Forest

They whispered
Sinister
Leaves across our street weave
Into crisp sounds of a whimper
Green veins on hidden blades emanate
From dim street lights
Our wires frayed
The night flickers

The most dangerous of thoughts
Are always man made
Gunpowder, religious crusades, propaganda, slaves
Such power an insidious lingua franca
Against words we can't say
As they encircle their prey
Thermopylae betrayed
Frankly I'm naked and afraid
On that Perfect Blue stage
I lay wrists bound crossed fist down
Isolated while the tongue of an oppressor
Takes my - breath away like
Wheezing voiceless singers
Take my breath away like
Seize their silent prayers
Take my breath away like
Anxiety and Razors
Toxic city vapors
These woods: human nature

If we didn't come back would you still remember?
If we didn't come back would you still remember?
If we didn't come back would you still remember?
If I didn't come back would you still

Violent wraiths, psionic mindflayers
Stranger things that strangle days
When memories fade in the coldest winter
"We'll be gone til November"
Private party tonight but nah no members
Wax seal on paper in an empty envelope
Zoetrope still frames of memories
I wrote with invisible burns
From light off my middle finger
Time freezes for all
For us let it linger
My hands - the of glory deliverance
A blank farewell note
Coins cover my eyes
I see Charon's boat
Standing vigil by the inferno
Sargasso Sea breeze
That sinister whisper
Now a canopy of trees
Dare I leave
Rear window vertigo
Or Terminal speed
In my CLK
Should be CBT
If I survive tonight
Remember us
Remember Me
Please
The Forest Calls For Us
The Forest lovely dark and deep
Where I have promises to keep
And miles to go before I sleep
Ozymandias
Ozymandias

If we didn't come back would you still remember?
If we didn't come back would you still remember?
If we didn't come back would you still remember?
If I didn't come back would you still

Click - black woven fabric drapes a body
Embalmed in aged leather a black dog disembodies
Vengeful engines gnaw in all directions
Self Inflicted Natural Selection off the spectrum
Cauterized but still infected
Caught your lies so stop pretending
My intention is to sever our connections
Sweet release - emancipation
It's ending
Can't see your rear view reflection

Moisture in the air condenses into rain
In the mountains of madness all driven insane
The state of this atmosphere is pressure and pain
No pleasure in brain
A blessing or bane
Receptors scream from forgotten dreams
Like the afterimages of oncoming high beams
Running from a precog murder scene
For us
In the forest
At the edge of a pastoral ravine
