Tension

The time has come
It’s difficult to say
The ground is loose
And yesterday’s tomorrow day
Escape, release while you have your mind
Let go, discard, these emotions bind
Find meaning now
You have this time ponder
Hindrance collides
Keep courage, tightly fight, wander
Escape, release while you have your mind
Let go, discard, these emotions bind
I was alone, tension found me
Shown was the path, peace sought freely
Gift to the heart, wisdom broadened
History held, endless heal
The time has come, the has come to flee
Forgiveness kept, while forgiving is not for free
Be gone, be gone from this captive state
Be free, your life is your own to hate
I was alone, tension found me
Shown was the path, peace sought freely
Refresh your hearts eye, cleanse all your hatred
Time to be
Quiet your mind, you have strength you’ll see
Pull your pride, release what you can’t foresee

The Build
04:02
|
|||
|
Insure, be clear the winter spreads
Hold firm, insist that greed isn’t dead
Truest form timing will not be true
Fall to sleep, the reverence is askew
Pretend, seemly kind and just
Defend, silence is safe and a must
But the guilt, eats away every thought
And denial is justification bought
Patrons of crooked lies
Cannot heed wicked eyes
Actions though seemingly kind at first
Soon, will reveal the filth of thirst
It shows, the weakness cannot hide
The slip, suspicions slow with the slide
It’s revealed, true nature consumes mask
Now alone, head will soon take to task
Patrons of crooked lies
Cannot heed wicked eyes
Actions though seemingly kind at first
Soon, will reveal the filth of thirst
Empathy escapes the brightest stars
Kindness is found in the mason jars

Coarse Reaction
03:50

Lessons in time
Hold your coarse to the line
And rescind ev’ry action in kind
Balance is key
When it’s had for a fee
But timing once held high
Falls from trees
Hands across melted snow
Soon will be cursed
Tragedy burns your pride
It Kills your thirst
Bringing your grit
Is your last line to hit
And turns words into poison dry spit
You try your hand
But you can’t feel the sand
And hardship only
Gathers up in your craw for your soul to become canned
Hands across melted snow
Soon will be cursed
Tragedy burns your pride
It Kills your thirst
I was the last one in your orbit
That walked on eggs for reasons
That I wish to forget
Sudden and everlasting blisters
Can never heal with honor
Without lost debt
I bend I break
But I’m still here
In time, I’ll heal
I’ll shed all fear

Light Meadows
03:09

Time fades in space senses lost
Until you’re here
Gone is meaning, Gone my sight
My veneer
I regret forgotten depth held
Until you’re here
Eyes glow sharp with a smile of meadows
Vibrant skies warm inside
Tired and worn out is the heart
The pain is clear
Time approaches its lost hour bleak
Until you’re here
Eyes glow sharp with a smile of meadows
Vibrant skies warm inside
Soon dismissed are the daunting shadows
You are here, peace resides

Disarmed
04:24
|

|
The witness talks
These false wishes
Now the guard drops
But then the shroud is cast
On this hate
Bind refusal for regard
Eventless mocking of the harmless daily path
And insane trimming of the once forbidden wrath
Intense and sadistic musings soon will be forgone
The timing of flightless senses then to be as none
In the eyes of tender findings
I can see the listless kind
On the minds of fearful tidings
I can feel the years of harsh minds
The grinder breaks
Losing its mind
Harm has come to us
It cuts to hear the words
Never there
Once a feeble thought so distant
The petty hind’ring ticking of my fleeting shell
Resulting ageless longing present day rebel
Forgetting the service that was once so paramount
Remembering shelters giving fear with or without
In the eyes of tender findings
I can see the listless kind
On the minds of fearful tidings
I can feel the years of harsh minds
Lost are all my weapons for my heart’s defense
Damaged is the shield for my mind’s pretense
Retreated my guard has been turned to spare dust
Disarmed is the weapon of mass distrust
In the eyes of tender findings
I can see the listless kind
On the minds of fearful tidings
I can feel the years of harsh minds

