EMPTY SPACE

Skipping stones just to count the ripples
Spending years just to watch as memories fade
I opened my hands just to fill them with empty space
Laid to rest in a coffin built for two
And even if a spark were to remain
I would hesitate, to set it alight
Based on the lessons I have learnt
Corrupt the sanctity, we once sought to protect
Redeem a sense of dignity amongst this flaming wreck
Naivety has caused this narrative to break
Clear your way through the fog, to draw a line in the sand
And alleviate yourself and I from this plague
Submerged in defeat, I can't breathe easy
But I will persevere through the depths, to be crowned the victor
Fortune hasn't proved itself a friend
Relapse; I do away with the loose ends
This is more than I can comprehend
Level out your faults to mine, and seek comfort in this divide
A monument erect, from the vein of selfishness
It's like watching as the blind lead the blind
Skipping stones just to count the ripples
Spending years just to watch as memories fade
I opened my hands just to fill them with empty space
Naivety has caused this narrative to break

LUSTBORN

My temples, they quiver; in the wake of disregard
Relinquish me from this poverty we once called love
Relinquish me
My temples, they quiver; in the wake of disregard
Relinquish me from the burden of a broken heart
Cloud my reason with visions soaked in red
An empty blessing based on faith
Has been twisted till wit's end
I can barely breathe as your victim, but I could never bare to fall
Witness this prism of rage
Cower in envy, your mirage has lost its deception
No longer blinded, the paint has worn from my eyes
No longer blinded, I now know you're a virus in disguise
Lustborn - You're a virus in disguise
Lustborn
True intention slips through the cracks
To settle on the surface of this bond
Lay awake to dwell in darkness on what I could never be
It's set in stone - I was destined to face this earth alone
Left to rot in the darkness on my fucking own
Proclaim him your being from the bottom of your chest
Remind me of every reason we have nothing left
Every false conviction like a dagger through my spine
I have served my time, in tolerance of lies
Every false conviction like a dagger through my spine
Sentenced to the rest of time, caught in my mind
Archangel, please just let me die
You're a virus in disguise, Archangel, please just let me die
The paint has now worn from my eyes
Archangel, please just let me die

WILTING

A slight crack in the doorway
A shatter of glass, and now
Absence is the only plausible excuse
Through the eyes of innocence
I bare witness to erosion of a broken spirit.
A wreath of wilted flowers
Hangs above your door
To signify the vines that drape from your skin
De-compile the will to live to find a source of substance
To walk on air in silence; the only hope I know you hold
Veils of deceit; your net of safety
I see right through you
When can this charade die?
I watch as you manifest
From a seedling into a noxious weed
When can this charade die?
Bleak as fog, I know it owns you
Have you ever tried to escape
Do you even know how?
Collapse in a shiver, that you never could control
You define yourself by isolation
This is your incarceration
Walls close in, crave for the sight of salvation
Walls close in, beg for the end of creation
Forever just a wolf trapped in sheepskin
Forever you will never amount to anything more than nothing
As they drape from your skin, they pull tighter 'round your neck
Sing a hymn to the life you never called your home
Don't forget the day, the dusk burns brighter than the dawn
Sing praise to a life that shouldn't be your own

CLOSURE

This lapse in closure leaves me to question my whole world
And everything will soon turn to dust - I know it may seem hollow
Regret may be tempered by time, yet every moment that passes
I yearn for the clock to unwind
These broken wings we share are the herald of my sorrow
All I see is mist, enshroud my every sense
Born an unchained soul, I'm now shackled to abandonment
An absence of light, infects everything I visualise
Dormant minds lead to vacant hearts, but I know mine isn't empty
But then look at me - A deplorable mistake
Shame will forever stain my slate
Shame will forever stain my slate
Life has left me behind, so leave me by the wayside
I have learned to pretend that I'll be alright
In reality, my spirit is burning up inside
And I long to be there once more, right by your side
Pale shades of misery trap me in this lucid horror
Surrender calls my name and I kneel before thee
These broken wings we share are the herald of my sorrow
And I have finally found my comfort, in the back of my own thoughts
But as you reside, in your steeple that is blessed by the breeze
Of these shallow seas - I will forever strive to be set free
