Calvaria

I can’t figure it out, how the dogs sleep at night
There are ghosts roaming the corridors
They’re all making noise, calling out my name and rattling chains
Beneath my calvaria
I want to leave this room but
I can’t due to an overwhelming sense of delusion
All doors lead to the same thing,
The one with sharp teeth and an upside down cross on her forehead
These demons haunt me in my dreams
I think they love me, thats what they say

Where else could I be than standing by the sea?
I can feel the breeze in this artificial memory
A light hangs above my head
I feel a presence to my left
A pressure in my chest reminds me I’m not dead
Instantly the dusk became dawn
I’m standing naked on someones front lawn
No recollection of time or where I’ve been
An overwhelming sense I wouldn’t like it if I did
Tentacles inch toward me to study my anatomy
They press on my belly and enter my abdominal cavity
I inhale to scream but theres my air to breath
So I lay silently, a visceral harvest happening
Instantly the dusk became dawn
I’m standing naked on someones front lawn
No recollection of time or where I’ve been
An overwhelming sense I wouldn’t like it if I did

Streetlights

When we find that road thats been paved with gold
It’ll be dark by then, the streetlights are on by then
When we find that road that we’re not supposed to go down
It’ll be dark by then, the streetlights are on by then
Climbing up the fire escape
I remember, it was no my fault
In a childhood memory
I swear its eyes were looking at me
When we find that road thats been paved with gold
It’ll be dark by then, the streetlights are on by then
When we find that road that we’re not supposed to go down
It’ll be dark by then, the streetlights are on by then
Then the fire touched me back
The flames licked my face like they were a cat
But I could not feel the heat
An electric shock, and I began to breathe
When we find that road thats been paved with gold
It’ll be dark by then, the streetlights are on by then
When we find that road that we’re not supposed to go down
It’ll be dark by then, the streetlights are on by then

I miss my friends
Sometimes it feels like this pandemic will never end
So I sit by myself in my room feeling blue
Eating cornbread in quarantine
Oh my god I am so lonely
This feels like it might last forever
But I know thats just fear talking
When will this stop
A wave of negative thinking is overtaking my thoughts
Maybe I’ll smash my face through the wall
Maybe not
Eating cornbread in quarantine
Theres a hole where my mind should be
My mental stability begins to suffer
When every day is the same as all the others
Eating cornbread in quarantine
With a bowl of chicken chili
Fit a fistful into mouth
Then I’ll go and lay on the couch
I remain locked away
Going insane

Parasites

I can hear the siren sounding
Yet fog still surrounds me
The forest never seemed so nervous
The trees are feeding off of me
I don’t know if I can make myself believe
In a change without a peaceful guarantee
Just one glance and its all over
Society crumbling
Millenia hiding in the shadows
From other sentient beings
I am you and you are me and we are one
Despite the self-aggrandizing aspect of religion
Intangible forces working beneath the surface
My energy a byproduct of my consciousness
Propagating through the ether of space and time
Every synapse just another biological satellite
Oh no, you’re not alone
Knowledge has grown but spirit is null
There’s no turning back
You must transcend
I have no faith in the human race
There’s no turning back
You must transcend
Oh no, you’re not alone
There are no gods now
There are no gods now to fear
Humankind cannot be trusted, wisdom is fleeting
Violent cognitive behavior with limited reasoning
Parasites with nuclear weapons and free will
If discovered then they all will be killed

Just another dream stuck in between the blink of an eye
Sinking farther into the sleepless deep and I am paralyzed
Fortunte to finally free myself from forward moving time
Now I must depart into the eternal void of afterlife
Push back my chair as everyone stares, I’m nervous
Overwhelmingly tired and suddenly nauseous
All I wanted was a night out at my favorite bar and grill
Blood pressure dropping
Heart rate increasing
Fall to the floor with agonal breathing
I feel god in this Chili’s tonight

Tac

Looked behind the couch
Looked under the table
Where oh where have you gone?
I hope I find you
All the right things that I couldn’t say because I didn’t
Looked behind the garden gnomes
Looked in the tree house
Where oh where have you gone?
I hope I find you
All the right things that I couldn’t say because I didn’t
So I look around you’re nowhere to be found
I’m still trying to get your dead skin cells off the ground
The new residents are looking quite confused
I think they’ve figured that they’re replacing you

Death by Dragon Fire

Death by dragon fire to all those who conspire
I want to hear them scream, “All hail the Dragon King!”
Every soldier in your army will die if they try
Not even one will return to their family alive
They’ll scream as they burn and they’ll burn as they scream at the sky,
“Why did I try to fight a dragon?!”
No one will survive
Your eyeballs will melt and your flesh will burst into white flame
Every attempt at combat is defiled and deranged
Listen to those who influence you most when they say,
“You’ll die if you try to fight a dragon”
No one will survive
Death by dragon fire to all those who conspire
I want to hear them scream, “All hail the Dragon King!”
So you’ve challenged me to a dragon battle
I’ll disembowel you and feed you your own intestines
Then open my jaws and spit fire at you
Now you are nothing more than a pile of ashes
And bits of bone in a puddle of boiling blood
Everyone will die…
Death by dragon fire to all those who conspire
I want to hear them scream, “All hail the Dragon King!”
