You scraped corners
For kinks in my armour
Does it make you feel good
To know that you're not welcome anymore
Rocks in my face
Oh how you got me
Kicking screaming standing still
We’re finally climbing up the hill
Don’t make me hate the world
Like you do
Although I'm hurt and bruised
You are blind for
He sits among us
I'm not here to start a war
What we all need is something
To adore
You’ve allowed them
To take over
Poison seeping through your veins
And now’s the time to cleanse them
From your brain
Don’t make me live the past like you do
Although I feel it too
It don’t matter
Shapes getting smaller
Forgiveness we may all deserve
But I’m just gonna focus on the verve
Turn your back
Self-focus
Get what you need
Wasted space
On all these entitled thieves
Dressed like lambs but
Wolves with teeth
Caring for no one
Other than themselves
I’m no good
I just add weights to the shelf
Covered in rain
And I’m at it again
Cycle the blame
Till you come to an end
Time wasted years pass me by
Fighting to tell you why
Voices still linger unheard
Screaming to tell me why
Craving in gold
Seeking control
And allowing the vapid
To strangle your soul

Craven
I know you obviously just want to
Hold me down, take a position
Stifle, deny and throw shame on
But now
It’s time to wave a ring round and reign
Throwing care gave of your something
Wasted on eyes that see nothing
I’d rather find a million ways
Than complicate
Come with me
Stay with me
And you’ll find
A way
Come with me
Stay with me
And find
Another way
I know you
Feel trapped in
You’re craving ways
To fall off
It’s crazy how the obvious thing
Feels
Dragging through dirt and rain
Burning a rope to skin
Scarring the mind with when
Pulling away from them
I always find a million ways
To complicate
Come with me
Stay with me
And you’ll find
A way
Come with me
Stay with me
And find
Another way
We flee the other
To feed the other
To lead the other
To feed your mind
Unfree your mind
Un-feed your mind
To free your mind
Crawling back to you again
Come with me
Stay with me
And you’ll find
A way
Come with me
Stay with me
And find
Another way

Breach

Handcuffed barters
Played the martyr
Lying till my whole head
Was doused
Caught in circles of
Wanting what turned away
Pray to skies to rebuild my faith
Taken so far
All those things that I found
I won’t follow
Just to take a bow
Take me so far
All those things that I found
Can’t be followed
All is worth it now
Tried to tame her
Go on blame her
Dangle carrots
And lead the way
Dragged to trial and
Expected to justify
You won’t get a word
Out of me
Taken so far
All those things that I found
I won’t follow
Just to take a bow
Take me so far
All those things that I found
Can’t be followed
All is worth it now

Shout
03:54

In violent times
You shouldn't have to sell your soul
In black and white
They really ought to know
Those one track minds
That took you for a working boy
Kiss them goodbye
You shouldn't have to jump for joy
You shouldn't have to jump for joy
Shout
Shout
Let it all out
These are the things I can do without
Come on
I'm talking to you
Come on
They gave you life
And in return you gave them hell
As cold as ice
I hope we live to tell the tale
I hope we live to tell the tale
Shout
Let it all out
These are the things I can do without
Come on
I'm talking to you
Come on
Shout, I'm talking to you
Shout, I'm talking you
Shout, I'm talking to you
Come on
Shout, I'm talking to you
Shout, I'm talking you
Shout, I'm talking to you
Come on
Shout
Let it all out
These are the things I can do without
Come on
I'm talking to you
Come on
Shout
Let it all out
These are the things I can do without
Come on
I'm talking to you
Come on

Surrogate

Floating away
You’re spinning to your own scent
Needing all eyes to see
Thank you distance but
Still tightly wound and heart coiled shut
Can’t break free
From this illusion
Hollow inside
Holding nods as the prize
These illusions
Are taking control
Flaring ego
And before you know
Your focus goes
Self-obsession reigns through you
Dive back to
Your surrogate for craving
Throw it away
You’re spinning to this old scent
Feeding the same disease
An innocuous sting
One step and you’re back in its swing
And you know right away
Yet you keep going
To your surrogate for craving
And you know it’s true
Covered in moire and dew
Surrogate, surrogate
Surrogate this pain
I know you will see the mine
It’s a circle
Cull the reigns right back to you
Circumvent your
Surrogate for craving

