Time as it fades

Where will we go tonight


She needed you but you needed her feel good about yourself

But I don't know why you’d want to be free

Conversations get the best of both of you to see


In a place

Where no one leaves alive

I've been waiting for a real long time

I can't wait to catch her when you’re way down, it's time to fade


With the dust and the haze

Needy

Scared to be alone

She's her...

Deep

One happy pill, two in arms reach

If we're in need, then we'll get through

One and out for blood on the street

I always blame it on that dirty street

I'm just a number hooked to a needle

Filled up with another man's pain


Love is such a comforting sound

I hear it in the night

Hope she didn't leave me here to dry

I'm so glad that I have you

Staring at the love in your eyes

But this world is killing...

First Bloom

I don't need the money that the world calls evil

It's like I'm just not fake if I don't do wrong

I am more than fluent with making counterfeit

I'll never know how it feels to be wanted


Wicked, wicked, beautiful gorgeous

Wicked, wicked, sensation

We are the ghosts in the machine

We are the outsiders

We are life and death


Fading light through celluloid

The illusion that we're here

Rise above it

I’m So Gone

Vern

1 min read

My little f***ed-up virus

Ran from you

I'm a half of a man

It's the perfect solution for everything else

Never cared about anyone more than myself

The only time I feel alive is when another man dies


I'm sick as hell but I'm feelin' fine

In a lot of pain, but I can shake it off

I've been high for hours

All the things they put us through while they're tryna judge us

I could tear myself apart in t...

Drift

Vern

1 min read

Let me drift away

I don't want to live this way

I just want to let go

We'll be looking at the stars above


All those fires will burn even brighter

And I'm drifting away from you

She was my lover in the autumn air

We would watch the clouds ride high above


This ain't a sound to break your dreams

This ain't a touch to chase away your ghosts

This ain't your money I want back, this ain't the answe...

Early Rise

Vern

1 min read

Cause I never was an early riser

Never leaving my bed before the shadows disappear

I wake up and I'm feeling your presence so near

You're just a little closer than me


But I live in a time where the earth is running out of time

And we re spending our lives chasing the sun


We're flying to the horizon

I think I'm too set in my ways

Everything is just starting to feel like a promise and potential

Existed Non-Existent

Vern

1 min read

A clock and the time

A single thing that gives both equal ground

At the end of empathy

But then again, love of both still exists


It's just looked at in different ways

Loving you is expecting reality from you

In exchange for my love I offer hope of anything

I would trade my story for your life



Feeling your ecstasy

I don't care who you are


If only there was time to let this go

And my heart could...

Reality And What Is True

Vern

1 min read

Do you really want to know

What I expected

From this fabric of my life


The sordid sprawl

I know that I will be left at last

To the form of an abandoned shell

I only ever tried to break the chains


A clock and the time

A single thing that gives both equal ground

At the end of empathy


But then again, love of both still exists

It's just looked at in different ways

Loving you is expecting reality fr...

Opening The Cupboard

Vern

1 min read

What I would end up trying to construe

Was all nothing but true

Anything I would feel

Would happen like skin being peeled


In the next dimension

I'm opening the door

Into your house

On this side of the line


You can't see nothin' outside

The trees are up, but it's dead as a doornail

There's nothin' to see till summertime

Summertime? Yeah, you crazy


I decided to remain a nobody

I consider mysel...

One Long Night

Vern

1 min read

It was that one day

April 21st 2010

We all smoked with nothing to say

Wishing it would happen again


12 years later

Here I am ended up with a layer

With myself growing each week

I still wander and hope to seek

Seeking that one long night


But everyone’s drifted away

Best friend would soon die in April

For a year I thought it was a long tale

Delusional with the facts

Getting high and nodding a...
