Looking around I see this society of hypocrisy
we wake up in every day
consistently slipping on our dreams
we wake up in a bed of lies
Wandering around the streets
I need put on my disguise
Taking another sip of what we call freedom
if I'm so free why am I always held back
Always feeling like I'm under attack
my teachers always pushing me back
doctors trying to tell me I need Prozac
Because I'm reaching for something more
something that can't be found in a class room
Where I am known as the disturbance
cause I seek to shake the walls that surround us
rattling the cages we're all in

binding tight around a medium.

My heart is falling for all to see
My heart is falling away from me
Did you ever see me for who I am?
or did you stick an image in your head?
What did you have in mind for me?
Who did you want me to be?
There can't be any hope for me now
I've fallen away from your image
I'm starting to see

I'll never forget that day of hate
It got me questioning everything
When I learned of your fate
How could you be taken away so young,
I was Watching time tick by so slow
couldn't see how life's so fragile
realizing yours went out the window
we had taken it all for granted
Without notice, they could be gone
Never forget - the people around you.
Its sad but true, what's done is done.
Never forget and live with no regrets.
We all know its hard to move on
but you know you got to keep going.

Was it god that took you from me?
These questions without answers
Leaving me broken and cold
As I sit in my head, I'm taken back
years ago to a place that was never sad.
I saw you there by the ol' creek shack.
How we both wanted something we never had
Maybe it was the way of rays
and how the sunset hit your face.
Maybe it was just your gaze,
that had led me on that chase.

The Restraining Cradling of Sanity
I Feel the venom ripping your veins - casually
A crown of thorns stuck in your head - blasphemy
Thousand needles resting in your remains - agony
Fighting back the urges of malice for my fallacy - Callously
I'm checking my back at every moment panicking - Profanity
Sanity is feeling the dark remorse but I don't - cradling, restraining
Where the hell am I - And what have I done - enabling, exclaiming
Exclaiming enabling, the restraining cradling of sanity
Callously in agony committing blasphemy casually
Exclaiming enabling, the restraining cradling of sanity
Callously in agony commuting blasphemies casualties.

So I can see, can see the
people tearing you apart
Let me feel your heart beat
So I can feel, can feel the
death that will become us
"I can't breath when you..."
I feel the lungs of the world
gasping for every ounce of air
"...are blind to my pain"
we are the end of all
will be the watchers
of the fall...

By accident,
I found her tombstone.
It lay buried beneath snow,
encased in ice,
under a canopy of white held aloft by the trees.
I had been walking,
focusing,
as I often do,
on the clouds of steam rising from my mouth,
and what they meant to me,
when my foot caught hold of the crumbling cross,
and sent me tumbling down...
down...
down...
I caught myself on hands in a sea of crystal white,
flesh stinging from the cold,
my foot aching in pain,
burning hot in the winter wood.
Why would there be a grave here?
What poor soul would be forever lost in this hollow?

I've currently been investing most of my time in fishing up my apprenticeship in Carpentry as well as my two bands Coral bear and Aspendale both of which you can check out here.
My life as always has been going crazy! This is my attempt at becoming more of a part of this community. How do you all do it so well. lol
I've got so much on my plate. My brother just got out of prison again. Fingers Crossed he will do alright and become a part of society this time in a positive way. Just started my 2nd block of carpentry out in the middle of nowhere but luckily the instructors are amazing and actually care. This is basically taking up all my time which sad cause I just bought a 7 string guitar and a huge amp. Plus my friend and I started a little internet music collab. YEE YEE! As well, I will be in the midst of moving onc