Hyperextend

Lift me up
Then slip off the gloves
Till the walls came down
Mirrors spun around
You appoint the blame
Then demand silence
And go sit back down
And just watch time drown
I want something more
Don’t say that you made me
Pray someone else will fake
Hyperextend to you
But nothing will change
While they’re the crossfire excuse
Wait
When she’s already gone, sorry
You can’t just keep turning your back on
Face
What keeps you the same
Who knows where to find
Some peace of mind
Diamonds on the floor
These cycles are dangerous
Imprisoned what I stood for
Doorways out of youth
And I’ve placed too much
Stock and time believing you
Wait
When they’re already gone, sorry
You can’t just keep turning your back on
Face
What’s kept you the same
I hope you will find
Some peace of mind
No I don’t want to leave you
No I don’t want to stay here
No I don’t want to leave now
No I don’t want to stay here
Oh and there’s another one
Steer clear
Oh here comes another one
Steer clear
Oh yea there’s another one
Speak clear
Oh here comes another one
Stand still
Wait
Now I’m already gone, sorry
I can’t just keep turning my back on
Faith
Won’t keep you the same

Pareidolia

Running around a hurtle
Tip toeing about
Hoping to in your good grace
Be found
Target ahead seemed harmless
Easily moved
Sway their hands are tied
Stick the knife inside
Take me to the rising sun
My eyes bleeds rude awakening
Trusted to act in good faith
Poison from your mouth emanates
Your rose tint just gets in the way
So quiet not to fight
Too ‘I apologize’
Your self-lulling’s bullshit and staged
Till craving’s all you know
How to let it go
Eyes pointing forward, awake
Trust in time you’ll rise
In time you’ll realize
That what they think
Makes no difference
All the rain will granulate
And you don’t ever have to beg
With me know that you’re okay
I’m going not to go insane
So scream until you find
No ‘I apologize’
You wish you could be in my way
Was craving just to know
How to let it go
Eyes open, knowing- awake

Planes
03:42

You’re in a phase
Imagined maze
Carving a way
To float
She stole away
To find her space
Eternal tide’s
A flow
Purple arrays
Caught me today
Bring me to
Brighter views
Taken
Awake
He left
To nowhere
And I
Might say
It’s here
You’ll find it
You know it’s just a little bit too late
You’re going around me
I can’t
Accept your
‘Little bit too late’
I owe you nothing
Held onto your plane
Tables are turned on you
You should have seen it then
Little too late
Oaths I clung to
In dogged youth
Revolving word
Remote
Tumbling news
Done bending truce
Cleansing the brine
To glow
Blue tapered wedge
Right at the ledge
I launch
Into the muse
Taken
Awake
He left
To nowhere
And I
Might say
It’s here
You’ll find it
You know it’s just a little bit too late
You’re going around me
I can’t
Accept your
‘Little bit too late’
I owe you nothing
Held onto your plane
Tables are turned on you
You should have seen it then
I owe you not a thing for it
Clinging to your plane
Tables are turned on you
You should have seen it then
Little too late

Privateer

Even though it’s hard to face
I’ve waited way too long
Trust to obliterate
No longer drenched in doubt
Not hiding like before
Send a quiver into the water
Followed by a rake through the blood wound
All your words shot down with the raven
Let’s play like we don’t need to
Curtsy down to
Sit and listen
There you’ll find a home
Hoping it’s away
Everyone around
Plays deaf to the sound
Even though I want to say
You’re different then before
I see that you just want them all to bow to
Fallen grace through shouts and threat blades
Made me circle
There you’ll find a home
Hoping it’s away
Everyone around
Plays deaf to the sound

Seasons Change
Past versions wash away
Reclaim again
A tidal wave
Mourning comes
Over trust withdrawals
Lost in a cold enclasp
Of stone full traps
What you give
Challenging to accept
Foreign to the pained
Recipients
Time
The when to learn
Dictates the curve
Are we justified?
Made up of clocks
Elastic sponge
And built to expire
Seasons Change
Past versions wash away
Reclaim again
A tidal wave
Seasons Change
Images rearrange
Reclaim again
A final wave
Floating vows
Lower than drones of worms
Gliding right through the ground
Form empty sounds
Steaming glass
Focusing on the lack
That thing that shaped the bruise
Comes to renew
Climb
It came through winds
Swung back again
And rained on desire
Presents as though
They think know
They’re not worth your time
Seasons Change
Past versions wash away
Reclaim again
A tidal wave
Seasons Change
Images rearrange
Reclaim again
A final wave
