Heads on Sticks

Let the pain suck you dry,
Let it spin you into a world of darkness
To the point where you can't tell if those are your hands touching your face.

Let it consume you and then enthrall you.
Take you down to where no one else has been
And torment you further,
Letting the demons that you never thought you had,
Escape and run free around you.

I want you to sit and watch them,
As they laugh at you,
Walk through you and pick apart your soul.
They will stare into you,
But you just have to hold their gaze,
No matter how hideous or terrifying the things they show you are.

And when you can no longer bear it,
When you are lying there, broken,
Then I'll come to your aid.
I'll lend you my hand,
And tell you that now, you're finally going home.
---------

The journey is rough, and long,
And sometimes you lose your mind.
But you can get through it.
I did.
Just look at my scars.

Away

Leaving Melbourne tomorrow.
Let's see what's ahead shall we?


-Oedipus

Awakening

'I want to wake up kicking and screaming.
I want to wake up kicking and screaming.
I want to live like I know what I'm leaving
I want to know that my heart's still beating,
It's beating,
It's beating
It's beating
I'm bleeding.'

One of the only things I've ever really cared about.


-Oedipus

Struggles

'Leonard,

I'm struggling to keep up.
It's growing on me,
This wanting to lie here.
It's calm, and peaceful
And when it rains it doesn't feel so bad
I just want to stay here forever.
No more looking,
We can just rest.

But Leonard,
Please, keep me going.'


Keen

River

'I was born in the arms of imaginary friends.'

Sideways

Sweetheart,
Keep on thinking
Until you no longer can.
And when you get there
You'll realise how simple everything was
Right from the beginning.

One thing, that caused all of this.
Oh but if only you could think.


-Oedipus

Evey

Something raw inside of you
Like anger that has nowhere to go
You're letting it consume you
Helplessly.


-Oedipus

Passengers

Everytime someone mentions it
I struggle with my answer
Yes I do regret things,
No I don't regret anything,
Yes I do regret things
And would change them if I could,
Yes I do regret things
But wouldnt change anything.

I think for now,
I've got a memory or a few stored away
And that's all I'll keep.
I don't think I'll be needing the rest anymore.

-Oedipus

Moving

'Hey I think you're groovy
Would you wanna see a movie with me?'

A long awaited travel
Is finally reality.
20 days left.

Corrigan

For once,
Things are starting to feel like home.
