The Most Serious Job… At The Most Serious Time…
A lighthouse in the distance desertMy coffin is buried in a sea somewhereWatching life from the edge of a cliffIt only goes down hill from hereCan’t seem to find my current place in thisAm I the sea or the edge of the cliff?Out of body experience metaphorsAren’t what anyone should…

Much Darker Than I Intended…
Keeping a journal of my darkest thoughtsHasn’t been as cathartic as I thoughtA recollection of my own bullying ideasBeating myself into compliancyHasn’t really been the best for meListening to thoughts I haven’t heard in a whileRemembering this isn’t how I used to be…Only what I have allowed myself to becomeIf…

More people give up than succeedDoesn’t make it any easier to proceedMaybe when I’m older, maybe when I’m deadSomething to look forward to I guessNot sure what I want out of any of thisA life spent wondering what ifDoesn’t make much sense outside of the rest of itThis struggle is…

Did You Hear?… Yeah… Me Either…
Driven under there was no other wayTrapped beneath this endless rainBetween the dead and myselfThere isn’t anything left to claimI wasn’t so sure and now I knowThis was the way things were meant to beWish I knew there was another wayBefore I gave into this feelingBut there isn’t any turning…

Let’s Get It Over…
There comes a point where nothing means anythingSooner for some and maybe never for othersIt’s all kind of pointless if you think too longMoney, Sex, Power… they all run outThe obsession is an oppressive waste of timeThere ain’t no salvation out here on your kneesIn your head or behind the…
