Pill

Five Years (David Bowie Cover)

I'm lost in a sea of swollen mistrust and disbelief.  
I'm terrified of what may come.
As if I were debris swept aside, left alone on these cold streets
like a burning messiah left for dead.


You pushed me down.  Hoping I would drown
Death lurks inside.  But for you... I won't die

I've chosen my path.  
Succumb to the woes of aftermath.
I've bludgeoned my soul down to size,
How can hope be redeemed? 
Had to kidnap my conscience just to dream
of a world without your breed.

I won't die

If the world should heed it's ending, it won't be a day too soon.
The corpse of mother Earth, tangled in sheets of toxic fumes
is rotting like the sun above the fields in which we lay. 
And the sirens, deafening, ring out the songs of our last days.

As the northern wind comes sweeping through the city
fueling fires that have long since cleared the way
for a long and cold, dark winter.
Desperation clouds the streets...
Taking all that was ever left of hope and putting it to sleep

And you could almost taste the bitter ending
as human flesh burns in the wake
of our own negligence and ignorance 
as our great nation was at stake.
Instead collectively, we all chose to subside 
and watch our fellow people die.
We've made our bed now go to sleep.



Songs Of Our Last Days

The smile on your face shows it's easy to hide the severity of your inner pain.
A chill down your spine to remind you of what's yet to come and what you may find.
Reality sets when you're broken in half and all else appear as faint apparitions.
Through the fog is a blank destiny of emptiness...

I'm sorry you ache.  I'm sorry you suffer.
In the end though, I'm sorry you listened to sorry excuses.

You speak of a future yet burn with regret 
from mistakes you once made and admit.
And all of your friends and loved ones seem to judge you with looks
without saying shit...
You promise yourself and everyone else
you're making a positive change.
The truth is you're dying and already lying in hell.  

Sorry Excuses

Is it safe to throw away the space which holds me down?
My surroundings never change enough to then surpass my reasons.
I'm feeling caged.  I latch to insecurity rather than to stray away.
Drifting on.. My final destination..
Hope I'm wrong so you'll believe in me.

The broken minds of all, consumed by life alone.
In the realm, we tend to fall and dance within the souls dark season.
Can we just call upon the sins we hold substantial?
Onward we dissolve again.  

So locked in lies, I approach my demise.
If I bleed anymore, I could see (that)
in my life - I have roamed aimlessly
but it's shown that my time has never been and will never be

Chasms

I found you swinging there with a rope around your neck.
You should have seen the sadness on your face.
The note beside you read, "When you find this, I'll be dead."
You said you couldn't hang... But you did.

So it's over now.  You're gone
May your bones fall in peace, my love.

I saw you floating there like an angel in thin air.
I swear I saw a smile upon your face.
And as this noose is taut, I'm encompassed by the thought;
As ashes meet the Earth, we're one...

And so it's over now.. you're gone
May our bones fall in sync, my love...
May we both rest in peace, my love...

I'm gonna follow in your footsteps
They'll lay us down to rest

But at last, this long lost love has found a way...

Follow

I sold my calloused heart to a collector of the arts
and it now hangs on someone's wall as a conversation piece
entitled "nothing"

These walls made of steel block the ability to feel.
In this hiding place (away) from everyone,
I write the book on what I've become
entitled "nothing"

I accept this.
Don't reach down and pull me up.
This song is evidence that I have had enough.
Just let me lay here and weep til my cup fills up.

Nothing

On the banks of the water in the Colorado River
there's a cold body swaying to the ebb and flow.
Late tonight, when the Arizona sun goes down,
I will lay my wandering lover in a 5 by 2 foot hole.

So beautiful... From the moment I laid eyes upon 
the girl who took my heart and run, I knew she was the one.
When I proposed... Not a year went by and soon she went astray
Found herself another man along the 95 highway.

And never had I felt so deceived.
That's what I get for wearing my heart upon my sleeve

She tried to play it cool...
I shoved her head below the surface...
Now who's the fool?

Banks of The Colorado

Fifty miles south of hell is where I met my southern belle.
She said she would take me to some place I could lay my head
but she took me down instead.

She told me lies, Lord... With the voice of the rotting dead.
With my eyes pried open, she showed me what could be.
I never knew my mind could expand in such a way 
that my inner demons could rise up from their graves.

I wish that I was home... Take me home...

Satan's smile burned like a pain you would never know.
It scorched the skin but it made my heart so cold.
I felt so lifeless as her nails ripped down my spine.
I guess the vengeance was hers and not mine
