all?
Chaos found me
Dark arms surround me
One trip, a long last fall
My only fear
Is that I’ll leave
Like a tree doesn’t make a sound
The only thing
That makes me smile
Is that the pain will soon go out
Will this take me?
Will this break me?
Will this be the end of it all?
Chaos found me
Dark arms surround me
One trip, a long last fall
At this time I feel
My sanity shed
Into that cosmic abyss
I hear it calling my name
From the other plane…
Ah-ah
And all the lies I told
And all the truth I told
And all the love I felt
And all the love I gave
And all the tears I shed
And all the tears I made
And all the things I hate
And all the things I love
And all the friends I made
And the women I loved
And the women I laid
And all the lives I touched
And all of those who don’t know my name
And all the things I’ve felt
And all the dreams that escaped
And all the dreams I made
And all the times I ignored
The strong hand of love
In the shadows of despair
Not even knowing you were there
Will all be gone in this moment
If only, in the memory of others

I. Mermaids
05:23
|
|||
Thinking of the life that I have led
Stuck inside this large abyss
Muses I’ve loved and I have lost
Sent to me from heaven above
And yet I’m sitting by myself
Alone and buried in my thoughts
How many years have I got left?
My bleeding heart is on the shelf
The mermaids call
They take me to the waves where I am free
The rolling tide
I sink into the bottom of the sea
Sensually
In fantasy
When I was just a little boy
I thought the world was made for me
I wandered alone in reverie
Saw the worlds they didn’t see
And now that I have grown old
Forget the worlds that I had known
Watching time clocks pass me by
Another day without a home
The mermaids call
They take me to the waves where I am free
The rolling tide
I sink into the bottom of the sea
Passionately
In fantasy
Just when will I go back
Dream dreams that come to life?
Forever struggle to survive
Just so I can stay alive
Use this gift that I have got
Helping others to escape
From the working day life
To briefly live in fantasy
The mermaids call
They take me to the waves where I am free
The rolling tide
I sink into the bottom of the sea
Delicately
In fantasy

I felt like I fell into a dark and beautiful dream
My voice cracked
The night we hugged each other
And you were in tears
I could feel your quivering breast
Your sweet, wet, face pressed against my chest
And I felt the desolation of your life
In, this, your darkest hour
Run through my very soul
It seemed we were alone
Amongst the piercing, twinkling, white, stars
That would die out in time
In the obsidian, midnight, bleak winter, sky
While in your hugging embrace
You caressed my back, adoringly, rhythmically, smoothly, and sensually, with your soft, slender, supple, fingers
This was unexpected
How loving, sensual, and personal you were
Your heavenly loins pressed comforting and warm, in endearment, against mine
You spoke softly, sweetly, girlishly, and adoringly into my chest
My heart went soft, in warmth, like honey, at hearing your voice
Speaking as if we were already lovers
As I could feel your warm breath
The smell of the sweet, womanly, fragrance of your soft, thin, long, dark brown, hair
And all I could think is this is the best hug I have ever had in my entire life
I never want to forget this moment with you
So dark and exquisite
I hope I comforted you, like a blanket, in the warmth of my empathy and tenderness
The gloomy essence of your life and this exquisite moment echoed, so much
In my mind, that I could hardly sleep this night
To preserve the ecstasy of the endearing, loving, sensual, heavenly, heightened feeling of this moment
I wrote this song…
Wasted and wounded
Whenever I see your face
I ache to forget
But you are in my dreams dear
The night you cried in my arms
I thought you were my destiny
You scattered my ashes
Into the barren sea
How many years have I carried the flame?
What was the plan for me?
To be alone in all my strife?
I desire to hold you in my arms
I know you believe in god
But this is the truth dear
I didn’t believe
Till I knew you
How could there not be
When I see an angel in front of me?
Your wings cut off
By the bleak world
How many years have I carried the flame?
What was the plan for me?
To be alone in all this stark
I yearn to kiss you in your bed
Please God be good to me
May we forever be in love
Please send a cupid
From heaven above
As the stars die out
May we shine our light
From the darkness
Of what we used to be
How many years have I carried the flame?
What was the plan for me?
To be alone in my own hell
I burn to be within your thighs
I pine for you to hold me in your heart
I long for you to hold me in your arms

III. I Long to Touch You
06:02
|
|||
On an island
Completely adrift
From responsibility
And thoughts of reality
Where I can hide myself
In my perfect version of us
Blankets of fantasy
Free from your destructive heart
Your heart
I long to touch you in real life
You don’t know what you want
Always pushing me away
Casting me out
To my lonely shore
Your eyes
Pierce through my very soul
Black as coal
Speaking to me in tongues
In reverie
You can no longer hurt me
So I keep this love buried
Deep within my heart
My heart
I long to touch you in real life
You don’t know what you want
It hurts to love
And not be loved in return
It hurts to gaze into your eyes
It hurts to see your smile
So bad, it hurts
You’ve made me crawl
On my hands and my knees
To achieve scraps of your heart
There is an opening through the door
Still, you push me away
You tell me things
That I shouldn’t know
While keeping me at bay
As you float away
On your beloved ship
It hurts to love
And not to be loved in return
It hurts to gaze into your eyes
It hurts to see your smile
So bad, it hurts
I long to touch you in real life
You don’t know what you want
Always pushing me away
Casting me out
To the open shore

IV. Soul In Isolation
05:44

Soul in isolation
I can hear you breathing down the hall
Soul in isolation
I can hear you whisper through the walls
And if I had a mind to now
I could call to you
Or I could simply shut you out
No more, would I cry, cry, cry
I give you my time to kill
But you always, always break my will
Or I could sink a sleeping pill
And in the morning could be sleeping still
But most of you are much to ill
Oh, way beyond a surgeons skill
Her feminist hypocrisy
As she let’s him kiss her soft skin
In bondage to misogyny
Though she truly thinks she is free
Yet she keeps my arms at bay
And I’m the poetic romantic man of her dreams
Oh when you think of it, when you think of it
We're all souls in isolation
Alive in here, I'm alive in here
I'm alive in here
Oh, when you think of it, when you think of it
Come here
A word in your ear
A word in your ear
Back to the trees
Back to the trees
My big heart makes me feel small
Wish I had a way to be free from you all
I'd like to escape from reality death
When will it come?
When will it come?
Words that rattle round my head
Struck by lightning, someone said
A diamond bullet in my head
Right in the brain
Are you right in the brain?
Are they right in the brain?
Am I right in the brain?
Am I completely insane?
Will I see the jailers face?
Did my mother lead me to this place?
Will I live to see her face?
Will another come to take her place?
In total isolation
Surrounded by fears
Too many muses, throughout the years
I cannot touch, too many tears
Isolation
Surrounded by crowds
In another world, head in the clouds
I'm alive in here, I scream
But you still can't hear
I’m alive in here
But I feel deader than dead
I'm alive, turn on the light
Turn on the light
Are you afraid of what you’ll see?
The real me
Oh, when you think of it, when you think of it
We're all souls in isolation
Alive in here, I'm alive in here
I'm alive in here
Oh, when you think of it
When you think of it
We're all souls in isolation
We're always searching for something
Sweetest virgin now deflowered
Before my eyes
Now that I’ve seen the darkness in you
When will you forever be erased from my mind?
Dear, dear, dead days I'm longing for you
