Ripe And Ruin.

She walks around the room counting her steps

Taking twenty four of them everytime she's in pain

Twelve are for the lover who left her in ruin

And the other twelve are for the man who saved her the pain

Before she starts walking again she begins to speak and mumble her speeches

Don't let me down she says, don't fill my soul

With empty promises you cannot just keep

No stick and stones, no broken bones

Only touch me with fairness from the great above

Make me feel my abode with love and peace Overwhelming my soul for a greater good

As all the dogs continue to bark, it's worth knowing

Like all good fruits the balance of life is in ripe and ruin.

Better Than This

I refuse to be a member of an institution that lacks perception

No depth, no madness, just boredom at it's peak

I want to feel immortal by my writings and speech

Heal the people of dark minds and broken dreams

Rather than be judged by grades that don't represent my subtlety

I reject society's thoughts of my tomorrow

Along with their customs and practices of how the world should be

Nevertheless I focus on the truth invested in me

Many have been marred by words and actions

Letting their soul be blistered by the rabble who know them not

What are we becoming? What are we doing?

Our arms are folded when the superiors show up

That is to tell them we have no hesitation and thoughts of our own

Are we gonna be liberators or another set of a failing society

I refuse to be part of a soulless social order

Because I know it can be better than this.

 

 

Nothing's Changed

See my walls are turning yellow like a smoker's tooth

I see the sweet smile of a girl who's doped in love

Baby birds on my roof awaiting mama's food

Only for the predators to feast on them

Words these days are never enough

Even Actions aren't able to heal some wounds

And sometimes silence kills the soul

Left to wither with no hope

The drunk man still sings at 2 am

With his belly filled with beer providing the tune

Some say he's cursed and a fool in love

Some pray all night for him to choke

But nothing changes; he's still the same

You might dye your hands the colour blue

Thinking you are different from the rest

Only for the rain to tell you otherwise

You forever remain the same; nothing will change

Oceans

Out of all places this is where freedom lies

Cloudy skies; every one of them painted blue

Everly I feel connected to the silence it brings

And my soul emphatic as the wind becomes freed

Never had I thought this was my serenity

Settled in my coziness, I let my soul become fed.

Lay Off

My uneasiness collects like artifacts

With my heart restless as ever before

And all the dopey ones have come out to play

It's bad enough they brought out their demons

Waiting to pounce as each spoke

Seems every demon likes to own a pound of flesh

But I like to keep my issues to myself

Even though I bury them far away

I can't run from the past I've made

And a fool I have been with a veil over my eyes

I have forgotten the confidence I built inside

And the beast has used this to take control

He heard the voice of the devil and became rogue

Nevertheless tonight I'll bury that beast six feet below

Cos with him like that love is such a mournful tune

It has to be done before the devil knows

As a consequence I'll cut my gracious heart

So I won't listen to the words it speaks

Saying lenity! lenity! Compassion and peace

And I'll start again when the deed is done

I'll say a prayer for my issues to remain strong

And let them die with the darkness before dawn comes

Cos it's hard to be free when you got him on your back.

So I'll shake him tonight off and lay back to rest.

YOU VS THEM

Honestly I can't lie I want you and it's only you

That can make me feel things I never wanted to

Give me the sense of freedom and love I have never felt

It overwhelms me and I don't know why

You are the one who stops my thinking mind

You are the only light my eyes can see

In every way possible you stop my heart

I always pray that you never depart

Honestly if I choose you then I might lose you

So if I never had you I won't be losing you

Sometimes this all sound like wasted words

But it's what keeps my world vibrant with life

With the way I talk about existence and all

The world needs me and I don't know why

I seem to owe them a great deed I know not of

I must give that which is in me

Still I can't see tomorrow if you are not in it

In you my weaknesses are a strength

It's funny how much I need you

But the world needs saving and I am the hero

Still You belong to me but I belong them

Sharing is a sin; a lie that's not meant to be

Who do I give myself to
Who do I let in

You or The World?

See-Through

Look at me and the mess I've become

Delivered to you and wrapped in gore and pain

It seems like a feeling I can't displace

Cos when I fall down I look up to you again

I can't seem to work solely on my own

I'm scared if I don't get your love

I might slowly lose control

It's funny you always have the right words to say

Everytime I become filled with guilt and ache

It's hard to believe I'm such a lovely mess

Cos when I become that person I dread

You hide all the things that trigger the feeling

And with the right words you bring me back to life

I wish I could repay your kindness in many folds.

 

Burning Room

Its not a silly argument

It's not a time to pay our dues

No its not a fight we can settle

We have finally reached our point

We thought we could handle the pain and the stress

With fake smiles and fake laughter

That we put out for the Crowd to see

I guess we really deceived them

But we couldn't deceive ourselves

I was the one you really wanted

Then today you woke up and changed your mind

Saying I didn't mean anything to you

When you were the only cure to my disease

I'll try and keep all this pain

And you move on with your life of lies

Denying in your mind every bit of affection

That your heart still feels for me.

I'm sure you haven't noticed

That we are going down slowly

With no way of coming up

The distress calls cannot be heard

We've built up too many False alarms .

The house is set ablaze

Redemption has refused to take its place

We have nothing else to do with ourselves

Only to slow dance in this burning room.

Rivers And Roads.

If you ever lose your way

If the sun doesn't point to where you want to stay

If the feeling is too strong to cling to

Then I suggest you stay with me and relate.

