Zen of Carpentry

The Zen of Carpentry

With these tools carve your face,
with these lies you carve your fate,
with a smile, you carve your allies,
with a finger you carve your enemies.

="font-style: italic;">With error, you wrongfully cry out,
For with pain you craft magnificence.


 

They stand weathered

I trust the flow
For I swim in your sea
Your still waters
The liar sinks

Taprobane

Like a flower with war-torn petals,
Where the people live on cold showers and hot nights.
The sound of the wingless birds expelled from corroded cannons,
Will drive your flock away from sight.

To sift through the redenned grain seems a chore
To lay motionless in a pool of tears is much more than I can bare
I wait head-strong and patiently until the sounds of marching men fade, swallowed by the trees
To rise and take stock, and start all over again.

Everybodys watching me
Put away good morals and enter the flame
Everybodys haunting me
Tear away the curtains and throw it all in
This is how I want to live
Sonic ecstasy and a box of cigarettes
There isn't a care in my world
Casual blasphemy and a box of matches

Light the fire
Let it burn
The infamous flame
Hiding behind a paper shield
Let it surround me
Let it pull me
Deeper
Deeper still

 

Harakiri

As I shed a single tear,
While you remain silent at my feet.

I am everything you wished I would be as dawn paints the sky.
The world awakens as you kiss the soil.

The hour comes sweeping,
While you stay kneeling.

You pray that I will be as swift.

Goodbye my brother
I will see you again.
