These heavy thoughts, are killing me
a slow death I will meet
I can't refocus, stuck in this door
revolving traumas I'd kill to ignore
it's all ripping, my reality
weakly stitched seams, comprise me
a fellow darkness, my only friend
has come to save me
if I take its hand
I can see it, the truth in the dark
a sullen savior, peace cold and stark
held the blade to my wrist
temple pressed with a gun
found myself in a trance
convinced my time had come
it's a heartbreaking truth
reality in which I exist
spending too much time
pretending I want to live
held the blade to my wrist
pressed the gun to my head
wrote down my last words
to never speak again.

Praying to a god, who sent me to take lives
cleanse the sinning enemies of our times
eradicate the bad, force onto them what's good
my savior knows just what to do
my preacher says I should
and if I raise my hand
show apprehensive thoughts
I'm scribed into the pages of these unforgiving laws
these pews filled with hawks
speak salvation with a gun
spill the blood of heathens
kill them one by one
napalm with a smile
pulling triggers, serving death
bearing a cross that carries freedom
if you just give in
so ask yourself, are you feeling free?
padding pockets, packing caskets
sent to die for a peace that just can't happen
power vacuums, desolation
hanging figure heads, release you from oppression
counter striking, imposing sanction
impede their way of life to build the tension with them
they call us heroes, hungry for action
we find solace in black bags of plastic.

Bought The Farm

Fuck you, for peacing out that quick
you earned that shit, and should have fucking felt it
I walked away a better fucking man
betrayal masked by loyalty, too much to comprehend
a better life, a better way I seek
and another day, I get to fucking see
the scales have tipped, and not in your favor
life now lost, karma's not your savior
I paid my price, wore that scarlet letter
bearing a cross for loss that doesn't weather
I'm shrugging off this weight, cause I moved on
no more the muse, for all my fucking songs.

Am I alive? just biding my time
resurfaced presence, cogged gears aligned
a machine, built to destroy
leaving tracks of misfortune, scars upon the soil
Result of a life, forged in lies
Raised by war, bred to die
numbered in creation, disposable mirrors of men
toughness defines our worth, instincts guide us to our end
artificial peace by artificial means
for violence my heart beats, for vengeance my soul sings
and one day, you'll whistle along too.

Full Spectrum Dominance

It wont be long now, for this smile to fade
and reveal my emptiness
my ever longing, feeling of nothing
as I slip out of this
life so cold, empty and dark
no reason for waking, there's nothing left in my heart
crushed by this distance, torn down below
the light in my face, is just a show
of a bigger issue a void or so it seems
no longer subtle, this pain beneath
writhing each night in dreams of death
all I've become is a shell myself
visions so cryptic, demise of ones loved
blood covered streets where vibrance once was
under a street light a life fades away
dreams of hell are what's left of me
full spectrum dominance this pain never ends
visions of suffering now my only friend
no longer function I am less than myself
jailed inside my mind withdrawing deep in my cell.