Cos you left your home for the road

I'm sure you planned out your hopes and dreams

You didn't care what the family might say

Bet you knew they would understand.

Now the year is slowly passing

I will miss your face like hell

When our friends will go to better places

I hope you'll return and relate.

I'll never stop till I get to you

Even if you seem impossible to find

For as these rivers and roads don't get in my way

I'll reach you even if you are far away.

lovely mess

the virgin did not know her plight
she was lost in her wondorous yet agonizing world
all it took was a little persuasion from an angel she did not know
sometimes she felt lost with him
other days she felt alive and found
she thread the narrow path of her so acclaimed salvation
with the price being her life
and at every step she tried not to lose her soul
but she fell for the trap he set
and like a mouse caught with the trap she begged for help
nobody in the city took notice at all
it was not a city of tears
nobody cared how she felt
she saw her fate had been sealed and destiny gone
with the whisper of the wind she ended it all
saddest story I've ever heard.

Faire face.

And now it seems this where we are

From the old days of laughter sounds to you cursing in my face.

It's very strange how things turned out today

It was all beautiful and elegantly played

And I thought that I could have a lifetime of love.

Yet I have come know it really doesn't exist

And the streets are consumed with our pain

Our glory already nailed and painted with shame

We have nowhere to hide our blighted selves

For the Wolves have come and they promise ache

The only thing we have to do is Cope

Alma's Interlude

Did you even care to see my face 

At the corner of the street wall where I wrote your name 

Where the kids keep playing ignorant 

I was a Professing a love I thought u need .

Never mind this things happen anyways 

And when hearts are down we have to be able

To pick them up alongside the bravery suit 

Forgetting the things that we once cherished.

With your curtains drawn tonight 

I could see your golden self under the white lights 

And there you are 

An opportunity I missed again.

Did you think of me when you kissed him 

Did you even know whether he loves you like I do

Cos all the pretty ones were all he ever needed

Never were you a treasure just a collection.

Slowly my world is crashing down trying to find your fervor 

A shame Gravity can't save me now 

And With all my thoughts becoming stagnant 

All I ever do is think of you.

Outcast.

Bitter affections from the people of the town

Torches lit up the atmosphere 

The town had come to her house 

They demanded for the one 

The very thing they refused to understand 

He who had brought daylight to their nightmares

In their eyes were beams of fire and fear 

The Mother was scared 

She couldn't understand their ignorance 

While she watched her glowing infant smile 

She wanted to know if he knew what the mob had planned 

A tear fell down her face  in disgust

The house got lit up 

The town kept the noise up 

They were already savages unconsciously 

Then she burst out the burning door

Already skinned and burned with the infant already ash 

With her final breath she cursed the whole town.

The King's Blue Funk.

As I lay looking from my castle 

The whole streets filled with people 

There is no smile and no joy to behold 

In Every light corner threads a darkness unknown 

The plebeians have lost faith in my system

My daughter sees no love in me 

I hear wailing from where my wife lays to rest

Even the dead are pierced with spears of pain

With the way Desolation has occurred. 

I can't cry 

I can't find the tears 

My eyes are getting blurred from all of my mistakes

The Evil spreads like a virus in my heart

No space for love to dwell in 

Leaving me dark and  hollow. 

For the bones have been broken 

The flesh has been skinned 

As the dust gather around in the evening 

So will my Kingdom never been known again. 

I wish I could grasp the light to healing 

Not withstanding my high fall from grace 

With every tune that the harper plays 

My soul will try to find rest in my dying world

Our Tree

Then we gathered at the tree
To reveal all our hopes and dreams
We predestined to be wild and free from all our demons
Life always had a fun story to tell about to us 
Funny as it sounded we never liked it 
And our parents spoke too much about the temporary
But everything fell on deaf ears

 
We finally took the walk to our tree 
To get away from the world's event of noise and madness 
You kept talking for me and i kept breathing for you
Letting go of all the mistakes that slowly left us like death
We might have struggled with a sense of belonging
Coupled with little knowledge and understanding
But the tree took seemed to get us and it took the doubts away 
Even when the world blocks the way to our destinies 
Our determination will help find a way to the tree

O.

Open up your mind for me
Like book waiting to be read
Lead me deep into the abyss of your soul 
For it is clear that the timing is right
Let go of the things you hold dear to the most and focus on me
Even the hosts know it won't hurt 
To let me see through you this very moment
Let me captivate your heart slowly with the masterpiece of my hands
And my ink become a leader to the healing path you will take
Let a new flow of energy be channeled into your system 
Drawing you ever closer to me
Don't run from what will unfold instead embrace the new found feeling
Let yourself be loose when you see these words
I don't want to be a lost soul all alone in a fishing bowl
If it will take me an eternity to get to you
I willing to bet it will be worth the wait....

The End (A Sad Mind)

So this is it I guess 

Our patience was tested and we failed 

I used to feel sad about times when I wasn't true with you 

But now our conversations are in thin air 

And none of us are willing to go up there 

I never thought I would see this end so quickly 

But I believe it was for the best 

When you said you were leaving 

I wished I was still in a trance 

And I wanted to speak these words 

But you shut me at every instance 

I wanted to reach out with love 

But your heart was resistant 

And now I just wish u were far 

What's the point of love at first

When evergreen is never promised at the end 

I wish I was never hurting 

So I could still muster some believe 

But slowly I take comfort in words 

And drown my  heart in the ocean 

Disappearing like I never existed 

Victory for you 

In the mark you left in me....
