Infuriate: A collection of Poetry and Lyrics

My Photo
Name:
Location: Fredericksburg, Virginia, United States

The power words have to attack a subject fascinates and drives Chris. While growing up in a southern West Virginia mining town, Chris turned to poets like Yeats, Cummings, Rimbaud and Plath to unfold himself and hone his distorted perspective. He is driven by music and nicotine and still can't figure out what the hell he's searching for in Fredericksburg Virginia.

Such A Mess (Lyrics)

Such a mess
Why didn’t I see
You take reactions
To places obscene

Wars that have torn down our comfort
Things that misguide us and steer
If I’m not what you think you want
Then can you say why you’re still here

I am secret unfolded
You are the lie that protests
We think we’re the fighters of morals
But inside we are just clones of the rest

In my blinded states
There were no political crazes
People were frozen
In castles and placed upon stages

In those unreachable days
I was the one to be saved
But since I’ve been taken
And beaten and broken and now
I can’t seem to take place

We were cast into a mold
We were what we were told
We were what prisoners find
Attractive

Spring

in winters without you
i see myself
from day to day with
my warmth like my heart
on my sleeve

i taste sugar
like your lips and
smell you on the sharp
frozen breezes
that chain me to my place


miles from where you
smile
i took you from myself
wrapped you up
nice and tight


and fed you to the fall
and did you even look back
did you ever care at all
i am the shadow
of a spring you once knew


but am no longer
the strongest part
of you
our last touch
was candle lit


and you branded your
name inside me
that place you filled
that no one could
between my legs


around my heart
and we blew each
other out
like the winter
kills the green


and we're sorry
for the loss
and haunted
by that spring

Score (Lyrics)

I know the score
I evened it out
Took it outside
And buried it deeper
I don’t know what keeps you
From believing me
Oh the light is growing dim
Do you think you have
A shell for me
To live in
To live in

I know the way
I rode on it’s back
Made myself into
A clay figure of you
Where are you when you know
That you need me
Keeping up this little white lie
Do you think you have
A light for me
To darken
To darken

Rough (Lyrics)

Just a little
Rough around the edges
Slightly faded
Photos to weep for
Things to keep for
Sadder times

Way up here
The buildings beg
Me down
From where I walked
So short of seeing
The drop so swift

Is that me
Whispering quietly
In your ear
In that photograph
You always wear
Your hair so short
Your eyes so bored
For what its worth
I always heard
What you said
I crawled inside
Your head

Object I Am (Lyrics)

Misses
I know that you’re standing there
Your ears are perked I can see
The shower in your eyes
With me in your mind

Another gain to ship the shop
Another simple line to drop
A glass of beads
To see me bend
There you saw it

Give me sickness and still an object I am
With my scars you want this illbred creature
Alone

Black glass
Can I see the quickest version of it
My quake is bright I can feel
The power in your graces
With my sand in your heat

Give me sickness and still an object I am
With my screams you want this illbred creature
Alone

Promised Bliss (Lyrics)

I am taking it away
The puzzle piece we are
Every edge is
The wrong piece
The dream is broken
And we are still breaking

Do not ask me
To turn back time
I’ve not the strength
To flip the switches
My aching feet are bleeding
My happiness lies in stitches

Is this the bliss you promised?

They fall apart in masses
Group A group B group C
My thoughts are sicker poisonous gasses
My words syringes full of heat
This crime has made a name for me
Stuck in this sick dependency
Were we real in the autumn kiss

Is this the bliss you promised?


Wake me up from this reality
Wake me up from this dependency
Wake me from this seventh sense

Is this the bliss you promised?

Matches (Lyrics)

What would you do
If I devoured you
With your little black book
And my need for you
An addiction to a pill
With a bitter taste
Has me running past you
In a losing race

I have to face
You’ll never stay in one place
I have to learn
Which match to keep
Which match to burn

Sweeter than the words
You used to give
Are the glances I have
Since received
In your pretty blue speed
And your tan and green
And the simple words you use
When you tell me things

I miss the way
You watched me play
I have to see
You’re no longer in me

Mother said all that you
Did was wrong
I noticed you were gone
But not for long
Instead of that hand upon
My hips
What I miss most of all is your
Gentle kiss

I have to see
You’ll never find me
As I watch you go
I think I’ve always known
Our love was a season
Painted in white
And summer is coming
To clean up the bright

