Like new wine in an old bottle
A built engine with no throttle
I'm a switchboard with no toggles

Black Clouds

All around me, things are crumbling
I don't know what to do
Black clouds of pain so troubling
And no light is shining through

I ask myself, why me, lord?
How have I angered you?
Too many days I've felt ignored
These black clouds will pursue

My luck is always self made
I've yet more die to cast
I live this life beneath the shade
More black clouds have amassed

My future's looking unclear
I hate myself so much
I wish they would just disappear
..But that wouldn't leave me much..

Today I came close to being another echo
Never really cared, gotta lose this fuckin ego
Always fun to hoard, but I find it hard to let go
Shelf life decade past, my peaks just another plateau

Hello old friend
We meet again
Will you keep me awake
And lead me to the end?
You trick me as always
These dastardly lies
Making only more problems
As my soul slowly dies
Inhaling euphoria
Exhaling existence
Never getting me closer
Never closing the distance
Never pushing me further
Only making resistance
Killing all that was me
My heart gone in an instant

Have you ever looked around?

Up in the sky, within the ground?

Between the silence, and the sound?

In hopes the missing can be found?

The thing we should have been
The thing we have become
Or lack thereof, to not begin
Hell reigning from above

Never more, we nary went
Into this dark abyss
A shell of what we could have been
Is now the thing I miss

Flip a coin, pick a side
Some go left, some go right
Choose a mask, wear it tight
Which is dark, which is light?

Roll the dice, let it ride
Doesn't matter, pick a side
Be it ego, be it pride
When facts are feelings
And feelings lie

A moment of silence

I thought of you today
And all the memories we had
The times you made me happier
On days that I was sad

I thought of you today
And the times you nudged me on
You picked me up when I was down
And when I felt withdrawn

I thought of you today
And I got out all your things
The letters, clothes, and photographs
A pair of your earrings

I thought of you today
And today it hurt the most
Wondering if you're in heaven
Or wether you're a ghost

I thought of you today
And I smiled ear to ear
I heard you laugh, through a photograph
As smiles turned to tears

I thought of you today
And remember what you've taught
To love myself, my family
And be happy with what I've got
