  • Watching as these so called saints begin, to march,
    again...
    Watching as these so called saints begin, to march,
    right in...
    Raising of arms into the sky,
    to say they're blessed...
    selected holy men/
    To justify...the means...
    no end

    What the hell have we done to one another.
    What ever happened to to helping,
    to loving in one another.
    What the hell have we done to one another.
    What ever happened to words of forever.
    Thought we cried at Lennon's words;
    Promised to be shared between one another.
    Tell me again how that story goes...
    remember the middle,
    can't look past the end...
    Can't say we've tried our best.
    Now can...we, my so...called friend

    It's tried
    it's tested
    it's true
    can't get out of this alive when it's all done and through
    I'm tried
    I'm tested
    I'm through
    sure can't stare back blankly at what's been discovered here

    I see them marching down the street...
    again
    I sense we'll meet in the middle, despite
    regrets...
    Holding faith in ones we hurt,
    the ones who did...
    the same.
    Bare your arms,
    mount our...
    defense.

    And when we're out of breath,
    we'll hold no more in
    Crashing, thrashing they'll make us bleed.
    Strong willed,
    we can't
    concede

    Shoved off the pavement
    'Cause a holy man approaches.
    Says he is the truth and we...
    Listen.

    Told of what is going on
    By men who haven't heard.
    Told to beleive in this...
    Bullshit.
  • Stop
    holding hand in hand in hand
    bent to see a crimson sky
    letting passion slip on by
    given traits just don't subside
    Stop
    placing me within another world
    or perched atop a pedestal
    Go
    just never let your feelings show
    to take your time
    but never know
    to hold your own
    to trust no one
    or leap on in
    the pain to feel
    that your not yourself
    none of this is real
    and what's been told
    will all all unfold
    to our naked eyes
    contempt revealed
    The only thing I enjoy is having no feelings....being numb rocks!

  • look
    take a glance
    sense just what we can see
    to touch the hands that reach for me
    outstretched
    here for some comforting

    we've got this plight
    a righteous feel
    and when it hurts this much
    that's our appeal
    to hold on tight
    and not let go
    I cleanse myself
    within the lives he doesn't hold
    and I take my place
    to beat the lines

    See
    there's never a point in comforting
    handing out what people want
    holding back on what the really need
    tides of change might take suffering
    the price we pay
    do we really seek point B to be

    can't stand this site
    sight so hard to see
    so I take my steps
    and I beg to feel
    need something to hold
    and if it hurts too much
    then I must reveal
    don't want your grace

  • Edit:

    look
    take another little glance
    sense now just what we can see
    to touch the hands that reach for me
    outstretched
    here to convey some sympathy

    we've got this plight
    yeah a righteous feel
    and when it hurts this much
    that's our appeal
    to hold too tight
    to not let go
    I cleanse myself
    within lives he does not hold
    and I take my place
    to beat the lines

    See
    there's never a point in comforting
    handing out when people plead
    holding back what's really the need
    tides of change are wet with grief
    the price we pay
    to seek point B

    can't stand this site
    sight so hard to see
    so I take my steps
    and I beg to feel
    well I yearn to hold
    and if it hurts too much
    well I'll stand my ground
    and see this ship down
    as it fades away
    yeah I must reveal
    I don't want your grace
    hey i must concede
    I'm not here for comforting
    I don't need your comforting
    I don't seek your comforting

    wait
    the comfort is insecurity
    sympathy is smothering
    it drives me mad
    and it warps my will
    it clouds my mind
    as it sinks on in
    got this crazy urge to kill
    and I take these steps
    to set me free
    but I hold on tight
    to how the world feels
    cuz I can't go back
    if it's all revealed
    so I'll dig this hole
    as I concave
    and it's so complex
    to show just how I feel
    but I'll let go
    once I've built this room

