I started life in a Captain's Bed
With an ever present sense of dread
Kaleidoscope of color and shape
Most will leave, few will stay
Darker than you're told
I was held down and lived in my own space
It was so lonely that way
Of all the shapes I saw floating right in front of me
There were angels and demons alike, but I couldn't tell who was right
I cried, the tears wet my face
I stayed forever in that place
I know it had to end
Everything has its end
No more darkness here
No more worries or fear
I hold a sacred text but I can write over it
You will never ever know
The secret life of common folk
If you saw inside their soul
You would not judge the lies they told
When I travel, I am afraid
Confused by the games they play
I didn't fit in their circle
I did not vibe with those people
On to someone new
Someone just like you
But it was always just a little off
I went back in time and waited some more
In the same dream
We were walking on the streets in June
I laughed as you said, as you looked through the glass
I wouldn't be caught in that dress
I cried, the tears wet my face
I spent so long in that place
I know it had to end
Everything has its end
No more darkness here
No more worries or fears
I hold a sacred text but I can write over it

Homecoming

You slipped into your old ways
Always seeking the next trick
Just like fear
Fades away like a last kiss
Your hungry for a fight and trying to take it all
A subject of the queen's rule, you will never go home, bow down
A stake through your heart
Providence divine
Disappear for days
Into the dark forest
Quiet now, you feel her more and more
Let her take you deeper
A cleansing of the sort
She brings you higher than the stars above
She lays your path and shows you who you are
Her promises will make you believe it's real
But when you reach out it fades, you're captured, you're nothing, and no one

The awful taste
Since you went away
Lose yourself in-place
I tried
I lived and died
I sat all day and night outside
No reason to stay
Feelings go away
I tried
I lived and died
I sat all day and night outside

The Secrets of Sleep
03:40

|
A darkened room, no sound breaks the night
The light outside has disappeared long ago
Hours pass, time stands still
Look at the clock and it stares right back at me
If you find this letter when I go
Look back at everything you know
And you’ll see the warning signs
I was trying to tell you all
Lack of sleep played tricks on me
It revealed the cold reality
I'll leave my letter in a song
You won't have to wait too long
To understand how raw, how cold my heart felt
Easily, not hard to see
I lived one life and the other lived me

Death Roll

We crashed into the water
The dark green waves meet moonlit sky
We hold our hands above us
And grip them tight so we don't float away
I never thought I'd be here with you
You took me down
Turning around in a death roll
You broke me down
And separated my head from my soul
You took me down
Turning around in a death roll
Separating my head from my soul
Your eyes peek out, so cautiously
Slowly making your way in
Waiting so patiently, circling until I give in
Your coy looks distract
As you expertly detach my bones
And I know, it's all for you
You took me down
Turning around in a death roll
You broke me down
And separated my head from my soul
You took me down
Turning around in a death roll
You broke me down
Separating my head from my soul

Birds Fly to Her

Walking the through the trees
A central energy that radiates on the path that I take
And I've been here before
Once she did appear like an angel on the forest floor
You blinded me with light
That shot out of your eyes
Sent to guide me through my darkest night
And you held me so close, helped me to slow down
Breathe in, breathe out
I turned around and then you're there
I fell into your arms like a surrender
Birds gather when you're near
They dive into your arms like a surrender
The wind is your voice
It's calling me
It's drawing me to my higher self
And I see through their lies
The way it was designed
You opened up a portal in my mind
You blinded me with light
That shot out of your eyes
Sent to guide me through my darkest night
And you held me so close, helped me to slow down
Breathe in, breathe out
I turned around and then you're there
I fell into your arms like a surrender
Birds gather when you're near
They dive into your arms like a surrender
I turned around and then you’re there

Postlooperish New York
Enigmatic Post-Punkish Postlooperish seizes the tormented pathos and the emotive tension of trailblazer ’80s bands such as The Cure and The Chameleons, at times haunted by murky undertones, with a right measure of hypnotic rhythms, sparkling guitar work, evocative melodic synth elements, boosted by an alluring and poignant vocal delivery. ... more
