R a i v y n . o n . B u z z n e t

On thorns I slept,
Cold and unmoving,
Waiting for the harsh rays
Of day to pass over us.
It was the only constant
In this equation,
The bitter truth we fear,
The fear that binds us,
The binds that hold us
From what we are.
Weary I am,
And may remain;
Dreary and dreadful
As I've ever been.
This isn't a farce,
This is reality.

Perhaps that is the poison
Of life itself,
Miasmic and ill-contained.
Or-
We are the victims
Of our own doing,
As I'd like to believe.
For how can we not
Conceive the notion
That fate does not
Play the tragedy card,
We drew it from the pile
And painted irony on its face.
We are the ultimate joke here,
The wittiest quip
In this anthology;
That's how I see it.

So take me as I am,
Both learned and naive,
I know my place
And time,
Difficult it is some days.
But prove me wrong
If you dare try,
For truth or conflict,
I don't mind.
It's all the same
When it comes down to it.
Just as we are-
The same,
Despite our life views
And opinions.
And I truly don't care.
Just prove me wrong;
Give me something to laugh about.

Curiosity, longing
For what we were not meant to see
And all we
Cannot be
Take me, take me

Frail as I am
Slave to the ignorance of man
What dwells
Inside of you
What breaks me, breaks me

Strain in ills and lore
And frequency
Thrilling
Your kind
You're killing me

The ones who live to die
They won't realize

Tragedy, it plays
Right before our eyes
One sick
Plot twist
After another, and another

How sadistic you are
You're my killer in disguise
I know what burns inside you
And I don't dare
Close my eyes

Breaking me
You're breaking me

The ones who live to die
Won't realize
Too late to purify
Don't close your eyes

Silence washes over
The ground we tread
Inching to the borderline
With light and darkness
Reflecting back
This karma-like effect
Hypnotized
By this prelude
To one more manic moment
Mocking, the Shadow
He asks,
"Are you satisfied yet?"

Hey guys, I finally found a decent music player widget to put in my 'shout out' area, so there it is- my tunes. Check them out, let me know what you think.. and I'll keep adding to the playlist as new songs are finished. ;)

Floating
There is something in never
That drives me on
To nothing, to whatever
Free to fly
Free to fall down
Into the water
Sinking deep into darkness
Where I'll lie
So still
Lie in wait
For you

Sick of the disrepute
Hell, sick is an understatement
What's the limit I must defy
When you place your world upon me?

Ignore it, abhor it, label me a freak
The bane of your existence
Show me your truth, I'll show you a lie
The fabulist you choose to be

Tell me I have no soul
Tell me I have no life
But justified
I am in my ways

Tell me I have no soul
Tell me I have no life
When blood runs cold
I'm not the one who lies

Lost in rhyme and subliminal values
Crafted with ardent artistry
Paint the pain of love and apprehension
Twisting fate with every line

No escape in this dream, this calling,
This arcane trance of mine
Thought sinking deeper, midnight creeper
A poet's dance with time

Tell me I have no soul
Tell me I have no life
But justified
I am in my ways

Tell me I have no soul
Tell me I have no life
When blood runs cold
I'm not the one who lies

Hey guys, I've got a new tune up- "Otherworld". It's not available for download yet, but you can listen to it on my website's media player or on the T7N MySpace. ;)

My little sister is on Buzznet now.. Add her?

Hide all your demons
Don't show your eyes 
Feed all those complications
Lest you see the light

Crawling away from you 
Your twisted point of view 
Another great divide as I know it 

Drifting beyond the dearth of sense 
The veil, the illusion 
There's so much more to life than this 
Inflated delusion

Crawling away from you 
And your twisted point of view
Another great divide as I know it

Yesterday Chris and I finished recording "Otherworld" for T7N, and I must say I'm quite pleased with the outcome, and excited to hear the final mix. I'm so used to hating the songs I work on until after they're mastered, but this one is different. This is one I actually like. It's got a lot of exotic sounds, some cool atmospheric shit, and is generally pretty upbeat.. Very different from the other stuff we've worked on so far. Is this excitement I'm feeling..?

Dreams flow as oceans
Awaken my freedom
A song for the silent
Dead visionary lives again

And I dance as the hunter
I feed the hunger
In this sweet sleep otherworld 

** This is only the chorus of a song I'm working on. The verses aren't quite finished yet.

So free and naive
He drowns in the ocean
Refusing to see
What lurks within
Free and naive
He drowns in the ocean
Again
He drowns again


Looking for my blog?

Would you show it to me,
Everything you hold inside?
Dance (with me) as the world grows dim
I'll dare you to redefine
Your power
To live, to dream, to love
Enchant the mind with my touch
Appease your thirst for life one more time

Just one more night

Killing time, killing reason
Floating free, subconscious
I give myself to thee
Dreamwalker, come to me

Killing time, killing reason
Floating free, subconscious
Dream walk with me
Dream walk with me


Looking for my blog?

Would you do it for me,
Feed my lust, my decadence?
Whisper tales of times past
For a lonely dreamer, this visionary
I've one wish-
To escape, to fly free
Would you give that to me?
Will you show me where you've been?

Take me away

Killing time, killing reason
Floating free, subconcious
I give myself to thee
Dreamwalker, come to me


Looking for my blog?

And then I hear that subtle whisper
Obscure, suggestive melody
So enticing

An end to such humble beginnings
When fate lied beyond our reach
Now burns so close to the skin
The ghost within discovers solace


Looking for my blog?

Smothering, memories and mortal sins
Give it up, all that could have been
No
I don't dare

Here I go around again
Lingering hope, a life begins
I want to go there
But I don't dare

I feel so faint

Safe in sleep, I meet your skin
Exist with all that should have been
And there I'll stay
Until I wake

But shall I never sleep again
For fear of all that could have been
I'll never look back
Fade away

I feel so faint

You know a guy is comfortable with you if he leaves the bathroom door open while taking a leak.. Bonus points if he continues to have an intelligent conversation with you while doing so.

The random shit I notice.. LOL

Denial
Man without a face
Painting the mask
Social display
The Hollow
Born again today
Nothing to lose
But one to betray

Growing closer to
My opposition
The worst affliction
Burning my wings

Will he
Give me a reason to
Give up my freedom
Like you
Succumb to his
Domination, a
Feeble attempt to
See beyond the mundane

He lies dormant
Shell of yesterday
So still
Feels so far away
And my life
My mind decayed
Throw it away
Just one more time

Growing closer to
My opposition
The worst affliction
Burning my wings

Will he
Give me a reason to
Give up my freedom
Like you
Succumb to his
Domination, a
Feeble attempt to
See beyond the mundane

** Finished recording "The Hollow" yesterday. I'm excited to hear the final mix, and thought I'd share the lyrics a little early. ;)

Hey guys, new T7N track- "With This Life".

You can download it here, and the lyrics can be found here.
The Seventh Necronation can also be found on MySpace. ;)

So I was thinking about new year's resolutions, and whether or not I should make one. Is it really worth it? Do people actually keep them?

Do you have one, and if so, what is it?
