We could drive around

Drink in all the streetlights

Find the local laundromat

Quarter at night

But I don’t think you want to

At least that’s how it feels

I suppose I understand

I do have other friends

Careful not to slip and fall

Checkered plates in a dining hall

The vibe

It’s so unreal

Life it seems is so surreal

Digitize the sound

Slip into delight

Where did all my money go

Gave me a fright

I think that I want to

At least that’s how it feels

I suppose I understand

I do have other friends

Careful not to slip and fall

Checkered plates in a dining hall

The vibe

It’s so unreal

Life it seems is so surreal

Hop back in

I can tell you are my twin

But I’m afraid

That I’ll lose the race

But at least I feel like I can win

I may not be very tall

Stronger folk have made the fall

The vibe

It’s so unreal

Life it seems just isn’t real

The vibe

It’s so unreal

I guess that’s how we learn to feel

Goodbye

Thanks again

Don’t forget to tell your friends

Coward flirting safely in its nest

Muddy drinking water pays the rent

Stick and stuck with stiffened muck

Locked up poorly

Safely stuck

Which lies west

This witch lies best

We rest without sleep

And we dream without sheep

Oh no

Go yes west at best

With fish people meat

Let me come around and see

Let me run to town and breathe

I don’t want to leave my bed

It’s comfortable inside my head

Lay me up and build me down

Place atop an origami crown

Creature feature show

More than we know

More than we know

Maybe this day

Maybe this way

Maybe it’s fate

It’s a date

It’s a date

With a fish

Operating the shift stick

I’m creating a fuss

Soon we dry out the mystic

Lay the meat out for lust

Magic hands are unwelcome

You will not read my eyes

Calculating the ransom

No more holes left to dry

Where did it all seem to go?

Was I cremated to flow?

Did the water allow it

Or is it a casket with nothing to show?

Evolution brought apocalypse

So said fortune tellers of the West

I think I see something new

One thing, fun thing

A cruise without a crew

Some stuff gets hung up

But which when is better

While hairs on my neck stand

And wet up my throat

Sometimes things are difficult with you

Discord fun went in tense rhythms

Shame we have a wish

To start again

To start again

Sometimes things are livable with you

Our coming attraction

Hand and face made of rust

Creating problems with oil

And making a quake when the world makes a fuss

Collecting all our intentions

Sailing away by the sea

Until the serpents collision

Who’s mission it seems is to set me off course

Rattlesnake

Battlesnake

Kill what you can

Catch me up

Snatch me up

Make me a man

Where did it all seem to go?

Was I cremated to flow?

Did the water allow it

Or is it a casket with nothing to show?

Sometimes things are difficult with you

When your limbs feel numb and refuse to move, I am there. When your heart is coated with lead and chained to your stomach, I am there. When your mind begs to slow itself down, I am there. I will always be there. I am not a part of you. You are a part of me. This hesitation, this fear, this loathing is me. You hate yourself. You want to be better, but you never will. You are not good. You hate everyone else. You despise your family, you cast out your friends and you shut off your soul. You think the only respite can be a full and total numbing. But even if joy is gone, I will always remain. You are an empty void that can never grow. You are useless. You have no value. No one will love you because you cannot love yourself. You are filthy. This world is disgusting and you have done nothing to repair it. You only make things worse for yourself. I know it. You know it. You are a waste. You are scum. You are not worth the energy required of life. Time will never stop and you will always struggle. You can never make things better. Never.

