Rend

Assumption, innocence through charades
Appearance kept up, and then, down go the shades
The fear comes crashing back
Panic setting in the eyes
(Shades down)
A voice or fist is raised
deafened by the silence
(Rain down)
Disquiet brushed off to ease the fear;
They're someone, somewhere, anywhere but here
Inaction - doubt or ignore the signs
and rend the thought; They're friends of yours and mine
The fear comes crashing back
Panic setting in the eyes
(Shades down)
A voice or fist is raised
deafened by the silence
(Rain down)
Friends of yours and mine
No behaviour is unique,
only turned the other cheek
This silence, a defeat.

Fresh New Hell
03:36
|

Circles underneath my eyes
(Circles that betray the reason)
They'll stay forever, I surmise
(I shouldn't, but it is the season)
Wide awake in a sleeper's town
(With a vermin's mindset and plight)
Take me in, now that I'm down
(Bedbugs will feast tonight)
Stay in bed, abide the dread
Fragment thoughts drift into the head
Overdue on tact, a mental cul-de-sac --
Make yourself an island made of flesh
Broken in and preconcieved
(These feelings aren't fiction)
If empty rooms are to be believed
(They speak with such conviction)
Wide awake in a sleeper's town
(Pretending to be asleep)
There's nothing left to be found
(The circles start to close)
Stay in bed, abide the dread
Fragment thoughts drift into the head
Overdue on tact, a mental cul-de-sac --
Made myself a new hell, oh so fresh

Fight Forever
03:18
|

Fawning over nothing -
Flickering lights that saturate
and wreck the trust in
a self you already hate
Tempers propped on a crutch,
sealed by an invisible lock
that's cold to the touch --
Colder still is the pleasure it blocks
Take heed: It'll never leave
Break needs -- I threw away the key
Demanding its affection,
Purveyor of a guilty hand
that builds connection --
subconscious flames are fanned
and from a single ember
it spits out a nemesis that I
will fight forever,
with no hope that it truly will die
Take heed: It'll never leave
Break needs -- I threw away the key
Take heed: It'll never leave
Break needs -- I threw away the key

Another Troy
04:00
|
|||
Kept yourself so busy on and on, and yet now, you hurry
Pining for the summers come and gone -- now, should there be worry?
Hold fast until we break --
cold hands, colder soon enough
Abeyance too much to take
Go on, as if it's all a bluff
Stubborn and lost
Sit back and wait for last year
An abandoning of the future
Stubborn and lost
Like a ship into a storm
We cross our way into summer
Joy at expense of joy,
ripped up without a demand
There was another Troy
and she held fire in her hands
Pining for the summers come and gone -- there should be worry
Stubborn and lost
Sit back and wait for last year
An abandoning of the future
Stubborn and lost
Like a ship into a storm
We cross our way into summer
