Liar, Liar

The words drip from your teeth like blood
The only thing I knew before the flood
Came and tore the world apart
A hollow needle filled with poison
Abcessed lungs that scream unceasing
Woes to all that raise their voice
But you stand
Raining despair
But you stand
And tremble
In the peculiar way the dead forget
How to breathe without collapsing
The restless way you leak regrets
And hide within your casket
Liar, liar
You call to me
Wanting nothing more than the days betrayed
Liar, liar
Untamed, unnamed
A statue on the floor holds the life you freely gave
The open door beyond your eyes
As smoke billows in frantic disguise
You watch
The beaten soul you gave to me
Pondering so gracelessly
The cost
The peculiar way the dead regret
All that came and all that went
The restless way you play with fire
And weep when it all burns down
Liar, liar
You're dead to me
As beating heart returns at last
And you can only fade away

I keep dreaming of you
Like there's anything left to dream about
And the spark between
Has sputtered out
Leaving the cold, leaving the doubt
You haunt me still
With vacant smile
As if you knew all the while
I was only in denial
Maybe one day it will all make sense
The colours all
Faded out
Leaking remnants of a heart
So I've tried to cover the cracks
And ignore the past
I keep thinking of you
Wondering where you are now
About the person you've become
And still it hurts so disproportionately
To the time spent in the sun
Maybe one day it will all make sense
The colours all
Faded out
Leaking remnants of a heart
So I've tried to cover the cracks
And ignore the past
The colours all
Faded out
As we grow further apart
So I've paled and railed against
The uncaring memories

Lucid
The water in your eyes
Reminds you of the dreams you loathe
Reflected in the cold
In the weight upon your soul
Breathe
Helpless
It spreads
Numb and isolated
Radiating through your bones
Never felt so alone
Like one already gone
Once again unknown
But here you are
Weeping tears
Made of fears
That never fall and shatter
Never really mattered
An afterthought of what's to come
Like one day you would see the sun
The lost hands attain their
Graceless dancing
Through the storm
Reaching out
For the spark
For the song
The hymn to which the world ignores
As the sky weeps its fears
And you dance into the ether
The lost hands attain their gracelessness
Wringing hope from patterns in the sand
You seek the answers in your hands
And rail against time's demands
Like the answers are trapped under your skin

Hands tied
Behind your backs
Waiting for another to crack
Speak out against the crowd
While the walls come tumbling down
Wake up and see
Open eyes in fevered dream
The only hands
The ties that bind
Heads buried in sand are fried
The sky will not save you from yourself
Hands tied
Lacking stress
Pleading mere emptiness
The will to fight, so in plight
Leaving the hourglass
The sky will not save you from yourself
Houses falling
Draped in green
Winds stirring the unclean
Houses falling
Draped in white
Surrender to uncaring plight
Look at your hands
Shaking in fear
The world is ending
and there's no-one to hear
The sky will not save you from yourself
Look at your hands
Lined with wisdom
Tracing the trails
Of constellations
The sky will not save you from yourself
The sky will not save you from yourself
