The Day After Tomorrow

Cast me away
Throw me away
I won't linger
I won't stay

You deserve better
At least more than I
A toast to your freedom
Spread your wings to fly

No more anything
It's locked away tight
I care but I don't
All knowing right

I approve of this message
I render myself true
No purpose ever known
No answers rightly due

I'll not linger
I'll not stay
Youve your freedom
I've another day

Memories and Pedistals

Memories and Pedistals

I've come to the conclusion
That I live in the past
With a "real world" revolation
I see my relationships never last
I bring forward her a chariot
Then quickly point out all her flaws
It's my way, or the highway
I do it without cause
Ex-girlfriends on pedistals
One more than the rest
Your flogging a dead horse here
You can't compete with the best
Memory is a cruel bitch
It's getting better with age
I've been with her, am no more
The fact that fuel my inner rage
You, the unspoken, never undersood
Misdirected artistic strife
I wish now that you leave me
Let me get on with my life
In retro-spect I realize
Shadows of my past
I see they feed the demons
Which breed the memories
Of a love that just can't last

Battle Ridden

Battle Ridden

Blood soaks the ground
All along the rubble ridden town
Our demons be damned
As brothers we will stand
We march & unfurl our flag
Foes fall, as victors we brag
Cutting threw their line
Blood flows like cheap dry wine
Battle rages, heads do roll
Lives forfiet, the passage toll
Downtrotten, we prevail
The tyrants bend, then fail
Arms unsheathed, sharp & fine
On the bastards soul, we do dine
We bring promise to this land
free and united, we do stand

take it on the Chin

Take it on the Chin

Bottled emotions
numbed out soul
Scarred memories
Reality taking toll
Inevitable outcome
Persistence of time
I've got no reason
All I have is rhyme
Livelihood in question
Motivation worn thin
Another punch thrown
I take it on the chin
I stave off sorrow
Barely keeping it at bay
A stressful afternoon
Another hair turns grey

A New Day

A New Day

for much too long
i've not felt content
reclusive and alone
i no longer shall lament
wholesale life change
wakes me to a new day
my world found some color
no longer idling black & grey
a new workplace finally found
with a chance to go to school
i see this an opertunity
to no longer be a tool
more than a year of waiting
i finally see a spark
my world seems much brighter
as i'm no longer living in the dark
learning how to care again
la chica sexy makes it real
dormant emotions waking
as old scars start to heal
