L'homme Peint

Rolling back from my own grave
Not a doubt, a disbelief
Straight for the sun wishing left was right
Ignorance follows in ugly treads
Each a loss for the other
Drifting nigh in a charmed citadel
Step through the life of a mother
Weep into porcelain pools
Struck down by a painted man
With darkened hair
And a weathered kind of breath
You found a different way
Another kind of death
Each day, a new found curse
Held beneath your tangled wire
Each, and every kind of new found exit
How can you ever cope
Creeping, and flirting with never-ending progress
Can you stoop where you once stood
How can you even cope
Every night, you lie awake
Sheltered by a roof of silk
Striding by your bedside
Unseen and cloaked in white
As you pale
With the hounds on your heels
A cold shiver stings through your palms
Weep into porcelain pools
Birsting with stride
Clutching your soul at your side
Leave behind your cost and worth
Exit excess
The truth grays
Reeling and drowning

Commanding Light

How much can you afford to fold it down, twist it up, and rip it out
It's always just another set, another face
Just another sliding door to the same old place you can't justify
Leaving light
Swift side down and out
Signs blown out by the road
Gleaming over sons of old
Neon cracking through the asphalt, like a fucking leech
Drawn out, ripped down
It's always another affront
How much can you afford to fold it down, twist it up, and rip it out
It's always just another set, another face
Just another sliding door to the same old place you can't justify
Left out on the counter
Swift smoke and tipped ash
Rest down easy sink, into cracked leather
Sweat pools down and around your crooked brow
Feet up and eyes back
And your grave's creeping shadow
In a fire fight, with my own command
Never stopping, how can I lift a finger
When I can't look away

Glistening silver, once covered in ink
Bear down, crouching over
With molten hands
Reeling, lurching, towards the iron gate
Gliding by, gearing towards an unseen light
Beneath the canopy, coated in ice
Knowing that we're filtered through windfalls of dust
She carves a path, weighted in silk
With an air like earth, wet with disdain
Heart like an eye, deep with remorse
Cowering beneath the gaze of a fallen god
Pushing crooked wisdom on deaf ears
Sunken down, beneath the trunk to the roots
Hard-headed, and thick skinned lies heavy
And withered earth, cracks the sky
Cracked and burned
We're filtered through windfalls of dust
She carves a path, weighted in silk
With an air like earth, wet with disdain
Heart like an eye, deep with remorse

You've gotta know a better way through the wake to find resolve
You'll be the best I've ever seen, ever known
It's all for the cause
Just walk through the gate and step away, never again
I've always known you've had a way with words, a peace of mind
If just for applause
You know you can't, can't walk away
You know you can't commit
Always thought that you were close, to second best
But you have always seemed to question why, that you were always left
How obtuse that you believed you were the only one
You know you can't, can't walk away
You can't commit
And you never thought that it would be, your only chance
That you'd always feel, feel the weight of us all
But you were, you're static
We've lost our ground, out of touch at a distant gaze
Dragging it up by the weight of sound
The hum of an open road, frozen breath, steady hands
And eyes wide
Without regret
I've known tried and true
Settle down, swing back by the wayside
Slip through that white picket fence
Down by the water
Where we used to play as kids
Crashing, clasping at the waves
Leaping through the bright, crisp air
Mouths wide
And hearts open
Kneel down, swing back by the wayside
I left myself by your door
Kneel down, swing back by the wayside
I left myself at your door

Wavering Waste

It's times like these, that pass you by
Drifting through your fragile hands
It's so real, that it's unnerving
Not even knowing
I've seen the long road, far from home
Knelt by the river, and felt the cold
I've seen desperation, sweat and fear
Felt the sound rip through me, for days on days
Intoxicated, drunk off the same old shit
Mad, for the sake of it
For indifference, for the sake of it
Assigned self-worth, as if it actually meant something
Dead-eyed, and scared
Walking down these empty halls
Running my hands down the rails
The creeping cold sinks in to hold
My last regrets, I've had and told
Sweep down beneath the folds
The creeping cold sinks in to hold

The churning tides will rip you under
Swirling beneath their massive crests
Majestically tragic, in your call to arms
Fighting with a double-edged sword
And not knowing which way to swing, which way to fall
You're sinking into the plot
That you sowed with your hands
Look over it
Seeing if there's time
Kneel over it
Knowing that there's space
Sink into it
But you'll last through it, as always
With the help from everyone
But with the foresight of a man in the ground
Leaving waste in your wake
Left to your children
A burden to all
Keep swinging
I can't believe that you find a way
To lay awake with the weight of the sun on your head
I'm so sick and tired of the same old shit
I've spent a lifetime forgetting it
Living in the shadow of doubt
And you will know by the creeping chill
That lights a fire in the dead of night
You've come and gone
You fell from the way
You tried to help
You couldn't wait
You're living with the same old fate
That you dealt that night
The churning tides will rip you under
Swirling beneath their massive crests
You know, you've gotta live with it
You know, you'll have deal with it
