the machine im forced to be
used to be human
before servos & circuitry
my programming online
leaving emotions behind
parts that could feel
tok too long to heal
what used to be mine
severed to streamline
eliminating philosophy
replace with efficiency
humanity...obsolete
soul...incomplete
organism...uncompatable
lust, love, hope, pain...
does not compute
Who was i?...
delete from memory
...activate cpu
soulless thing
called machine
circulating electricity
nothing left of me
a machine called apathy

39 Spines
03:58

I see your wings trying to take on the sky
I have to look away & I don’t know why
Maybe this life was never meant to be
So I’ll just clip your wings & make you die with me
39 spines are all I see
just a hardened shell surrounding me
39 spines reminding me
of what once was & now can never be
You poisoned my mind & devoured my soul
All you left behind is this fucking hole
I can’t believe that I let you in
I feel your disease on me like a skin
39 spines are all I see
Just a hardened shell surrounding me
39 spines reminding me
of what once was & now can never be
You played with my emotions & betrayed my trust
You left me alone here to die in the dust
Visions of your death are consuming me
I need your last breath to set me free
39 spines are all I see
Just a hardened shell surrounding me
39 spines reminding me
Of what once was & now can never be
I used to have a dream now I know it’s not real
Hate’s the only thing now that I can feel
Your throat crumbles in my hands as I take your life away
You thought you’d live forever but your dying today
39 spines are all I see
Just a hardened shell surrounding me
39 spines reminding me
Of what once was & now can never be

All For Me

Don't you let it go
Don't let it end like this
I just want to fuck you
One more time
Don't want to get to know
All I want is bliss
Don't give a shit
About making you mine
Easily manipulated
Easily Bent
Easily twisted
Easily Contorted
It was all for me
Don't you see?
It was all for me
I'm so god damn vain
Strip
Suck
Screw
Scrape
It all to me
Don't you let it go
Don't let it end like this
I want to fuck you
One more time
Don't give a shit
About making you mine
It was all for me
Can't you see?
It was all for me
I have no shame
It was all for me
Don't you see?
It was all for me
I'm so god damn vain
We're together again
For one more time

Solo screams
Lost in dreams
Tired of crawling with these broken wings
All I gave
Forgotten grave
Alone to face
Mistakes I made
I licked your wounds
I kissed your scars
We are more than we think we are
Lived, died, bled, cried
Distant lights that fade with time
Love is a tradgedy
Tears are a show
Flew up high
Fell down low
To die is human
To love is divine
I'm not falling
Not this time
Losing my soul & all control
Sitting here drowning in the undertow
Madness, sadness falling like rain
Taste like tears, feels like pain
Down, down, down again
Drown, drown, drown again
Too many times
Said my goodbyes
Fell to the ground
Kissed the sky
Swam with the sharks
Ate with the flies
Spoke the truth
While living a lie
No one to blame
Choke on the pain
Rose from the ashes
With only my name
Died every night
Woke up alive
To live, learn, crash, burn
So much to do, so much to give
Learned how to die
Before I knew how to live
Love that I bring, death that I sing
Pains of a god, life of a king
Down, down, down again
All I need is one more day
Fix it all
Take this away

Somewhere...Nowhere

solo sat there alone
thinking about everything she said
damn he thinks to himself. this starts to sound like
so many other days, but no one day is like any other
similar at best, but never exactly the same
lifes to chaotic
she had commented on the tattoo on his left arm
a moon from a forgotten planet
stars from a forgotten galaxy
so far away, so far away. he was amazed at just how far
he really was. jumping from star to star, galaxy to galaxy
he just keeps drifting, further & further from where
he once was. done so many things, been to so many places
so many experiences, he couldn’t possibly remember them all
lifetimes within a lifetime he says outloud, uncaring
who heard him
he was alone yet surrounded by people, creatures,
races from all over this world & beyond
who knows, maybe they feel like i do. he ponders quietly
i doubt it, he thinks to himself. & how could anyone?
no one has been to all the places i’ve been
seen all the things I’ve seen
i’m a spacer
special breed of human
destined & determined to explore the abysmal expanses of space,
the hollow depths of solitude
& eventually the empty places in ones own mind
all is quiet here. all is cold. another night. another flight
constantly moving yet always finding yourself in the same place
dwelling in the nameless dark between each star
surrounded by nothing...but memories
places i’ve been. people i’ve seen...& dreams of places i’ve yet to be
somewhere...somewhere...nowhere
lost in space. in a forgoten time. in a forgotten place
hanging. bleeding. dying
somewhere...nowhere

