In the Forests of Forever
08/29/2014
 
Something had been watching us, all of our lives
Inside the absence of our evaded eyes
We vanished within  our separate deaths together
And into the forests of forever
 
Beside us through time, others have always been riding
We are chosen for this, forever abiding
And we’re wearing old clothes made of black leather
In the forests of forever
 
Within the mouths of ghosts, beset in our paths  
I've been so cold, lost within various wraths
And when I said always, the gods said never
Here in the forests of forever

Fader
08/27/14

On sunken wings, we sail endless and forever
The scarlet leaves fall from the trees and cast no shadow
In halos, the rangers are back to devour
All that we held without the likeness of power

And there’s a face beneath this mid-summer’s moon
Shining down upon us, with the goddess in the pool
Glowing with the angels, swimming naked in the pool
haunted every hour by the hallowed ghoul

You've gone too far, through the deepest stars
We drive in our cars, and you disappear
Glowing with the dead floating in the pool
But I’m not just anyone’s fool
On carousels we leave the fear of death
Neither does man nor ghost in this world rest
But the angels shine down on me
Down on me from above

Follow Me Not into the Night
08/23/14
 
I must escape the vacuum of time
That pulls me down from the depths of the sky
I can feel the fur of the dying beast
I’m learning to bury the gory deceased
 
I can see her face shimmering in the face of the pool
Drawing me to her presence, with every ignorant fool
The fire in her eyes burns our heavenly descent
Will she ever be made whole again
 
Shall I devour shadows, or shall the shadows devour the light?
Follow me not into the night
You will wake in the serene the size of stars
And I will sleep in the ashes with the dead and the marred
 
And I know in my heart, this love will not last
But I’m glad to see you made it to the parties of my past
And there are so many things I’m ought to tell you
Many things I long to see and to do
 
I’ll give my heart to anyone now , anyone who’s bold
I’ll give my body to you that it may never grow old
There’s enough beauty in this world to make the ugly cry
This is what I have to give before we all die

I will protect you from the fear that is in the twilight

But I warn you, silent girl
Follow me not into the night

Impure
08/15/14
 
Do you see the ugliness in all things?
Are you broken and lost somewhere in time?
I can invent the works of impurity
Even though mine is the sign of immunity
They will pull you down from below

Seconds
08/05/2014
 
My child-like re-creation of romance
Brings to my soul a sensation of brokenness
For things of beauty aren’t made to last
And now that their gone,
I yearn to feel their hands
 
There’s something out there, waiting for you
I can see eyes gleaming, in the glow of the moon
I want to protect you, from this imminent doom
But the night is bizarre
and the light is consumed
 
From the unborn babes,
to the skeletons below,
I can see the clouds forming in the hands of ghosts
I can feel the hours growing longer and getting slower
As the ax is cutting the heads off scapegoats
 
I pray that love will save us,
Save us this shining night
And that there may be redemption for a failing light
Just as there is a pace for those who have no past
a single second may remain
That a memory might last
