We felt the wave break
Our crest has all but fallen
Our mark on history
Was etched before we carved it
Time fails
All life
All kings
Will die
It’s all or nothing
And they’re exactly the same
The stream is strong
Against the current we trudge on
Until we slip and we’re gone
To each his purpose
Whatever it may be
Are you predestined?
Some whim of a phantom being
Or is your path at your discretion?
I hear you listening
You faint echo of nothing
All this happened before
And it will happen again
But we carry no reminders
Of who we were or what we’ve been
Time waits
For all men
It’s got nothing else to do
But still we strive
To gain the knowledge
That will be disproved
When our great-grandkids go to college
All this happened before
And it will happen again
But each further down a timeline
That ends up right where it began
Time waits
For all men
It has no choice but to see us through
The dream is strong
But every aspect is wrong
We’re all fumbling along
In pattern
Either way we’re doomed
Eternity is an endless tomb
Those books
That tried
To expand
Your mind
Guess what?
They lied
You’re dirt
When you die
It’s all or nothing
And they’re exactly the same

There’s a pile of phone books
At the apartment door
Ignored, they sit for weeks
Forsaken, obsolete
I am online, I am alive
I need it to survive
I want it now, I need it faster
First world problems
Hey social network
Freeze, it’s the grammar police
And you’re wanted for murder
How much language degrade further?
Get psyched!
We’re all going to be famous!
Just film your stupid life
And hordes will swarm to trash and praise it
Or get off
By keeping your spite nameless
Spitting the foulest bile
Anonymously shameless
A failed ideal
There’s no global community
It’s just a web of chuds
Talking shit with impunity
No one around me
Listens to what I say
How do I make it viral
I’ve got what it takes
To succeed
I don’t need it to last
Just give me a taste
I’ll burn out hot and fast
My opinion is important
That is why I write my blog
It makes me feel like I’m important
When people read my blog
It feels so good when the words come out
Keystroking my ego
What else would you like to know?
I took a look at your life
On the internet
And I was not impressed

Don’t broach the subject, just let it lie
Keep it in the tall grass, just beyond the line
But oh, an abstract
Concept lurks
A warring, inactive faction reacting
To threats against my worth
I don’t understand
What that man has got on me
An income deserving, professional earnings
A company to claim
I make enough to get by
Yeah I do my job
Someday I should get a better job
I suppose
Is it wrong to live like this forever:
Sediment in my adamance
That pleasure should take precedence?
Ambition is a bitter drug
A poison lottery
Well my ambition is to never be
Another goddamn worker bee
Don’t break the silence
Keep it to yourself
Nobody wants to hear it
You’ve got nothing to complain about
I want it all
I want to be the one who sold before the fall

Listen here
I'm no Young Money Millionaire
And I get winded walking up the stairs
I know you see a lot of men in here
But they don't love you like me
I'd pay your bills
If I could pay my own
I'd go half on a baby
Even if it wasn't my spawn
I know you've been with better
I know I've been with worse
I know you'll love me
For every dollar I'm worth
I will bring a summer flood
To wet your barren hills
I stake my claim
Until my money's gone
My word is bond:
I belong
And though I emit
A dull light
I will never
Say goodnight

There is no love
Left in my heart for the world of men
So I depart
For the undying lands
There is no love
Left in my heart for a mortal woman
I am a shell, a trail of smoke
An evaporation
I live my life
In twilight
Just grasping
And groping at the dark
But there's nothing to grab on to
Or grabbing back
I am driving through the forest
With no headlights
I don't know why I haven't crashed into a tree
I never hit the brakes
The hills just aren't that steep
I'm never going anywhere at a fatal speed
So I set my sails
And float to my end
"I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow
I feel my fate in what I cannot fear
I learn by going where I have to go"
I live in words that are not my own
It takes too long to finish
What needs to be done
I see my prize waiting for me
But I'm not sure I've won
I've wasted so much time
Defining what is mine
Nothing is Mine

You're not
The one
I love
But you're
The one
I got
Still, I'm not too blind to see
That you're the only one who will have me
The girl
Of My
Fantasies
Is not
The one
Of my
Reality
Still, I'm not too blind to see
That you're the only one who will have me
Somewhere
One of my ex-girlfriends is getting fucked
And it pisses me off
I am my betrothed

Galactus
07:47
|

The world is crashing to an end
Nowhere to hide
No compromise
Destroyer’s hand is bearing down
We are but fodder to the crown
Of Galactus
And as we die
The sky burns red
For our final dawn
A civilization gone
And so he moves on
To another world
To feed upon
An endless void
Countless souls deployed
To the nothingness
That is the black of space
Galactus draws near
Bringer of death
He merely seeks a meal
Zen La must not fall in his grasp
No world will ever be his last
I trade my freedom
For my kind
I leave my mortal past
To set Galactus’ path
And steer him towards
Only lifeless worlds
My home is safe
But I may never return
I am banished to serve
The destroyer
Why do I toil
Where are my memories
How many years
Eons of suffering
There is no future
I must break free
I am a slave to no man
I know your size
I will fight you
I am awake
I will no longer feed you
I fear no Gods
I will fight you

I’m moderately good at everything
But I don’t get paid for anything
I’m mostly just hovering
No catalyst, slowly aging
I went to college
I got a worthless degree
And instead of smithing words
I’m bringing you something to eat
Where does the line get drawn
You live the dream until it’s gone
Working for tips and minimum wage
Where does the line get drawn
You live the dream until it’s gone
If it felt nice, you didn’t do it wrong
We break front teeth
And like us they stay broke too
Two spikes in the throat! Two spikes in the throat!
And a finger pointed straight at you
I need a mustache
A Tom Sellick; Freddy’s mane
My dad’s hands, my dad’s face
Our “adult” is not the same
I will fight no wars
I will not ride
On a submarine
Cause it’s less likely that I’ll die
No, I’ll collide
With a purpose, in due time
Late blooming and left behind
Stubbornly alive
Is there a timeframe?
Then I reject it
This is my cruising speed
Take all the time you need
My time is mostly free
Of things that nag at me
There was a timeframe
But I defected
How long ‘til I regret it?
We break front teeth
And like us they stay broke too
Two spikes in the throat! Two spikes in the throat!
And a finger pointed straight at you
I need a mustache
Like Burt Reynolds, damn it! Flame!
A symbol that I’m a man
Something classic I still can’t obtain

Where is the push?
All I feel is pull
One sided energy
Depleting constantly
Until the pile is overwhelming
And so it pours again
The steering rack is thrashed
There'll be no turning
That cloud of smoke
Is money burning
Where are you, Spirit Bear?
I need your wisdom here
My vision is not clear enough
To set a path
Or plan an attack
Or dig myself out of this trash
It is the damndest thing
But it too shall pass
Either through or around
And out of my grasp
Though the days
May swelter us
Red and frayed
The nights can never
Be hot enough
To keep us down
Or out of the lake

I’m tormented by my dreams
They give me tastes of what I need
But never seem to achieve
In her face I saw the love of women I had known
One sided and unrequited lusts best left alone
But here they’d found a single form, and I gallantly obeyed
Dancing, pulling ever closer, transfixed inside her gaze
Until I came up for air
In an empty bed, reeling
From the greatest days I’d ever live
Or the approximate feeling
My body ached with an instant withdrawal
Every bitter waking moment grasping to recall
What I’d lost, what I’ve never had, what doesn’t exist
A congregate of felled desire begging me to resist
And never come up for air
