pursuit

climbing sharp edges of your wall
fingers numb, mustn't loosen my grip
remains to be seen whether i'm equipped
to survive the inevitable fall

sailing wild waters of your sea
no anchor, a broken ship's wheel
curious to learn if i'll still be here
or drown in the face of defeat

flying cold winds of your sky
feathers torn to shreds in my wings
wonder what tomorrow shall bring
do you let me in or do i die?

surrender

breathing in smoke
breathing out fire
almost remaining unscorched
among desires devoured
luck has run out running 'round nigh burnt out pyre

quit your stallin'
take it all in
flame has fallen
to the ground

unrest

stillness inside undone by rattling of spine
raindrops cut through fragile skin

thumping outside when thunders combine
seek no shelter, stand your ground

long nights collide, always left understated
blinded by the restless sun

crying out from within where the unrest begins

endless sea

living in the fade
places we wanted to see
never got around to go
guess it wasn't meant to be
things we wanted to share
they ring a hollow sound
an echo of broken pieces
falling shattered and unbound
left staring into distance
past horizon and beyond
every second, every minute
endless sea of what we've lost

endless sea of what we've lost
endless sea of what we've lost
endless sea of what we've lost

Never, Never Land

Everyday's a test
A test of your resolve
Flyin' away from nest
Tryin' to put it whole
Search for missing pieces
Rarely goes as planned
As your strength decreases
Lose fragments of your mind
What's setting you apart
Things you can withstand
Never have a change of heart
And you never, never land

Every moment, every second
Every moment goes on record
Can't rewind the tape; it's broken
Can't unwind, no rest, but hopin'
Holding on can strain the body
Adding pain to the weight you carry
Cast your light on shadow's surface
Cast away your fears and burdens

Constant looking back

Is what drags you down

Wings start showing cracks

Past follows you around

Struggle against the wind

Have a reckless streak

Thrown into a tailspin

Afraid, yet never weak

 What's setting you apart
All of it you withstand
Never have a change of heart
And you never, never land

Every moment, every second

Every moment goes on record
Can't rewind the tape; it's broken
Can't unwind, no rest, but hopin'
Holding on can strain the body
Adding pain to the weight you carry
Cast your light on shadow's surface
Cast away your fears and burdens

Fade

Know this feeling, falling into the ocean

Keep on falling, that’s all you’ve got left

Know this feeling, emptying your emotions

They take their time, they’ve had their fill

Crash against the tide, diving into the ocean

Keep on diving, that’s all you’ve got left

Crash against the tide, overtaken by the motion

The deeper you end up, the easier to let go

Filled with silence, drifting into the ocean

Keep on drifting, that’s all you’ve got left

Filled with silence, moving with devotion

It will be over, it’s almost the end

Breathe no more, fading into the ocean

Keep on fading, that’s all you’ve got left

Breathe no more, soak in the deadly potion

Close your eyes, lay yourself to rest

Bar Fi...Party!

Walked into a bar and sat down

Said "I'll have a drink"

They looked at me like something was not right

'Spose they knew my deal

"What you can have is a fist to the face"

They said and gathered 'round

Guess they haven't forgotten the last time

Blood stilly dry under heels

Still dry under their heels

Had to do it all over again

Pulled a switchblade from my shoe

The tall one charged at me, furiously

I dodged and turned and cut his cheek

Bored I sighed and let my guard down

Fat one caught my arm

"What happened, boy, I thought you were faster"

He hissed through missing teeth

I said, "No, my friend, I'm just getting started"

And I broke his fucking wrist

Swear everyone else joined in after that one

Welcome back, Miss Deja Vu

Guess I wasn't gonna get my drink

At Night

Broken silence fills the void
Recites the words from a grimoire
A damning poem, stricken down with grief
Fallen short, fallen short, yet again

A smolder of hope gets beaten
Down with rain

Palms still clenched, though vaguely
Rest resigned on wet ground

Should've seen it coming from afar
Haven't learnt from past mistakes

It's all in the head
Fucking empty space
Winds inside whistle still, every night

All dark
All dark
My eyes can't see
A thing
A thing
My ears can't hear
A sound
A sound
It's all just gone away
For good
For good
Or till the next time, the next day
