Void

So few could presume what would happen that night
The fall was short, the cable snapped tight.
Staring out across the void with dead eyes bulging
Tired of living
Would he continue dreaming
with twine around the throat?
flesh fades to pale lavender
Writhing on the rope
a fleeting dance in departure
Suspended from the crosspiece, suspended in time
A morbid ornament, this perverse monolith of demise
I cannot begin to surmise reasons why my friend has died
Death beset him by his own volition to ease his troubled mind
I felt the crushing weight of loss again.
In the morning when I was told what you did
I felt the void of your absence
when I knew you were gone
Why would, you do this
How could, you do this to yourself
Why would, you do this
why?
A ghost in my house.
Stirring the fog,
making no sound,
toes dragging the ground,
Stirring up the fog in my head
in my house

Lightless Aeon

A cool breeze blows the leaves atop my mossy bones
In this damp and musty place where the sun has never shone
Beneath the breeze, beneath these trees
As Winter thaws the ground shifts away
In this rooted cage for a lightless aeon
Time reclaimed this rotting flesh
Beneath the earth for an eternity
Here has been my somber grave
The wind whistles through my open ribs
Filling my chest with breath and releasing a groan
To again feel the warmth of the sun's kiss
Upon my decrepit grave
of root and bone
Upon my decrepit grave
of root and bone
In the ages that have passed me
I have watched everything wither away
from the base of the willow tree
where my body lay
I feel the cold, frozen breeze
Beneath this ancient tree
In this sublunary tomb,
for eons has been where I sleep
To feel the warmth of the sun's kiss
Upon my decrepit grave
The wind whistles through my open ribs
Filling my chest with breath and releasing a groan
To again feel the warmth of the sun's kiss
Upon my decrepit grave
of root and bone
I dredge myself from this muddy hole
As I shift my bones creek and groan
Up towards skies of bronze and gold
Back from death | Back to life

No One Escapes Death

What more could I lose? With nothing left to gain
I have felt that loss shedding pieces of my soul everyday
With fleeting memories that bestow endless sums of pain
Those who parted with personality left us the empty shell
I keep their pictures hanging on my wall
Releasing themselves from the crushing clutch of this Earthly Hell
I guess that I wasn't the best of friends
I guess I was not the greatest son
Maybe I should have been more aware
I should've known you were so close to done
Watching them leave; I'm longing to join them
Water fails to quench, food turns to ash in my mouth
A deep kiss from death. Her lips so bitter sweet
Cursed to watch them all suffer then be lost in deaths abyss
I keep their pictures hanging on my wall
Releasing themselves from the crushing clutch of this Earthly Hell
I loved you through all the questionable things you did.
I still cherish you to this very day.
Your body was here.
Skin dripping from bone.
Your mind was gone.
Lost to the abyss...

A King's Bargain
04:14

Raise the seas
Raze the trees
Burn the flesh from bone
Take the cash
Burned to ash
The waves will take our homes
Slaves to wage
From Heat to Rage
Our home is now our Tomb
Burnt to ash
Throats to slash
We are all at fault
We're driving the beast that feeds our trivial needs
Ignorance overrides longevity
Planetary disfigurement for dividends
Imagine the surprise in your eyes when the tides subside
and return to claim you and your children's lives.
We're driving the beast that feeds our trivial needs
Ignorance overrides longevity
Planetary disfigurement for dividends
We've driven the beast that fed our singular greed
Avarice undermines perpetuity
Planetary disfigurement
The world is a hole for you to fuck.
We'll scorch the fucking planet to dust.
Our future was never a priority.
Fuck later, consumptive need to feed our greed.
