"Floating" lyrics

Floating
There is something in never
That drives me on
To nothing, to whatever
So free to fly
So free to fall down
Where lyrics flow
Where madness grows
Floating on forever

"Choke" lyrics

When words run dry
And dreams, they cease
With little to say,
How can I speak?
And even my shadow,
It fails to haunt me
Minutes feel like hours,
Hours, days I'll never see
And so I hang high
By my halo, choking
On a moment in time
Must be it's killing me

(Chorus)
So overcome by this
A glorious way to go-
To choke

Teasingly vague,
I flaunt the essence of me
All pretty in pain,
Fate's poet emissary
And the girl lacking reason,
The one you don't see,
Of shame, lust, despise,
Of innocence lost, she resides
In this hollow frame
Of what may never be
Bitter side of restless mind
I'm disturbed, absurd you see

(Chorus)

The Silent Side (Of Me)

Is there a simple way to speak
Without misconception?
With you, my poetry is complete
You gave me direction

Dreaming of what may never be
Sweet sleep otherworld
Sing for the silent side of me
You, in all your quintessence

You lit the fire
In perfect symmetry, we dance
When you inspire
You're what I hoped for

Must I have a reason to adore
The human form
Beyond our mortal limits, our
Social borderlines?

I have no other wish for tonight
Than to show you affection
It's just another war I must fight
Despite our connection

I hope you want it
I pray you need it
Perhaps unethical
But I embrace my desires

Just like you do

There's a misunderstanding here somewhere.

And I know you're overcome by this
Glorious state of nothingness,
But I'm still alive.

"Walls (Delirium Pt2)" lyrics

The walls are staring back at me
And all the things I used to be
In this moment of unrest I lie,
Cold sweat, and I detest this sleepless night

So rich, so true
So dead, so you
Don't let them hear you breathe
So rich, so true
So dead, so you
Don't let them hear you

Wearing conscience as a second skin
Displaying all that lies within
In nothing more than a whisper
I say something, yet nothing

So rich, so true
So dead, so you
Don't let them hear you breathe
So rich, so true
So dead, so you
Don't let them hear you

Something like sinking-
It's something like thinking
I've been here before

So rich, so true
So dead, so you
So rich, so true
So dead, so you

So rich, so true
So dead, so you
Don't let them hear you breathe
So rich, so true
So dead, so you
Don't let them hear you

Delirium

Walls are spinning, and I
Can't make my mind up
Think I've been here before
Is my time up?

So rich, so true
So dead, so you
You're too far to see
I can't feel my feet

Don't let them hear you breathe
Don't let them hear you

Information overload
Incoherent and sinking
Static in my brain
And I'm here thinking

So rich, so true
So dead, so you
You're too far to see
I can't feel my feet

Don't let them hear you breathe
Don't let them hear you

Satire

On thorns I slept,
Cold and unmoving,
Waiting for the harsh rays
Of day to pass over us.
It was the only constant
In this equation,
The bitter truth we fear,
The fear that binds us,
The binds that hold us
From what we are.
Weary I am,
And may remain;
Dreary and dreadful
As I've ever been.
This isn't a farce,
This is reality.

Perhaps that is the poison
Of life itself,
Miasmic and ill-contained.
Or-
We are the victims
Of our own doing,
As I'd like to believe.
For how can we not
Conceive the notion
That fate does not
Play the tragedy card,
We drew it from the pile
And painted irony on its face.
We are the ultimate joke here,
The wittiest quip
In this anthology;
That's how I see it.

So take me as I am,
Both learned and naive,
I know my place
And time,
Difficult it is some days.
But prove me wrong
If you dare try,
For truth or conflict,
I don't mind.
It's all the same
When it comes down to it.
Just as we are-
The same,
Despite our life views
And opinions.
And I truly don't care.
Just prove me wrong;
Give me something to laugh about.