    Stopping to see a view
    bewildered
    a little bit more confused
    stopping to set self renewed
    so humbled
    left bitter, battered and bruised
    fall from the mountain top
    back to you pedestal

    so enter the fire
    lord
    so so much higher
    no
    I can show me
    can you show you
    I can reveal
    and revel in another to
    can you ponder
    can you believe
    have you searched
    I have low to high
    no
    I see nothing to

    in this dim light
    bleaching moonlight
    stars have crumbled
    leaving a crimsoned view
    in this dim light
    the crest is broken
    leaving dankened
    promising vigor renewed

    sever your ties
    lust of promise
    to find yourself fulfilled
    so much for freewill
    unto whom's accord
    surrender passions
    they lead to confusion
    feed that monster
    suppressing that's good

    Wandering
    I pace the streets alone
    I can't blame you
    it's all on me
    this is my own shame

    the day's sweet air surrounds me
    still I feel so frigid...
    bitter, broken...
    shivering right to the bone

    begging for one touch
    a simple grace for me to memorize
    a pleasant thought to grasp a hold to
    track my path to the exiting
    one last night, before I disappear

    this one prayer will last forever
    no nothing can spin this undone
    healing prayers that hold me to the light
    ease the aching,
    providing hope,
    perhaps my warmth can be rekindled one more time

  • Really hurt myself this time
    I climbed up high
    Oh how I hit the ground
    Passing forth in misconceiving games
    To stand my place
    Love to use the cheating plays

    This it seems
    The only way
    To try so hard
    To meet the grave
    This it seems
    The way it’s played
    To face the world
    Crumble in your own way

    To step the steps that it might take
    Go seek the way
    Seek your own way out
    Seems to me some grand design
    I failed again
    What’s one more time
    I’ll disconnect
    I will recline

    This it seems

  • yes I am leaving
    no sitting
    no waiting

    digging my own damn grave
    three feet deep

    I have my reasons
    haven't any need to explain

    what once I waved that flag for

    briefest meaning
    oh well they do say
    life's for breathing
    expressions free wheeling
    Hey hey hey hey
    life without dreaming
    one in the same
    exist without reaching
    struggle's the game
    mmm
    hold on to something
    make it worth feeling
    Hey hey hey hey

    express your flower
    spreading wings
    to live in a moment

    are you my
    my one sweet lady
    I cry
    made up just like a baby
    tonight
    I sing my song
    and scream and maybe
    try to recognize
    what I have seen
    what's passed of me before

    I swim
    I sink
    just like a stone
    and it drives me
    it makes me go crazy
    just like a mime

    hey hey hey hey

    please give power
    inside of me
    we empower
    can't take no more
    nay nay hey hey
    maybe timid
    intimidated
    not weaker now
    than I was before
    a hidden strength
    I know how to soar
    yay yay hey hey

    I won't crumble
    threw crutch away

    morbid in it's own special little way
    Light shines through, beams of desperation
    begging to light the path of another day.

    Heavy contemplation and endless fears
    That total lack of knowledge
    only to know anew is here

    you take your steps
    the steps you hate
    hate to love
    but sense the fate
    for what will come
    it won't last long
    it tears your seams
    it frustrates to the end

    calling you in

    go and now sabotaging

    it's back around so near again
    sense a resurging
    resurgance within
    it tingles, it's here

    criticizing
    and I
    feel it diving
    feel it diving
    say what you want
    say what you will
    its all indifferent

    Can't just can't wait
    for this feeling that I hate
    providing me delivery
    try try your will
    does it still bring a little thrill
    holding dear to the song
    the won that tricks you all along
    feel the beating in you heart
    know nobody ever really won

    escape
    to bitter seasons of sun
    we wait
    for sensibility to come our way

    sacrificing all responsibility

    can't just can't hate
    when I'm slipping at the last of faith
    does it make feel all better
    to try try your will
    does it still bring a little thrill
    holding dear to the song
    when inside you know its wrong
    feel the beating in you heart
    know nobody ever really won

    nothing seems to calculate

  • I have over time been asked about this one a bit in the thread and in PM...think I am now at a place I am ready/willing to explain it all.
    I denounce your temporal plane
    Transgressions and faults require at least one day
    I close eyes to the Unions ritual Decree
    Why cant you just tell us all
    That we should live free