Outsider
02:56
|
|||
|
I feel like the harm is just as well intended
Find the tenderness and you’ll survive the challenge
Lose the hateful tide that washes clear the structure
Hurt will disappear and be replaced with balance
Sanitation runs away from disengagement
Yielding precious bounty and forgiven hatred
Sending us to learn from all the past shortcomings
Pushing pulling strength to which the noise is mated
Cursing hands to adjust
Giving strength to discuss
Harbinger of harsh cuts
Outsider among us
Once the harm is felt we can’t escape the damage
Time to pull the cord and just rely on instinct
When there’s loss abound and there’s no time to react
Give it all your worth, but stay within your precinct
Cursing hands to adjust
Giving strength to discuss
Harbinger of harsh cuts
Outsider among us
The outsider has taken
Our human side of making
We must resist

The Sad Clown
05:25
|
|||
|
Slowly picking the bones
Surgically he performs
Sounds and flash, betray the tone
Words alone won’t keep warm
As he stares into his past sins
His refusal begins
Time is passing like stones
Rough and course scrape his might
Not long now, behold the truth
Methods soon will pull tight
As he stares into his past sins
Hardly bright within
Faced with truth, he must join
With all his shameful kin
Now the pressure grows thick
Hardly time left to flee
He becomes engorged and sick
Born of hatred is he
As he stares into his past sins
Hardly bright within
Faced with truth, he must join
With all his shameful kin
The frown, The crown
The gown, The clown

Trapped
04:15
|

Inside what seems a lonely shell
Lies a soul crying out
Finding light in a darkened cell
Beauty is hardly what’s left to find
In its purest the soul has clout
For now it’s not quite sure it knows what’s there
Grinding, scraping left to gray doubt
Informing, alarming inside there is life to spare
Through the shield, through the pain
Lies a lost beauty within
Those who know, those with main
Brick walls must be paper thin
Show yourself, hide no more
Grant as if it means your life
Hold the light, tend the store
Silence will not pull the knife
Deepest pain is held in so well
And scars open up with the slightest sigh
Stark denial no longer quells
The longing, the safety, there is no when who or why
Through the shield, through the pain
Lies a lost beauty within
Those who know, those with main
Brick walls must be paper thin
Show yourself, breath of life
Fear must be shunned and abhorred
Grace abound, cast the strife
Empathy must be the sword

Destructive Intent
01:30
|
|||
|
Lost rebuild
Decisive shock
Desire for harsh
Construction lock
Restrictive heads
Controlling find
Manipulate intent
Repay in kind
Animus felt
Binding grudge
Forget yourself
Empathy Judge
Hindering health
Mindless caress
You unleash your beast
Destructive Intent
Send your sigh
Destroy the heart
Assist your hate
No longer a part
What once belonged
Is now lost time
This ten-fold gap
Your life defined
How is this desire
Where is the self
One removes depth
From off the shelf
Hindering health
Mindless caress
You unleash your beast
Destructive Intent

Struggling Skies
02:53
|
|||
|
In the vast misconceptions of painful recourse
The chief analyst corrects
She exclaims the judge has already forced
But that hope can exist and create in one’s spirit clean text
Until now we had hoped that the pain would only be fleeting
Patience is key as we wade through struggling skies without meanin
|

The End
04:44
|
|||
|
Sometimes the show will not portend the true game
Until it does
Silence can’t be shame
Until it must
Kindred spirits are these
Resentment and disease
And falling to one knee
Are the witnesses to this decree
Including me
All the paths are set with charms
Pretensions falter
The chosen route is one that harms
It won’t alter
Just this once
It won’t become again
Can’t refute
What’s here, what’s been
In this the time, that joined are crimes and constant echo
The hardship is the only element engrained
There’s piece of mind
But it’s fleeting at it’s very core
Results are coming quickly
Solutions once misguided
The kind that soon will determine if cause was just or tort
And in the end the will dies
But will can soon be reborn
At last it is here, the time
While sleeping soundly
Is stricken through its jealous eye
But hardly seen
Just this once
It won’t become again
Can’t refute
What’s here, what’s been
It’s over now, the last of what was thought to be right
The foolish ones had once been told it would not die
The truth revealed
So hard to turn and catch the fly
Results are coming quickly
Solutions once misguided
The kind that soon will determine if cause was just or tort
And in the end the will dies
But will can soon be reborn
The end has placed a burden
Upon the cold one's footsteps
A present rough encounter
Just and true for all who care less
Behold the chance before you
An opportunity hence
To fight and live with the end
Lacking any firm resistance
