[ dead man on a hill ]

Can you see me? I move with the wind
My life support failed me; no different from the rest of the world
I rot and decay, and the worms lick my bones tenderly
A new generation sprouts in my womb of a corpse

No harm will come to you, save for disease, perhaps
I never wanted to hurt anyone, but alas, the rats
Feed on my flesh and spread their stench and parasites
Use me and use me until the very end, why don't you...

There are glittering, infested holes where my eyes once were
Yet I see all around me; does the soul possess a higher sight?
Perhaps I have no soul. Perhaps I am dreaming, perhaps I am not dead.
How I wish, how I wish I were not dead!

The children - they run in terror as nature's forces animate me
Why don't they see me for what I am? Even with a heartbeat
I am rotting, I am dead, and still no-one will love me? What harm can I bring?
Am I so disgusting? I thought myself beautiful, once...

[ kept ]

Please, said the mocking pheasant
As the shackles tore and laughed, clink clank
The stone walls crumpled with mirth and sniggered
Leaving a shamed face hung in misery
As a mirror image stared back at him and grinned

It grinned, he saw, it smiled and jeered
Pleaded to make him blush and sought to break him
A soldier may not disobey an order, and though he
was no soldier, it was just the same
Authority overrides pride.

Wh-tshh! Searing, beautiful pain!
Broken.

[ where does it go? ]

Well where do the people go? They must go somewhere!
I see them in the mornings, I see them everywhere
I watch them trot along across the road without a care
Flashing red lamps, screaming birds and spinal cordal tear

I'm not afraid to die, but I used to be. Back in prison,
where you're someone's dog unless you fight them.
Even then you end up with a broken nose and a reputation.
I never wanted to be anything like the hordes.

Where does time go? It seems to desert me
Strands me on the highway and then leaves suddenly,
with no warning and no last traces to be seen
Oasis of water, false vision of dreams.

Give me a little mescaline, I used to say
It was my way, I howled, or none at all!
They'd let me in for a while, eventually
I'd sing, I'd sway, and finally, fall.

Where does life go? My bones feel as if they might snap.
I am a caged bird, never free, never able to fly
Even if the door was unlocked now, I'd still be trapped
My wings will stay broken 'til the day that I die.

[ poetry&lyrics ]

A storage, of sorts, for all of the poetry/lyrics I've posted on here. It's easier to have them all in one place, no? Keeps things tidier.

I can't quite organise them properly into seperate 'Poetry' and 'Lyrics' sections, because often they are both.

Organised in chronological order.

[ who fears it? ]

Who knows it? The infinite abyss,
the end, the apocolypse,
Man's dying day and final wish,
abhorred by all that find it.

Who wants it? The hangman's noose.
Bodies swinging free and loose,
whipped by servants bound to Zeus,
madmen find they seek it.

Who needs it? The slash of wrist
A razorblade, unholy tryst
Father's tears and Mother's kiss
They cannot let you need it.

Who sees it? The reaper's smile
A scythe, and smiling all the while
spirits dark and spirits vile
Only the dead can see it.

Who hears it? The wind of course I see,
whispers lies to you and me
The door is locked and breaks the key
And trapped inside, we hear it.

Who fears it? The living man breathes dying air
A life for nothing, see him there
beneath the ocean, pale and fair
I believe we know we fear it.

[ drown me ]

The wind blew down from the North that day
Casting skulls and dust from the earth's debris
I looked out at the never-ending sea
And begged you just to drown me

Twins and triplets came to watch
The ticking of the final clock
Time can slow but never stops
As long as someone's waiting

We searched the shoreline, you and I
I sat you down so you could cry
Without the cruel and prying eyes
Of those who sought to hurt you

A decade's year became a day
You treated me another way
Changed and never quite the same
Compared to memory

The sun was dead in the West that night
The war was lost on either side
Sought help from God and he replied
That you would someday drown me

He didn't help, he didn't care
I looked for Satan and found him there
Sprawled on silk he'd rip and tear
Trying to impress

The moon rose up with sinner's fear
The devil took your soul from here
Cast it out away from me
And silently, I drowned

hamster in my mouth.

he just clambered halfway into my mouth because I'm eating chocolate.

Page is my new dentist.

BYE GUYS I NEED MOUTHWASH WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED I COULDN'T EVEN GET HIM OUT INCASE I BIT HIM OR HE BIT ME I DON'T

HE'S
BEEN
SO WEIRD
THE PAST FEW DAYS
-CRY-

[ blood red wine ]

You remind me of a girl I used to know,
I used to love her on the summer sundays
She would tease me and then off she'd go
Leave me crying in the desert haze

Yesterday, I took you down the river I used to go
I brought along our favourite radio
You sang a song to me right from the heart
You said - just like her - we'd never part

I got red blood, and I got red wine
I can't tell the truth, all of the time
My God above, he don't answer me, he makes me...cry
And I won't ever know the reason why

Red blood, and red red wine, oh my
Please don't ask me for the reason why
It took me years to get away from loving you
And many other girls they broke me, too

Winter came, winter went and left me in spring rain
I couldn't tell you just how much pain
I went through, to get to you, to get away
I should have saved my love for another day

I got red blood, and I got red, red, red wine
I've been in love, and I just lose it every single time
Red blood, and the reddest wine I've ever seen
I can't tell you just how long it's been

Red blood, red wine, I got red, red, red all over me
You put red, red, red all over me
And I can't, well I just can't get free of this
Red blood, and red red wine, oh my
Seems I lose my mind all the time...

[ sociopath ]



when I stand outside your door, I hope that you don't mind
'cause if you ever knew me, you'd know that I'm unkind
I'm a madman and a sociopath, I don't know how to feel
and yet I think my love for you is beautiful and real

well where do you go at night, where do you go?
I can't seem to see you through your window
crawl into the bathroom and there do I see
you, in the arms of a mule, and not me

can't you see it's going to rain? I'll knock on your windowpane
everything still seems the same, and yet I think I'm insane
I'll be drownin' in the drain, I'm a man that can't be tamed
all my love's in vain, every inch of you I'll claim

love is a bed for the blues, dear
white sheets to use and abuse, here
gone are the days of Victorian fear
you'd learn to love if you'd just let me near

when I'm running after him, I hope that you don't see
as the dagger cuts through skin, you'll only think of me
I could show you everything, on the earth and in the trees
we'd be a camoflauge of sin, and we'd only live to please

I see you at night, I see you at night you know
I'm not sure why I'm still here for you
sink into mud and trenchwater, now
broken the Lord's most sacred vow

won't you whisper to the light? I can blot it out with night
you'll go down without a fight, I can break you down to cry
I would sentence you to death, hear your last, your dying breath
there's a lesson to be learned - my suicide was earned.
