Those times you spoke
Sunday’s one pleasure
Love your bloke

Unite

Fifty-six hours from parting
Fifty-six hours untying the umbilical cord

Two days, no more
Two days from seeing you before

Seven years and one half from meeting
Seven years and one hell repeating

Mornings of madness
Daydreams of sadness

Days within secrecy
Nights without sorcery

Faith searches for forgiveness
Futile in any other guise

Consumption

I awake, awake with anger
Say in my mind all I feel of hate
Work the words of badness
Work words to grate
Grate all my feelings
Grind them to dust
Work through the torment

Clear an absent view
Open closed pathways

For the rest of the day
Crippled in chaos
Crippled from to do
Know that I have to
Know no desire
Grovel, grope inside
Grieve, leave behind
