Instincts

It's everything I've ever felt like
distancing of all and despite
empathy of past and present
of chemical, untried, unweathered.
To try to stay a simple path
of honesty the perfect half.
Unconditioned, good, after all
but we are not as slaves
I am an animal.
Four eyes roll back to rest on
where our souls converge
and linger there.
A blast of heat, a crack and tear,
a wave of superheated air
to stop the motion
a single growing mass to cause
such tremendous slowing
is stationary in the way
but we are not of slaves
I am an animal.
Oh most heinous speck of doubt
original and sum surmount
the greatest work of kings and knaves
to which we are as slaves.
I am an animal.

Pastel emotion
masking the broken,
dressed up courageous
pause slow corrosion.
Amplified it will
move your skin don't be still,
sunny disposition
apply a force to turn a wheel.
She only wanted you
to put the patches between the stitches
stroke her ego, yeah and now look at this, it goes
You wanted to replace
and there is another solution
compress your contusion
amend your constitution go
Patterns to blend in,
colours to stand out.
Initiated,
you've got it planned out.
Exposure
Closure
She never needed you
to put the patches between the stitches
stroke her ego, yeah and now look at this, she said
You wanted to replace
but I have a better solution
compress your contusion
amend your constitution go

What was once so clear
the outline starts to blur,
a twist amongst the foam
inside my head,
as it starts to spill.
Were on your game tonight,
it didn't get you anywhere,
but that could mean
anything at all.
Don't know what to tell myself.
You might be the answer.
Can't seem to control myself.
You might be the answer.
To the question nobody asked you for your opinion here,
that time has passed.
They're closing all the doors,
got to get out,
you're wondering what for.
And now you'll take anything at all.

Olive Branch

What do you want
I think I want
but I couldn't dream to move.
It’s all to gain
I say again
but I couldn't dream to move.
I settle in
I settle in for another
sleepless night.
I could have let you
dig in deeper
and let your colour blanch
instead I thought it
more civil to
offer an olive branch.
And I know
the choice was good,
though it left me with these
things I wish I could.
If there was any other way
you know I would
but I made my choice and
the choice was good.
Thank you and
don't come back.

Warning
03:19
|

|
Standing at the edges of the earth.
Waiting to find what you think is worth breaking
into parts to make your play.
Changing everything that's in the way.
It's nothing like the warning.
It's nothing like the warning that you gave.
Turning pieces round to make them fit.
Twisting words until you make me quit.
Endings are the hardest things to start so
Excavate all the debris of the past.

Curtains drawn to hide the street.
It's peering eyes; I dare to sleep.
My restless dreams are undisturbed
by shadows that pass unperturbed.
Twisted limbs and covered faces.
A bonded thought like tangled laces.
Their many tongues, a single voice,
devoid of individual choice.
They will part like flesh to the blade
when push to shove sees them unmade.
Yet should you wake,
or should you stir.
They will remember where you were.
Could it be you want so bad
Safety like you've never had
With life and death becoming child's play
You are right to be afraid.
Sure there's something in here,
you've heard that noise at least two times before.
As cautious investigation turns to concerning revelation.
Home feels a little less secure.
