The stone of nehemiah
Blood soaks the stolen landscape
Labyrinth of memories
Broken glass reflecting
Oh shell that I have left behind
For my loathsome solitude
Creature of habit lies before me
Demon of greed follows suit
The shadow that always follows
Lovers returning from the sea
Tales of death they assume
As my being recedes into the caverns of my soul
The bloodshed, the burial
These body filled catacombs
Existing within me
My deepest longing
(cast upon the stones)
Passion is dead
Wrapped in plastic
Hung and bled
Can you forgive me
(the husk that i am)
My loveless soul
The husk that i am
What defines my character?
Am I beyond salvation?
[spoken word]
This monster I’ve built
This man of clay
Deceives his lover
Her heart betrayed
Farewell my friend
Stone golem of hate
Sorrow returns me
With the tide I weep
