Dust

Weighed down promises
Blood on my eyes
These dark rivers of the heart
Bleeding one more fake death
Plagiarism of the mind
I keep playing myself
Why can’t I cry real tears?
This world
Too many rules
No room to play
No room to be creative

The fuzz coming down on my backside
Stopping what I am and what I’ll never be
Keeping me held back
Preventing me
One day, all the new
One day, fine and dandy
Play and chance
One day when the rules disappear
I prey

And
No, not quite
But I watch your house every night
Watch the rooms
Watch the glow of the rooms
And your lights
I thought I was done with you a year ago
But not quite
I can’t help but rekindle my past
And the fuzz holds me back
Good for you

My morals, but what are they?
Earth glowing on moonlight palisade
The night my only friend at dark
When all the rest leave me
Or who I am
What they know of me
They know nothing
And don’t think I can’t live
For I do
Each and every one of you
In my very own way
The music ringing in my ears
Telling me what to do
And don’t get nervous if I follow you
It’s just what I do

And who will know when I reach my desire
Just watch the skies
I keep to myself
‘Till then and forever more
The same old memories
And burning floor
Like this dirty music
But meddle and pay
I ascertain everything
You have no secrets left
None of you
Ever wonder why I never ask questions of you?
I already know

Fragile and stiff
Like the rest
Expecting pain, expecting resist
You don’t know how to live
When did you start to die?
Me, I never have lived
Not until I beat the fuzz
Rip it apart, become what I am

Oh, Glorious chorus of the Choir!
Who can try to stop this
Your petty guns don’t even hurt my desire
You can’t prevent me from thinking
And until you can
I am your worst enemy
The time is right and necessary

I have seeped into your society
A mixed breed in a mix-less land
Can you not handle the irony
Or are you just not aware
I am not what you think
I am not abnormal
All work and no play
Makes for some interesting dreams
Oh, Glorious chant!
Such sweet verbosity
And if you can’t understand
At least heed my words
My gentle minions
When I wake up one day
With power over you
And this is what you all have wanted
Waited for, and become
You need me, as I need you
But trespass or hurt me
And become what is not

Leaves falling in the Spring
The world a twisted Heaven
Of heathens among men
And not even can I begin to understand them
Not even I
When they are so close, my brethren
And should you wonder why
And should you become me
Wait and listen to the silence
It has a lot to say

Solstice is man’s worst enemy
Public enemy number one
And tweedley-dee, my friends
And tweedley-dum
Because solstice is dead
Oh, yes, friends and neighbors
Everyone’s solstice is dead

Have you ever noticed that everyone’s words are barbed
Even your minister in your church
Invasion plans of the mind
Apocalypse of the silent
So tell me what is our fighting chance
Or do we even have one?
A deadshot answer
Chaotic and miserable
You have been helpless for too long
Why don’t you come inside
And see just how nice of a guy I am
Or are you blinded by my words?
Can’t you see the truth
Or what kind of failure are you?
No quarter, loss of everything
The things that matter most
And those that don’t
There are no more stories left
Except this last one
Where I tell you to come inside
I have taken the time to conclude
I have taken the time to become
And nurture my thoughts of you
Are you so keen as to try to pick apart my motives?
They are clean
Cleaner than a whistle, my friends
Cleaner than a whistle
Random and remote
No invasion plans here
Just salvation in me
Come and see
Leave and suffer the outside reality

I am not a savior
I don’t pretend to be the next Jesus Christ
I preach nothing
I herald no one’s words
I just coexist with you
Is that so bad?
If not, come on in
Inside this man, or what you see of me
Involved, inherit, incapacitated

Hurry before time passes you by
And you miss your once in a lifetime
Ticket to the abnorm
Away from this you know
This lifeless existence
And understand
Something a bit different
Not something new
Just something you’ve never seen
You see, what I know
Is inside you, too
You’ve just never discovered it
I am the pioneer
I am Lewis and Clark
Join the expedition
Join the crusade
The time is right and necessary
Together we will become something more
Enforced by a chaosphere of resistance
Stroked and buttered
But not unfulfilled
Or psychotic
Just
Normal
