“madness like focused seconds”

faces caught in the window

borrow these papers screening madness

focused to the past

drive faster and faster

reaching tomorrow

choose damage

choose introspections

shatter the voices beyond inscription

pushing value numb

push it past

push it through

a broken glass

burning dreams like faces

climb past the gates

Voices pressing me further through a world I can’t climb past the gates

Transpiring the ghost burning in my heart

Aching and damaged

Heartbeat…heartbreak…

Hearbeat….heartbreak…

Call through the tunnels decaying freedom ahead

Eyes stare through the violent tears

Walk towards the guidepost and they push past transpired dreams

When the sun damages every emotion aching to discard the future

Mistakes drowning through the turmoil 

To climb the stairs towards heaven but they tear me apart

Watching the flames burn deeper and deeper

Skin pricked with visions silenced by the fear in my eyes

To walk the streets before they pull me through faces traced with rage 

Drowning deeper and deeper

Conversations losing reality locked down through a voice

Breaking my pride apart

When everything feels wrong without you

To hear your voice shredding windows pushing me to escape

matchbook eyes (old lyrics)

people with matchbook eyes

can’t understand which way we tick

seven strikes on film

like the broken bird upon your chest

now I know

stumble through sober breaths

collapse those mirrors
