I Can't Sleep

I can’t sleep
Even though I’m tired
I can’t sleep
Brain deprived and wired
I can’t sleep
Shooting through it's nerve
Keeping from drifting
No dreams, no dreams
Ever lessening the stage of sane
Just stop please, stop
I can’t sleep
Layered days toppling in the dark light
I can’t sleep
Dirty skin stacked glistening
I can’t sleep
Shooting through minutes of fake peace
I can’t sleep
Lasting rest swimming away
No time felt
Only winded persona
Stuck down in trembling static
Noose hung with intended fear
I can’t sleep

Pain

I'm in so much pain, can't you feel it
Oozing from my bones, can't you see it
Over twenty years, I can hardly think
Sleepless nights, no appetite, chronic torment
One wrong step and I'm down for weeks
Not even able to touch my toes, and no way can I sleep
Insomnia tells pain to come out and play
Holding hands, and watching the night turn into day
Pain!
Pain!
Pain!
Pain!
Pain!
Pain!
Pain!
So long you have been with me
Stopping what i wanna do, and all that i can be
My spine has almost given up
I fight back, and punch pains smug fucking look
Do all i can, by myself
Way too early, to be put on the shelf
You won't win in the end
Determination and my body will mend, from all this pain
All this pain
From all this pain
All this pain
From all this pain
All this pain
All this pain
All this pain

Broken Waves

Heroin in the arm it drips & it bleeds
Feeding paranoia & feeding your disease
The needle in the arm it shows & it's bare
Gone on so long with no damn care
Track marks fill your arms, thin your veins
Backlash thrown causes family strain
We're trying to help you brother, we're trying to help you son
Spat back in our face like a fully loaded gun
Questions turn to questions, what can be done
Scratch your plans, no future fun
Hit and pinned against the wall
Grabbing anything to hit back with your all
Locked away to escape the pain
From paced steps and eyes insane
Hours pass until you reappear
Fists clenched, hateful snears
Addict
Addict
Addict
Addict
Addict
Addict
Addict, you're an addict
Chased with glazed eyes, nothing to say
Years it's been lived in this horrid way
Where items go missing that cause a shine
Get what you want from all that has mine
Fix is the only action you want to do
No sight of what is right in front of you
This is your life for many years
Lies, deceit & flowing fears
Addict, you're an addict
Addict, you're an addict
Addict, you're an addict
Addict, you're an addict
Addict, you're an addict
Addict, you're an addict
Addict, you're an addict
Addict, you're an addict
Addict, you're an addict
Addict, you're an addict
Addict, you're an addict
Addict, you're an addict

Wide
03:25
|

|
Where does the hole stop
When it begins to open
Getting wider each minute
Until it swallows you whole
Scratch at the sides to escape
Clawing to see light again
Searching for the sun to shine
To burn away you damned soul
The steps of anguish
Climbing to the room of regret
Where the wallpaper peels away
Showing mould underneath
Cracking bones on your feet
Noise echoing ever more
Reverberating endlessly reminding you
To never sink beneath

Change
07:08
|

|
The staring
The shouting
The spitting
The hitting
Change is what I need
Change is what I need
Change is what I need
And you won’t stop me
The taunting
The pointing
The joking
The laughing
Change is what we need
Change is what we need
Change is what we need
And you won't stop us
The names
The lies
The murders
The scars

Whistling To Myself
07:21
|

I could walk into the sands
Never coming back again
Seeing all eyes look at me
Which ones do I refrain
Strange speech take comfort away
Leave minds silently weak
Distance grows larger each day
Where words are hard to speak
Tell a story of a past
Where rules have no name
Nails scratching at the walls
Sliced on a broken frame
The blood spills down on the floor
Seeing reflections lost
Rippling away where visions can't see
My life would be the only cost
Walking, I'm walking
In the field of echoed sleep
Walking, I'm walking
Resting on feathered keep
I could die a thousand times
And be forgotten in every brain
Where no syllables utter me
My body has no remains
An urge that's fought too much
The chance to disappear
Away from the loneliness
Rotten sadness and tears
Walking, I'm walking
Shadows fighting for my eyes
Walking, I'm walking
In the valley where darkness lies
But I know I shouldn't give up
There's so much more to be
Stopping now would crush the chapel
Of my own destiny
The structure would be lost
To the sands of time
Lessened to only thoughts of others
And tears not mine
Walking, I'm walking
To where I want to be
Walking, I'm walking
With hands clutching at me
Walking, I'm walking
Being there all the while
Walking, I'm walking
Among the flesh heap of smiles

Tomorrow Is Better
03:05
|

|
As I lay here bare
Naked to the eye
Thoughts swirling around me
Spoon fed like a fl
An ocular mist turns into a flow
With no message to what it means
Flash of past, present & future
Rushing like a stream
It could be what’s happened
So many items unpacked
Thrown around like jigsaw pieces
Too many to put back
But I think for a moment on
What has, is & will be
Where my body & mind can go
When I let them float free
I see where I am now
Where I can go
Where I have been
What I can show
Press on forward
Into the abyssed fray
Tomorrow brings fresh tasks
It’s a new day

Tunnel
07:39
|
|||
|
Shadows locking me in
No view from my own eyes
Blocked from seeing things
Red taped, pushed aside
Pointed in paths not mine
Among them I'm told to be
Only told to walk the line
That yearned person not me
Say and do what you are told
Pushing back I tell them so
To fit the social mould
I'm my own person and say no
no
no
NO!
As the sides close in
Doubting yourself to move on with your life
Shaken breath rattles your sins
At the behest of strangers delight
Crack the sides that engulf you
Break those shackles keeping you still
Get out, shine your own light
Emanating your own free will
I've been living in a tunnel
All of my life
I can see those sequences
That are not mine
I've been living in a tunnel
All of my life
I can see those sequences
That are not mine
I've been living in a tunnel
All of my life
No more wear on my shell
I am free from this hell
I've been living in a tunnel
All of my life
No more wear on my shell
I am free from this hell
