Occupy Reality

Untitled, but it's 4:46 AM, so fuck it.

Posted by John. , 11 May 2013 · 109 views

What does it mean to face down your demons?
In the witching hour of the killing season.
Suffice it to say, I’m sufficiently paranoid,
Visions of my own condition, I cannot avoid.
 
What’s to be said for discarding an identity?
Disregarding just a sentient sum of memory
Do I press onward while the road’s contracting?
And all my will,...

For What It's Worth

Posted by John. , 22 January 2013 · 195 views

I drank some coffee, and a Rockstar, and some herbal shit
In a water bottle; it tastes fine if you keep shaking it,
Floor it on the interstate, the world is slow when I'm wired
Soaring through the altered state of feeling inspired, 
I lay a wreath in memoriam of everything I never wrote,
So many songs and stories were lost to times I did not devote
My...

Devoured

Posted by John. , 15 October 2012 · 161 views

The tension is rising in the air
Droning in the wires
My chest is tight while my heart flares,
I’m too shaken to tire
My attempts to disarm,
Only magnify the harm
I throw a loaded gun to the fire

Desperate again, frayed inside
Screaming out “I fucking tried!”
Or is that just a lie?
I can’t even decide…

Aim inward or...

A Perfect Fire

Posted by John. , 31 August 2012 · 201 views

Streetlights glow behind the trees,
The leaves move to the night's breeze
A portrait of a perfect fire lets ten thousand words be told,
Of a heart's fatigue from beating,
No retreating!
Hope is fleeting, as is meaning
Yet I still need to let all these thoughts unfold
My songs will stir the wind until the air turns cold
As flourescent hope...

Drifting

Posted by John. , 27 July 2012 · 322 views

These are post-hardcore/metalcore song lyrics about me missing some old friends in my life who I don't talk with much anymore. The first two stanzas would be growled and the last stanza would be sung clean with dueling vocals, but you should of course read it however you want to.

You told me that I
Would outlast this...

Emberlight

Can I write away all the anxiety of passing years?
Until the muse of lonely nights fails to inspire me
The ink inside this pen is laced with constant fear and caustic tears,
It sinks into the pages of a burning diary
And the charred remains
Could be millions of the finest grains,
And sublimate,
But they will never be erased enough for me.

Can the ticking...

Breaking the Hourglass

Posted by John. , 28 May 2012 · 231 views

I awaken on a nameless shore,
Laying at the brink of a boundless sea,
I begin to sink
Watching all the world's rain
Falling down on me

And that's the weight of all I've held on to,
And it's my wish
For a new ocean, one I'd sail with you
A horizon where waves melt into the sky
Something infinite for you and I.

Because all these...

The World I Want

Posted by John. , 09 May 2012 · 253 views

Half awake in the dark AM,
With an imaginative spark again,
It often leads to nothing more
Than keystrokes in frustration
Where deep inside this storm of thoughts
I fantasize the world I want
And there's a song that captures
That fleeting moment of elation

In the world I want I always knew you,
And always knew just what to say;
I was a stronger...

Two Poems

Posted by John. , 14 April 2012 · 115 views

Drive

My ambition is not conditioned to accept this call to competition,
Stagnation, boredom, repetition - refusal is not avolition,
My mission: contradiction, negation of hollow cognition,
That's followed to these bleak positions,
A dry well made to throw a wish in,
Transcend permission, increase the friction,
Dismantle borders through...

How Can I?

Posted by John. , 28 March 2012 · 215 views

Here are some metalcore lyrics I wrote this afternoon, while I had a migraine which may have enhanced their quality or made them into a senseless pile of nonsense, I don't know. This was partially inspired by Rick and Shane in the Walking Dead (which I won't detail because of spoilers), and part of it was just me searching for words that sounded...
