Chaos and Confusion

Chaos and confusion
Fall deeper in debt to illusion
As lethargic discontent
Swells boundless through the room
She to feign a smile
But I could see through her denial
As she contemplated pacing around the room
I said “honey, one more round”
But I left no time for her to frown
As I dealt the cards around our table
She slowly shook her head
And lighting another cigarette
She told herself not to, but
Instantly began to forget
I knew she would
Yeah i knew she would
She drew her cards slowly
Yielding to deference
It’s not as though she had any other line of defense
She signed a heavy sigh
Fighting a single tear in her eye
And for a moment I nearly felt guilty
I quickly turned to my side
And after a moment I let it slide
Sometimes the truth, you’ve just got to hide

Friendly Fire
03:00
|
|||
Trip and fall on a wire
Trying to escape friendly fire
Still everyone you know is calling you a liar
Like a bonafide outlaw
Running from the government
They’d rather die than acknowledge your desires
Shards of glass lay on the floor
Look out they’re coming for more
All the while they’re throwing rocks at the windows
Shards of glass lay on the floor
Look out they’re coming for more
All the while was this worth fighting for?

Guards in the Garden
05:29
|

Winding midnight avenues
Bleed gently into one
Slipping in and out of consciousness, the game has begun
Winding midnight avenues
Bleed gently into one
Slipping in and out of consciousness, the game has begun
The light’s been broken for months now
It’s good to see that people here still care
Clandestine passion
Re-arranged without fashion
While the King sits unsuspecting on the throne
Clandestine passion
Without the pretense of fashion
Still the king sits unsuspecting all alone
The guards in the garden, oh they’re just getting air
But I wouldn’t worry, you can see how much they care
So I call on my muse
But she was less than amused
That I dare disturb her in her slumber
She said I was inconsiderate
So I sat and considered it
But I think I’ll disagree with what she muttered
The guards in the garden, oh they’re still getting air
Now I’m starting to get worried, but she doesn’t even care

New Inspiration
04:07
|

The search for new inspiration
Has lead her to
Very dark situations
And dangerous people too
Well she’s been here before
Nothing new or unfamiliar
Every time reminding her
Of just how much she has to lose
But she’ll never learn
No matter how hard you try to help
No she’ll never learn
Soon you’ll have to figure it out for yourself
Down the alleyway
Ever so gently she strolls
Into the open hands of fate
Ceding control to the unknown host
Casually he introduces himself
As the wild son of love and death
And grinning a malicious smile
He takes her hand and they wander into the night
But she’ll never learn
No matter how hard you try to help
No she’ll never learn
And soon you’ll have to figure it out for yourself

Paranoia
05:29
|
|||
The skies are turning
Impatiently
With the passing of time
It’s all you’ll see
Colour fading to dust
Mysteriously
Running out of trust
It’s hard to believe
The walls are moving
They’re closing in
And paranoia
Seeping through my skin
The deadliest gazes
Peering through my soul
And evil smiles
Kicking down the doors
Colour fading to dust
Mysteriously
Running out of trust
It’s hard to believe
The deadliest gazes
Peering through my soul
And evil smiles
Kicking down the doors
Kicking down the doors
Colour fading to dust
And paranoia
Who can I trust?

Fire in Her Eyes
06:56
|
|||
I look to the night for guidance
But get no answers from the void
So I turn to you in compliance
But you’re too busy trying to avoid
The rising tension unfolding
Through strange tales of suspense
Haunted by petty thoughts
And bitter happiness
Fire burns through her eyes as your
Soul sinks comfortably into a chair
Stare into her face
A dirty mirror of what once was mine
And now the ghosts may be haunting
But I don’t need a reminder
As pictures of you
Burn gently in the fire

Living in Constant
06:29
|

Live in constant fear of death
The priest did all he could
To guarantee no further regrets
Lose grip from where he stood
Laying on his deathbed pondering
Clouds parting over his head
The accusations seemed so absurd
His soul already wandering
But still the rain had all but cleared
Gloomy reminder of his solitude
A sudden flash of light appeared
And opportunity lay misconstrued
“Madness”, cried a haunting voice
From outside of the window
And in reminiscence he glanced
One final glance around the room
And as nerves began to rise
The power cut out
And the noises grew louder
And louder and louder and louder
And with a heavy sight, he knew
His time had come to say goodbye

Page Before
07:18
|
|||
Half stepping foot through the door
Already a sense of heavy hostility
Takes a shot through my thick shades
To the paranoid, insecure, restless part of my mind
The scene is cold and the party’s dead
Hardly helped by the fact that everyone’s
Eyeing each other suspiciously
And not knowing what to expect
I glanced at the girl by the window
But only managed to catch a glimpse of the back of her head
As I walk on down the hall
The walls shining in an unfriendly shade of blue
Odd considering that the paint is red
Stumbling to my feet as I overhear
The conversations in the corner
I can honestly say that I didn’t expect to hear
The sound of shot glass smashing
The corner of the table
Followed by sobbing voices
Whispering how they can’t believe
His time had come to pass,
And looking over their shoulder
I noticed in their possession
A beautiful picture of myself
Alongside a text in the paper
Alongside a text in the paper
The page before the comic book section
