That Which Cannot Be Named
In that moment all is finite
slick liquid mercury thick
all is still and ever moving
slowly slowly slowly slowly
crushing atoms birthing worlds
in your grasp, rome falls, over and over
floating, suspended, upon a single silver thread
flying silent, through worm holes, through ways, through that which cannot be named
creation bursts from stone, a million flowers through a million windows
growing, reaching, ascending toward the sun
burning burning burning, toward the sun
black liquid washes flushing through the city streets, pulsing
black liquid washes flushing through the city streets, pulsing pulsing
black liquid washes flushing through the city streets
pulsing pulsing pulsing pulsing pulsing pulsing pulsing
slipping under doors seeping through brick walls, slipping under doors seeping through brick walls
burning that which obstructed life
infinite galaxies inside your eyes
seeing all she severs all, time to start again
glass implosions, showering glittered heaven around our ears
finally, no more meaninglessness, finally, a day to make a difference
finally, a will, a way
black it strangles white, as red it strangles grey
and blue blue blue blue as far as your tiny eyes can take you
a fleck of life, it flitters through the haze, it screams out for its retribution, it severs the emptiness
it lives on love
and it becomes
hope.

INFINOVA
Through the darkness, distant drums
from the silence, she becomes
all empowered, all aligned, finally it is my time
through the darkness, distant drums
from the ashes, she becomes
all empowered, all aligned, finally it is my time
then you realise, your time is spent
inspiration no longer heaven sent
lets join the herd and just follow, follow
to face what could have been, what life was meant to mean
its a big fat pill, too hard to swallow, too hard to swallow
years decay becomes minutes
only midnight tells the truth and takes my hand, and slows me down
gonna help me find my religion, because im gonna make you gods
gonna help me find my religion, because im gonna make you gods
im gonna make you- gods
Whatcha gonna say, whatcha gonna do
when the liars come and they want to claim you?
Where you gonna go, are you gonna run
when the time it comes and the truth it calls you?
Everybody knows, everybody goes
To the deep dark pit its waiting for you
Or are you gonna stay, are you gonna say
that no matter what no body owns you?
Searching for the meaning in the madness
searching for the meaning
searching for the meaning in the madness crying for the tragedy, of the sadness
Whatcha gonna say, whatcha gonna do
when the liars come and they want to claim you?
Where you gonna go, are you gonna run
when the time it comes and the truth it calls you?
Everybody knows, everybody goes
To the deep dark pit its waiting for you
Or are you gonna stay, are you gonna say
that no matter what no body owns you?
Through the darkness, one succumbs
from the emptiness don't run
now devoured, come inside
lies and truth they will collide
Winking moonlight whispers secrets down from the ascending sky
midnight darkness comes again and saves the artist from his end
searching for the meaning in the madness crying for the tragedy, of the sadness...

Restless Tyrant
A sonnet you will never read
A feather you will never feel
A somebody you will never meet
A song that I will never hear, a song that I will never hear
And so I call upon the gods, to tally, tally up my odds
I can no longer call the shots
I am sinking out at sea, come all to wittness the decree
this restless tyrant called me
Only a star in mothers eyes
Only a master of my small domain
Writing this to save to file, oh so sorry for myself
I am no longer in denial, I am no longer in denial
And so I call upon the gods, To tally, tally up my odds
I can no longer call the shots
I am sinking out at sea, come all to wittness the decree
this restless tyrant called me
I think id rather lie in bed, hear the beauty in my head
than risk that imperfection
I think id rather lie in bed, hear the beauty in my head
than risk that imperfection, than feel that self rejection
i'd like to sit here frozen
until I reach perfection
until the planets align
and my voice cannot be heard
for the sound of oblivion
i'll look back and see
the chain perfection was for
the chain that it was for me
Forever I will dream
in black in red in white
the orchestra I lead tonight
because of me will never see the light
I call upon the gods, I call upon the gods, I call upon the gods
I call upon the gods, I call upon the gods, I call upon the gods!

