Deeper Than Tears

Posted on 05.09.22 under Uncategorized

I sailed away in a paper airplane
Chasing the sunshine, hiding from pain
Forgotten promises I made when I failed
Making excuses when the truth was unveiled

Pain deeper than tears
Pain over the years

Mistakes were made but lessons never learned
Recycled tragedy that history confirmed
My mind plays trauma loops, memories of shame
I look for someone else to place the blame

Pain deeper than tears
Pain over the years

Stolen pieces of my soul everywhere
Can’t cry alone when there’s no one to care
I traced our steps right back to the start
How did we go so wrong deep in our hearts

Pain deeper than tears
Pain over the years
Pain deeper than tears
Pain over the years

Chased By The Shadows

Posted on 05.09.22 under Uncategorized

Came out of silence, out of the blue
From a deep dark place, a voice I once knew
Time trapped him in the recent past
Cancelled him as history fell and then collapsed

Chased by the shadows of my past
Windblown, the future comes so fast
(Nothing lasts)

Hunt sweet youth they shriek as we laugh then they run
Drink through the night, the days they blur together as one
Time out of violence, it’s Russian Roulette
Default to silence, our last anxious dying regret

Chased by the shadows of my past
Windblown, the future comes so fast
(Nothing lasts)

Will there be redemption for us at the end
Forgiveness for what we did to our friends
So many faces came and went
Eliminated with implied consent

Chased by the shadows of my past
Windblown, the future comes so fast
(Nothing lasts)

Turn Your Face

Posted on 05.09.22 under Uncategorized

The leadership and entitled personalities of this planet are atrocious

Turn Your Face

We learned the price of brutality
The enemy and our only friend
Mistaken, blind trust in humanity
Spend endless lifetimes to comprehend

Dwell in the shadows of mistaken vanity
Creating monsters out of thin air
Misunderstanding comic book reality
We search for meaning in our despair

Turn your face against the wall
Prepare yourself for the greatest fall

Air-headed statements of brash opulence
A charlatan with a master of dark arts
Montage of our deeply scattered consciousness
Projecting from our battered hearts

We squandered heaven and went straight into hell
False affirmations on top of selfish prayers
We fell hard under a con man’s spell
Bankrupted by a fake billionaire

Turn your face against the wall
Prepare yourself for the greatest fall

We learned the price of immortality
Die young and leave a pretty face
Hot drama of a thrilling fatality
A savior sacrificed in the perfect place

Turn your face against the wall
Prepare yourself for the greatest fall
