                                        "X-Ray Visions"
 

Alien deception
Watching over us
On the silk road
 
Savvy performers
Indeed the stars are out
 
Buffalo buzz
About some kind of
Future
Something in our skies
 
A staircase to
A house of cards
 
Fantastic lessons
Adventures of a lifetime
Learned
On scientific parachutes
 
Sarcastic needles
Change your mind
Under the influence
It's closing time
 
X-Ray visions
Too wasted to perform
The veil
Amazing
They Live
Obey
 
Running away
From lava lamp workshops
In stolen shades and
Tattered boots
Tell me something
I don't already know
 
Here
Put these on

                                           "A.S.A.P."
 

A festering latrine
Of septic
Money hungry
Warmonger ideology
 
Old pagan psychology
Behind an eternal tapestry
Portals in
New thinning dreams
Behind hazy mirrored
Politics
 
Sunday change brings the
Red right hand
Ready to push
Its handle down
 
The ugly side of
Forgotten wars
Spawning forlorn
Lovers
 
Independently happy
Comfortably numb
Young robots
Dancing to a perfect
End
 
Yielding broken weapons
With bruised knuckles
Smiling faces and
The weight of the
World
Upon weary shoulders
 
Singing silent symphonies
Screaming loudly about
Bittersweet mindsets
Just black market undertones
That meander in one ear
Out the other unheard
 
An entire planet
In need of a revolution
The system is broken
It needs to be flushed
As Soon As Possible

                               "Intently Sedated"
 

Starless skies
Producing numberless
Edens
 
Ghosts
Dangerousely unseen
When taunting the black kettle
Goes wrong
 
Hunger strike raids
Burn villages to the ground
 
Pinnacles fall
To pieces
Here
Amongst old cherry wine
Theories
 
Intently sedated
Gods
In controversial
Nightmares
Above the fruited
Plain
 
They came here to forget
Land of the
Neverending
Utopian facade
Drunk on codeine blues
Only to remember
Everything

                                              "Bleed"
 

​
Bleed out fears
As the light code
Brings morning dew
 
And heathens
Gone awol
Cracking dawn
Dance
On rings of Saturn
 
Suicide ashes
Blown away
In the diary of
A consumer
 
Balance & composure
Magnatized amnesia
All traits of
Burn the witch
Culture
 
Settled glaciers
Trying to crush the mighty
Diamond dogs
 
Fear not
The freakshow
Just
Bleed
