It's pulling apart at the seams
The openness of the sky
The nakedness of the trees
The nakedness of the trees
It is the reality I can not face with eyes open
Drenched in this chemical
A process that has become my burning left arm
I see the crosses, they comfort me
I see the crosses
When syringes tease me and leave their marks
Trails that I didn't want
But somehow I am stuck with them
But somehow I am stuck with them

healing stitches when i just want to lay in my bed
and be comforted by the delicate touch of insomnia
conjoined with this cancer
we are one
i beg the son to ease this
i bear the scars of this
but i will suffer this. to be closer to you
this test
artificial lights shine on me
before i breathe anesthesia
in my room, the lady in the radiator sings me songs
i ask her, if you sing to me, will you become human
answers escape through your fingertips
as you shut the door behind you
now we can live

Without worth and without meaning has what I have felt
Nothing to no one
I am a design flaw to the natural order of life
I am the dirt
I am the cancer walking through your soul
This war has been lost
I will not give in though
Not on my soul
I will not be broken down into dust
Into the coward whose life fell short
Overcoming the adversity
I am not a disease
I am not a tumor and I will not carry one any longer
I am not your sympathy
My strength is born
My heart alive
The air still blowing and my struggle's far from over
But i will sacrifice
For the greater good
For the sun that will rise tomorrow
For I will wake tomorrow
For tomorrow will come

I am slowly realizing that I am no one.
I feel as if my significance in others lives is all but gone (as if it was there.)
I always walked the path I felt with my heart.
I am nothing. I am a hypocrite. I am a liar.
The pressures of living
and the pressures of being alive
deteriorate (within myself i am laughing.)
I move in moments.
Moments.
Greater
than
you
or
I.
Time has shown to heal most everything.
But being plagued by the shells of old ghosts
has made me tired. I grow
tired of the prodding feeling of burying the insides of disease.
My faith stands. Brittle and cold.
The feeling of hearing my last breath exit my lungs
and the cries come from all who care so dearly.
I am sorry. My time is not now
but i have stolen the clock.
I have no desire to wind it again.
I pass through you like a ghost
with no beginning or with no ending.
I have seen the despair. I am despair.

I return to soil
Accept what has been given to me
Many suns and moons have given me time
I am at one with the light
I will stand among the earths spirits
Satellites carry me through air waves
My energy continuing to roam through
Cables and through mind
I am at one with the light
I will burn the antennas and be free

This is the testimony exhumed from my being.
She is the world. Feeling the soles of my feet lift in your presence
and my heart skipping not one but two beats when we kissed. My facade crumbles endearing pieces into an ocean
of lost emotion. Finding again what has brought me my inspiration. I call out, “Tonight we'll touch the stars. She
replied somewhat muffled by the waves, My love, I long to hold your hands. To feel your arms around my soul.
Thus we began.
Stood out amongst the crashing of water, a divine force reaches and grabs my arms. This is what we have waited
our lives for. Somewhat shaken by it all, her smile instantly heals the barrage of damage brought forth on me.
I am hers. I am her shield.
She is his saving grace. The blood that pumps through his heart.
Never has destiny revealed herself to me like it did that day.
To every piece, there is its match. To every sun there is its moon. To every soul, an angel.
You save my life.

Opium

High strung, strung out
The percs of being overdosed
And touching the fingertips of God
Pulling sockets of clay
Leave it alone....
Smile like she's got her hand in your pants
Filthy and beautiful are the children of God
I tell you not to lie
I tell you not to cheat
If that were a means to and end
Burning, yes, burning
The thought of sequencing truths
With the wilted lotus flowers
You can't even find yourself
You can't
Can't you see, it's growing, it's drifting
Smoke burning, smoke drifting
I etched your name onto every dream
And I rolled them into stones of opium
Oh Christ, I cannot sleep
I'm looking at, looking, I'm looking at the stars
I'm trying to connect pegasus together
Winged valiant, I connected you in my mind
I connected you in my mind
Oh Christ, I can't sleep
I can't
Sleep
Winged valiant
I assembled you in my mind
And these needles brought you life
Lights out, winged valiant
Please, take me far away
Just let the earth miss me
Oh lord, just let the earth just miss me
My soul, forgone and worthless
I can feel the pressing of sunlight
Into my fingernails
And I know this is where I'll be
Oh lord, I cannot cope......anymore.
