[riverwordsounds]

I really hope that the afterlife is just an afternoon on the beach with my family and my dog where no one really notices that time isn’t passing. We just play together and no one is afraid of our time running out.

[riverwordsounds]

No one stopped me out on the road

So I ended up where I was always bound to go

Your absence, the pain my heart still knows

From before I lost friends and collected foes

Now I don’t have the words to prove

That for all these years my hearts not moved

And that I’m no closer to accepting fate

Drunk on fear and dumb from hate

[riverwordsounds]

[riverwordsounds]

My failure is always in proportion to my ambition. It’s the hope that things will get better that harms me more than anything else.

[riverwordsounds]

Joke’s on me

the alarm bell sounds

I sure can be gullible

I sure can feel bound

to the fate that’s unfolding

and refolding me

stuff me into a bottle

throw me into the sea

A letter on the waves

but whose paper got ripped

Time shifted your font

Till the meaning got flipped

and the salt water stains the same

down where it dripped

If it feel from my eye

or it feel from your lips

[riverwordsounds]

No one waits behind the door

I am my own boogeyman

sneaking up on myself when I least expect it

making haste with the tools

if were they ever one moment neglected

Fear can evaporate the water slowly collected

Or burn down the walls painstakingly erected

And I’m there in a moment afraid to breath in

Or to wake from its slumbers the wages of sin

You can’t count the breaths of a life that never begins

Or share farewells with a dream that perceives not it’s end

[riverwordsounds]

Say a prayer for all the things I will never be

[riverwordsounds]

It’s a struggle, one of seven I will know this week

And when they are done all I have built may lay here at my feet

If I am strong I’ll make it there and will not fall asleep

Or dare resent the shriveled harvest that the sower reaps
