When Darkness Reigns - Project 86

My failure is so evident And I cannot hide the torment Face first to the earth Plagued by the earthly mindset I cannot escape my basement Face first to the earth Hands around my neck I might as well bow in shame Overmatched, outwitted Defeat is my only name I believe everything you tell me […]

1 X 7 - Project 86

One times seven equals heaven Traditions the creation of men Religion for the sake of religion Rituals the right of profession Clergies of ranks, the files and lines brainwash the sect for the mentally blind And now Babylon’s got a new name for those modern disguises to hide the shame It’s a choice between God […]

Bleed Season - Project 86

Trace the chalk and seize the day so Those old habits never pass away Commemerate the conception with The children’s debt the retribution Deaf to self and mute to mind to find muddled wallowing nebulous blind My crippled confidence chafed away Without the answers I’m cast astray My cloud’s so thick that I can barely […]

Six Sirens - Project 86

And now I sit in thought as the plot of my days commences, and I’m left with fences Put off the thoughts of my end so long to race to chase after the trend so fleeting Hours pass unsettled, unresolved my passions I scrape to win a new day to waste Misaligned priorities parallel my […]

Independence - Project 86

How does it feel to find yourself playing for the wrong team with the stakes so high? How does it feel to find yourself so blind to the sin youre hiding deep inside? Turn your back on the obvious facts and watch the city gnash and burn on you Oblivious to your only way out […]

Run - Project 86

Weakness is numbing my brain A lack of love for my life means more than the pain So erase those weak commitments No choice, no way I’m acquitted You’d better build another cross to hang another life My immeasurable gain is your loss So now run from the sights Disease infects the paths to birthrights […]

Stalemate - Project 86

I’ve sought so hard to sustain this gain Now watch me give this ground away What can I do but admit I’m in over my head? Colors fade from blue to dark red I’m back (sic) into a corner by my choices I’m hearing those same dark voices At the mercy of my desires helpless, […]

Pipe Dream - Project 86

Downhill downtrodden left a slave New day on the verge to find the gray Floors swing and slope downhill to bring Middle grounds set on wavering Two sides to flip and coax a brink Dealt an empty hand Opposed to delete any bridge to stand Polarized this side Shades display this trade Off to buy […]

Rebuttal - Project 86

The innocence robbed at early stage Bitterness allies for the cage Pain gives birth to pain And hope gets smudged with bloodstains Despise yourself to swell with pride and think your hatred will win the prize I smell a change with horizons A face in your path now gone It’s an attempt to deny You’d […]

Spill Me - Project 86

My back so full of scrapes With the miles I’ve walked of waste Fade and fall away against Numb my hunger to taste What’s the basis for change Excuses to feed my ego’s rage Cling to my comfort to clench Content with my sadistic wrench Find every reason not to kill The half way beast […]
