Confusion

Feeling Destructlively Discreet

Creates Chaotic Clutter

Imprisoned Empathy

Repeats Mindful Mutter

Secrets

Secrets of lust become our friends

And guard our minds from knowledge

Conterfeit emotions pretend

To cover and acknowledge

Condemnations

Lay down your weapons

And I'll lay down my words

Hand me forgiveness

And I'll hand you whats yours

Redemption is somethin' earned

Not handed over
Its a challenge to all

The progression is slower

A diamond encrusted throat

Which lacks the appeal

Of a truthful, honest mouth

You try to conceal

Your hateful stares

And hurtful eyes

Reveal no care

For speaking lies

Strive to prepare

For a war within.

The trials declared

Before it begins.

Stream...

Like an itch I cant stop scratching
You play over and over in my head
Where did you go last night
The moon always knows
Its watching you with eyes I cant see
But it never fades
How can you change so fast
Your mind doesn't have the power
My mom called yesterday
Asked about my life
What should I say to someone
Who really doesn't understand
Pretend, misinterpret, gloss over
Its always the same for us
You were the topic that as usual
She continued to miss
Stranger things have happened though...

I AM

I am not your sad story
I am not your claim to fame

I am not your one mistake
I am not taking the blame

I am not your big regret
I am not your shame to carry

I am not your misfortune
I am not your cemetery

I am my own sense of hope
I am my laughter's chime

I am my own dreamcatcher
I am taking my time

Untitled

Hands become preoccupied
Eyes looking self-satisfied
Mind caught in a riptide
Heart is over qualified
Want becoming dignified
Bodies lost in suicide

What Have You Done...

You feel hopeless and haunted
Is this what you wanted

The world is falling around you
And I don't know what to do

I cant hurt you or hate you
Is this what we've come to

Too many words left unsaid
Feel it with your eyes instead

If your soul seems to care
Why cant your heart get there

Whens the line gonna give
Whens it time for love to live

Gotta save myself from you
Before I've done what I cant undo

Broken record, Same old song
Jealousy lays where joy belongs
