Fictions Spinning

It's not the end of the world

To find the space between our worlds has frayed

It's not end days

To find that time is draining through these cracks again


I've never been the one

To sit and formulate a plan and I've

Always found that

Time paradoxes never get too far out of hand



Fictions spinning

Earth is tilting again

We find the echoes nearing


Fictions spinning

Earth is tilting again

Wait and see

Broken Ground

Trees sway on these darkened grounds

Beasts stay afraid

Keep safe and don’t get found

Please stay away


Standing on broken ground


These days the echoes tell of

Reawakened flames

Freeze frames of shadows found

Tree stained and aged


Phaseshift the disturbances evade detection

Glossy inside the infrared

Speak quiet til the windstorm clears the infection

Silently await dawn’s arrest

Are they flashlights are they cat eyes are they cryptid standby’s

Patiently seeking out revenge

Better pack light, better run from last night

And leave these woods again

Sinister Hour

Standing in the hall - shadows

Built up in my mind's eye again

Chaos in these walls - shatter

Forced to face the shame of time


Clicking

Incessant sound

It drives insane

It finds my mind


Wretched air

Bated breath

Hear the silence

Grow louder still


Sinister hour

Pulling awake

Lifting the veil of night

Softened light 

Lunar winds arise

Simple times away from here

Come to mind


Feel the warmth of

Solar light

Hear the shifting

The bracing colors of 

The worlds unseen

Appear to dance

In the serene

The figment shadow grave

The final blight 

The undefeated self defeater of minds

Hear These Tales Again

Legends tell of stoic warriors

Armed with naught but pride

Ten feet tall with skin of leather

Teeth as sharp as knives


Standing firm against the chaos

With purpose in their eyes

Heralds of the golden ages

The hope of older times


Gather round and hear the tales (of the ancient warriors)

Heroic deeds and battles waged (aspire to greatness)

Gather round come near these flames (As the night chill sets in)

Hear these tales again

Past Worlds Shimmer

Endless parched lands stretch before

These ancient sands disguise their prize

Faceless, ageless wraiths of men long passed

Deter us on our way 


Standing here

Amidst these forgotten sands as

Fragments of past worlds shimmer

In fragile chaos


Shouting winds

Retell the ancient tales as

Callous and brazen we march forth

To conquer what's dead

Let us on our way


What mechanist created these tomes

They tell of an unsuspecting journeyman

Trapped inside


As pages turn and show us these tales

Our hands become frail against the parchment

We're pulled through time


Let us on our way


Turn these pages turn these pages turn until these pages

Turn these pages turn again

Ever Slowing Days

Dusty skies and fallow ground

The water stale and murky

Sunlight barely breaks the shroud

Fading through these ever slowing days


We will fight here til the end of time


As the night slowly creeps before the sun

Heroism only lasts so long

In these ever slowing days

Harrowing focus

The dismal array

Fanatic obsessions

Impart the canid foray


Shadowy figures

Ascend the pillars midday

With incantations

Bedecked in robes of gray


And in their wisdom

They shout to stem the plague

Offload their penance

To those among the fray


Forgotten children

Amongst the ashes play

To sing of rings and rosies

Pockets of decay

Ashes to the wind

Crime of the Century

(Paranoia at its finest)


Crime of the century gold among lintery

Second guess the second the spinning ends in heat

Hidden stage, cycle plays, fitted missing feet 

Did it come with plus one or independently


Can't trust the cloth to stay vibrant

Can't trust the socks to stay tied with

Their other half that was floating in the pileup

Is it nature or just a problem we've provided


High profit black market transfer with a steady inflow

Launder the goods clear the black marks, ready to go


Polyester, acrylic, the sent of missing and fitted

Awakens the senses give greatness a chance to come with it

Market the missing in action, spin petty theft into business

Resell the feet shells back to people who first found them missing


This your mind just playing tricks?

These your dry and laundered kicks?