    Don’t portray false messages
    From the unbirthed Ghost
    Thoughts of Temporal lashings
    Hurt the most

    Evil lurks behind those pure eyes
    Why repent sins against son of man
    While Spirit defaced throws away the lamb
    Is this His discipline
    Or a controlling façade
    Eating bread
    From sweat of brow
    Do all before Him
    Be condemned by God

    This might be
    A mortal sin
    Seems so venial
    At best
    Deep within

    Free your body
    Mind and soul
    Drink the blood
    Ass you grow old

    Before my living
    Can commence
    Holy Eucharist Sacrament
    But when you kneel
    And then repent
    If you die you’ll stay above
    But without feast
    Will He show His love

    this piece is about Purgatory and a child's place within it. I have never wanted to divulge that for 2 reason. A – I thought it might hurt people to hear that, and if it does I do greatly apologize...believe me the very thought hurts me to...explained by B – a number of years ago I was with a girl who ended up losing a newborn. This was all obviously very painful...the rage, discontent, sadness, bitterness and gloom was rather all-consuming and was the single biggest factor in shaping the rest of my life (a close second was a bad car accident in which I had to hold a dying friend on the side of the road and ended up being the only survivor...i have posted that somewhere here before).

    As I have mentioned before, I converted to Catholicism...and well, it was to be with this very girl. I was extremely lost and confused, and because I had just went through the process of converting, the teachings were very fresh in my mind (this particular priest was old school...made you study and what not to convert...the way it was historically supposed to be achieved). I turned to the priest to discuss the matter and confessed that I was confused what would happen to the child as they had never completed sacrament of reconciliation, and Catholic Doctrine stated that confession was a requirement for access to heaven. I said it did not make a lot of sense to me, because surely the child had never sinned, apart from the fact that it had never been afforded the opportunity to meet the conditions of God's grace. I asked if this would be considered a sin...more specifically I asked if it would be a mortal sin. He said that it would not be a Mortal Sin, but would 'obviously' be Venial. This sent me irate! I asked what that meant...the child had not practiced reconciliation, and had Venial Sins, so this would mean Purgatory....he agreed. So this meant that this innocent child would need to go to Purgatory for Temporal cleansing!

    Now, Purgatory is a temporal plane somewhere between heaven and hell. Some souls go straight to Heaven (very few), some go straight to Hell (ei Mortal Sinners), and some are simply deemed to not yet be pure enough to pass through the pearly gates. They therefore go to Purgatory to be lashed free of their sins. This is an indeterminate amount of time...some may be there for eternity attempting to be cleansed, some a very brief stay...it is all dependent on the sins, quantity of and the soul's ability to truly repent.

    So, this child had apparently never sinned greatly enough to go to Hell, but was not allowed access to Heaven...this leaves Purgatory for eternity. Now, oddly enough, in the past couple years the Catholic Church (Vatican) set forth to give better definition of Purgatory, but I am not sure if that redefinition was ever completed or released...I know I have not read it, and don't think I ever will.

    Anyways, that is the really really really quick overview of where this all came from....thought I would break it all apart a bit now.


    I denounce your temporal plane
    --- I think Purgatory is bullshit /flawed / unjust

    Transgressions and faults require at least one day
    --- The sins that place one in Purgatory surely can not be acquired at birth, even though I do realise that technically confession must take place

    I close eyes to the Unions ritual Decree
    --- The ritual decree of Batism, Confrimation and Eucharist are requirements to gain God's grace...I call it a union, because there a few...so union = group

    Why cant you just tell us all
    That we should live free
    --- just kind of saying you give us free will, even though we do not have it. Free will does not have conditions bound to it.