Illiterate Lament
I am a bird sitting in its cage
I sometimes stare up at the sky
But mostly I can’t take the pain
And so I decorate my bars
I groom my feathers and pretend
I remember how to fly
To fly
I can’t read, I can’t write
God made me, for one thing
I need to sing till the oceans engulf me
Sing until the clouds crack
And Jesus comes back
And tells me that
I can’t read, I can’t write
God made me, for one thing
I am drowning in an endless sea
I am starving in a cave
But I can no longer scream
I have no sound
I meditate on the suffocating lack that I feel
I pretend that I can die
Can die
I can’t read, I can’t write
God made me, for one thing
I need to sing until the oceans engulf me
Sing until the clouds crack
And Jesus comes back
And tells me that
I can’t read, I can’t write
God made me, for one thing
Dreaming is all that is real
Everything else is society’s social sewage
That stops you from believing in what you deserve
That stops you from believing in what you deserve

Fistful of Violets
I see clearly through your haze
I am the mere mortal
Who will haunt you
And pursue you
Throughout all your days, throughout all your days
I am the one
Who will poster your face
All over this town, All over this place
I will climb the highest mountain
Just to look down upon you, Just to stare down around you
Can you hear my roar
That’s pouring
Outside from within
Oozing from my insides
Bursting from my heart
And for me and you
And you and me
This is always, always,
Always the hardest part
This is always. Always,
Always the hardest part
I am the mere mortal, Who will haunt you
And pursue you
Throughout all your days, Throughout all your days
Im gonna cut out the sun
so you know its begun
Im gonna call out your name
now you will feel my pain
Im gonna do it over and over and over
Im gonna do it over and over again
Im gonna do it over and over and over
Can you hear my roar
That’s pouring
Outside from within
Oozing from my insides
Bursting from my heart
And for me and you
And you and me
This is always, always,
Always the hardest part
This is always. Always,
Always the hardest part
I see clearly through your haze
I am the mere mortal
Who will haunt you
And pursue you
Throughout all your days, throughout all your days
I am the one
Who will poster your face
All over this town, All over this place
I will climb the highest mountain
Just to look down upon you, Just to stare down around you

SOUL DIVER
I gotta get out, somethings playing a joke on me
I'm trapped in a physical realm, obsessed with what I'd rather be
The pain is too real, I stare into the eyes of god
the truth too potent, the abyss too dark, too deep
I must succumb or perish, I must succumb or perish, I must succumb or perish
I must succumb or perish, I must succumb or perish
I must succumb come, I must succumb come
I gotta get out, somethings playing a joke on me
I'm trapped in a physical realm, obsessed with what I'd rather be
We weave a web of words, empty, hollow
we weave a web of words, empty, shallow
show me someone something - to follow
comfortable now, in hibernation, i wake, I breath, I close my eyes
tomorrow- will be- different
Now the thoughts are creeping, up the walls through the doors,
Now the thoughts are creeping, up the walls through the doors
No one can save you save you now
a dense tapestry of triviality, dense tapestry of triviality
I only find salvation, by giving you the hope I wish I had
The beauty of the art, as it eats you from the inside out
the stillness of the moment, when your passion makes you ill, but you continue still
how do you continue still?
And now a change is in the wind confusion cloaked and cunning
and now a change is in the wind you're on your way you're running
meaninglessness or- magnetic destiny?
Freedom in the realisation that without the struggle there is no reward
Freedom in the realisation that without the struggle there is no reward
Freedom in the realisation that without the struggle there is no reward
I gotta get out, somethings playing a joke on me
I'm trapped in a physical realm, obsessed with what I'd rather
face the darkness, staring down into the deep
shining light to every crack, every corner
be a fool or be a definer
Time to let go, time to trust the universe and its silent caress, and its silent caress

