wandering down the only road
and no one knows just where it goes
how did we get this far
heavy thoughts of misery
complicate simplicity
leviathans drown the spark
wandering down the only road
and no one knows just where it goes
I felt doomed from the start
wait until it all derails
when my halo will burn out again
can't you see its not easily
returned to how it used to be
how and how I forget
heavy thoughts of certainties
agitate anxieties
but who am I to persist
wandering down the only road
and time is killing me too slow
how did I get this far

Purusha

how long had I been dead
before my time came along
to hang my head out of bed
my god what is wrong
singing the same useless songs
silver silhouette in moonlight
can you help me stand and walk
to the tree of misery
can barely lift this axe
but surely its destined to fall
so what of all my principles
rendered obsolete and dim
purusha, anima
safety in my head
its time to widen the faults
now the nature of a breath
like water greets the shore
electrical, chemical
a neurons spark of light
just may open the door

Long Drive Short Life

a smokestack small town buried me
in brimstone fireworks divinity
a stranger pulled my hand to the riverside
baptized open eyes refracted light
tell me about the love on the other side
I'm floating like a ghost ship that has capsized
devil woman coming through the voodoo cane
takes a little love to drive a man insane
gave my days just to pay whats due
burned my hands praying through and through
a million men want their souls in cold hard cash
if you never start you never finish last
with a love full of bourbon and a gut full of coal
better make it here when the church bell tolls
carried a cigarette behind my ear
saving it for when the end is here
a dead man's soul coming through his eyes
twisting like a dead tree into the sky
the lines in his hands bled the bloom from his chest
for every day of work you just build the rest
lord how I'm shrinking in this darkened room
while a million fucking fools bring about my doom
with the songs of a martyr swinging heavenly swill
if the mind doesn't get me I know time still will

Halo of Vultures

hello love
hello dear
nothing you say
if you going to
keep me here
crack my sky
with a halo of vultures
crack my sky
with a halo of fire
open arms when the hellhounds come
baring lies in a backwards tongue
I'm the keeper of the words unsung
a shot in the sky says come back home
vultures wheel
claw to beak
wheel the sky
for atrophy
moon on the rise
falls into the sea
vultures wheel
claw to beak

Dead Start

broke down on the side of the road
said a million of us gone but we all gotta go
and some days begging like a dog
paint myself a silhouette in a synagogue
and its alright, everything is fine
its all some kind of rudimentry sign
and Eden in neon indigo
I am the revelation so I already know
said hey man where are you gonna go
few more hits and then you're ready for the show
Satan in a dusty overcoat talking to me
telling me i'll never die alone
redemption I cannot mention
never sully my head with the times
I spent knelt spilling mantic rhymes
blood loss, dead starts
