"Reverse Dreamcatcher", December 18th, 2009

I could sit and glare at you
Stew and steam and stare at you
Let my nostrils flare at you
But it wouldn't change your character
No it wouldn't change a hair on your head
My eyes aren't black, I'm not seeing red
This twisted skewed soul isn't wanting you dead
Every single thought that runs through my head
Reminds me of how I'd love to forget you instead
Every lie that you said
Every line that you read
Every way that I let myself get led
To believe that you wouldn't leave,
That you would help and allow me to breath
Under the weight that I haul that this world doesn't see,
But unfortunately you eventually
Ended up tossing me away casually,
But it's ending up perfect in all actuality,
Cause the place you chose to throw me
Was into my friends, and they helped me see
That the one who'll make me happy is me
And being just what I want me to be
And not what I have to to keep you around
And getting upset and swallowing sounds
And wasting my time while my own dreams drown
You're nothing but my favorite memory now
Cause you've shown me the why and the how
To answer the questions I can't figure out
So I guess that's what this whole thing's about
Cause you were the one in who wouldn't get out
Of my head all these years but now there's no doubt
That you hurting me was the only way out.

"Elevelmentals" - December 10th, 2009

Level One - The Eyes
My first wave of defense starts with my eyes,
Prismatic and changing they become my disguise,
Acting like mirrors to deflect you away,
Staring beyond them will show you the way...

Level Two - The Words
Acting like smoke bombs and tear gas to throw off your trail,
Shifting sands and winds to ensure that you fail
To keep your focus or your direction
On just what is causing my wild insurrection...

Level Three - The Space
If you manage to find me in the sandstorm which I have created,
You'll find that the distance has left you deserted,
To break through here you must follow me close,
Not allowing me to become that shade, that ghost...

Level Four - The Fire
So you've stared through the prisms and seen what's below
Withstood the tornadoes and winds as they'd blow,
Ran me down for miles as I tried to fade away,
Now you've shown me that there's no other way,
The flames in my eyes start to burn hotter than ever,
Withstand them or our ties will fray and sever,
Put them out and you'll find my true form...

Level Five - The Ice
So here you find me, no weapons around,
Sitting so still, making no sound,
Entrapped in an ice block from my own fear,
The only escape for me is clear,
Holding on close till the ice melts to the floor,
Not breaking the gaze as my eyes open like doors,
Ensuring you'll be the first thing I see,
And knowing that my side is where you will be.

"Lie Among Liars" December 1st, 2009

The spider's here
Watching
Waiting
Baiting
Catching
Learning to adapt to new friends and tricks
Lends web to the snake so it's prey trips
Flies with the owl, spinning it in till there's no way out,
Lets the tiger guide it along the chosen route,
Till that now chameleonic spider reveals itself again
And the prey's fear is the only sign of the venom setting in,
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide,
No way for its pack to know that it's died,
Weapons won't hit what you won't witness,
Nothing will stop it, no matter how vicious,
The only way to escape your demise
Is to join the same view as its prismatic eyes,
Your life will be spared
When its vision is shared,
But left full of doubt
When you're left without
Any way to know that it's there.
