---------------------------------------------
Seep
=====
Breathing and bleeding
Aching and grieving
My hands are tied
As im kicked to my knees
Before my fate
Its dark iron glove
Strikes across my face
I wince but cannot cry out
And hide the hurt.
---(c)2002RaiffLor---

Wounds
-------------
Even a whisper of salt
is enough to sting me cold
Even a whisper of coldness
is enough to sting me like salt.
---(c)2002RaiffLor---


Tragic
======
Chained in deep
You'll never know
What i was
This cryptic hurricane
What unreal imortality
Branded me with
Suffering in slow motion
Ruined humanity
Walking wounded
Mute rage
Limousine glass mask
Intoxicated by chaos memories
And my emotions in violent rapids
You'll never know
The cruel and crumbled cities
The ruins of my soul
And the leaden sky.


Tragic.
-----(c)2002RaiffLor-------

Just wanted to share these lyrics with you. From Carnivore by Jewel
So much space can fit in a sigh,
More than words can say.
Im left here with my hands all awkward,
Trying to win space.
I used to know you,
But not any more.
Youre substance has been subtracted,
Word by word.


"untitled"
Memories unwind
Dance with fire
Burn their cruel laugh
Carnivore embers
Communication conspiracy
And the broken blindfold.

Perpetual
------------
Run the gauntlet day after day
Deep breath
Eyes forward
Add more injuries to the pile
To deal with
Exhausted
At night
Scarce rest
Until dawn
Ready..?
Go!
--(c)copyright2002RaiffLor

TEMPER
-----------
Savage rage that breathes inner flames
Still i mute my consequences
Such twists of fate
That ravage
That desecrate
Tarnish and brand
With the deep sad sickness
As i tear my eyes
From scenes i have seen a thousand times
In my thousand centuries
Such tragic knowledge
I go to sleep afraid to die
I wake up afraid to live
Still combat continues
To maintain my balance.
(c)2002


Mordant Mettle
--------------------
Pistols at dawn
But its yourself you shoot
Youve ripped the price tag
From your own carcass
Abused it
Deep in unconscious escapement
Poison your pain.
-------(c)copyright2002RaiffLor------

Wretched Sight
---------------
Lost in vision of what i see again
Repeating and striking
With the same old sting
I cant disconnect
From the darkness attatched
To always, all that was
And forever
Spiralling tapestry of unreal mortality
Chained by circumstance
To cold empty torment
Held against my will
Forced to see theese visions
Im lost in again.
--(c)2002Raiff Lor--

Destroyers
----------
I cant stand your overactions
To me living
Doing what i have to do
Mum, dont you know im ashamed of everything im not
Everything i cant be
That the hurt i call my own
Is attatched deep in me
For always and forever
The tragedies of my scars you cant see
You dont have to watch or bear the suicide of what might be left of me
Thats not poisoned, ruined
Consumed by overwhelming sadness
With little or no hope of relief
To be trapped inside
Irrepressible sadness
With its carnivore satisfaction
And i dont have the tools to fix me
I cant find them anywhere.....
--(c)copyright2002RaiffLor--

Fragments of Sleep
--------------------
Im tired and its late
Its been a long day
Physically and emotionally draining
But im driven to write about it
I cant get any of my thoughts in order
I just want to rest.


Let me sleep
I plead with the dawn light
Another day i have to face
Another fight that will drain me
I just want to rest.
--(c)2002RaiffLor--

Thorn
-------

Its hard to make sense of all of this
How your knife in my heart(again!) was such a near miss
I closed my tear filled eyes as i walked out the door
Was driven i should say
To return no more
I had no choice
Had to save whats left of me
Reclaim my life, my individuality
I should have known better
Known i dont need you to prove my worth, my value
I made my escape from your noose
And im relieved
(and so is my neck!)

2004-11-01 [Raiff]: *lop-sided grin*
