raiv's Journals on Buzznet http://raiv.buzznet.com/user/journal/ en-us <![CDATA[Satire]]> http://raiv.buzznet.com/user/journal/4669581/ 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.

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

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?"

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

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

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

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..?