**I wrote this back in October, but realized I hadn't posted it yet.. so here it is.

Choke, Pt2

So teasingly vague,
I flaunt the essence of me-
All pretty in pain,
Fate's poet emissary.
And the girl lacking reason,
The one you don't see,
Of shame, lust, despise, of
Innocence lost, she resides
In this hollow frame
Of what may never be,
Thinking torture is romantic.
I'm disturbed, it's so funny.

I know it must be.

Choke, Pt1

When words run dry,
And dreams, they cease,
With nothing to say,
How can I speak?
And even my shadow,
It fails to haunt me.
The minutes feel like hours,
Hours, days I'll never see.
And so I hang high
By my halo, choking
On a moment in time, feels
Like a century.

Muse MIA

What do you do
When words run dry,
And dreams cease,
And your shadow
Fails to haunt you?
What do you say
To no one?
To yourself?
Do you still speak
To your reflection?
Can you force old fantasies
To exist within your mind,
Even when
Your Dreamwalker is long gone?
Do minutes feel like minutes,
And not hours?
Or days, or weeks,
For that matter..?
Can you still
Anticipate tomorrow?

Reverie

It was silence
That moved me
As night begged
For me to wake
From a reverie
Of you and I,
Entwined,
Before the dawn
Of consciousness.

Embracing sleep,
I danced alone
At water's edge.
The echo of,
"Do it, love,"
Remained,
Lingered a while longer.
"You cannot wait
For never."
I cannot stay
Forever.

All my dreams,
They laid to rest
When you became
A thrill
I never really knew.
If only I knew that then.

So still,
So silent I lie
Alone.

Tragic.

How tragic she is,
I never knew..
Watch her wither
And shiver
With fear for tomorrow.
She screams,
"How many more?"

"The Game" - Final Lyrics

So "The Game" (T7N) is finished for the most part, and is awaiting the final mix/demo master. Here are the lyrics as they stand- the track will be finished and posted online soon enough.

"Stay
And play
This game,"
You say,
Or may as well have.
"Pray
And obey
None but me.
You'll see.
Just follow blindly."

(Chorus)
One-track mentality
One skewed reality
One more fatality
I've learned my lesson well
One-track mentality
One skewed reality
One more fatality
I won't buy the fate you sell
One-track mentality
One skewed reality
One more fatality
I'll condemn myself to hell

Take
Away
The dismay,
Decay
Of those you've preyed upon.
"Don't stray,
It's okay.
You'll see
Divinity.
He stands before you."

(Chorus)

Questioning.

I didn't mind.
You didn't know.
But now I find
You still don't.
And who am I
To go
Beyond time and reason?

More words..

Hanging high by my halo,
Bound so tightly 'round my throat.
Words can choke one, you must know,
And that is such a lovely way to go.
Might be you're so pretty in your ways,
A vision of monochrome.
Whatever endeavor
Truly sent you here,
I may never know..

Words. Just words.

I don't have much to say..
Just words, such words, and they
Are broken, incomplete,
And disconnected, as you know.
But those in prose, my poetry,
So clean and clearly stated
Just for you.
If only you knew.

Consciousness, Pt2

I want to float away,
Slip away,
Fall into another day.
Such a miracle you were,
But never will be..
Let me
Float away,
Slip away,
Fall into another day.
If eternal silence
Becomes of me,
I won't have to speak of you.

Don't Waste My Time

Show the world
Your pretty face,
That mask you wear
With heels and lace.
Do you really think that no one sees
Your obvious charade?
You blabber on,
Such blather, why?
Just a simple thrill
For a simple mind.
And I'll fucking tell you now-
Don't waste my time.

Consciousness

I can see
Every face in the lake,
Heads severed
By lack of reason.
I want to undo
All that cannot be undone.
But the things that mattered,
They don't anymore.

The Faceless

Behind false promises,
You cannot hide yourself.
That does not change
A travesty of honor.
Behind the mask of innocence,
You cannot change what you are.
Still you remain
The Faceless One.