If I were a god

I would make myself kind

I would shape myself

To an ideal design

But to be an almighty

Is a dangerous task

And I would soon grow bored

With not a friend to last

I would shape my children

To be strong and smart

I’d give them great brains

But a very flawed heart

But a tale is not told

Without conflict

I would make an antagonist

A galactic convict

So terrible is he

That my children would shake

But the power within

Would not allow them to break

As their foe is defeated

They would curse my name

For bringing them fear

And unimaginable pain

They would craft great contraptions

And enter my domain

They would call me fiend

And declare I shall be slain

And when I look upon my children

Who had conquered the stars

I would realize my faults

And proclaim from my heart

I am not perfect

It shall never be so

But a wanted a creature

Who could teach me hope

It is lonely in this Void

My solitary domain

I only wanted others

Who could understand my pain

Now that I’ve seen

What all you have done

I am proud of my children

And I know you have won

With that it would pass

That my soul would rest

And a new child of mine

Would apply for the test

He would sit on my throne

Claiming he will be better

And I would watch with pride

What is a mask

But a form obsolete

Broken and scarred

By your weathering feet

In time you would find

That the Void tucked behind

Would soon rear its head

And speak nothing kind

Ugly things shifts your gaze

In its wake forms a craze

A chance to become

Something to amaze

What is a mask

But a chance to deceive

A chance to restructure

What others would perceive

In time you would find

A little Chaos tucked behind

Would devour your will

And leave all others blind

Identity is all that you praise

Self-worth is a phase

Return to the Earth

To your rightful place

None are deserving of faith

In darkness he came

And a war would ensue

Between those who believed

And those remaining few

I want to see

What I can be

When I am you

I want to be

A part of you

And you of me

Your lives are not gifts

That are yours to award

I will take what is mine

You will have what is yours

In time I will rise

When the last star would fall

I then shall return

And devour you all

All praise the Void

He knows what I do not

All be destroyed

And open up your heart

And as the beast had prophesied

With time he left

And took with him their eyes

I think I see

Another me

A growing beast

The prophets they ran

Far across the mountains

Spreading sick fantasies

Of blood from his fountain

But what they did not know

What they could not foresee

Was that Chaos had left

But the Void was still free

Slowly their hunger

Split a gap in their hearts

And their lives were forfeit

At the moment they start

I know my dream

I want to be

Another me

I shall be clean

For harvesting

And I will drink

And I’ll consume

I will kill

Then sleep

Then resume

I will live up to the will of our god

I will show him that I am fit to be taught

I will give him my soul

I will offer my life

And this Void left inside

Shall be filled with his thoughts

There in time came a day that was black

Where all people knew

There was no turning back

The creature called Chaos had left in its wake

A sickness that spread

And urged you to take

Yet within this calamity

A life had been born

A life which refused

To be broken and torn

I know I see

A horrid beast

Underneath

And I can’t speak

I feel it creep

A silent shriek

By the tree

And I can’t speak

Never

And as it walked upon the Earth

The beast within began to birth

Spewing out between the cracks

A beast of fire blew smoke upon the facts

I fell asleep

And now I see

A dreaded beast

In my dreams

I am yours

And I am mine

I will tear down your world

And inhabit your mind

I am the beast

Of which Void cannot speak

I am the bell

Who’s toll will now ring

I can hear you are breathing

I detect you are scared

You know I need feeding

So run if you dare

I think I’ve seen

The end of me

Can I retreat?

Never

With an ancient roar it reared it’s head

And the visions they saw

Filled them only of dread

The thing that it wanted

The thing that it got

Was to tear out our heads

And to gobble our thoughts

I can’t believe

I won’t retreat

I believe

Never

Behold my children

For I come with a gift

To become one with me

And become as a rift

My desire is simple

It is all too plain

I do not want your bodies

I want only your brain

And the beast known as Chaos

Came into being

And being as it was

Took all who were fleeing

But those who were brave

And were granted it’s trust

Became part of its life

And they shared the same lust

Silence blanketed the land of old. In this age of darkness, chaos ruled the ancient peoples. Their once peaceful world was suddenly struck by a great calamity which submerged their world into a frenzy. A beast of the Void, without warning, came and devoured the planet. No living thing was safe from the beast’s gaping maw. It came suddenly and consumed just as quickly. Civilizations were brought to ruin, the soil grew barren and man was all but assured that this was indeed the end times. However, a hero of the divine light was born within the last of the scattered survivors. The hero was said to posses a strength that far surpassed that of the beast. When the day came that he finally met with the creature, his power overwhelmed the beast and banished it back into the Void from which it came. However, once the monster was slain, the hero was overcome by the influence of Void, desperate to now find a new host. The hero accepted the darkness as to stop its spread to others, dragging him into the Void as well. It is said that the divine hero still lives as an immortal within the Void, driving away any force inside that would seek to burst from its dark prison to conquer our world once more. To this day he fights, always protecting our world from being once more consumed by this darkness.
