1. HALF LIFE CHANGELINGS

Silk spun heads
Born anew, a blinding constellation bloom
Joints creak, a waking dream
Aching anomalous stinging intruders

A graceless form of life
polluting all we know
All I see is blight
Phthalates in blood

Cancer cells mobilize
Breathing fumes
For decades

Petro biological liturgical daymare
The sixth kingdom
a growing hive of backdoor dealings
Burnt to the floor - toss the husk
Populous control - systematic bio war

A graceless form of life
polluting all we know
All I see is blight
Phthalates in blood


2. DOORS TO MENTAL AGONY

Reality’s a curtain
A mirrored surface
Concealing what’s beneath us

The pain we feel
Each waking moment
A tithe for nothing
Divine what’s really there

Hermetic corners of lonely blackness
Corridors of perfected agony

A hundred dead ends
A thousand dead friends
I hear their howling
I hear them weeping
Hundred dead ends
Thousand dead friends
Severed ties
beloved lies

Doors of agony
Fear unwritten

Doors to mental agony
Fear that is unwritten
Void of opportunity
a ravaged fucking schism


3. TRANSMUTING CHEMICAL BURNS

Morning dew on a bloated corpse
Distended guts chemmed out for days
Over saturated with deathly fluids
Hidden treasure in the dawning mist

Cornucopia for the dogs
Getting higher off the flesh

I can taste God on your breath
I can feel him in your marrow
As I tear strips from your pulped face
Foul taste on the back of my tongue

Dreaming dead dreams
Tripping on corpse
Transmuting chemical burns
Straight from the source

Morning dew on a bloated corpse
Distended guts chemmed out for days
Over saturated with deathly fluids

Hidden treasure in the dawning mist


4. FRACTURED BONDS TO MECCA

Fell voice
Foul clouds
Fractured bonds to Mecca
Severed ties to grace

False balm for deep wounds
Leaking prismatic light

When Aurora calls
My father's name
On black winds
Deaf to the cries
A weeping choir pleads and begs
Defeated
Forgotten in death


5. COAGULATED BLISS

Lower the drape
Taste the honey
Rotten to the touch
Coagulated bliss

Over a field of failures
A dying oracle
Smells of stinking filth
From a dead end hovel

Inability to cope
Refusal to grow
A burnt out tower
At the needle’s end

Tracing withered veins
Alchemical ascent
Grounded and lifted
star crossed angel

Upwards to bliss
Morphine drip
Clogged for good
Into a track marked arm

Lower the drape
Taste the honey
Rotten to the touch
Coagulated bliss

Drink from the fountain
Waters run black
Polluted with forgotten years


6. BLEEDING HORIZON

Robbing my future
erasing my past
Numb for years
Scouring my soul
Gnawing at bindings
Grasping for life
Bones are haunted
Utterly fucking spent

Ladder of divine ascent

Carry my failures
Over the bleeding horizon
Climb this burning ladder
Over a bleeding horizon

Nothing to strive for
Nothing to be
Not much left to hold onto
Existential thief

Eject my soul over the bleeding horizon
Climb this burning ladder over the bleeding horizon


7. VOMITING GLASS

I’ll find you in the wilderness
I’ll eat your steaming heart
Mull over your rotten guts
Dissecting your past by hand

I’ve got nothing left to lose
Vomiting glass, choking on blood
falling apart at the seams
And when I sleep, your eyes will close
Marring your pillaged corpse


8. SCHIZOID RUPTURE

Burning thief in the night
Vacuous killer in the dark
Muse of fire
Raking coals across your face
Lost favor in he-god’s eyes
hands of defeat
Mouth of lies
There’s a fever in my heart
A torch in my head burning me

Can’t give back what’s long been spent
Starved for revenge
I’ll find you
Varicose veined hands howling in disgust
Life denied
Box cutter to your face wounds leaking pus
Cold sweat pours
Am I messiah? Or amphetamine blind?

Schizoid rupture
Track mark asterisms
Life ending decisions
misthreaded needle
Life denied


9. VACUOUS DOSE

Vessel reignited
A skeleton of coal
Ash to bone
An abandoned post
The mind will always betray the heart and soul
A body at rest - a derelict abandoned post
I call his name / no signal / no response
You can’t take what’s dead and convince it to grow

14 years are gone
A pale horse is shrieking
Memories are warped and tangled
Like scattered debris
Burning like matches
Rooms bending in
It's all bearing down on a lake of tears

A pale horse is shrieking.
An abandoned post.
Sleep will never come


10. GASPING DUST

The gasping dust
Forest in ruins
Surroundings bound in flames

Gasping for air in a crumbling world
Appalachia gone to waste
Trees in misery
Riddled with sores
Roots prying through barren soil

Clouds of dust
Desperate heaving
Snuffed out quick in the dark


11. GELDING OF MEN

Men in line
Now laid bare
Before Christ
Lines cut

Cursed Namesake
Hypothermic
Run down by wolves
With gelding knives
The stench of fear
The taste of sweat
Blisters ooze
Rancid pus

Wailing geists
Heard for miles
Blade pulls
Borne low

Now laid bare
Before Christ
Lines cut


12. MALFORMED LIGATURE

Sipping nectar from the source
Led down a bloodied path
A mirrored helm / a plastic cell
Fateless road to ruin

Children with guns, fiends with shields held high
Martyred under some spiteful flag for nothing
Bodies mulched for profit, for glory, for godhood
This malformed ligature is binding in me forever

A wounded deer leaps higher
I’ve heard the hunter tell
Tis the ecstasy of death
And then the brake is still

A pox on our souls
On our ruined house
Less than we desire
And more than we deserve

A wounded deer
leaps higher in the dark
Grace. Morality.
Fealty. Malformed ligature
A pox on our mutilated souls
Coagulated Bliss.