    Don’t portray false messages
    --- touching on the fact that his teachings tell us that if we don't sin and we stay pure that heaven awaits, that if we idolize Him and try to live in His all pure image that we get in...again, this is not free will...it is do as you are told or else.

    From the unbirthed Ghost
    --- unbirthed Ghost = Holy Ghost...it was never really “born” per say

    Thoughts of Temporal lashings
    Hurt the most
    --- Purgatory is supposedly a Temporal plane of existence where transgressions are beaten and burned out of your soul


    Evil lurks behind those pure eyes
    --- God's is the purist form (viewing from behind pure eyes), and for aforementioned reasons, I see don't agree with Purgatory in its entirety...almost evil

    Why repent sins against son of man
    --- we are supposed to confess/repent our sins, venial sins are what need cleansing in Purgatory

    While Spirit defaced throws away the lamb
    --- It is like God feels smited because the sacraments were not done, and now he is going to toss away one of his children/lamb because of it. I also often envision/associate a lamb with babies/youth. I also kinda see God as viewing us as his sheep...his heard to follow him

    Is this His discipline
    Or a controlling façade
    --- Is this really all him, or is it made up bs from someone trying to give depth to the faith. Purgatory, from what I have read, has only been a part of the Catholic doctrine for around 1000 years.

    Eating bread
    From sweat of brow
    Do all before Him
    Be condemned by God
    --- Eucharist is like accesses to Catholic Christianity...it is viewed as “the” big sacrament so to speak...Holy Communion...2nd sacrament of the 7 (Baptism, Eucharist, Reconciliation, Confirmation, Marriage, Holy Orders/Ordination, Last Rites). Part of the Eucharist/Communion process that many are familiar with is the breaking and distribution of sacramental bread at the alter...the bread representing the resurrection of Christ, and the breaking and sharing of the bread symbolizes unity. So, back to the whole thing that if you don't partake in the sacraments, First Communion being but one of them, that God is condemning you...could be Hell, in this case Purgatory. Bread of course being from the last supper.


    This might be
    A mortal sin

    --- Mortal sins are sins that are severe, done knowingly and deliberately via the sinner...reference the 10 commandments...plus faith, hope and charity. “You shall have no other gods before me ”... the First Commandment...or maybe the third...”You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain” my very words would be viewed as a Mortal Sin. By saying that they seem venial it is a shot a god, as venial sins are forgivable. So, it is trivializing my so called mortal sin. 'Seems so trivial, at best, deep within' is saying me denouncing you over Purgatory may be a mortal sin, but can you really blame me in this situation? Yeah, I know...it is a test...I am supposed to say it is a part of God's greater plan, that I am supposed to have blind faith in this situation and pray to him for guidance in this time of despair. Guess I failed Him and his test huh.


    Free your body
    Mind and soul
    Drink the blood
    Ass you grow old
    --- the act of attending Mass and taking Communion/ Eucharist...just using that as a generalization that we are to continue worshiping Him and only Him to gain access (remember, not doing so is a Mortal sin...so don't take that chance boys and girls). I guess I see that you essentially freeing body, mind and soul via Eucharist and confession. You are cleansing your venial sins if you truly are repenting (saving some pain in Purgatory)...the blood is a representation of the wine at communion, which is a representation the wine from the last supper and also Jesus' blood (you know...the whole thing about Christ saying he is of pure vine (his soul is pure because he is one in the same...a piece...of god), he therefore turns water to wine because the bread and wine were made from a piece of him...so it transforms his body to bread and his blood transforms water to wine and he feasts with the disciples).


    Before my living
    Can commence
    Holy Eucharist Sacrament
    --- in other words be careful to do shit before you take communion

    But when you kneel
    And then repent
    If you die you’ll stay above
    --- and do it often because it will help you ass out in purgatory.

