my thoughts are bleeding

waving in and out
fighting the urge to scream
resisting the temptation to sleep

stuck in a paradox
of perpetual sameness
my thoughts were bleeding out of me

my heart is left
inside this green bottle
I dream of travel
going full throttle
to a destination
and place in time
where I can rest
where I can fly

heading word of mouth
I listen softly
a refugee of myself
lying honestly
don't believe the words I think
connections to nothing
you'll find me someday
when I join the living


waving in and out
fighting the urge to laugh
resisting the temptation to wake

stuck in a paradox
of perpetual changes
my thoughts are bleeding out of me

reality is relative

reach inside my heart
pull out the charred remains
this old wick has burned out
survived all his growing pains

this life
the one you're accustomed to
so intricate and fragile
is nothing more than a lie
a patsy
distracting you
so inside you'll die

another lifeless drone
another ant in the colony
grow up 
to add to the work force
and support this fake economy
its your duty
but you know this of course

it doesn't have to be this way
you don't have to conform
you don't have to fall for their lies
you create your own norm

feel what you want to feel
see what you want to see
know in your heart
that you are totally free

let go
suspend disbelief
let your mind run free
let your soul soar away
be where you would like to be
be there every day

fight club, and modest mouse

I am the warm little center
of this calm little world
fight through the crowd
go till I hurl

fuck off with your sofa unit
your string green stripe pattern
I say never be complete
the chips all fall and clatter

is this crazy?
people do it every day
they talk to themselves
they don't have the courage to say 

fuck damnation 
fuck redemption
we are gods unwanted children
please tell me again

first you have to give up
first you have to know
not fear that some day you will die
someday you will go


We were waiting
For something
 new
Although we knew
It's just not true

We live our lives
Talking of places
We hide our cries
But keep our faces

There's the boat
And we have our tickets
We want to go
But we've already missed it

Content with our place
We do not leave
But I know it's not
the life I want to lead.

more or less

I can not sleep
but I cant be awake
it feels too unreal
feel the earth under me quake

shivering planet
throughout half its design
longing for a second sun 
to warm the other side

my mind wanders
not letting itself rest
one second of sleep
one second less

my face is numb 
from what sleep I did get
maybe I'm dreaming
my worst dream yet

I can't focus
wandering quandaries
think so wildly
of our worlds complexities

one more second
one second less
the sun will rise soon
traveling east to west


new and old, its all relative



I love both of my skateboards, but each for a different reason. the one on the left (Rascal) is good for going down hills and carving. the bigger wheels make it so that i can go onto rougher terrain. the one on the right (Creation) is good for tricks, I've had this board for much longer, and if the pavement were adequate here in Ireland I would use it more.

ride though the dark and travel lightly

the bubbles
they circle
around my head
and in my life
coming and going
without any strife

some stay
for quite some time
some go
right as they come
when the soap is all gone
ill be left with none

people say
thats the way it is
we live
we die
but i believe
its all a lie

to die
first you must live
to live
first you must feel the sting
its only after you've lost everything
your'e free to do anything
