the club the fire
the warmth the kill
if I was anything but a molecule spiralling
spinning & changing
in the path of nature's way
flesh of the sunburned
taste of the almighty
leper of the colony
that couldn't survive
off the diseased and mutated
lest we decide how to live
lest we confront how to die
the power of coming
as close to nothing
before believing that belief will save us
In the ages before words
had a man looked at himself
as not worthy for life
and in despair
take it into their hands to end it
contemplation of suicide
a gift to man to use or not
when we decide to live
fully and nobly
then who cares if death comes to end it

you will not be a singer in a foreign land
you will not be a lover if you can not stand
we will sing and love and pray and dance tonight
for there's no other time or space for the concepts
listed in our minds and thrown about like wives
wives that can sing and love and pray and dance every night
to begin to begin with your fathers name
to extend to extend to another plane
of a real place where nothing is real but pain
will you fight use your fists but don't throw it away
just dance in a circle around your pray
living in a shed where your dreams can finally seem real
oh we can sing we can sing we can finally pray
we can dance we can dance we can finally make love
even when the sun seems to run from our gaze

get me out, Im sitting in the garbage bin
you won’t find me laying in the field naked
I’m scared of me
I can’t hold on to you
be it as it may i will never forget
until that tragic day it all ends every which way
even plain eyes can see
its a beautiful day today
didn’t you know i can feel some things
but it isn’t the same as what you think
Its intangible, hell indescribable
but most of all its incredible
I saw you in the playground pressing lips
In the open you can’t get her kicks
lets dictate that its natural
therefore certifiably excusable
intentions are misled when feelings are high
sleeping on the same side every night
lets get tangled and lost
one body is enough
realising life’s crusade
treasure and death, oh a legend for naught
all for lust
and desire
slingin the ol’ rope round your neck
believe in you now lay to rest
please be brave, now your dead

hey… hey...
there you are, it takes 2 to tango
need the 3rd to watch, and then the 4th to judge
we party at 5, only then are we alive
well he's going steady, and she's going steady
it’s a giant rave party
where we're all getting ready to go steady
can you read my thoughts, feel my insides
pull them out, with that rubber glove you own
dirty your hands, don’t dirty your hands
it’s a monkeys job, guess work at best
well it's not right, and it's not fair
but if you wanna be a killer
then you gotta be ready to live
stuttered speech through perfect lips
cloudy thoughts From an AI mind
jesus talks and a teacher dies
the martyrs heir is but a stranger
walk that way, charm the crowd
but if you wanna be together
then you're gonna have to try to change
with the lights on can you see the coming
with the brights not on you won't see them coming
far is the point, long ago did it start
farther it runs, and harder it tries
bring me its tears, and sing me the verse
deeper it will go, but only at its first
everyone is nothing
saving us from being something
everyone is nothing
everything is nothing
meaning all are the same
everything is nothing
in this here world

Vladamir's Recurrence

There's marks on my chin
A discoulorment around an eye
Id'e imagine
Not a one could ever ever tell
But deep down I knew they would
Sitting on a step
Just outside the place of my torment
I'm safe here
It’s a place he'll never ever go
That’s when I saw him
Walking by with alcohol and bread
To deliver
To the very man I most resent
I scream to myself
That he's just a child
And not like
Back then the one that I was myself
There's a danger in his eyes
But how can I judge
What good decisions have I made
I'm like liquid
How can I amass to anything
Just listen here child
Cant you hear I'm sorry for myself
Why must you help
I really should say its not that bad
Oh I wish this was the truth
You’ve come to know me
I've come to trust you
There is this thing
Needing to do
You see what he's done
I can see
You feel what I feel
I can feel
Don’t hesitate
For what
A necessity
For what
Drain his life away
Empty all his veins
I want to see
His limp body
Lets call this an act
How can I
Pretend it’s a game
It is death
I know you don’t
It is death
Like what he's caused
Another way
Now I am distraught
It is all my fault
I'll take my life
If you can't take his
I started to cry
That’s when I caved
Tears to carry all
I cant withstand
His doubts away
Her anguish and pain
Now he'll obey
I love her
Now when I look at her
All I see is him
Still hitting her
With that bloody wound I gave him
At least she is safe
At least my love won't cry
At least my conscious grows hazy
At least my drink tastes strong
A fire burns inside
A fire grows inside
A fire consumes my soul
And I blame her
And I hit her

By myself I will find
A kind of fame that will last
Birds without two legs
Will not fly but die
Born without moral
Make it up as I go
Prostitution
An ancient art of exchange
Not unlike your work now
Selling your crafts and wares
Judge not unless ye be judged
Useless sayings to hurt
Sounds like words from your lips
Predicated on unknown notions
Makes you seem wary
Tired from your remarks and lies
How do feathers grow
From your toughened hide
Cryin, lyin, buyin and dyin
What are we made for
Blinding faithful service
Whats worth looking for
Believe me melancholy
Helps in the pursuit
Babbelin over and over again
Eliminate a connection
No need for worry
Im beside you now
Does that even make sense
Or just a correction
Blaming me forgiving you
Its taken me far to long
Levitate, disobey, lawless sum
You never know with time
It always comes back
to the same god dam thing
You know what that is

It's Funny How We Care
05:24

Brightly born
Nurtured hope
All past death
Let it go
Let it all go
Lyin to kids of four
More at a time
Every year
Every month
Moment by moment
Brides and groom
Lay at your feet
Movin round
Moaning
With pleasures not concrete
Can we go again?
Life on this
Planet can be
Changed by us
Saved by us
Gone by us
Drawn out rain
If we're lucky
So dependant
On what
We are made of
Planets revolve
Regardless
It's funny how we care
Some say a lot
Some just look
Listen and dwell
Bereavement
Plastic chair
Contemplate
All the same
All the same
So far in line
From the front
Staring at
A back of a head
What is she like?
Age is not
A burden
Broken bones
So tired
Can I sit here?
Nice to meet you

threading through blazing snow
oh how come you are alone
in a flow of truth's untold
why will the sun not melt the veins
of this frozen, scorched, blind blind world
memories will soon revive
from the depths of a shallow mind
the call of life demystified
why is the breath not free of greed
tainted, bleeding, darkness of human kind
madness will come
sounds dissipate
senseless, wild, and stripped of all shame
surrender your freedom
sail to the shore
naked and scarred, fishing for hope
why do we walk in fear
the soil shall take what's hers to claim
webs of dreams becoming real
why will death not come to seal
the pain, coming for all that we feel
