They Wait For You Still
Low men in yellow cloaks have taken my body and my mind To the other side crawling back from both space and time to recover what was lost If change is the only constant will I forgive and let all ire die? A sinister calling on the phone, that was unplugged, is how it will begin From which way they come, I’m never sure Looking inward converging paths you could not trace I would not advise to speak their names or to know their face Pay no attention to shapes in the sky, moths at play And they in plain sight Placing an ad in the classifieds they are looking for me, my life, a bargain trade Maybe they’ve come after you for yours as well It’s time to run so leave no trace of where you’ve been No life to hide but better than, to go with them Eyes only see half the truth of who they are From neither sun nor star.

Beyond the door closing in like times before Burning lights start to spin that pull you down and pull you in all your voices echo in pain Torn apart fall to the gray Did you see those lights? Maybe in your head. Dead lights burn with no flame This time you lose you can’t win. And the world doesn’t care. They seem alone fleeing serpents of their own Dead lights. All around. Burning somehow.

I raise my voice high among the many No longer sound I hear only pain A thousand lives lost this time It’s burning inside of me I don’t know the taste of air Untouched by the hands of failure And the wind comes in haste Pulls me down, lays me to waste What is the sentence what is the crime If only I’ve the words to make you see A waste of our lives when sympathy runs dry And loss is cut like weeds Empathy it seems a disease read about But never tried To whom they scream

Monstrous and consuming There was no sun but just enough light Things grew but twisted and broken Great shapes seemed to move in the fog And the panic spread Many vanished but some hid In the ruin like vermin The long dark endured I run in fear of unknown horrors I run as far as I can see In a world with no dawn A hopeless shadow of who I used to be When I awake I run through a dream In this nightmare kingdom Did they once call it a dream? Life and living, it’s long become my prison Feet nailed to the floor Arms bound body shackled If we won the battle then we lost the war That spreads and invades Fear is contagious and becomes our new plague You writhe in pain and scream in the dark

I’ve held these burdens for you Are you…………not pleased? You will not walk alone Down the road I heave weaved Among the threads I let you stray Hang on the edge Only a few steps more You won’t let us down Your body is broke And your mind is gone But the ghost won’t move on A harder way I’ve never known Can’t kill two birds with one stone Fire in your eyes strings you to life You fucking clear a path Because I cannot see The weight is upon my back And I mark my road with pain

The castle grows quiet where have they gone? It feels so empty here today What have you done in your name? Now for your acts you’ll be soon slain You’ve had your day, little kings Now you’ll go the way of all things I’ve opened my mind to the world outside And I feel crippled and insane All that I’ve worked for all that I’ve learned Will only haunt me as I burn We have always lived in this castle But now left alone with no one to blame Wanted to change what I should have changed before Wanted change but change is done The only change left is to burn And see it turn to ash You have that Midas touch What was gold, turns to husks at your command A reflection of how you look inside Flowers wither at your feet You’ve built up your walls left blank But not tall enough to hide your shame You cannot gaze into mirrors To see what you have become I wanted to say what I should have said before Wanted to say but no one left to hear Left with nothing become nothing Will I be nothing?
