Demons don't die
They hide
Underneath memories
Underneath emotions
Foreign
In their immense power
They reside
Deep in the bones
Their whispers seep
Through tired muscles
They persist
Through gaps in lucidity
Their touch excites
Needle sharp
In the naked brain
On the ice-cold skin
Fright
Repeats its patterns
Demons cut
Their twisted way
Into the mind broken
Shifting shadows
Haunt
The lonely silence

We play with death
With every breath we take
Each syllable
We speak
She listens closely
We sleep with death
And wake under her watch
So patient
In certainty
She readies her embrace
She draws closer
To disappear again
Teasing
Innate fears
Buried deep within
Did you have a life
Worth crying after
Did you have a time
Worth fighting for?
Did you love
At least once and fully
Did you find yourself
The one beneath it all?
We walk with death
The path matters little
One life
Ten lives
No number would suffice

Not Me [demo]
05:22

-----------
This stone white skin
Is not mine
This flesh and arteries
These moving mechanisms
These lungs and breathing
Are not mine
These thoughts emerging
This mind convulsing
These felt sensations
Are not mine
These neural signals
Generated
Propagated and realized
Not by me
This instance of reality
This state of actuality
This immediate moment
Does not belong
To what seems to be me
To what seems to exist
This creature can grasp
All but itself
This apparent selfness
It is not me
It is not anyone

CNS Vancouver, British Columbia
I wish to die a thousand times
Over and over until the world
ends
I wish to evaporate
To merge with time as it flows by
In the shards of sunlight
I wish to be pierced by them naked
