"The Change"

There's a hole that leads
That leads straight down to hell
 
And there's a man who's 
pouring
Pouring poison in the well.
 
And the change it's coming
For us all, you can tell
 And the change is
Hollowing out this shell

There's a stream that flows
That flows through virgin plain
And it's green and its sheen
Its sheen untouched by pain.

And the change it's coming
You can try and hide in vain

And the change 
Is coming on again

There's a swell that seeps
That seeps in from
underground
And it runs unchecked and
unbound
And the poison flows and the 
poison creeps
Creeps and sours what it keeps.

And the change it's coming
Though the world's half asleep

And the change
Cuts more than skin-deep

There's a river and it's fed
It's fed from a thousand 
streams
And it's thousand dreaming 
dreams
And the poison creeps and the
poison flows
Flows and every drowning' dreamer screams.

And the change it's coming
Tearing up at the seams

And the change is
Is running on full steam

There's a girl and she's led
She's led to the streaming filth
And another mother watches her play
Watches as she washes all her 
innocence away
Watches as the poison works 
its will.

And the change it's coming
Girl to woman it will kill

And the change is
Coming faster still

There's a boy and he's led
Yes he's led
By a man to a well
A deep old hole in the ground
And pouring poison that 
The men are passing round
That big old hole
Well, it swallows him down
All the way
To a base and hellish hall
But was he pushed or did he fall?

Cos the change it's still coming
Boy to manhood others call

Can we really
Change at all?

Deepest darkest fears around
people living half asleep

All the monsters that I've seen
look like all the people
living in the suburbs
mommies daddies all the teachers
killing all their victims

Trust No One

Rode the bus back into town
saw a girl weeping sad
never knew that her last hour
came from her own dad

Trust No One

In my own life
I've seen the crimes
drawn up against me
[FILTHY FUCKING COPS!]

In my own childhood
they stood against me
never helping

So Help Me God!

Trust No One

Shut up the pain!
Lock it away!
Shut up the pain!
Lock it away!

Trust No One

Men will rape and men will kill
all the creatures great and small
Women stand by helplessly
grinning creatures
bleeding wounds

Shut up shut up
Shut up your pain, lock it away!
Shut up shut up
Shut up your pain, lock it away!

Trust No One
Trust No One!

You'll never get me now
You'll never kill me now

I know the crimes you did
you'll burn in hell you filthy shit!

TRUST NO ONE

Trust No One

(No one will say a prayer)
Where is your daughter? Where is your son? When you're on the run, nobody cares...
It's no one you know
so you don't have to care
you don't have to care
(never again)
It's not your daughter
It's not your daughter
so you don't have to care
It's not your son
It's not your son
so you don't have to care
no, you don't have to care
(too late for a prayer)
On the run
On the streets
(all alone)
Nobody sees
Nobody cares
(or gives a damn)
and we all disappear
and we all disappear
We're not even - here
(No one will save your daughter)
(No one will save your son)
(No one will save the others)
Where is your daughter?
Where is your son?
When you're on the run
Nobody cares

It's no one you know
so you don't have to care

No One You Know

Where scientists are just beginning to unlock the clues of the universe with the Sagittarius A* black hole at the center of the Milky Way Galaxy (near the Butterfly Cluster) -- a woman is already experiencing the rebirth of the universe inside her mind.
...///...
She has found the portal to other worlds and other beings, but she doesn't have the technology to communicate (yet). Instead, she has found an alternative method -- to communicate to the beings of the universe within the portal of her mind.

Greetings to the Universe

"Loneliness is a Killer"
by Emerald A. Behrens 2022

I stood alone on the street
watching people pass me by
not a single glance to spare

Loneliness is a Killer
Sneaking up on you

When one and one
go
hand in hand
but you've got none
you're
all alone

Loneliness is a killer

Solitary-beds
at night
but you're alone
yeah you're alone
there's no one left to care

You've only got yourself to blame
they say
You've only got yourself
to blame
for the hell you've been through
for the terror you've been through
for the people who abuse
you

Loneliness will kill you
in the end

"Living as a Ghost"
by Emerald A. Behrens
Grim Goblin Jack
© 2022

I live as a ghost
I walk as a ghost

no one sees
no one hears

I live as a ghost

can you see me?
can you hear me?

I'm a ghost

I walk the night
I walk the day

invisible
invisible
here

I live as a ghost

For several years
For several nights
I've lived alone

Throughout the years
Throughout the nights
I alone exist
as a ghost

I live as a ghost

I walk as a ghost

No one sees
No one hears

I'm a ghost

Can you see me?
Can you hear me?

crying out
alone

I walk the day
invisible

I'm a ghost

. . . .

