Bearers

What if your kind word never landed?
If every gesture went unreciprocated,
if every kiss was met with blows?
It would not be for naught.
Bearers of love into this world,
lend me your tears.
Out of pain, the unassailable.
Distance between me and you
a morbid chasm
self-interest widens the gap
Good intentions rendered null.
Two sides to an infinite number of coins
Bearers of love into this world
lend me your wounds
Out of pain,
the unassailable.
the intangible
the unknowable
Bearers of love into this world,
lend me your strength
Let it not be for naught

Bound
02:10
|
|||
|
No way “forward” in the abyss
Each step in reckless pursuit of what we miss
Directionless
No guiding star
Bound by all that came before
We resign to being torn
Distorted minds
Inventing past bliss
Sad broken fools
content to reminisce
Directionless…
Bound by all that came before

Imperative
01:32
|
|||
|
Wasted scars
All for nothing
Deadened nerves
They mean nothing
In your mind
You justify
The pain that you’ve made real
The narrative imperative
Hastens you to heal
Shall we bleed - unexamined?
Shall we bleed?
Paint yourself into a corner,
make that place your home.
Tell yourself it’s what you wanted,
Static and alone.

Pendulum
01:36
|
|||
|
Spanning divides
built over time
We all carry weights
heads bowed from the strain
Pass each other in silence
Inside of us violence
Pass all others in silence
Passive violence
Building walls
drawing the curtains
keeps us from dreading our horizons
We all carry weights
heads bowed from the strain
Pass each other in silence
Inside of us violence
Pass all others in silence
Acts of violence!
Hope or fear
Joy or regret
The pendulum swings…
Are our needs being met?
Hope or fear
Joy or regret
Are our needs being…

Sliver
01:09
|
|||
|
In this sliver of humanity
with whom we feel at peace
You deny them the same relief
We stare at outstretched hands
While clinching what we hold
Abandoning appendages
To wither in the cold
Lay it to rest

Unleash
03:41
|

|
Left to rot
They’ve been abandoned
With nothing left
What’s there to harvest?
Back and forth they go
Wandering streets but never known
“The way it is”
or wolves in our midst?
When men are driven to their knees
who benefits?
Is man a product
of our times
Do we deserve more
than to die?
Only we
can liberate us
Only we.
Unleash
