Out, please

Is it me or are my demons getting the best of me
Never forget
Will it pass or am I alone
Just remember
I can feel it pulling
feel a life that's not my own
could I please enjoy my few breaths
shallow though they may be
Is it me or are my demons getting the best of me
Never forget
Will it pass or am I alone
Just remember
You're just as sad
please loathe
please loathe me
please loathe
please loathe me
loathe me
loathe for
loathe for there's hatred in my heart
please loathe
reject my shame I feel I fear to enter blissful numbness in my heart
have myself handed back to me
thoroughly abused
could I please enjoy my few breaths
shallow though they may be
save my demons, running away
perhaps I would just want out

Mirror, mirror

I’ve looked at you, I’ve seen nothing new everything just reflecting back at me.
I can’t escape this shine you cast off.
It’s me in my most true and terrible form
in my one form I now see this, this other.
I’ve always tried to outrun my new self, my other self.
Now that I’m constantly confronted with my fear, I who was always so proud so strong so unaware
will now meet my new ego,
in my sub conscience we look at each other and we size each other up
We talk we converse but all we say we both know.
Such a strong and fragile tension. We created it and we savour it, enjoy it.
Always together but always alone.
Mirror Mirror on the wall,
Who is the scariest of them all.
Is it me, who stands here, shaking
Every hour here, I’m breaking
All this time I see your face
Existing in this undefined space
You are neither here nor there
I won’t escape, I swear
We could smash it and break it, but it would never leave us it would never break us apart.
We are one. Always will and should be.
Mirror, mirror, mirror, mirror
Oh mirror, show me mirror
Myself I fear, I shiver
I won’t die, I’ll deliver
I’ve seen my face in the mirror
Mirror, mirror, face me mirror
I’ve seen the face of my mirror
Mirror, please deface my mirror
I walked around, I walked, WE walked.
Oh the miles we walked. There was a beach there was an ocean.
Oh I drowned you in it Oh I drowned you Oh I drowned you in my tears, my sorrow, my desperation,
devastation in the salt lakes, the salt lakes of my fear.
I never thought about you. All those miles we walked and never were we together.
(I want us to meet now for real
I need to meet you, NOW, to feel)
mirror mirror on the wall
who is the scariest of them all
I’ve built you up so high
It’s about time I shot you from my sky
I’ll reach through this rigid surface
Hope to see through this empty canvas
I’ll face this face in the mirror
It wears my face my (t)error

Breach

I've seen it stream
I've seen it flow
out
I beg you please
see me pleading
here
The hurt that hit me in my soul was
So untrue and unforgiving
The pill got bit
The pill that gave
venom
And now I've broken through my skin, seen through my true self
I've flown outside and shown my last colour
I've breathed in the fumes - of my lies - of your truths
I've bled my ink of life - in my lies - in your truths
Regurgitate myself - in your lies - in my truths
I'll bleed to stand another - of your tries - of my tries
Come back again
Come back again
come back to me
Come back now please
I need you to
Bleed for me
And now I've broken through my skin, seen through my true self
I've flown outside and shown my last colour

King and Child

And the king he spoke to me
On lives and worlds we'd agree
of sunsets that envied the living
and rainbows to be forgiven
We'd seen the hills roll out to war
a sight never seen before
The clouds that billow as smoke
overcast a forest of greying oak
I've seen the mountains so proudly
deafening silence so loudly
rain for rivers to flow
water to cleanse us so slow
lives in forest as vivid
as lives be intrepid
harmony in song and sound
voiced free, unbound
Kingdom will come
solace for some
rumbling below
tremble for
lives down beneath
life in the sky
the flying of angels
we'll never fly
stand in contentment/cover my eyes/loathing this world
Alone as life ignores us
The king and I in the forest
We'd forget the simple things
Of life among our beings
Kingdom will come
solace for some
rumbling below
Can you hear me crying
I stand here, standing here
We see this world
filled with dying children
The starving children around
Wait 'till they're dead to be found
Dying children for a world's decoration
Kingdom will come
solace for some
rumbling below
I've hated standing in rain
The pouring of pain
The wind that tears at the world
Children torn apart by cold

Haven

Doorways passed with light that fell
in sparking pools on the floor
I step lightly
weaving my way through endless corridors
chasing shadows of you
shades of a human I once knew to be
Weaving my way back home
to find I'm alone
weaving my way to the place
I will never find myself
And never ever stand to stare
to look, to observe
my watching felt so violent
were you ever mine?
'cause I scarcely believe
the things i felt , the things i've seen
the worlds we made, hand in hand
did you ever believe
did you ever catch me hiding
openly scared, running for cover
running to you and running from me
I was running to the edge
Weaving my way back home
To find I'm alone
Weaving my way to the place
I will never find myself
Let me be that victim
And safeguard me please
I can't do this alone
I need this hand to scoop me up, keep me safe
The crows are getting restless
I can't recall the sky was ever blue
I fear this, I'm scared
I won't do this alone
