You Know Who
What a shame, he never changed
Sill in one place, I’m sad to say
Does he still write?
A waste of time
He really thinks he’ll be recognized?
Not before he’s institutionalized
Pathetic fool
And ugly too
Lets talk more after the sermon is through
Remembered as Snakes and Flames
Electric snakes coil my mind
Venom soaked fangs burn me alive
Tempered flesh turned to ash
The last of the flames will come and pass
When All is said and done
I’ll turn to dust, a lifeless husk
Remembered as kindle to a flame
or a vessel filled with venomous snakes
Imposter
Imposter imposter, you aren’t that bright
Imposter imposter, it’ll soon come to light
Imposter imposter, its a matter of time
It might be tonight
They’ll catch you in a lie
how long will you hide?
They’ve figured you out
seen cracks in the mask
you’re holding so tight
You’re a flaw
a fake
a waste of space
They’ll laugh and chant
Imposter imposter, remove your mask
Imposter imposter, never come back
Rain
Walk with me tonight
Your reflection on wet concrete
When you used to twirl beneath my feet
you used to stomp in puddles on nights like these
Remind me of the time you were with me
Full of life that shined like the city lights
Before I only saw you on rainy nights
Remind me of what life was like
before I lost your light
I love our walks on rainy nights
I twirl and spin as you walk by
I jump on still puddles all the same
I’m still by your side,
even after that fateful night
I remember when you used to smile
despite the pouring rain
Salary Man
What a fine price it is to be a dead eyed man. So much time burned into crimson gold. Dreams stillborn, and now just a drone.
Just when did my insides begin to die? I can’t recall, but it must have been sometime between 9 to 5.
Critic in the Mirror
You set alarms, but you sleep in
you work late nights, but you want to quit
More free time to waste alone
Rewatch movies while on your phone
You want love without giving it
Too scared to share your demons
You crave sleep like an addiction
Constantly saying, “Just 5 more minutes,”
Never meeting expectations
always signing resignations
Such willful self deception
You can’t see your own reflection
Take Away my Everything
Take away my everything.
All I ask is that you give none back.
Carry away my doubts and fears.
Keep my regrets and shed my tears.
Feed my ambition until its sated.
Swallow my heart and all its hatred.
All that I’ve become, has become too much.
All I once held sacred, has long since been tainted.