These the times you wonder if

Maybe there's a cartel hiding in the mists

The radio's stopped tuning

The static is forbidden

The chords quit strumming

But we found our new home

It will rain - falls so slow

It will rain down here


The drums quit thumping

These tones are forbidden

The throat cant start singing

The scarecrow is watching

It will rain, falls so slow

It will rain down here

It will rain, falls so slow

It will rain down here


Here, were awake in the desert of song

The silence broken

Here, were awake in the

The silence is broken

Silence is broken

Silence is broken

Here we sing

Sing with the fear


Fear: the control tower

The new sun comes by the hour

Ghosts slowly disappear in the fog

Silence the suffering

Weve built back the age-old sound of song

Twilight blacks the skies

The evening rains subside

The birdsongs slowly quiet

As dangers stand outside


The rustling leaves alight

Those dangerous packs at night

The homonids nearby

Have come to pick a fight


Hordes of vile infectious swine

Breach upon our lands

As defenders armed with stones in hand

Neanderthals we stand

Excavating these comet-trail ice-water minefields

Carry life-giving prize-winning crime deals

By the carrier load

Sweet crystalline dreams

 

Cut and run when deputized come to wrest the ice floes

From desperate sky-folk

Just looking for a way mine hope turn high-float rock to liquid hope

 

Legends tell of a time before our skies closed

Putting death and fire in our hydro

When the rain turned violent we ran past the sky to find Crystalline

 

Now floating in the void we hide from the agency that laid claim to the trails and space we see.

We're renegades at sea, just looking for a bounty and the Crystalline

Bred For War

Harsh light chrysalis

Injector pods prepped for toxic genesis

Breeding future minutemen

Somatic combatants bred for cosmic sentience

 

Pop, fizz, sizzle, drip

Amniotic fluid boils against the refrigerants

Lights sway, flicker, dim

As eyes without minds watch in restless innocence

 

Bred for war

 

Hive mind synchronous

Eyes at one time flicker, dilate, fill with consciousness

Light beams fill the sense

Alarms and echoes of tearing metal of battleship

 

Hull breach imminent

Prep for battle send in newborn armaments  

Download intelligence

To the symbionts born newly freed from wombs of synthesis

 

Bred for war

Flit and float away

The sky seems to pulse and beat with the light from these creatures

Grab a jar to capture and keep them

Bioluminescence in the evening

Their incandescence seems freeing

Magic in a world where grandeur seems fleeting

And the stars stop glowing so bright

With our childhood growing on up

Get lost inside the evening haze

And I am strong

These dreams that others give me
Give life to consciousness

Wake up, the world begins
Well find another way

Without your lamp to guide our way
We stumble in the night

When late our entries fall
Your wrath we dread
But never failed have you to open

That one day you'll return
To bring the compo back to life
Or elsewhere we must turn

Your presence missing still
Our hearts in pain
Til partybot has sung his song
Pray come again

Took Our Skies Away

They didn't come in peace. They stole our skies. What do we do now?

Lyrics:
Gentle breezes glide across the water
At the end of the day
What looks peaceful hides the true disaster
Boiling in the pale
They took our skies away
And fear is all we have that remains
Gentle breezes, quiet waters
They took our skies away

Quiet waters under skies of fire
Time is drawing night
Air turns acrid as waters boil to nothing
Before eternal night
They took our skies away
Neither we nor fear remain
Gentle breezes, quiet waters
They took our skies away

Hey son, where are you going
With fuel on empty, end over end
Hey kid, why are you slowing
Don't you know gravity takes hold and orbits descend

Through clouds below and stars above
Our path it wanders lower still
Our path it wanders lower still

Hey son, forgive me for asking
So many questions as you fight our fate
Hey kid, I know you're gasping
For air as our ship falls free of space

Air, fire, horizons lost
Air, fire, try harder still

Through clouds below and stars above
Through engine failure and shifted blame
Through clouds below and stars above
Our path it wanders lower still
Our path it wanders lower still

Hey kid, thanks for trying.

Bring Back What's Mine

You steal what's mine
All my treasures
I once had three parakeets
But now I have no bird friends

I'm tired of betrayal
I'm a poor soul in need
I once had three limosines
But now my garage is empty

Give back what you stole or face me down (I will face you down)
Fight me like a man I'll take you down (I will take you down)

Bring back what's mine I beg you

My food tastes bland
Since you stole my tongue
I once had three eyes of green
But now I can't even see

And my arms don't work
Without my shoulder blades
I once had three trampolines
But now I stand on ground

Covering our

The burdens of past mistakes

Dust piled up for years

Life is not for the weak
Life is for
Those who persevere

I can hope for peace
For rest for life

Our hands close around the spoils
