Suffering does not equal value
Merit is left to interpret
You're just as bad as those you say you're not
Guilty without any regret
Here I am inside the center
Precarious nature of truth
Try to agree which lie is right this time
Without the burden of proof
I don't want to be Uroboros
So shed your skin and keep your big mouth closed
Evening doesn't spite the afternoon
In doing so it would arrive too soon
Can't bend backwards enough
Snap my spine in two
Hard to tell who is the fool
Can't bend backwards enough
Snap my spine in two
That's what they want me to do
Oh, we have to clean each others soiled sheets
If ever we're to get a good nights sleep
But we're running towards another Fall
I can see the future after all
Now you're swinging your double-edged sword
Inadvertently cutting yourself
Complain about the violence of words
While blame your bleeding on somebody else

Drawn and Quartered

Hold me down and cover my dreams
With your insecurity
I turned on the lights and learned
Free will is buried safely underground
How does all this salvation work
When everyone's a goddamn martyr
Will we ever know
We're drawn and quartered
We take turns at the whipping post
Cracking and bleeding out our pain
We make ghosts of what we thought our life would be
Perpetuate the second guess
Ensure the never-ending change
Of fragile expectations
For all we know
Mark the body
Create borders
Volunteer
To be drawn and quartered now
They ripped my heart out of my hands
And wrung the last drop dry
Then said it's easier this way
They sucked my brain out of my head
And left me stupefied
Then said it's easier to wait
They ripped my heart out of my hands
And wrung the last drop dry
Then said it's easier this way
They sucked my brain out of my head
And left me stupefied
Then said we'll lay your soul to waste

My luck
Keeps up
Now what
Not much
Fishing
Hunting
Keep up
Nothing
Now I'm sifting through time
You want to tie to me to crimes and lies
Seems so obvious to me
The con focusing
I was the intended target all along
My luck
Runs out
Feels like
I'm stuck
See, now a lot has been centered on
A golden prize that's a tease
Who'd send the wrong message
To watch it fail
To watch it crumble down to the ground
This bread has become stale in my mouth
And the circus tents no longer come to town
This sordid mercy came too early
There's no way I'm bowing now
Shaking my head towards the Land of Nod
With all reverence I pray to God
Trade stigmata for atonement upon
Seraphim and cherubim will lead me to the gates somehow

Lantern

A keepsake for all your dreams
Save them like butterfly wings
Be open to everything
Roses as far as you can see
Life will sometimes be hard
Let love make it easier
Chaos misunderstood
Sacred jester a king among fools
Swim in pools of gratitude
Suffer not the arrows for you
Because life can sometimes be hard
Let love make it easier
And life can sometimes get dark
Let love be your lantern
It's not that experience stalks you
It's that you pray to get to
Because life can sometimes be hard
Let love make it easier
And life will sometimes get dark
Let love be your lantern

Hungry for authenticity
Invisible tools
A song for a rattlesnake
A song for a rattlesnake
And I'm slapped with a stare
Feasting on uncertainty
Banquet of fools
There's a bomb upon my plate
There's a bomb upon my plate
And I'm strapped to the chair
I'm really trying here but I just can't take any more
Swallowing ambiguity
Volcano of rules
Safe passage only complicates
Safe passage only complicates
And I'm smacked with despair
I'm really trying here but I just can't take any more
Walls are closing in
And I just can't take any more
I'm really trying here but I just can't take any more
Walls are closing in
And I just can't take any more

Dead City

They shuffle along in a foggy denial
A heavy weight unclear
Beyond the veil I travel far
Though silly I seem surprised I'm here
But what have I got to lose
Familiar with the abuse
I'm half alive in a dead city
And I don't know how long I'll survive
You're picking up the same old, tired lines
But time has wasted mine
C'mon let's go
I say it's much easier than being tangled in this web
What have you got to lose
The sky has already fallen on you
You're half alive in a dead city
And you don't know how to put out the lights
Caught an isolated glimpse
Of what the shell of a ghost is like
Willing to bet, I guarantee you
That two wrongs don't make a right
You're half alive in a dead city
and I don't know how long you'll survive
Look what you've gone and done to yourself
Look what you've gone and done to yourself
We're half alive in a dead city
And we don't know how to put out the lights
Caught an isolated glimpse
Of what the shell of a ghost is like
Willing to bet, I guarantee you
That two wrongs don't make a right
We're half alive in a dead city
And I don't know how long we'll survive

It's such a shame that we
Can't just let things be
Feet firmly planted in clouds
Head buried deep in ground
What is missing
What seems elusive
The joy that life once was
And the fear that it's gone
Harbor resentment
Blunt instrument
Holding back the rage
Everything will fade away
Live to consume
Consume to feed
Feed to fill
An endless pit
This is how memories are born
Make mistakes there's no scoreboard
Don't believe that boys don't cry
Don't you choose slow suicide
I wish I knew that you'd pull through
I wish I knew that you'd pull through
There's no guarantee this time
This is how memories are born
Make mistakes there's no scoreboard
Don't believe that boys don't cry
Don't you choose slow suicide
See your face in the water
See your face in the trees
See the face of everyone
Everyone you've ever loved...
At once
At once
At once
At once

Jason Waterfall Portland, Oregon
Art is a way to see the world and interpret it in a language that cannot be expressed through other, mundane means. There is some hope that the creation resonates with others and enhances their experience somehow, be it a positive, powerful message or a different perception of the nuances of daily life. ... more