i shot her once
then i shot her twice
said fuck it & shot her again
I walked on over
picked a gunshot woulnd
& slid my dick right in
spread you open, see whats inside
i look deep, all i see are lies
trash, trash, trash, trash, trash
heavens trash is what we are
beautiful but viewed as bizarre
my life’s getting shorter
day by day, i’m delving deeper
with no hope left to save
breathe in, breathe out
breathe in, breathe out
breathe, breathe, breathe,breathe, breathe
breathe in, breathe out
breathe in, breathe out
breathe, breathe, breathe,breathe
red & black I will never come back
black & blue is how i left you
wounds easily opened
skin easily bruised
fuck it all, fuck it all
& most of all, fuck you
I was god before i met you
heavens trash is what we are
beautiful but viewed as bizarre
my life’s getting shorter
day by day, i’m delving deeper
with no hope left to save
breathe in, breathe out
breathe in, breathe out
breathe, breathe, breathe, breathe, breathe
breathe in, breathe out
breathe in, breathe out
breathe, breathe, breathe, breathe

lights they shine in my eyes
place upon their thin disquise
let me in, let it out
i am there within, without.
she’s the one with kaliedescope eyes
she’s the one with deadly thighs
she whispers promises
she whispers lies
free is what, what we are
pull me close, colliding stars
this is it, now it’s time
lick your wounds, drink your wine
break my heart just like a stone
i’m tired of suffering all alone
all my broken dreams come true
just like the one where I lose you
she’s the one with kaliedescope eyes
she’s the one with deadly thighs
she whisers promises
she whispers lies
i got lost in your eyes
believed all your lies
i still love you in my dreams
don’t ever reach for me again
she’s the one with kaleidescope eyes
she’s the one with deadly thighs
she whispers promises
she whispers lies
i am forever...it’s over my lover
i am forever...it’s over my lover
i am forever...it’s over my lover
i am forever...it;s over my lover
she’s the one with kaliedescope eyes
she’s the one with deadly thigs
she whispers promises
she whispers lies
i am forever...my lover
my lover...whispers lies

i miss her
like an old flame
like an ex lover
i miss her
& i fear i will never live inside her
i will never be intimate with her again
i always thought i would die in her arms
she seduced me & i loved her
she tested my strenghts
& i showed her my weaknesses
we melded together
we became one
she cloaked me in her mystery
& i wore her beauty upon my face
i was clothed in the skin of the underbelly
i lived in the entrails of the beast
i miss her
her ancient architecture
her dark past
the moss growing in between
the bricks in her streets
& her true beauty
which is seen only at night
between shadows
amid various states of inebreation

The Love That Binds

babylon at it’s best
the wicked never rest
here we are
in the valley of death
the bones & the past
all fade with time
nothing lasts
shadows cast
premonitions of the future
visions soon to pass
my skull is pounding
intuition is screaming at me
leave it all behind
more in life to find
the love that binds

Father...left me bare
Mother...smother me
Father...you weren’t there
I’m Alive
I’m Alive
I’m Alive
I’m Alive

I can’t wait to see you
just a moment
would mean everything
I still believe in the fantasy
that one day we’ll come together
& never have to leave
when I can’t hold you next to me
I cherish your memory
here i am
teetering on the edge of forever
breathlessly witnessing everything
i’ve lived lifetimes
a shooting star burning fiercely
living yet another life
that feels like a dream
i’ve been from one side
of the galaxy to the other
& i’ve found nothing
but space is cold
& love is everything