REAP
Release me, Release me, Release me, Release me
Rip my heart out now its time, Rip my heart out now its time
as wheat succumbs to the plough
like I have no option now,
its time I must avow-
this dark unfinished dream
too many days have been
whitled down and wished away
longing for night and cursing day,
my visions have become
a way to escape from
all I truly feel
is im waiting to become real----
Release me, Release me, Release me, Release me
Rip my heart out now its time, Rip my heart out now its time
I see an open door
where there are only walls
I hold within my hand
my key to the promised land
stare down into the deep
time has come now you weep
time to reap, time to reap, time to reap
I want to know I gave...
my all until the grave....
I see an open door
where there are only walls
I see an open door where there are only walls
I hold within my hand my key to the promised land
stare down into the deep, time has come and now you weep
time to reap, time to reap, time to reap
just like i found the grasp of a love that lasts
I know that I will be what the verse wishes of me
all I truly ever feel is that I am waiting to be real

Titanium & Lead
I need the slick, the thick, the black and the blue
I need the hard and glossy bring it back to you
I need the slick, the thick
the black and the blue
I need the hard and glossy bring it back to you
Titanium and lead, titanium and lead, titanium and lead, titanium and lead
No emotion left now, overriding elements
sow seeds of fear of death
stone cascades and fires rain
waters froze, disintegrate
bathing in in mercury, breath it in
bathing now in mercury lets begin, ah ah ah lets begin
Just let it bleed, the need
endless electric red
you want your soul eternal but it ain't in your head
just let it bleed, the need
endless electric red
you want your soul eternal but it ain't in your head
Titanium and lead, titanium and lead, titanium and lead, titanium and lead
I need the slick, the thick
the black and the blue
I need the hard and glossy bring it back you
I need the slick, the thick
the black and the blue
I need the hard and glossy bring it back you, I need the hard and glossy bring it back you
I am elemental
we are elemental
strip off the skin reveal within
strip off the skin reveal it all- within- within- within

The City in the Sea

The City in the Sea
Words by Edgar Allan Poe
(1809-1849)
Lo! Death has reared himself a throne.
In a strange city lying alone
Far down within the dim West,
Where the good and the bad and the worst and the best
Have gone to their eternal rest.
There shrines and palaces and towers
(Time-eaten towers that tremble not!)
Resemble nothing that is ours.
Around, by lifting winds forgot,
Resignedly beneath the sky
The melancholy waters lie.
No rays from the holy heaven come down
On the long night-time of that town;
But light from out the lurid sea
Streams up the turrets silently-
Gleams up the pinnacles far and free-
Up domes- up spires- up kingly halls-
Up fanes- up Babylon-like walls-
Up shadowy long-forgotten bowers
Of sculptured ivy and stone flowers-
Up many and many a marvellous shrine
Whose wreathed friezes intertwine
The viol, the violet, and the vine.
Resignedly beneath the sky.
The melancholy waters lie.
So blend the turrets and shadows there
That all seem pendulous in air,
While from a proud tower in the town.
Death looks gigantically down.
There open fanes and gaping graves. Yawn level with the luminous waves;
But not the riches there that lie.
In each idol's diamond eye-
Not the gaily-jewelled dead
Tempt the waters from their bed;
For no ripples curl, alas!
Along that wilderness of glass-
No swellings tell that winds may be.
Upon some far-off happier sea-
No heavings hint that winds have been.
On seas less hideously serene.
On seas less hideously serene.
But lo, a stir is in the air!
The wave- there is a movement there!
As if the towers had thrust aside,
In slightly sinking, the dull tide-
As if their tops had feebly given a void within the filmy Heaven.
The waves have now a redder glow-
The hours are breathing faint and low-
And when, amid no earthly moans,
Down, down that town shall settle hence,
Hell, rising from a thousand thrones,
Shall do it reverence.
Lo! Death has reared himself a throne.
In a strange city lying alone
Far down within the dim West,
Where the good and the bad and the worst and the best
Have gone to their eternal rest.
There shrines and palaces and towers
(Time-eaten towers that tremble not!)
Resemble nothing that is ours.
Around, by lifting winds forgot,
Resignedly beneath the sky
The melancholy waters lie.
No rays from the holy heaven come down
On the long night-time of that town;
But light from out the lurid sea
Streams up the turrets silently-
Gleams up the pinnacles far and free-
Up domes- up spires- up kingly halls-
Up fanes- up Babylon-like walls-
Up shadowy long-forgotten bowers
Of sculptured ivy and stone flowers-
Up many and many a marvellous shrine
Whose wreathed friezes intertwine
The viol, the violet, and the vine.

