The Source Of Depression

I truly thought I found the reason.
The core of the negative thought.
So, diving through oceans of feeling.
Towards the bottom rung of the distraught.
Barely surviving the fury of rapids.
Dodging torpedoes, I gaze through the sea.
Sinking through a crevice, I found it.
An unfamiliar portrait of me.

Boundless Ice

The thinking constructing this wretched tune.
Is the howling towards a shrouded moon.
As a bird soaring tender versus tarnished skies.

I cautiously ponder this boundless ice.
This frost assembled within my heart.
Emotions develop, but never part.

A love, immortal, never was free.
Still hindered by the powers that be.

Savior?

Sanctity is gone.
Purity is gone.
Our words fall deaf of you.
We swallowed your blood.
We raise your symbol.
We hold it high to your command.
Why have you left us?
Or were you ever really here?
Did you die for us or simply die?
Have you ever even lived?
Did you ascend to watch us suffer?
Does splendor sit back and laugh?

Bleeding Dawn

The broken sky, an ominous red.
Scorching the remains of the scattered dead.
A species tainted with endless stain.
Hope is descending as blighted rain.
The beast that unlatched armageddon's crest.
Was man's greed and desire for life after death.
Two faiths that opposed for their deity's might.
Destruction to all, their sacred right.

My Lord

Forgive me, my Lord.
As I part from this womb.
Forgive me, my Lord.
As I plunge into doom.

Forgive me, my Lord.
I'm ashamed of my birth.
Forgive me, my Lord.
Punish me with a curse.

Forgive me, my Lord.
I do promise to praise.
Forgive me, my Lord.
Hear me hail your name.

Forgive me, my Lord.
I won't attain what I've yearned.
Absolve me, my Lord.
Cleanse this sin of being born.

Confidence

When my pleasant dream erodes.

And every heart has turned to stone.

My shout turned whisper is then drowned.

In the aimless, screaming crowd.

Now, I know you say I'm welcome.

But I feel as if I shouldn't stay.

For our gears do turn in contrast.

With no one else but us to blame.

Confidence is not inherent.

Nor as stable as it seems.

Sun And Moon

Your eyes glisten like the brightest stars.
On a clear-skied, radiant night.
And your soul glimmers with that grace as well.
Filling mine with delight.
Though many refuse to understand.
View us hand-in-hand with spite.
Calling out to the fools who bring us down:
We will absolve this plight.
May the sun illuminate our path.
May the moon fortify our peace.
We'll charge through black tunnels of wrath.
And emerge with a new sense of strength.

We The People

We the people.
Are not ones to trust.
We the people.
Turned diamonds to rust.
We the people.
Created our binds.
We the people are foolish and blind.
We the people.
Are bullies that shove.
We the people.
'The same-sex can't love! '
We the people.
With morals so worn.
We the people.
Will save the unborn!
We the people.
Raise cowardly minds.
We the people.
Commited the crime.
We the people.

Not For Them

Beware the surrounding beasts.
They'll consume you, remain descrete.
Luring you in with misleading lines.
No one will hear your pitiful cries.
Love never existed.
Not for them, never for them.
When you remember your origins, grand.
Their thorns will sever your hands.
And their arms will dig in your back.
Looking for treasures in your spine.
Something corruptible they can find.
All they found was the boiling blood.
Of the monster you have become.

Madhouse

Look into these mirrors.

What do you behold?

Just another travesty.

False empathy unfolds.

Don't expect misery to be inflicted.

Never see my piercing gaze.

You can't seem to comprehend.

I can see far past your face.
