Silence

Silence breeds ignorance
Ignorance yields conformity
Conformity is the death of creation
...
Silence is the destroyer of creation
but who is the creator of silence?
creation shall die
and i shall be its destruction...

Quietus

Your soul was removed to make way for your pain
Insanity spreads like a plague in your brain
The darkness surrounds you until all you see
Is me creeping in as I answer your plea
Toying with your mind, saying, "I'm your release,
Just take your last breath and I'll put you at peace."
I know that you want me, I see in your eyes
You want my embrace, my cold grip like a vise...
Come lie with me here and inside you I'll dwell
For what can you lose? You're already in hell.
Yes, you deserve this, you've waited so long
I'll return to my haven and take you along
How much time have you waited for me to descend
Upon you as you're crying, "oh please make this end--"
I'll take you and wrap you up, quenching your lust
Your soul nonexistant, your body to dust
I'll see you eventually, whether now or in time
But why are you scared? Giving up is no crime.
Yet I watch your tears fall as despair takes control
The noose 'round your neck as fear's taking it's toll
Just step off the stool--just one step and it's done
A few moments of pain, and then there is none
Then I'll bear you away to sleep on by my side
In my grasp you'll give up both sadness and pride
...Doesn't that sound enticing? And yet you hold on
Pull away from my touch, cling to life and press on
But you cannot lie, I've heard each time you've cried
I'm lingering close, yet each time I'm denied
Don't deny me, I know you crave my caress
Though you may spite me now, you'll be mine nontheless...

Rules of Life

1. Never lose control of yourself
2. Trust no one, it will only lead to pain
3. Keep the peace, avoid conflict
4. Follow authority and have faith in them
5. Always put yourself first in your priorities
6. Follow others' examples, take cues from them
7. If it will cause a stir, don't say it out loud
8. Abandon lost causes if it looks hopeless
9. Never fall totally in love--stay grounded.
10. Now go out and break every rule you just read.

Losing control is totally worth the ride; Trusting someone can bring more euphoria than pain if you choose the right person; Sometimes people need conflict to avoid insanity; NEVER have faith in or follow authority...you will regret it; You are not always first (gasp!) sometimes there are things that are more important; DON'T follow others, don't march to their beat--dont even march to the beat of a different drummer. You are the fukn drummer; Speak your mind until their ears bleed the bloods of revolution; Fighting for a cause means it is never lost, but if you give up it definitely is; ......And if you have the chance, fall completely in love. Like I said, losing control is totally worth the ride.

Satan's Smoke

I get high off Satan's smoke

Swirling, vaporous fantasies

I'll inhale hard until I choke

It fills my blood with sweet release

I feel as if I just awoke

To something greater than hypocrite verse

Because to breathe the devil's smoke

Is a privilege mistaken for a curse

The pipe's contents are always alight

The bowl will never need refilled

A single puff, a newer height

And my unhappy thoughts are stilled

For when you go get high with Satan

He asks for nothing in return

His intentions are indeed quite blatant

Grant the desires for which you yearn

Unlike some, he won't tell you to bow

And beg him repentance for every mistake

He doesn't ask you commit a vow

You're allowed pleasure with nothing at stake

You call it sin, because you fear

The wrath you think your god can invoke

But I suggest you sidle up here

Be free, get high off Satan's smoke.

Aflame

Let's take our pain, and write it all down
On these paper walls where our hurt resounds
Before it's too late, before we both drown
Let's light it aflame and burn the walls down...
Don't listen too close, their words are like guns
Like bullets they fly, destroy what you've won
Like razors they cut, they think it's so fun
They hold you in place before you can run...
Let's take these walls, use blood for our ink
Keep breathing aloud, we know we can't sink
Lets burn this down fast, we're both on the brink
To show them our hurt, who cares what they think...
No longer will they drag us down like lead
With ignorant acts and lies that they've said
Get what they planted out of my head
The fear and remorse, the hate they have bred...
The scars that they gave, let's show them, be proud
They speak of a pain we can't share aloud
Our one desperate voice attracts quite a crowd
As smoldering walls yield billowing clouds...
Look at this house, transformed into flame
Burning all our hate, regret and our blame
We're sending them back to the ground where they came
And once they are gone, we won't be the same...
We'll celebrate this glorious sight
As paper walls burn, a torch in the night
Reflects in dark eyes, and gives them new light
Like flames to the air, unchained, we'll take flight...