Live A Lie

When my back is bent
And coins have been collected
Banks of babies to turn in
Where you’re standing in
The server’s tray
The collector’s tin
But what you were to us
With your hands on hips
And your jury unjust
The queen of the crown
Sugar palace licked clean
Coming down to bow
And you look me in the eye

I think you got it right
This time no train to come
Silver shredding the sky
The order of things you seem
To bring have honey on the
heels of their king

Kill The Moon (Lyrics)

Kill the moon
With just one shot
Let me show you
What you forgot

Kill two birds
With just one stone
I hear your voice
In the tv drone

Songs you taught me
That I forgot
Places we used to go
But now cannot

I’m standing still
I’m crying still

Take the moon
Break it apart
A piece for you
A piece for my heart

I thought you didn’t think
There was anything left to prove
But what have you left to lose


In Between (Lyrics)

Rest your weary head
Capitalist and dead
The fever’s broken
Got my ribs
Things reaching up
From in their graves

I’m their slave
Like it or not
Grey and broken
Lost it in
Depths reached by
Reaching over

Oh boy your eyes can shine
And burn holes in mine
Got something you need
Got something you need
Whats in between
Stays in between
When it comes to you and me

Burdened soldier
At my door
Some weary delusion
I’ve an antidote
But wrote it to you
A post it note

I’m its witness
Be that as it may
I’m mother to your lover
Sinking in
Places shined in
Pale moonlight

Oh boy your eyes can shine
And burn holes in mine
Got something you need
Got something you need
Whats in between
Stays in between
When it comes to you and me

Ice (Lyrics)

Chill of you
Moving in
Grating
Sick of this
Attention span
Fading
To voice not
What I feel
I touch what
Was never real

I turn to ice
I turn to ice

Days of change
Growing out
Never in
Denying me
The pleasure
Of sin
Caught in this
Hook through jaw
Did you ever taste sorrow
Or feel pain at all

I turn to ice
I turn to ice

Hurricane Abigail (Lyrics)

May she always be quiet in summer
And warm in the winter
If only in him
May her veil be white
As Christmas eve
All the ponies she’d stolen from him
May her skin never fold
And her rains never fall
In old age may she still be fresh
What her mother’s eyes
Have been in her skies
Will separate her from the rest

Little dove
Little desperado
Little me in my footsteps
Me with a foot in my grave
Little love
Little wedding guest
One more kiss on this eye
I will lay her to rest
Near the juniper trees

And her house and her pictures
Never shall fade
She’ll never know
What others had in store
Her keepsake trash
Her timbered artifacts
Leaving with a cradle disease
Leaving trailing some heated sea

Little dove
Little desperado
Little me in my footsteps
Me with a foot in my grave
Little love
Little wedding guest
One more kiss on this eye
I will lay her to rest
Near the juniper tree

German (Lyrics)

So we went to barcelona
With our hands inside the net
And we talked about the recourse
Of our developments
Cause the rain falls sideways
When you’re going under here
And the trees that tried to become the bride
Are driving too quick to steer

Mother may I touch the sky
And write my name in the breeze
We traveled by plea in our uncertainty
To the german in his eye
To the german in his eye

So I wrapped myself in colors
Beside which I could stand
And developed my own twinkling lie
In the eve of his arise
Cause the days come only
When the mornings can suffice
For the feeling of his coming
Has shattered porcelain skies

Mother may I touch the sky
And write my name in the breeze
We traveled by plea in our uncertainty
To the german in his eye
To the german in his eye

What does it take from here
That dries the starfish in the lake
How many truckers have fed him
This affinity they’d baked

Mother may I touch the sky
And gather heather for my wings
We charted the sea with no guarantee
To the german in his eye
To the german in his eye

To the german in his eye

Darkest Black (Lyrics)

The darkest black
you've ever seen
arose tonight
inside of me

And all you thought
i'd never know
in me has found
a place to go

And all you thought
I'd never see
has made a home
inside of me

And all you thought
you'd win in lies
created something
dark inside

In my head
in my home
i will exist
at all alone

in your choice
in your crime
you burned all
i had left inside

Blood (Lyrics)

The other side of promise
Waiting like shadows
To cover worlds
Bargained by it

The underneaths of scars
Dripping rubies red
Under surfaces
Below terrains

Veins carry me
Through you
Blood on the blade
You have aired me
Out and now
I see the sun seconds
Before I’m done

I have mapped out
The charts to take
To find the thickest
Chord to break

I have run
Into muscle
I have skimmed
Your heart
