PLAYING THE NUMBERS
I’m playing the numbers. I add them up together without much thought. I never thought it would matter. I lay awake at night obsessed with existing. But there is something that I just can’t shake. I feel it hunting me around every corner, charging down every moment. It’s something ominous, something so hallow. It’s the coming end of a rope, but I refuse to fallow. I’m being dragged in. It’s pointless to wallow or sulk. But I can’t help myself! I don’t want to die. I want to live forever. It’s just a fact of life and I hate, I hate it. No it’s just no good. I fear the dark, I fear a concept. It pulls me back in to the only world I’ll ever know.

EVIL EYE
You never can tell no one that this has been you all of the time. Fight but it’s not a lie if it’s true. Smile, it’s spilling out, its spills out. When their all watching you. You feel their eyes. Burning a hole in you, Seems so bright on display. But you feel them push out from the inside. To know what I know now, I feel there is no turning back. It’s the only way from trouble. The only I calm my nerves. I heard a hidden voice. It told me from the inside. I heard it say, “You can’t stop now, do it anyway”. Call it anxious, call it what you want because I don’t care. I don’t care tonight. I’ll be what I am. I’ll be the one and only ghost under my skin. Tonight I put out the torch where control is just another word forever, forever on! Not guns shy, not gun shy.

HOUR HUNTER
This isn’t a tribute to you so don’t take it that way. So there is no need to flatter yourself. You’re just a coward, a nuisance really. You can’t have me. I quit on you. Here is my letter of resignation. I’ve changed out all of my blood. Now you’ve eaten all of my marrow. I’ve sacrificed so much just to feel like someone normal. But you give back nothing in return, you’re just so fucking selfish. Whipping me back to the brink and beating me to death. Oh no you don’t, not this time. Oh no you don’t, you can’t change me. Now I can sleep all through the night with a piece of mind that you can’t take away. I’ll always fight. I can’t mourn the days I don’t have anymore. Just stay away from me.

SWORD AND SICKLE
With eagle eyes I map my life out, carve out the sky on thousand times. I was put here put to clear a path. But I’ll leave this world the just theway that I came. Bite the seed. The only I’m given. All alone , bear my teeth with the life I’m living in the now. Breathe the air deep into my lungs with all I can. It may be my last. I just don’t know where. Where does the end come crashing in, turn in the ebb. The future is now. It’s all that I have. I’m finding my way. Only I can.
