Witch’s Flower
I think I’ve been here before
Focus slips to the fire and dances with
The trees
Their shadows float around me
Are we under attack?
Forgive me, I wasn’t listening
Send me back to the beginning
On the count of three
Aim for the sky with intent
To clip the wings of our suffering
Fear! fire! foes!
Awake, awake
From far away, from far away
Later that night while we were sound asleep
Our demons revealed their tricks and they came for our dreams
With very tempting offers dipped in gold to sway us like
“You can spend forever with me, you won’t ever have to feel like this anymore”
Like poison on a sharp blade, it’s crippling when it cuts you
And no, it isn’t only skin deep, it’s paralyzing in the moment
Now I can’t feel my legs
I can’t feel my fingertips
My eyes are fixed on the shadows that dance around me
Alert the calvary!
Send me back to the beginning
On the count of three
Aim for the sky

Dreamscape
I feel alive
For this moment in time
Hold on tight, we fly by night as the city lights below us fade to insignificance
The skyline reaches down to guide us, a caress with the slightest touch
Snow falls to cover everything in sight and sound soon follows after
I feel alive if only
For this moment in time
With you here by my side
We fly by night
Leave all of our problems behind
My eyes keep shifting upwards I’m catching glances of your face through a break in the cycle
In the space between it all
My eyes flutter to a spiral shifting downwards
Suddenly I’m in the sky where I’ll spend time in this dreamscape we made
I can see the sun rising in the distance
How beautiful do you think it will be?
We fell so far from grace
How could we?
But before we could hit the ground
I suddenly wake from a breathless dream
What happened to you and me?
I can only remember the ending as it begins to fade

Is everything alright?
The night is growing colder
Staying safe, I hope so
Everything is in order
It’s almost midnight now
It’s a bit late to be wandering around, isn’t it?
Your head is lost in another world again
Correct me if I’m wrong
You needed an escape
But it’s bad luck to talk about that place
I never should have come here
I never should have
Is someone there?
I think I heard something down the hall
I guess it was nothing
I guess it was nothing
What do you need?
Could sure use a warm bed right about now
But if we’re being real
I need help
And I am always afraid
To simply ask for it
I isolated myself for far too long
The damage has been done
I just wanna be done
I miss the loved ones I left behind
To watch the skies as I travel beyond
Crossing borders to far away lands
All to escape myself
I learned lessons on how to be alone
Not where to go when I have gone to far

Salt & Rust
Streetlight above me burning holes into the evening
Illuminate my lack of sleep
Smoke rolls from my lips as I curse the very habit
Does that amount to nothing more than hypocrisy
It sure feels like it
And now I feel sick to my stomach the more I delve inwardly
I have unresolved afflictions buried deep
Sometimes I’m trapped in this dissociative state where I’m trapped in the same house
I’ve lived in for over four years now as I hopelessly watch all of my loved ones turn to leave me
I am unable to speak and every motion is slowed to infinity
At the same time my life begins and ceases to be
Yet I can almost grasp the imagery as it flows the voice of every I love you through the halls to echo
As if recorded and reproduced perfectly by every demon that’s ever wanted to hurt me
I can see them in the corners lurking
Speaking in tongues and whispering
As if I cannot read their lips to see through the spells that they are casting
Get the fuck away from me so I can think or fucking breathe
These walls are closing in on me
I don’t think I’ll get any sleep tonight for the third time this week
I feel so weak
Last night my demons told me I can’t tell anyone anything
I need to practice what I preach
Silence will be the death of me
I need to practice what I preach
For integrity
For my friends and family

A fog in the morning obstructs our view
The solitude is comforting
We can see everything we don’t want to be
When reflection is necessary
"Can you believe how hopeless we used to be?"
I’ll state confidently
“I’m still trying”
At times it still gets to me
And then I can’t see the future for what it could be
And then it’s clear to me my greatest enemy is myself
I’m still working on that
Come with me we’ll find new self worth tonight
For a moment let’s forget where we came from
So familiar on the tip of my tongue
May we learn to forgive ourselves for the mistakes we’ve made along the way
No sleep but we’re still dreaming
I can’t seem to let go of this feeling
No sleep but we’re still dreaming
I can’t seem to let go of this feeling
