To Live is to be Haunted

We're settling for nothing less
But countless times of saying "no"
This nonchalance could not impress
But rather speed this newfound low
No refuge and no escape
From this situations shape
Our eyes are faint and and yet percieve
The old times woven tapestry
A hollow shadow sets its tone
Whispering of days long gone
An apparition rips and tears
It brings a heavy guilt to bear
These ghosts are haunting our halls
And how can I find solace
In a city that births a billion babies not worth
a dollar, a food-stamp or thought?
My modernity is in the hands of my longevity
And the memories are what's helping me stroll
through the streets with feet wounded from the needles
I've treaded for you

No Gods, No Masters

Of all my choices
(each and every)
None are valid
(all myopic)
On one side neutral
(Unempathic)
And on the other
(much of the same)
All of them ignorant into their bones
No one is right, no one's of use
Either bastardizing the word "freedom"
Or hanging from a corporate noose
Making distinctions is like splitting hairs
Identical, unstable
And in the shade of false dichotomy
Lawlessness seems preferable
Fix your skewed views
(Don't let them march on)
(Reject)

Ögonblick
Korta sekunder vi skulle hållit kärt
Tillfällen
Dagar och nätter vi aldrig har haft
Vår relation
Kärlek och minnen som aldrig tagit plats
Jag kommer alltid att undra om det gick att förhindra
Att starta om på nytt och korrigera alla fel
Hur du kunde ta ifrån oss alla känslor och tillit
Och ersätta dem med lögner och svek
Hur ska jag orka att gå hela vägen
Och släpa med mig denna tyngd
Ingen snara kan rädda mig från skadan jag bär
Detta kors lämnar mig aldrig och jag vill aldrig
Mer känna din kärlek
Du var aldrig där

Oh how you wear that crown so lightly
Spewing prejudice while being against it
You sit on that throne so high and mighty
Spewing ignorance and judging all else
All you want is recognition
Everything you say is a contradiction
That crown and throne will be void some day
your castle will crumble and be laid to waste
All you want is recognition
Everything you say is a contradiction
That noose you tied is tightening
And I'll be watching you hang from the tree you've sown
No one will speak your name
No one will dig your grave
No one will remember you
So fuck your trends

Assault - on our civil rights
They don't care for you or your fair insights
Enforce - daily misery
Anti-progression of our liberty
Cruelty - apologized
As they breach your home and cause you demise
Menace - clad in navy blue
With hail through your pets nose they horde and accrue
How many bad apples are just a few?
How low must they steep before we see change through?
This incompetence is unacceptable
Each one should be accountable
As none of their faults get reprimands
In a field plagued with low demands
This incompetence is unacceptable
Each one should be accountable
As none of their faults get reprimands
In a field plagued with low demands
Most are not heroes, many thugs for hire
So cut down their pedestal

Our Hearts were Gardens

I always used to believe
That what's current is the prime
But as my hairline recedes
My beliefs do the same
I miss the sensation of walking home in the dead of winter,
embracing what's real instead of escaping
I miss the times when we molded our futures
We modeled them out of our youth
And lazy summer days, picking apples off of neighbors trees
Wrestling on trampolines and grinding the curbs of our schoolyard
The movies we made have surpassed their goals
They are no longer mere entertainment
They are documents of the simpler times
And testaments to our amends
Where did these times go?
They died at our hands
But live on in our hearts
