tristen

deafening silence surrounds me while i struggle to regain control of the misbalanced fog that encloses my mind ~ I stagger forward at my limits through the mist, fighting to keep the earth from dragging me into it's damp embrace ~ hazy visions and dull echoing sounds permeate the atmosphere which continues to sink in upon me ~ I know there is no escape save one and though i yearn for that sweet final embrace my only aversion is the inability to admit defeat ~ noiselessly it slithers towards me like the heavy tendril of white mist, the tool of daemons and angels commanding the reach of death ~ fear washes over me ineffectually like water over a stone, breaking away a little more of the surface in negligible amounts ~ somewhere in the hidden distance a familiar voice calls but no understanding is presented of it's purpose, save that it tolls of a warning ~ urgency fills my soul without direction while the sounds and visions press ever closer threatening to prematurely suffocate the light from my candle ~ the nature of the message remains hidden aside from it's urgency, and if nothing is done soon... all will be lost ~

THE DAY I TRIED TO LIVE

I woke the same as any other day
Except a voice was in my head
It said seize the day, pull the trigger
Drop the blade, and watch the rolling heads

The day I tried to live
I stole a thousand beggar's change
And gave it to the rich

The day I tried to win
I dangled from the power lines
And let the martyrs stretch
Singing

One more time around might do it
One more time around might make it
One more time around might do it
One more time around
The day I tried to live

Words you say never seem
To live up to the ones inside your head
The lives we make never seem
To ever get us anywhere but dead

The day I tried to live
I wallowed in the blood and mud with
All the other pigs

I woke the same as any other day you know
I should have stayed in bed

The day I tried to win
I wallowed in the blood and mud with
All the other pigs

And I learned that I was a liar
Just like you
