The Slip

I hate what I’ve become
A hollow shell of a man
Wondering through day to day
Without purpose or direction
Everything I say is tainted
By my demons
I can feel their weight
Pulling me, trying to take me under
I can’t give in, I must resist
How can I, when my life
Doesn’t amount to shit?
I try to fight it
Most days I can hide it
These weathered eyes
Have seen so much
The more I struggle
The tighter the noose becomes
The heavier the chain
Around my feet
I long for a glimpse
Of what peace could be like
How can I escape this hell
That I’ve made for myself?
It’s so hard to say what’s on my mind, so I’ll let the pen do my
Talking.

Stuck! in my brain
Bad thoughts keep flowing in
Can't stop them though I try so hard
Realization-How did I get so dark?
GRIEF
PAIN
Perpetuated by my brain
Mind poisoning thoughts
Confusing dreams, making me sick
Wanting to scream
Pushing away those close to me
Overthinking everything
Love
Hate relationship bound by a cord
Thoughts making me feel...
RIPPED AND TORN

I know I'm going to Hell
Never claimed to be a saint
Never dressed my body in fine cloth
Scars on my hands
A roadmap, a reminder of who I really am
Flies make their home in my mouth
And locusts in my gut
I, I am deceit
I am empty offerings
Empty words are all I have
I wish I was heaven bound...
So I could live that perfect life
Like your bible says I should
Take my hand
Let me be your savior
I promise I'll always protect you
Let's seal this promise
With a fatal kiss

Reality TV?

Who’s ready to watch this show
Come to a close?
Who’s been waiting for the credits to roll and the curtain to drop?
Well I know I have...
I’ve seen so much
It’s amazing we still
Have our heads to think
One click of the channel
And we begin to sink
We tune in, switch on, drop out
Forgetting there’s a world
Beyond these 4 walls
It’s nothing but a constant
Brain dump, we’re dulled
And rounded off
And we all just want a vacation
From ourselves
That’s why we wrap ourselves
Up in that broadcast veil
We’re so dependent of what’s
Upon the screen, the shit we’re
Told we’re supposed to believe?
I just can’t accept these
Empty words at face value
When I know...
That there’s something off
With what he said
He gets up on stage
Cracks a smile, from beyond
The safety of his phone
He wages war!
And we can’t help but wonder
How much is fact or fiction?
Maybe he’s heaven sent?
The messiah?
While he’s shaking hands
With devils and snakes
From behind closed doors
They’ll decide our fate!

Voiceless victims of a crime
That they didn’t commit
Greed and apathy
The traits they exhibit
Caught up and corrupt
The force, they get their take
Committing carnal sins
Bleeds this city dry
Break lives of the innocent
Torch the evidence
Trails of bodies left in the wake
Just another no one to forsake
Serve and protect?-Who are they defending anymore?
Serve and protect?-A coward with a badge and a gun.
Serve and protect?-A bullet with their name on it.
The servant of justice
Sworn to uphold the law
Targets minorities to justify
Their self-righteous cause
It’s a world of corruption
Out there in these streets
Good souls twisted up
By the poison that they seek
Sirens sing out
Tales of the night
Oppressing the people
And trampling their rights
Power and wealth are
Up for grabs but there’s a war
Going on out there.

It's time to peel back that veil
Time to realize they sold you lies
You live in a fabricated fairytale
PUT YOUR FAITH IN THE TV SCREEN
We've programmed into obedience
Our lives are not our own
The master holds the leash
To keep you from...
Straying too far in the yard
When you push they push back
Harder and harder till' the choker begins to cinch
Can't teach old dogs young tricks
SUBSERVIENT OBEDIENT
Do what you're told
Be a good dog stay in line
Your master now holds the leash

Heave

Cold unforgiving
Chest heaving
Head caving
Memory fading
Temples pounding
Cold unforgiving
Chest heaving
Head caving
Memory fading
Knees, buried and bleeding
No rations remaining
Warm, giving hands
Reaching to save me from...
Drowning

Boiling Point

I must be losing it
Cause I’ve been pounding
My fists against the walls
Of my mind
Screaming out for help
But there’s no one left in sight
I’m just trying to make it
Through each day
But it’s so damn hard...
When I hide behind
Closed doors, like a mask
And I wear it everyday
With a vacant smile
Hoping no one asks
If I’m okay
And it feels like each day
Is moving closer to the end
It feels like I’m stuck in a loop
But the days keep passing by
I’d cry if I still had a reason
To feel and I feel
Like I’ve become a prisoner
In this house of mine!
I hope and I pray
That they never see me break
Under pressure
The contents are
Beginning to boil

They're not meant...
To be stored away
Prisoners of our own entertainment
Paraded around till' they're all used up
Can you see bodies piling in unmarked graves?
Global genocide embedded deep within our skin
Careless disregard for their lives
The laws of nature we've bent to our will
It's-only a matter of time
Before they'll make their move
It won't be a swift kill!
We've got years of sin to atone for
Their blood we can't wash off our hand's
Teeth filed down young stripped away
Rounded up to be put on display!
WE'RE TOO BUSY TEARING THEM APART
TO REALIZE THAT THEY'RE JUST LIKE US!
They're the ones who have no voice
No words can be heard
But their eyes tell their story
Woe and strife on their face
The gas comes pouring in
Choking but there's no relief
