A Life Without Mercy

The minstrel swept a dark note across his electric lyre. Started up on two feet which drew him to the fire. The maiden with her fond heart, passed a gaze from distant scene. Enchanted was the moment, loathsome ending to a dream. Fair Mercy with her soft grasp penned a letter to her love. Prayed fast she was the one thing he was singing of. The anguish weaved in each song, a love we could not see. “In time these chains will drown us and we will be set free.” The angel said of Mercy. What a pure heart will become. Not taken was your own life, but a chance to see the son. It Rained September 14th, as the fall winds drew in near. The minstrel and his mercy had seemed to disappear. The King set out on night roads, hell bent to bring them back. A princess and her pauper for whom time is fleeting fast. The minstrel asked the angel, What of mercy will become? Taken mine and her life, but done so out of love. Do you mean to take my soul away to a dark and wishless well? A moment with out mercy is an eternity in hell. The angel stood and smiled. Turned to face the lovesick fool. It is not my place to judge It is God who makes up all the rules.

April Showers

A saint’s composure in a heretic pose. Silent from his grasp searching shameless for her clothes. A wounded heart and mind both jailed and juxtaposed. Sweet seasons not remembered whose truths were only hopes. Cut away the moment leave behind the memories. The night I saw you smiling you say you lived in misery. I’ll take you far from here if you’re not afraid to leave. Wild and wilting flower whom pain had once betrothed. Where truthful tones that tell lies leave no man unopposed. The ceremony sweeps me the morning rituals closed. Eyes not truly open shine no light into the soul. Cut away the moment leave behind the memories. The night I saw you smiling you say you lived in misery. I’ll take you far from here if you’re not afraid to leave.

Ashes to Ashley

She wore a young girl's smile and her lips were breathing life to the doubts I'd saved. I could never find a way to save me from her light. I was young myself those days. She was darker than the moons early phase. We were drinking so much, we could never drink enough. I wouldn't give it all up to say. Ashley, I can see it on your face. I could never leave just like you could never stay. You don't have to love me. I'll be just fine this way. Ashley. She liked to drive and I didn't mind. I like to ignore the posted speed signs. We were always together we were never far apart. We were two dead people sharing one broken heart. I was young myself those days. I was darker than the moons early phase. We were drinking so much, we could never drink enough. I wouldn't give it all up to say. Ashley, I can see it on your face. I could never leave just like you could never stay. you don't have to love me. I'll be just fine this way. Ashley. Well she had this bad habit of being right, and we were two different people from day to night. We knew it wouldn't last but we still tried and i can never look back and forget those nights. I was young myself those days. She was darker than the moons early phase. We were drinking so much, we could never drink enough. I wouldn't give it all up to say. Ashley, I can see it on your face. I could never leave just like you could never stay. you don't have to love me. I'll be just fine this way. Ashley.

Bona Sera

Questions, questions, they surround me. I can’t seem to follow through. Everything I’ve ever wanted, Everything that I swore to. Bona Sera, Goodnight Empty conscience shallow dreams. Chasing down a teenage scene. Growing older more obsessed. Growing further from my friends Bona Sera, Goodnight Welcome to the show I can see some new faces. This looks nothing like all the other places. We’ve been out for months, we could really use a drink. This is our new song, please tell us what you think. Well it Looks like I’m leaving town. Guess I won’t see you for now. If everything goes right I’ll be home by Tuesday night. Everybody loves you, everybody is staring. Everybody has a life that they are comparing. I’ll be home to run my fingers through your dark hair. Save you from the monsters that are never really there. Paint a scene and fall asleep beneath the candle light and wish away the memory of every lonely night.

Daedelus

Just tell me your bleeding so I might stop breathing out words meant to cut. My ship is departing. My pride is embarking on the Daedalus. Dont Hold on. Raise your Sheilds. Save olds truths for new lives. Take old pain buy new knives to to carve away us. I'm chasing an ew dream. We will save the galaxy on Daedelus. I cannot not escape the love I cannot save. I cant seem to get myself far enough away. Every little piece of my galaxy is centered on you. If you would fight for me then I would die to see what its like to see you sleeping next to me and we could fly away to whatever star you choose.

