| Release? Caught up in the sails of this windmill And I stagger to the line To the depths of this human landfill Waiting for you to confine Only half know how I got here And half again why I'm here at all The past fires a warning jeer As I'm lined up to take the fall You tasted the scent of my weakness Salivated at the overkill Pouring the salt in the sweetness Spitting the pips of my will Hold the lead on which I'll follow And possess what isn't mine Around the circle to wallow Just ahead, I cannot define Feelings that cannot be taught Kindness to be cruel Cloud the clearest thought Kick the braying mule Suffering for others sins Purgatory of an eternal test Until the strongest one wins I thought the meek were the blessed My shutters come down in disgust At the surveillance in your eyes Killing myself with this lust The decay began with your lies |
| Deep Green Green around the gills, slipping on your sleeping pills Landing on a bed of the densest leaves Clawing at the sides of the ever-rolling hills Scratching at the stump until the spirit cleaves Certain of the uncertainty, a vista of disgust Sending the light infantry on a mission of mistrust Fight the losing battle on uncharted lands High up in the saddle, and sinking in the sand The grip is always strong upon your mental gavel Preconceived evidence, half-baked and aloof Martyr of your mind; face down in the gravel Paint a pretty picture with a cloven hoof So many ways to manifest, shape-shifting to the same Desperate to impress, along with irises of flame The figure in black stalking at the foot of the bed Run-through with the blade of the dreams you dread That, which lurks in the shadows, is it will or is it weak? The fertile, chaotic meadows, or just the vivid hues you seek Breaking with tradition, or jumping with the fleas Quaking at the vision, and dying on your knees Performing all the tests but your pH is not in balance Thought light could never enter, but your curtains are all valance Everything to everyone, but pity's all I feel The mask is all that's ever shown, forever grinding in your wheel |
