Yesterday’s Vision written by Matty Shreds I lie awake, as I hear time passing by,tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock.Where am I going? Has time stood still?It feels like I’ve worked so hard, yet traveled so little. I sigh here; laying in the fetal position.Obliterating every positive thought that hits mind.Eliminating the true worth of myself,to level …

Carpe Noctem

Carpe Noctem written by Matty Shreds Poison rain, faded Light.Down it pours, as day turns night.The sky is grey, with clouds above.Dimly shines, the moon of love. Waves they crash against the wall,The eerie winds, cause leaves to fall.Dying trees, silhouetted to sight,Though everything feels, so perfectly right. Carpe Noctem; seize the night.That’s when ideas, are best …
