I. Gaslighting God

flipping scripts on fools
shining on basking demons
shrunken heads reveal their charms
swollen under tides of poison
slipping under swelling skies
let rain wash me away

your smile brings a new angle
to a life already drowned in red
an arrow grown into my ankle
sung from an angel's weapon
a thorn grew out of your frown
plucked like white roses

i remember your touch
how it weakened me then
i can't recall your love
and how it beckoned me then
seems it's always been lost
seems it was never there

a letter from a priestess
echoes in these crumbling halls
her claws no longer dig
deep into my rotting flesh
the scabs are gone and what remains
is a whisper of what could have been

a cry from the jungle
catches my attention in its net
i tumble from high above
back into a grounded dream
standing brings new changes
far removed from a ravens eye

how I long for your touch
how it could lift me up
can't go without your love
oh how it beckons me
seems I've never been found
seems I was never lost

Angel's Weapon

deaths hands left scars on my heart
squeezed it shut but let it go
free to roam on hells floors
never without an errors margin

hollowed out graves walk my streets
within their gaze i make my keep
on a monster back no longer
under a monsters feet im a giant

footsteps in the lands shadow
broken under no more masts
words pour out my shallows
alchemist turned poison to water
my fear into laughter
my tears into joy
and my pain into strength

the inches dont build the building
the inches dont build my/the burning

Death's Hands

can't you see can't make up my mind
felt the rush of life coming back
whispered silhouettes try to guide
bring me closer to my collapse

synthesised minds eye erodes your chain
sinking sedative hollows you
locked your flame away in a cage
casting shadows I thought you knew

please don't take your time
i'm slipping away
i don't mind
staying this way
don't take your time
i'm slipping away
i don't mind

synthesised minds eye erodes your chain
sinking sedative hollows you
locked your flame away in a cage
casting shadows I thought you knew

please don't take your time
i'm slipping away
i don't mind
staying this way
don't take your time
i'm slipping away
i don't mind

Silhouettes

locked out all these dreams
wish you could see with my eyes
realise your place in this
feel the weight of your mind

bent out of shape but never broken
fixing your soul was never the issue
licking your wounds until
the pus pours into the tissue

before you forget
don't try to remember
all that you've been
just come out and play
but don't forget
everything burns you
if you stay too dry inside
let the flames lick outside

i suppose you've grown to like the taste
wish you'd grow outside your mould
you're on the edge of yourself again
twisting the knife into your guts

cast out your shame
embrace the pain
let vulnerablility
shape your ability

before you forget

Vulnerable Abilities

i'm on a wave
from crest to trough
can't it keep going?
i haven't had enough

forbidden exit
locked away inside
no longer cold
where I reside

your eyes are fiction
dancing across my skies
blocking my vision
filled up on lies

left to dry off
fell into place
locked outside my minds
expired face

never on a mission
until fate arrived
bloated and vile
hidden beauty cried

your eyes are fiction
dancing across my blindness
locking my decision
filled up on kindness

feels I'm always whole
without the emptiness
wish I could call out
to your nothingness

rising like dust
out shaking curtains
cobwebs piled up
never a burden

your eyes are fiction
dancing across my blind skies
stocking my incisions
stitching my lost mind

stretch my blind eyes wide
to fetch me my kind
bending my fragile ego
to mend my lonely hello

your eyes are fiction
dancing across my skies
blocking my vision
filled up on nothing at all

Your Eyes Are Fiction

I like to rush
