Hunger

Hunger I felt
that summer of sweat.
Defeated I knelt,
ambitions unmet.
Hunger I lived,
my soul-sad unending.
A slow-motion grief -
Move on without mending.
Dig your Hunger.
Dig your Grief.
Dig your Soul-Sad.
Dig Defeat.
Dig your Hunger.
Dig Incomplete.
Dig your Life
and dig the heat.

Steady streaming past the window, they stay outside.
Steady streaming past my shadow, I stay inside.
Green from the weight of my solitary state,
I sink into myself towards a solitary fate.
Yellow from the fear of the others so near,
staring blank at fickle feet that, skittish, walk away from me.
Fall into a black hole.
Sink into your sad soul.
Cower in a cold fright.
Waste away your sad life.

Matter changes state, evaporates and dissipates;
I'm still here, just not the same.
Brittle bones will break, and fragile friends fade.
What's left is a future we've made.
Sleeping or awake, I talk just the same;
Somehow words will escape.
Surface tension breaks, and frustration fades.
What's left is no reason to stay.
Home Sweet Home the Past,
there's something that I lack.
Sleeping or awake, it feels just the same:
like I'll drown in dead space.
Brittle shell will break, and laughter will fade.
What's left is the egg on my face.
Home Sweet Home this fence,
where I'll sit and sulk and wince.
Matter changes state, evaporates and dissipates;
I'm still here just not the same.

What vicious maniac, sadistic canine and cruel?
My visage peering back, a glass image hypocrite fool!
Reflecting shadows cast, the mirror's truth has been told:
These teeth are fangs in fact, but still I pretend I don't know.
I don't wanna see. Pretend it's not me. I don't wanna see, can't admit what I've seen. I've gotta believe. Cuz if it's me then it's ME. No it's not!
At first ignore, deny, cover your eyes from this hell.
Next make up reasons why. They brought it all on themselves.
An awful fount of lies to justify this disease.
A muffled conscience cries, the truth denied by the beast.
I don't wanna see.

I was in a swimming pool. I tried to touch the bottom. But I was young, and I was small, and I couldn't hold my breath that long.
So does that mean the bottom wasn't there? Does that mean I'll always be a scared little kid?
I was driving in my shitty car. I almost caused an accident - cuz I was young, and I was high, and I drove through a stop sign.
So does that mean I'm a bad person? Does that mean I'll always be a dumb little shit?

Dust

Breath your dust.
Where have you been?
Take this slow.
Need to rest.
Let this sink in:
we all go.
Feeling only saps your strength.
Fleeting nothings fill the day.
Self-inflicted silence saves.
Lead a life no one can claim.
Fumbling forward is the way.
Every plan will soon decay.
We're satellites alone in space,
there's nothing else to say.
