Faded love torn from restless paper dream
A perfect lover turned perfect destroyer

Days of sun and water drift in sky blue slumber
Sleeping beauty wakens... her poison apple orchards

Wise heart, sharp eyes blinded through obsession
A phone voice invite attracting all she ever wants

Beauty... strange mind... her golden ratio
Soap eyes brain wash by a shower naked girl

Photos, grey cars, and heart wrenching window light
Mind games, "play sex", extracting all she ever wants

• An Antiphon Cure

Will sleep come this far
or have i drifted out too deep?
I seek an antiphon cure
to this plague of query

Can sleep reach this far
to assuage this agitation?
Captive by insomnia's hold
Circumvent the weary

Tranquil inundation
Wash over this anxious mind
Fill restless hollow dreams
so there's nothing left to find

Did sleep come this far
or just the hand of reverie?
Somnolence in oblivion
She promises answers

Sleep is way too far
Beyond the reach of out-stretched arms
I need an antiphon cure
to my plague of query

• Aurora Obscure

Fragments of light
The splinters are drifting away
Breaching of hull
Embracing the weak gravity

A single pixel on an endless screen
The static cast to the neon sky

Aurora obscure
Restless silicon dreams
The input dated, coded, and replicated
Aurora obscure

Illuminated in the techno-blur
Neuroelectronic scrawls

Absence of shape
The images flicker to life
Pulsing of waves
Distorted projections within

• Out There

I've tried to find you though the more I look the less I find
I can't stop thinking maybe you've moved on and left me behind
A glimpse of you would be a breath of life in this stagnant air
Can you see me? Are you even out there?

Just to touch you... just to feel you... just to reach inside
and wrap around your heart, posses your soul, and know your mind
I look into the eyes of a fading dream; I know her stare
Can you see me? Are you even out there?

• Reclamation

You are losing sight
Distant fading light
All that was denied
hurts the most inside

And would it start the healing
if you knew what you're feeling
To be yourself again

Slow the beating heart
Pull it all apart
Hope that you will find
what you had in mind

Actions sleep it seems
Restless broken dreams
All that was denied
hurts the most inside

Nothing seems to fit
Tear away at it
Hope that you will find
what you had in mind

• Singularity

I am the one, the only one
The strength that’s buried deep within
The only thing to pull you through
The blackened cloud that clings to you

I am the one, the hidden one
I lie here waiting patiently
Given the chance, I’ll overthrow
The sinking feeling you’ve come to know

I am the one phenomenon
The inner force beyond the known
The blinding sun for shadows cast
I am the drive and will to last

One time… one time and place collide
One dream… one dream to realize
One sound… one sound to fill the skies
One strength… one strength will now defy
One point… one point defines our lives
One sight… one sight to visualize
One self… one self, unique inside
One life… one life to set things right

• Undercurrent Undermine

undercurrent undermine
the ever shifting tide
deep within the darkest place to hide
undercurrent undermine
stirring deep inside
drifting in a poison for the mind

undercurrent undermine

undercurrent undermine
compelled yet unknown why
complacent in this all consuming lie
undercurrent undermine
the image burned inside
downward arrow to my own demise

undercurrent undermine
