BEHIND THE SWALLOWING SHADOW
ENCASING WALLS OF GREY
LIES A PSYCHO LOGICAL DECAY
SO UNBEARABLE
THIS THOUGHT SO DEPRAVED
FOLDING IN ON MYSELF
TO THE IMAGERY
FOR ALL THE HATE
MY HEART STILL AWAITS
FOR ALL THE HATE
TO FIND MY EMBRACE

The Balance

From that moment
You were conceived
A battle to maintain
An equilibrium is
sustained Intuitively
A required response
Masked in false pretense
Clouded perspectives
And terrible ordeals
Too far in one direction
Will turn it against you
The hardest lessons to learn
Are the ones you already know
You cant help it
In the moment
The evil that lives within
Each and every one of us
Must be allowed to exist
if only so that the good in us
can know what it is
and how to prevail
Our line will continue on
Living against time

Is it wrong what I believe
Rationalized immorality
I wonder restlessly
About what might be
We've stopped looking up
For something to trust
But we need it desperately
Not to be found in humanity
Passed down for millennia
Mother to daughter
Father to son
A culture of inclusion
No matter how insane
We have mistook the
Sophic nature of
Our musings
And conflated them with
Our fear of the unknown

Time has had it's way with you
I see it in your face
Existence has you duped
Believing even without a trace
Are we such vile creatures
As to not possess a divine capacity?
You have not been given
Authority over me
My ego has been beaten
So much that there's no shame
Nothing can hold me back
Meditation helped me
I discovered the secret
To my own rule
A rule you can bend and twist
A rule you can put to your own ends
No rule should be
The only message you send
Don't try to put your life
Ahead of me my friend

I'm trying to work out something here
A thing that leaves me gripped with fear
I'm struggling to acknowledge
The dark distortion
The pain contorts my heart
I lost the brightened path ahead
In the glare of friends gone dead
Eventually we'll all be
A forgotten story
A distant memory
A shamanistic heralding
A choral voice of one singing
I must stop and hear them
Responding to all
My sick repulsive thoughts
I'm trying to work out something here
The thing that drowns me in my tears
My friends you've left me down here
Wondering more and
Every day is dark

You don't need to give away all your love for me
But I'm moving faster through potentiality
In time you'll know where I've gone to be
Did you ever wonder why I spoke of harmony
Am i guilty of holding you too close to me
I think there's a reason I've separated you from me
I can't linger any longer
No i can't linger any longer
It's a little bit complicated
Being alone no where to call home
It might be a little hard to take it
After I've gone and left you alone
I can't control the things on which we both agree
But I have some measure of response ability
There were times I strayed beyond your sight
Times when darkness swallowed up my night
I dream of the memories of paths before me
When I should have reached out for you
One path provides relief another only grief
A joy in understanding why I dream
I can't linger any longer
No I can linger any longer
I'm a little less complicated
Do I believe attempt to deceive
Is it really so hard to fake it
It's only a need an old man's conceit
