Rise with the light
Toil and trample and reach for the night
Cry to the sky and I try to disguise
The weight of my eyelids and palpable fright
Forcing myself outside
Claw at my eyes
Dawn sears the skin dressed upon me by night
Cloaking my body with haze by my right
I couldn't bring myself to face the light
Forcing myself outside
Night falls,
Trees in their mocking
Point to a door
Blocked by my baggage
And all my ill-fitted pain.

The center spins out toward the edge
And I can nigh find respite from the night
Tied, bound from the inside
I find myself, shine-eyed, foolish wight, my life, lowly and trite
I cry nightmare, bleed out through my eyes
Dry skies, I would die, before I'd find the light
Sear my insides, prod me with a scythe
I might find my right, force myself outside
The center returns to the inside
I find wretched life, confide, then decide
Storm clouds cry the light, end eternal night
And I, wishful I, slumber with peaceful sigh.

Hearsay destruction
A tree falls on a wooded path
Sunlight pours down
In streams of a smoking wrath
Withered construction
Of bleeding bark and weeping roots
Come forth the buzzards
Tearing and gnashing at fleshy shoots
Feet step and splash in the blood soaked mud and I can't stand to look
And I can barely stand to look
Strychnine
Inside
Bleeding bark and weeping roots

Dawn
Anguish
Bargain
Acceptance
Like the sound of a trumpet blast.

At the sullen skies
I look with my wayward straining eyes
And see the sunlight peeking through
The bruised shapes form the outline of a man
Weeping and empty
Rain falls down in torrents
From the sullen eyes
Weeping and empty
The torrent falls
Bleeding ecstasy
I cannot tell if the man smiles or frowns
But I can tell his massive hands yearn for the sky
And I worship this shining angel before me
Pouring down torrential warmth
And I look upon myself with spite
For ever ignoring the wisdom
Of bleeding ecstasy.
