Rising Storm

Blood dripping from my fingers,
I try to play it all

A thousand thoughts unspoken,

I try to say them all

Don’t try to tell me stories,

I’ll rise before the fall

I am just a brick unbroken

Tryin’ to fit into this wall

I am just a face unknown, just a seed ingrown

Tryin’ to find myself, I’ve been up too long

I am gonna hold the light, I am gonna see the dawn

Maybe outta sight, you know I’ll come along

My life is almost over,

My end is around the bend

My life could never start up,

And yet it’s about to end

A thousand million faces,

Come crawling in my head

Wonder if I could die

With all these shadows in my head

I am just a face unknown, just a seed un-sown

Could never find myself, I’ve been up too long

I am gonna be the light, I am gonna guide you home

I may be outta sight; you know I’ll come along

I am the rising storm, I am the rising storm

I am the rising storm, I am the rising storm

Rat Race

Through the lost hours of life

Comes a hope for a star to rise

But smitten by their luring lies

You kill yourself from deep inside

Taking every single shit you hate

Spitting blood around the place

Some dicks may just call it fate

I say you’re a bitch in a fuckin’ rat-race

See within, just search inside

Keep the faith, enjoy the ride

No don’t dither, and don’t deny

It sure ain’t easy, at least its right

Someday a new day shall come

Someday past you will become

The realms of life will no longer be

Tangling you in a corporate slum

Freedom is not there to find

It’s something only martyrs find

What you kill is your own call

Don’t blame me if you fall.

Fire it Up

Ugly bitter memories are buried in your heart

Don’t have anywhere to go, don’t know where to start

The shadows of the past are darker than ever

Holding on is a challenge, take it now or never

Cleaning your trails of sorrow of all the wasted time

The truth is never spoken, but the ending is sublime

I wonder how it must be a life that is so shallow

I wonder if there is another pill that you can swallow

Living with yourself, must have been really tough

Soul so black and tainted and thoughts rusted and rough

Living in delusion, petrified to see the light

Running from reality, still wishing to survive

Screaming for attention these colors look all white

Searching for destination to hide your worthless lies

Or face it that you can never be guiltless ever again

And see what really lies beneath the ugly plastic skin

Drink some gas and fire it up,

The monster living inside

Burn the devil to death,

Even if it takes your life

Close the door and fire it up,

It’s what you really deserve

The time you have done is nothing my friend

….to what you should have served