Once
Once a game called life was played
where all fears of why were shed,
along the path i lost my way
conflicting “truths” led me astray
Crimeless, guiltless, as newborn
now doubtful, jaded, travel-worn
like begging night to bring the day
I keep my soul locked away
I keep my soul locked away
saw the pain I cant deny,
saw them starve I heard them cry
why do I get to be free?
throw me out and weep for me
my salvation I can see,
help others and ease a fear
lock my heart up out of sight
ease the voices of the night
I keep my soul locked away
I keep my soul locked away
Once a game called life was played
where all fears of why were shed,
along the path i lost my way
conflicting “truths” led me astray,
crimeless, guiltless, as newborn, now
doubtful, jaded, travel-worn....
now I promise stick around
While the howls from hell resound
Follow now a distant drum
Little one and find thee home
I will stay and guard the ground
While the devil goes his round

THE GLITTER LENS
Lurking in a silent hell
Where normal people do not dwell
life is one unbearable pause.
Trust the glossy super stars,
seemingly yield such great powers,
keeping watch from gucci towers,
idols take the pain away
save our dreams for another day.
The darkest hour we confess
a yearning for gods caress
moment there is nothingness
Nothing save the fears that brood
Over the artists solitude.
Ah, she will push my faith to its knees
show the truth amid the sleaze
queen that heals our doubt disease
Ah, not by chance is passion driven
her material world a Heaven
all need a leader to believe in
Behind the glitter lens that lies
bedazzles billions, changes lives.
After the giddy scream and wave and weep
for she ignites a flame, the fame
worship her meaning
till their persecution finally stops.
time to let go, time to let go,
time, time, time, time
in the midst of all we pray
be a part of earths ballet.
The darkest hour we confess
yearning for our gods caress
moment there is nothingness
Nothing save the fears that brood
Over the artists solitude.
Ah, she will push my faith to its knees
show the truth amid the sleaze
queen that heals our doubt disease
Ah, not by chance is passion driven
her material world a Heaven
need a leader to believe in
Behind the glitter lense that lies
bedazzles billions and chan-ges lives.
After the giddy scream and wave
and weep for she ignites a flame
The fame, worship her meaning
till their persecution finally stops.
I weep for within I face my ends
a flash of what I could be suspends
reinvent what it means to excel
teach the people to rebel.
travel to our distant shores,
staring up beyond stars,
Gives gatification for hours,
Watching o' her precious flowers,
all negativity gives way
the lonesome travellers
become a bouquet.
We all need a bold angel with finesse
need her eccentricity
to push us, progress
now because of you I can express
within our artists' solitude
the dreams I bear they shine, renewed
the dreams I bear they shine, renewed
thankyou...
Ah, by no wind may I cross those seas
that seperate my future from me
to touch my face as I succeed
Ah, ah, ah
only blind trust which is hidden
by no one atonement given
to reject the calling is forbidden

Seas Black
A deep breath of a dark city
a hesitant step forward, into the mist of the future
A clenched fist and a slowly opening eye
first we come, we stay and then we die
first we come stay and then we, die
The rapture, the flame
will it be the same again
The rapture, the flame
will it be the same again
Lets cross the great divide, ill show you what it means to live
to know that one day I, will die
my heart, my soul, this light inside
I will always be, a soft sigh
speckled silver filament
kissing every corner
folding into god like forms
disintegrate, to become sky
disintegrate, to become sky
The rapture, the flame
will it be the same again
The rapture, the flame
will it be the same again
Lets cross the great divide, ill show you what it means to live
to know that one day I, will die
my heart, my soul, this light inside
I will always be, a soft sigh
Lets cross the great divide, ill show you what it means to live
to know that one day I, will die
my heart, my soul, this light inside
I will always be, a soft sigh...
