We’re stuck down here, the lost, forgotten
Outside Heavens gate
A chance to rise gone, misbegotten
Frozen in state
I can hear you calling but I just cant get through
Hear you caterwaul, ooooo
I can see you falling but I just cant catch you
Hear you caterwaul caterwaul
If i could stop the world and all the tears
and change your minds
would I uncover the lies and all your fears
in between the lines.
Struck down hard, the lost downtrodden
Our unseen fate
The chance to rise gone, misbegotten
Frozen in state
We’re in a Crucible

Days In The Desert

the devil deceives
took the words I wrote
The page is blank
My soul is broke
Days in the Desert
Craze in my eyes
Days in the desert
Blind to my own lies
Days in the Desert
Words they hide
and fade away
I work so hard
All Wasted days
words they run
Got nothing to say
Days in the Desert
Dead in the eyes
Days in the Desert
Wasteland of lies
Endless dead air
Radio silence
Stretched paper white lies
trapped in walls
Of my own making
Immune to what lies outside

Prevaricatin’ Sunday
Is how I get to Monday
Don’t count on me to stick around
Communication breakdowns
Is how I stage my takedowns
Then I trip right out of town
I only want the world, and everything in sight
Moon & stars will help appease my appetite
I only want the world, the deal must close tonight
I only want the world, want the world, want the world
Im gonna take
Just what I want its all for me
Nobodys guarding at the door
When you come home
Ransacked a mess is waitin'
'n Im breaking down your neighbors door
I gotta get over on this
I gotta get over over
I gotta get over on this
I gotta get over over
My hustle breakin, breakin, breakin down
Prevaricatin’ Sunday
Is how I got to Monday
Ran out of money, run out of town
I only want the world

Word is Coming Round

Word is Comin Round
A certain slant, a certain manner in the making
Im at stake, life is breaking on bow
Nobody sees my reasoned life has been forsaken
Nobody sees me going down into the plow
All I see Is falling deeper into madness
All I dream is lost and faraway at sea
An Idle rant all my words surrender meaning
And what I cant believe is happening to me
They packed up love upon a shuttle
Banished all from light of day
Robotic shove into the hustle
And All I knew has gone away
You know the word is coming round
You know the man is coming down
You know the world stops spinning round
You know the plan is going down
All I read has fallen deeper into madness
All I dream is lost and faraway at sea
A feckless rant, and now my words surrender meaning
And what I cant believe is happening to me

BLUE
I live the wreckage, left behind
Tread in shadows of a broken altered mind
A need is always calling, subject to answer you
This heart that’s always falling, breakdown and broke in two
Blue…. On Blue
As leaden hours tick away
Letting go to wind down wreckage of the day
My call that begs repeating
You never answer true
Your words so fast receding
I grasp in spite of you
See my heart, break in lines, break in
Failed start feeding lies
You took the hammer, let it drop
Cracked all my senses, recomposed them all to stop
I call as noncombatant, this war to stem the tide
A tide that covers over, a lie we try to hide

I bring you pain
And fever dreams
My lust for power power power power
Is bursting at the seams
I break your love
In every way
Nothing that you think
Nothing that you say
can ever break my sway
The darkness in my tenor
The ravage my tide
I leave you in the Wilderness of life outside
Your broken fantasy
One true love
A lie delivered me to you with hatred from above
You plead your god
To ease the pain
such desparate calculus
A hopeless pray for rain
There is no antidote
No saving grace
Stakes set against you
In all your mortal race
Your time is up now
Nightmare is real
All of your fear and doubt
Will drain your last appeal
I bring you pain
In tortured dreams
My hold on power
Is busting out the seams
Tremble in the twilight
The embers of your day
Nothing that you say or do
Will ever break my sway
Breakdown in the twilight
Ashes of your day
Nothing you can say or do
Will ever break my sway
CHORUS
The darkness in my tenor
The ravage my tide
I leave you in the Wilderness of life outside
Your broken fantasy
One true love
A lie delivered me to you with hatred from above

Free Me (3 Metal)
Someone broke the line
Wires all got crossed
Newspaper laughs
In scorn for my loss
Stand up on a bridge
Telegraph my play
Silence of the real world
All I hear today
Free me, free me, free me now
Let go the chain and speed the plow
Free me, free me, free me now
Break off the chain, let me go now
Scene from a bridge
News of the day
Twitters to trash
In all that we say
Face up the media
Face down a storm
Truth into fake
We all got it wrong