    But without feast
    Will He show His love
    --- so basically if you don't take communion, and follow structured sacraments, the Catholic Church is saying God kinda looks at you as a lamb for the slaughtering. Many other religions state that you are to keep Him in your heart, and that showing up at the church is not always a requirement...that you can worship him from anywhere...I mean hey, the 4th commandment says to “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your manservant, nor your maidservant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.” it says nothing about having to go to a church to for Eucharist...but you don't make money if the flock is not there now do you? The Catholic Church is, in my eyes, abusive of it authority on so many levels. I have no issues with religion per say, but follow the scripture you preach from.



    I obviously have issues with the Catholic Church and its doctrines. I don't agree with their definition of most things, nor how they do little things like tricking you into having to come for communion to repent, just to get you in the door so to speak. I am all for the 5th commandment on, but the first 4...not how the Catholic Church spins them.

    I call myself a Christian, and I can't imagine the God you were taught about. This is the god I imagine:

    http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?se ... ersion=GNT

    Mark 10:13-16 (Good News Translation)

    JESUS BLESSES LITTLE CHILDREN
    Some people brought children to Jesus for him to place his hands on them, but the disciples scolded the people. When Jesus noticed this, he was angry and said to his disciples, "Let the children come to me, and do not stop them, because the Kingdom of God belongs to such as these. I assure you that whoever does not receive the Kingdom of God like a child will never enter it." Then he took the children in his arms, placed his hands on each of them, and blessed them.

    P.S. You've had some really difficult things to deal with in your life. I am wishing you healing and happiness.

    OK, so I read all that, but I thought I would edit it here because I just wanted to ask you a quick question, and I'm sure you remember your own history.

    Where are you at now with your beliefs? I would be very interested to know. I have always just 'felt' Christian, but in the last couple of years I have really started to questions things (not that I haven't questioned things all along, but I have never questioned my belief in God). Yet I still know that deep down I must believe, because, when it felt like there was nothing, I prayed.

    I believe in basic Christian fundamentals, but, when it comes down to it the only thing I really truly 100% believe in from the testaments is Matthew 7:12.

    I actively follow no religion. I am one with science, and thus my religion is reasoning which can be substantiated.

    I believe that inner peace comes from a self controlled balance and the ability to separate one's self from a situation and look at said situation through observers eyes. In other words, if you were a bystander seeing a given situation, how would you look upon it.

    I believe that everything in life requires balance, just as in nature. If you build a house from wood, nature must be restored. If you hurt someone, you must make amends. If you see someone in need, extend a hand. If you see someone who over indulges (greed) do not idolize. Thus, I believe the world is out of balance in a negative manner...not saying it is a bad place, just out of balance. If someone does something terribly bad, balance can only be restored by someone doing something terribly good.

    I believe wisdom comes from not only seeing you negatives, but balancing them. In doing so, your balance makes the world and the people around you better...more balanced.

    wow, this was a long time ago. Our little baby is about to start school next week and your thread is still active :)

    I always remember what you wrote here. It's one of the loveliest things I've ever 'heard' anyone say.

    Perhaps I should make it a Hallmark card :)
    haha
    I am glad to hear you liked it.

    I whisper
    To you my single everything
    Explore that world
    In constant astonishment
    To hold in hands
    Life so preciously
    To search my mind
    Bound with limp vitality

    I scream to skies
    To seek some remorse
    I pray within
    I try to release
    I need this more
    Than I’ve ever needed anything

    I beg for you
    Take me in place of thee
    I pray some more
    With my tearful symphony
    Please grant for me
    In clasping hands
    Hedging so incomplete
    Your place for sure
    Breath life
    Confirm vitality

    I scream to skies
    Is there a reward
    I pray within
    I search trough the stars
    I need this more
    Than life even means to me
    I need this more
    Without is there anything

    probably your most moving writing ever. So little words to convey so much. Yet another one that I am unwilling to write 'beautiful' for.


    really...hmmm....thanks
    Probably obvious what it is about, but is about a man sitting at a hospital bed watching his wife passing, and praying/pleading to God to take him in her place...that he would swap places in a heartbeat...that he loves her so much that he would sacrifice everything if it could save her
