Barbed Wire / Spur of Moment
Barbed Wire
Lying in bed
flat on my back
this needing of you
makes my heart black
dreaming the dreams that bring you back
death of my innocence makes me want to attack
barbed wire crown is crushing my head
this missing of you
leaves my heart dead
I'll long for you always
as long as always may be
I'll love you always until you love me.

Spur of Moment
Steeped in the deadness of it all
Ridden on life till' it left me empty
stupidity is the lowest common denominator
but lust equalizes us all
Saw red and did my bloody work
Felt helplessness when it was done unto me
revenge , retribution
hunger, avarice
the sins of us all, some things eat at you forever
some things you eat forever
when I was young, I thought I'd escape
but I'm as dead as the rest of you
I won't base my actions on the uncertainty of heaven
but my heart is as broken as yours
living day to day in degrees of isolation
looking day to day
clutched close in desperation
everything leaves but the pain
heaven is a haven for these church bound sinners
as the rest of us pray for eternal black after dying
I've answered for everything with every agonized breath
atoning for so much in life
I only want the emptiness to leave me
paid for my sins in life by living life
heart is bloodied and broken
conscience is calloused but guilt follows always
I've seen hell in life
Rip out peace with my last breath
No Title
Snuffed out desire
still supports the body
shattered shell
looks like anyone's
wretched life
depletes the purpose
A purpose I've never felt in being here
Broken hearts are a dime a dozen
But none hurt me like mine
A blackened coal
A hurtful cinder
Dead to everything
except the pain transmitted to me
you cut me down on a whim
I hate you for even less
dog eat dog cannot describe
these broken dreams I live
I used to be young and have hope
but now I realize
this killing guilt
is all I'll ever know
I know I'm smart, lots of people are smarter
I used to have hope, but now I know better
It's stab
before you get stabbed
It's screw, before you get screwed
Don't count on your luck, make your own luck
because nothing takes the pain away
It does not fade as you get older
live with the evil in yourself
don't live to eat regret
nothing ever gets easier
kill your conscience
kill your conscience
and try to live with yourself
STAY DEAD, she said as she put the knife in me
robbed all the life from me
stole all the color from my days
unearthed fresh graves for me
I'll be with you forever
even when it's cold
always when I'm cold
You've torn it all from me
took all the lust from me
stole all the need I need from me
Now I've nothing to give but this rusty shell
A self contained living hell
a heart breaking travesty that I expected to pass me by
I can see your lies, before they hit your face
I've told them all before
Steeped in the deadness of it all
rode life until it left me empty
stupidity is the average common denominator
Lust just equalizes us all.
The rumor is that life is a miracle.
but the miracle is just to live.