(drumbeat)

I survived
I survived
I survived the hell
here

alone alone alone

I survived to live the tale
I survived to sing about it all
for anyone who will listen
I survived

they tear me down
I don't care
they call me crazy
fuck that shit

I know what I've been through

to hell and back again
and again and again
and they make me go through it again

it's a war zone out here

I survived

it's what they do
it's what they do to me to you to us
to women

it's what they do
it's what I do
to survive here

living as a ghost
living but invisible to you to others
to everyone

here

is it worth it?
is it worth it?
another day another year to survive
is it worth it?
to hell and back again

can you hear me?
do you know what I'm saying here?

they thought they could kill me
they tried to kill me
they tried to take my life away from me

well it didn't work
not yet folks
I'm still here

I'm still here

as a ghost
in the day
in the night
crying out
alone
here

for you…

The Lonely Hauntings

Living as a Ghost

"Dance a World" © 2022 Grim Goblin Jack, Emerald A. Behrens

if I could dance through the universe again
if I could dance a world away again here
I would dance a world anew with every step
I would dance and dance another universe inside

my body spins inside like a world/whirl
turning round again
and I dance each step I take another round
in a new world
I dance it all again
this dance it brings a universe to me in a trance I take each step again anew
so I turn around and dance a universe into a world inside my mind again anew
I dance we dance we turn around again and another world unfolds within our minds our bodies move within with each step we take a universe is born
so I dance
I dance 
and I dance I dance another world
in the universe
in the universe ...

00:13
(what do you see when you look at the clouds? Can you see the shapes? And the faces? Looking back at you?)

00:26 I travel in my mind
I travel to worlds beyond the sky

00:45 floating and reeling

00:48 (all around)

00:54 I'm flying here, still lost in this moment

01:02 (time ticks by)

01:07 time and space have no meaning
but I, I travel in my mind

01:19 (time and space)

01:26 (up high)

01:34 I reach the clouds, by standing still,
I see the light, when I close my eyes

01:49 (in the darkness there is the light)
01:57 (can you see it now?)

02:00
leaving my body
come sit here beside me

let's journey together

while lying, in the grass

02:14 (watching clouds float by)

02:19 I'm leaving my body
but I'm still here

I'm leaving my body
but I'll be back soon

02:33 I have no place to go

02:40 I'm flying away

02:45 no place to be, but I am, wandering, through the worlds

02:58 leaving my body
03:05 I'm standing still
03:11 leaving my body
but I'm still here

03:23 leaving
my body
but
03:28 I'll be back soon

03:31 (time ticks by)

03:36 (and by)

03:39 I travel in my mind, I travel to worlds beyond the sky
floating and reeling, I'm flying here still lost in this moment
time and space have no meaning but I,
I travel in my mind

03:56 (in a dream)

03:58
I'll be back soon

Leaving my body

Read the story, here: https://www.quotev.com/story/15252806/Within-the-Dark-Moon/1

beware the world you cross into 
for you may lose your way 
and never come back here...
 
From this world into the next
she went across the border
and found herself alone at last
where humans dared not go

a magic realm with powers dark
she walked the crooked path
to find herself the light she lost
when she was just a child

Through strangers and sorcery
she wove a tangled web
Which pulled her down much too fast
into the waters deep

Oh Lillian, oh Lillian…
why did you go away?
Oh Lillian, oh Lillian
What made you go astray?

From this world into the next
she fled across the border
and found herself with creatures dark
where humans had not lived

a magic realm with goblins here
she danced the crooked mile
to find herself a love she lost
and never be a bride

Through goblins and trickery
she pulled a tangled thread
which tripped her up much too fast
into the hell below

Oh Lillian, oh Lillian…
why did you go away?
Oh Lillian, oh Lillian,
Who made you go astray?

From this world into the next
she shut herself away
and vowed to never wake again
among the human race

The memories had faded now
she gave a crooked smile
to find herself the story here
which no one would believe

Through writings and songs she sung
she spun a fancy tale
which sent her over much too fast
into the prison walls
     
Oh Lillian, oh Lillian…
Why did you go astray?
Oh Lillian, oh Lillian…
Who locked you up away?

I've walked a thousand miles
and wondered where to go…

you cannot stay
there's no place here

nowhere to run
when you're on the run

where do you go?

i cannot rest
i cannot think
i cannot be
anywhere
anyplace
i cannot be
what i am
who i am
here

i walked a thousand miles and wondered where to go

i cannot stay i cannot run

no place to go

i cannot be
i cannot go
i cannot stay
what do i do?

this world tears apart the spirit deep inside
this world will tear you
down down to the ground

where do you go?

I walked a thousand miles and wondered where to go

I've made my place here deep inside
I keep myself here deep inside

I found the peace deep inside
I've walked a thousand miles

I know my home is here

I've walked a thousand miles and know my peace is here inside me

I've walked a thousand miles and know my home is here inside me

here I'm at peace deep inside

here I'm at home deep inside

I've found my place

 here

What is Christmas without a Christmas story? Well Grim Goblin Jack has a story of his own...
You see, while all the little boys and girls get to sleep in their warm cozy beds before Santa comes to visit, Grim Goblin Jack never had such a thing. His Christmas was very different from yours or mine. His Christmas was very different altogether!
So, while people of the world celebrate their holidays,
Grim Goblin Jack celebrates in his own very special way…
