A Song For Mark

I've walked in your shadow
Six years and ten to arrive here
Regrets washed by the tides
In an instant I have clarity
Rejection and Betrayal
These wounds cleansed by my bitter contempt.
Your conceited presence
Haunting my every step
And your mask falls in front of me
Revealing what we knew but couldn't see
A mistaken identity
Aspiring to what you never can be
Apocalyptic visions
I've breathed them in my dreams
Blood blossoms on their faces
Obtaining pleasure from the suffering of
Those who've made my life a misery
You've scoffed in my face
Blessed me with this scourging curse
Denounced me publicly
Branding me with the pain of that refusal
Deception and Betrayal
These wounds caused by conformity
Your conceited presence
Haunting my every step
And your mask falls in front of me
Revealing what we knew but couldn't see
A mistaken identity
Aspiring to what you never can be...
And now - with holier than thou on your lips
The paradigm's lost, and the misconception's shattered
As you fabricate your feeble reality
The veil you cast will not cover my eyes...
Pious, worthless
Instilled with fear of emptiness
Your dreams lie crushed
At my feet whilst chaos reigns
I will endure
You are the plague, I am the cure
You won't even be a fucking memory
This is my hour.

Angst

It seems so silent when you speak, and anger washes over me. And all you say is full of shit, it makes no sense. And all we do is break it up into the lies that we see through, and fuck up this last chance again and again. The thoughts that flow and flood and tempt me, never have I felt so empty. Obscuring and blinding vision, everything is so unclear. I can't stop the bleeding, an absence of feeling. It's fucking disturbing how you just can't see it. Have we lost ourselves? Or do we seek another place we could replace with times so bleak? Injustice is our prime condition, corruption's really in this season. No longer will I stand for this. Now it's clear to see you're a malicious deceiver, and I'm no fucking believer of your narrow minded crooked words... If I find myself, I'll dive into the other place I could replace with what I knew... Can we just start again for certain? Because I cannot wait for it to worsen. Wasted lives, suffocate until I can't breathe - you know it's killing me. I want to stop it bleeding out from underneath - you know you're dead to me.

Lost Here Before

Your sympathetic smile tastes like acid; corrosion from the inside, exposing this dysphoria. Sinking away from the safety of these fables into the harsh light of desertion, and exhaustion's medical smell. Dispassion masked in perfume, synthetic in all we do. Our chemical alliance shadows my earning but doesn't fulfill. It stains my mind but seems to serve no purpose, nothing to be gained - it couldn't help me anyway. The painless deconstruction fragments our beauty, solemnly subdued... Our remains lie silent in your absence; they mean nothing in this realm. Cure me with your body so we can live again... Free the world of this broken sunset, never rise again. Take away my only comfort. Vivid feelings in the flames. Tearing off the angels wings, feeding on her tears. Dissonance flows from her being, melting our remains... Tear us apart and leave me longing for your perfect murder. I've been lost here before.

Allocated social casts, dogged persistence to deface what we are. The price we pay for an honest word. Freedom of speech is not free at all. The insidious progress of the disease, paranoia, feeling uneasy. Insider's surreptitious glance. Anything to talk about? I'm worried, I'm distressed and I'm fucking sick. I say all this because I care what you think. I'm kidding on, I don't give a shit, you think I'd lie? I'll sign it in ink. Do you think we cried for our elected brothers? No we died thinking of home. Protect the man to your left, not a false image in your head. This is the creed that we've spread. Blackened blood is all we're here to find. Blackened blood is all we're here for.

Forgotten

Look what I've become; what you've made me into. You've forged my world of freedom into four grey walls of stone. The fountain of youth in which I swam is now polluted and shallow; robbed by drought and time. And all I ask for is a moment, a second to go back in. All I loved is now decayed and it seems like everyone's forgotten. Every other day seems to be grey now; overcast in every season. Now the storm is getting nearer, A censored feeling that nothing's in its place. A hidden entity screaming in our face... Everything still resonates. What we dreamed would stay the same changes. All I loved is now decayed. It seems like everyone's forgotten.
