Malcontent

She gives birth and regrets
As soon as we breathe
When the sun sets
On our heads
She'll be relieved
She taught us to indulge
In our blinding hate
But still they judge
And still they judge
Our state
No way to fathom
Oh the strife
Oh the strife
We're dying from
How did we come to this?
Oh the life
Oh the life
That we've missed
No good in our intent
Our hearts oh so cold
We're malcontent
We're malcontent
Tired and old
Surrounded by the stench
Of our own decay
The fists we clench
The fists we clench
Have got nothing to say
No way to fathom
Oh the strife
Oh the strife
We're dying from
How did we come to this?
Oh the life
Oh the life
That we've missed
She chases and enslaves
Her children so black
And how she craves
Yet how she craves
For the day they're back
I've tried to erase
I've tried to impeach
The dreams I've chased
The dreams I've chased
Are out of reached
No way to fathom
Oh the strife
Oh the strife
We're dying from
How did we come to this?
Oh the life
Oh the life
That we've missed

The Cleft

Flip the coin
Watch me recoil
As it hits the soil
I'll take my cue
From you
Turn off the sun
You want to stun
Then jump the gun
I'll take my cue
From you
There's a million
Shades of grey
Words left to say
Keep to yourself
And remain deaf
I'll seek the cleft
I'll take my cue
From you
Foresee plights
Suffer in light
Of stillborn frights
I'll take my cue
From you
Clouds, a million
Drops of rain
But we'll remain
Bright vermillion
Days might explain
Why we'll remain
You can quake
At what's at stake
I will not shake
Won't take my cue
From you
You can quake
I'll stay awake
And for your own sake
Won't take my cue
from you

In Jest

How much longer can I hold
Before my head finally explodes?
I've been messing around for aeons
Feel the pressure in my chest
As time puts me to the test
My weakness is preyed on
This distress
Can't be suppressed
There's just no way out of this
My head's a mess
I'm restless
I just can't find peace
How many lies was I told
From people with a heart of gold?
What a grim portrayal
Many a true word is spoken in jest
And I have done my level best
To see beyond betrayal
This distress
Can't be suppressed
There's just no way out of this
My head's a mess
I'm restless
I just can't find peace

In every move I'll ever make
And every chance I'll ever take
You'll find a bit of your mistakes
And all those times you kept silent
Behind the hand you sometimes lent
I wish I knew what you meant
I do not sing a song of blame
I'm trying to chase the bloody crane
That's pecking at my brain
For there cannot be hate in a child
Who just cannot do shit but cry
Over the race of time
Time has
Crucified me, it stretched my arms
A hundred, no, a thousand miles
Apart, and who do I die
For?
Oh childhood, come and never go
The way you did 12 years ago
This time we could take it slow.
Sit on this swing and let me push
Your back and sing you songs and brush
Your hair before we both get crushed
Time has
Crucified me, it stretched my arms
A thousand, no, a million miles apart
And who did I die
for?
You've cut my strings and clipped my wings
You've sewn my eyes after you'd seen
The hell you've put me in
