Wanting
You've plenty to eat and yet you're starving
With nothing to say your words are deafening
Witness me now, understand how,
A tapestry woven at my fingertips
Grasp if you can, no fool can withstand
To navigate tribulation, Hit or miss

Boiling disdain, Contempt unmatched
Scorn and spurned again
Will this never end
Refuse to subscribe to reaction
Conflict, the device of the fool
Choose to exact understanding
Through the method of the scribe
Thus, instill a sense of why
Hate, a futile point of view
This prose, my final slight of you
Semantic summaries can only bastardize the feeling
A curdling fury that reach the deepest precipice
There is no getting through
There is no even ground
And not a drop of common sense can be found
A thousand injuries I have borne
A million fallacies persist no more
Monumental defenses built on insurmountable ignorance
No ounce of wisdom can get through
So reluctant to adhere to anything alien
And all the while you cry
There can be no progression
With so much rigidity
Inexorable stagnation
Tantamount to suicide

Anesthetize expectation
Realize my plans don't mean shit
The universe is laughing in my face
Catalyze my ambition
Beneath weight I will not simply give
Rejoicing in the understanding
Control, we perpetuate this myth
Comfort habits we can't readily break
Sympathize with the masses
Quickly steered away from what is pure
For what can we turn to when the ones who claim to lead
are not much more than fountains of lies
Spurious paths to nowhere
The toil and turmoil and tears
Amounting to nothing
But there's something to be said for Life
In and of itself
Try to choose that which cannot be abused
The rules are unfair, try not to go insane
Most will try, some will fail
There's no map, good luck champ
Run in place all your life
Or grab this motherfucker by the balls
Pout in your corner like a bitch
Excuses only get you so far
There's no map, good luck champ

Bubonic

How many times must I speak your name
So many times, too many times
Presumed to be a stone, just look how much I've bled
So much I've bled, too much I've bled
Exhausted by words that seem to pour out of me
Festering rot, cut out the rot
Frightened by prospects, what the future will bring
Bubonic lust, bubonic love
Living within, counting the sins
No antidote I cannot sure myself of this want
Can't be a need
Like an addict this fix is what I feed
Rotting, my best efforts desiccating
Slowly I realize, no form of alchemical recovery exists
Terminal attempts to stop this plague
Thoughts that should vacate continually stay
Buried deep within an untouched place
Far beyond my reach it breeds dismay
Shadow of a shadow with no face
Thwarting all attempts to grow to change
Cryptonesiac thoughts of better days
A primate on my shoulder with no name
Take a look as it seeps from me

Welcome Back

This passion, sincere as it can be
Yet Faustian, my secret I've to keep
Outsiders project incessantly
Lost fools we are thought to be
Movement of celestial bodies
Orbit coming back around
Echoes of a familiar sound now

I have earned all I own
I deserve each and every one of my accolades
My prowess unchallenged, my image unstained
I do not make mistakes, never
Then who should come along
But a man who can't be strong enough to live
It should've been so simple
My prognosis should be final
No room to ask
Don't look at my hands
My hands are filthy
Don't look at my hands
My hands are bloody
You're asleep at the wheel
You're drunk at the helm
Smile your toothless grin
You led with with your chin
The sun promises me retribution he will feed
So my family will suffer for my deeds
First they fall
Then they refuse to eat
Then their eyes bleed
Then they die, unless you choose

Now, I must confess this
You're here to collect it
Unhinged at the edges
You, creating a subspace
Where nothing is flaunted
No illusion to gawk at
Far, the drive stretches in me
To keep it near to me
This image of beauty
Euphoric cacophony
Chaotic perfection
It's pulsing inside of me
A welcome temptation
May these hymn's cross the deepest moats
Raw indulgence to scale your walls
My devotion conquers all
Seeing through the blinding light
Content to dwell throughout the night
I'm conscious still of what may come
Suddenly this husk has a purpose
understanding left unspoken, heavy actions,
Trusting motions, feel completion
Clarity, the drudgery absent
I could care less if the verses proven empty
Truly empty, said for no one
In the presence of a powerful force
A binding love, this primordial surge
This song is yours long as you walk this earth
