Deadly Antagonism (Miss Your Nemesis)

Goliath, colossus with feet of fleece
 
A man like me is only defined by his reflection in his enemy’s eyes
Every david needs his Goliath, to stand tall and follow a path
That hatred molded
 
All I know, all I see, is the ill-fated irony
What more could I ask for ?
You were my reflection on smoked mirror
That lies now broken on the floor   
 
The antithesis of myself as the media said, just tell me why, a part of me died with you, that night
Facing you was an endless combat with my image against the stained glass
The perfect symmetry and deadly antagonism
 
The final hit exploded it, shattering you to pieces leaving me here next to a wall, opaque and mute
You were the one, the scale of all evils were tipped on but 6 feet underground, both our legacies fade and rust.
 
I dreamt this day and pictured your fall, in every possible ways and wicked scenarios
 
You were a Russian puppet, trapped inside something bigger than you; your legacy ate you from the inside out.
                                                          
All I know, all I see, is the ill-fated irony
What more could I ask for ?
You were my reflection on smoked mirror
That lies now broken on the floor
 
Is this what winning feels like? With the bitter taste of victory stuck in my throat,
I’m struggling
Is this what winning feels like, Goliath

Siren's Strain

Carve a line in stone instead of drawing in the sand
Prevent the tide of progress to wash it all away

As giant monsters come to die on the shore, 
For everyone to glare, for everyone to fear and stare

I see our human condition, encapsulated in a rusty snow globe
A microcosm, an Easter Island tragedy bis

The sirens are singing to lure us in
Like moths to flames
In our world, they’re ringing
Anyway it seems the end is near
When will our pride stop leading us by

For a hundred years my name was feared
My wrath and greatness torn the seas
What was my playground is now my grave
For I am just a white washed name

We’re all made of sand, what we cherish what we own
From the flea sized chip to the mile-high glass house

Our cities growing, the Empire’s spreading
The foundations of man are built on quicksand

I cannot wait to see you bleed
Amnesty please’ you’ll scream
Pour you down the drain, I will
See it all collapse like a house of cards
On thin ice for centuries you’ve lied

The sirens are singing to lure us in
Like moths to flames
But in our world, they’re ringing
Either ways it seems the end is near 
When will our pride stop leading us by?

Empathy is a raft lost at sea

How long will this all last
Until the sea takes it all back?

Where the ocean meets the sky
That’s where, the answer lies

We’re all made of sand, what we cherish what we own
It takes an outside eye to see how blessed and ignorant we are
Sailing adrift

The Curse

Suffer, is such an empty word, an anemic notion
Compared to what I endure day after day
I am the one, who hear the lies and feel the cries
Like cuts of blades and ice deep within my mind
 
What the fuck, have the stars done?
For when I was born, I was in their sights
Why cursing me with the gift of sight?
 
No point in knowing the truth
If you can’t change the facts
 
If only I could stop the voices by cutting off my ears
Or rip out my eyes to prevent these visions I fear
 
No point in knowing the truth
Its all for nothing
If you can’t change the facts
Like living in a future past
 
Nothing can heal the sadness
Of witnessing a tragedy no less than twice
 
And all the eyes, of my peers are divided between 
The haters, the non-believers and the followers
I try to push it back inside, as if the choice was mine
What should I expect from life? It’s the only thing I can’t forecast
 
Hope, trust and love are for the dead
I’ve seen enough to know we’re damned
 
Under oath I will, spit my truths at the world
What I used to care for, now feeds my apathy
I am the voice of the fallen, not knowing yet, not fearing yet
I’m just a slave of fate, a messenger to the maker’s will
 
No point in screaming my truths
If I can’t heal the wounds
 
I refuse, to keep on living this way
This is not a life, this is a stride
 
What the fuck, have the stars done
For when I was born, I was in their sights
