Smoke and Mirrors

existential smoke and mirrors
how i wish i could cut my eyes out
every night while i’m asleep
i dream of mirrors mocking me
to stand on this balcony
i hear my love rushing towards me
i’m already past the barrier
and falling fast
tomorrow’s headlines read
just another statistic
crocodile tears bleed
lost her soul to the endless dream
covered in ash
the only way to feel something
oh my god
my blood is on fire
feel my skin crawling
i scratch at my chest
just once i want to see
the sun rising over paderborn
i’m already past the barrier
and falling fast
tomorrow’s headlines read
just another statistic
crocodile tears bleed
lost her soul to the endless dream
my body
my temple
my kingdom
my castle
my body
my temple
my kingdom
my castle
my body
my temple
my kingdom
my castle
my body
my temple
my kingdom
my castle
(burn)
my body
my temple
(break)
my kingdom
my castle
(destroy)
my body
my temple
(invade)
my kingdom
my castle
(burn)
my body
my temple
(break)
my kingdom
my castle
(destroy)
my body
my temple
(invade)
my kingdom
my castle

The Self

the sun ascends above
the frozen lakes
the deer run and flowers bloom
as heat escapes yet
i could not see
my eyes
were blinded by
the hate
in your heart
you are me
vision compromised
hallucinations clouding judgement
there is beauty in this world
but i feel pain trapped in my dungeon
colours muted to a point
where all may as well be black and white
i don’t even keep track any more
if it is day or it is night
the sun ascends above
the frozen lakes
the deer run and flowers bloom
as heat escapes yet
i could not see
my eyes
were blinded by
the hate
in your heart
you are me
can we do today another time?
i doubt i’ll ever feel at home in this place
waking up feels like treading through a bog
opening my eyes
is a pain
that i can no longer face
god damn you
you who burdened me with breath and thoughts
my motivation lies in spite
that one day i will learn to kill a god
every night while i’m asleep
i dream of mirrors mocking me
the waking world is full of lies
i blind myself that i might see
the sun ascends above
the frozen lakes
the deer run and flowers bloom
as heat escapes yet
i could not see
my eyes
were blinded by
the hate
in your heart
you are me

Halo of Sun

i never thought i’d see my own brain undone
(come undone)
i watch the rain fall down in the middle of a halo of sun
(halo of sun)
the plants take root inside the soil by my window
the water feeds their need to bloom
the floods build walls around me
i can’t swim
i cannot escape
i want to be let out
i’m drowning
please save me
this is a cry for help
i’m drowning
god please save me
am i safe or inside the eye of a storm
in this halo of sun i feel no warmth
synapses burn to life
i take a step into the unknown
the water holds me tight
i can’t swim
i give myself to drown
i want to be let out
i’m drowning
please save me
this is a cry for help
i’m drowning
god please save me
i refuse to be scared any longer
the halo is bright but it is cold
the torrents may strip flesh
but if i stay i’ll never know
i want to be let out
i’m drowning
please save me
this is a cry for help
i’m drowning
god please save me

Sleep

eyes refuse to close
brain activity is ballistic
dancing pictures of a dream
refuse to let themselves be seen
take another pill
medication to cure your ills
when the terrors plague the mind
try to rest your head as sun brings light
sleep will never be your friend
demons crawl into your dreams regardless
and when eyes spring open they’re waiting with fangs
blood dripping claws unfurl
to open up your chest defenceless
right now it feels like you’ll never walk again
sleep will never be your friend
demons crawl into your dreams regardless
and when eyes spring open they’re waiting with fangs
tears replace what the sandman brings
there are no saviours descending on feathered wings
endlessly you toss and turn
writing with bugs that herald the coming of harbingers
just take another pill
just take another fucking pill
when the terrors plague the mind
try to rest your head as sun brings light
run!
i just want to sleep
eyes refuse to close
brain activity is ballistic
dancing pictures of a dream
refuse to let themselves be seen
sleep
sleep will never be your friend
demons crawl into your dreams regardless
and when eyes spring open they’re waiting with fangs
blood dripping claws unfurl
to open up your chest defenceless
right now it feels like you’ll never walk again
