Know Thyself

Shattered thoughts and the vacant stare
Lends a lost ear to the dreamers dare
To conceive, deceive and ultimately believe
In the morsels of truth to which we cleave
Conceive
Conception is the jest of a forked tongue
The spoken lies mistranslated through pun
Knocks at the door of the deaf and dumb
The heart opens to the one who must succumb
Deceive
Strolling into the inner sanctum we find the thief
Head down and smiling as the innocent give relief
The dreamer wickedly gives that old familiar laugh
As she watches them worship their golden calf
Believe
Forgiveness is for the sake of those that are lost
But the found may not find redemption at any cost
The found are shamelessly clawing at their own skin
And the sinner will always come back for the sin

Its just a question of who, where and when

Reflections

The morbid shadow of my waking lie
Stares vacantly at me with pure devotion
With no time to ponder the question why
I close my eyes and deny all emotions
And then I imagine a dreadful tremor
Lurking and sulking down deep within
Violently shaking as man turns to glimmer
I become lost between beauty and sin
Without a whimper I reach into the pool
And grabbed the essence of my decayed lie
For I will not be the reflection of this ghoul
Let him hide behind the pane of glass and cry

Soul Unleashed

From my very first drawl of air
I felt it and as I became aware
I realized this thing said prayers
And it left my heart full of despair

The Soul Of Dade

I awake just to hear your dreadful voice

And as you grimly speak I become lost

For I fear the method of our choice

Your life languished in pain is my cost

But I did hope a truce could be found

And that we would no longer need a sign

Our restless spirit could finally abound

And in that day a light would truly shine

But no, I stand and you pull me down

I walk and you draw me into a crawl

And in pity we find the time to drown

You carve these words upon our wailing wall

I do not believe a truce can be found

And I forsake all of your spiritual signs

For my restless spirit will have its crown

And in that day the darkness will be mine

Your reflection is a constant reminder 

That I cannot escape the finality of me

I am the firm rebuke, I am the finder

And of our voices, I am the last decree

Some Live But Never Live

The pains of life is lost within the bones
Wash your hands but its never truly gone
The hurt will find the time to come calling
We live long enough to view the appalling

Family Ties

Knowingly touched again
Always left to wonder why
Emotions have to be feigned
Humbling it is to love a lie
Nothing but a betrayal
Tender like soulful art
Sorrow is the portrayal
Of my wounded heart

The missing Link

Loyalty is a common misconception
A lie boldly taught at our inception
While we're unable to see deception
The lie digs into our own preconceptions

The Smile of God

The lovely innocence of a child
That warms the cold, lost heart
Is a gift for the meek and the mild
That only a God could impart
