asylum dogs

are we fighting heat
or are we just trying to
close the door down
on our on demons?

your darkness is not calming.
it's dull, boring.
you are the act I have seen
five hundred times on screen.

how can you manage
this insane de-humanization
and can't handle
a simple life intervention?

check who pulls back
the strings around your hands.
see if the shadow you saw as yours
starts answering back.

if you can't live without a mask
it seems pretty clear to me
you can't stand your scars.
you don't know who you are.

possum

drown me young, I
have not seen a person
in this world saying
life is worth living

drown me young, for
you are my only escape
and without you
there's nothing to take

who sees behind the broken
glass, the earth and the sun?
I haven't seen much yet,
and it's probably enough

we are what we breed
I'm terrified of the future, please
kill me,
before it happens that I leave

a trail that carries
whatever I believe in
a mind that embraces
the rage inside me

what will be the image?
the long lost faith
I once had
exhausted in my own hands

who sees behind the broken
glass, the earth and the sun?
I haven't seen much yet,
and it's probably enough

I don't need a life
if it's not with you
my hands are tied.

drown me young.
drown me young.
drown me young.