Illuminated

I am not impressed, because you are not impressive. I am not obsessed to be a part of your collective. My mind is what it is, my mind is more selective, my mind is turning rhythms set to bounce to my objectives. Its ineffective, this congestion of the truth to hide directives. this detective will defect and you will be as was suspected. The war on terror, the war on drugs, the war on liberty, the war on love. The war on the working class by corporate thugs. Who seem to have it all but its just never enough and everything they touch is depleted to dust. They came to take the money and exploit our trust. I'd like to change it all until they can not discern it but they've made sure I can't afford the gas I need to burn it. I'll hold on to what I’ve found. My path illuminated now. The light shines past my life. I see such wasted time. I can often be deceptive in my direct approach, where certain points of truth are for the best left unknown. While simple paths of reason seem to point to the past, as I look to the future and I will hope nothing lasts. Broken hearted when it started I was nothing when we parted. Sad, pathetic, but eclectic and the mix is dialectic. I was hoping for a moment you would should show me your smile. You seem so elevated could we talk for a while.

Misfit Toys

Maybe you are free, Maybe you would like to be. I have nothing to hide. I am now what I’ll always be. Left like a abandoned toys . Ol’ Nicks last resort. Pulling teeth from a snow man. Can’t find just where the feeling is stored. The mirror is smeared with distaste and you don’t get to see me anymore. There is nothing binding me to this place. All your words just fall out on the floor. Some promises are never made. Despite what words may say. It is random or it is fate. I know I’m fucked either way. Where there not a reason I could turn the season and you and I would be ok. You have your resistance I will keep me distance from tired old love’s cliché [all your wicked ways]. Maybe you are free, Maybe you would like to be. I have nothing to hide. I am now what I’ll always be.

Prometheus

My mind still paints a picture of a world I know I left behind at home. As perfect as it wasn't, I still miss all my time alone. How did I end up here? Where did I go Wrong? Is there any reason to even play along? I'm cold and I'm afraid. I find myself pretending I am brave. I drift into my thoughts. I wake to find it hasn't gone away. I love them like my brothers. I'd die to save their lives. It's just never come to this. I hope my parents wont survive thier son. What am I doing here? Killing people for your lies. I cannot believe that anybody wants to die. Is this democracy? The seed grows strong with blood-soaked tides. "If you really want a free world then somebody's gotta die". I know the answer. It isn't free-world-market trade. It's giving love to everyone who doesn't have a place. We can make room, if you care hard enough to try. They dont hate you for your god, just your selfish wasted life. I will stand up and bring myself before their eyes. If hate it is the darkeness then love it is the light. I will stand up and bring myself before your eyes. If hate it is the darkeness then love it is the light.

Queen Anne's Escape

My TV went out today. Happens every time it rains. The weather comes in when I’m struggling to live, lord, I watch it all fade to gray. So I got her on the line that day. Said she understands my pain. "Let me tell you just a bit about no commitment, get the finer points of being a slave. Bundle up, its cold outside. Like a good neighbor I’ll be by your side. If your feeling all alone I’ll bring the world to your home and we will always have tonight. I could think of many things to say but would you hear me through the static anyway. Just give me one night and if I’ve ever done right, God will never set forth the day.

How do you measure your pain, in little pints of regret? I’ve got the liver of a seasoned vet. So, I know just how it tastes to be living in a dream state. At night you drink to make it go away. So much resistance, but so little change and you’ve been running now for days. And you said "baby don’t you leave me. I been trying, I know I can change. I won’t hurt you like I always did. It’s different now, this life I live. And you can love me like when we were kids. I will love just the same." I wouldn’t help if I wanted to. There's not a fucking thing that I can do. I know the lies, but not the truth. I know enough to stay away. You can listen to the birds they sing. They say they to get the fuck away from me. The biggest difference ‘tween you and me is I know what you’re gonna say.

Shiner

She has the appetite of a social cancer, voracious in her might with the grace of a dancer. Tearing into flesh gnashed her teeth on my bones. I relive the pain because it feels like home. She could never love me more than I needed her. I wouldn't call it love in so many words. I knew that there were others but I left it alone. Till one day I arrived and the others were home. I don't believe in anything that I cant see. I don't belong to a world gone so damn wrong. The most important thing is a moral existence. Dictating his words from the bed of a mistress. No one wants to help just to be in control. Eternal life, is heroin for the soul. You see the moral right covers up the distinction that men are tuning profit bringing on our extinction. Clouding up the earth with opinion and smoke. If you cant rise above it you deserve to choke.
