The Last Time I did Acid I went Insane

Track: The Chelsea Hotel Oral Sex Song

Wedding the Funeral


If I took door number one
put you in a microwave and selected a minute
I'd see your hair but I'd never know
how it smelled
notice your smile
but never know what it takes to see it
I'd kiss you
but never value the reasons you ever wanted one
It seems
a life is made of more than a pretty emotion
thickly shaped abs
or an erect thought
romance is still an investment
and marriage it seems a bad cliche
but we've made love a moment
wanting an end
we've made love a moment
regrettably I can't click what we've become away
but I'm not a sad poem
unlearn and relearn children
me an we learn for you
take a moment and stretch it to a lifetime
take a minute
to take our time away
take all
the meaningless times away

A Walk to Remember

Track: Only Hope

Setting

Setting




The sun will set
I'm promising you a dawn
but an end will come
slowly rolling
right after the noise
silence
sunset will come
sunset will come
an end to that silly killing stroke
cutting your mind
and dividing your heart
in one stroke
the sun will set
I'm turning this page
then the sun's set will come

Throwing Myself

Track: Bonus Track

Bastard Affection
I wonder
If you miss an opportunity does it go away?
If you wanted but never kissed does the feeling stay
If there was a mountain I've never hiked
will the courage I once had fade
The things I've never done and seen
are an opportunity arms length away
but truly I'm writing about you
the one true thing persist ant on one's heart
If I never tell you will you go away
it would seem true love is indecent
exposing itself on a whim
blinding the wanting captor
leaving the tasteless a wanderer
searching for mutual desire

Here are the Lyrics to the song I was listening to while writing this

Album - throwing myself

song
track 13. Untitled

It was always ten steps
That you were behind
Thought you were someone else
And the water builds up
It builds in my eyes
I thought you were someone else
It was always ten steps
That you were behind
Thought you were someone else
You are not my fault
I watched the world in your hands

That They May Know

Track: Autumn

The Sky is Falling

listen. hear. don't stall.
it's coming, it's coming ya'll
babylon
Babylon will fall
the sky is falling
but society is still yawning
a waking dream
shivering ciudad
covers pulled back
the morning comes
opening the door
expecting a world long forgotten

Wake Up O' Sleeper

Track: Dreams for Sale

Tommorow Will Die

tommorow is promised to no man
even those who ruin the hour with a lie
the question to ask oneself is two fold
giving way to a martyr or a penny
for what or whom is that for which you live
a doubt?
a lie?
an image or an obsession?
most importantly
the thing for which you'd ultimately die

Wake Up O' Sleeper

Track: This is Love

Truth's Stakes

If I were honest
I'd say I want to give up
but with formulaic certainty
If that happened
I'd dry up
washed away
my heart would shut up
but what's worse
like the sun dried raisins
my souls contempt
wouldn't let me up
until it rested
leaving me a warm bench
full of plotted land
full of memories
the fondest kind
letting go of despair
touching a strangers bight

Wake Up O' Sleeper

Track: One Time

Peace Despite

to foward I travel behind
this is the way
going I am neverminding folly
backward I'm traveling persistantly falling
the more I go
the lighter it is
forgiving pain is completing a mount
addictions released and love asertained
backward sojourn is this without haste
confirming a peace is completing pieces
journey this is backwards
pieces up picking
learning utopia
handshaking haste

All Else Failed

Track: Growing in Grace

Eyelid Eight


being adult I traveled then
to a land crawling with ugly
a place that stretched the land thin
where I made the demons gods
and with each delivery giving in
terrorizing my own soul I fought
only to realize I couldn't win
until I became a thought brought blank
in your mind
I'd survive
becoming a child and making a hero
my eyelids now eight
doing anything and making me a promise
young again walking backwards
backing up a future never mine

The Race of a thousand Camels

Track: Elephant

Persecu-sistance

I can see but I can't touch it
I can smell it but I can't know it
I sip it but I cannot taste it
I look at it but I've never seen it
I love it but I betray it
and in this waking hour I'm told I can still have it
facing a blinding new I'm promised it
with a single solitary decision
a putsch occurs
systemic anomaly
everything effecting what I thought had to be
no longer is
now I realize
a revolution starts when you persecute your own pride
waking up realizing you have to do something about you
the problem

then making "it is"
a "was"

CHange is a Sound

Track: Sunset on 32nd

Dance like you knew Mount Zion

today i return to you
new in a scarf of wind
in this youthful gasp I am in you
through you
I sing and dance atop your holy hill
with one touch my fingertips release the numbness
once again I can know your skins story
and we jump
and dance
and sing
when I know you
breathing is worthwhile
my best friend
explaining why my heart is no longer heavy
lifting minutes and days
a poor man's dance giving all baggage away

the "Big Snow Fall"

The Big Snow Fall
feeling around now
bump
bite
a scarf
dark
dank
polite
feeling around now
a straight wall not a prison
outside this dark space
a tree
floating through to here
a light
so unlike this
so unlike me
out there apart from this portion
snow preserving certain places
for play
but in here
something curious remains
a solid thing
all can look at with a smile
like tye die
Its still here
and I keep looking out and away

Kujitayarisha

low whistle
you blow and the minor listen
the few and privelaged suffer with you
low whistle blow and cry
but God's a comin'
for no man can dry your tear
one persistant crippling lament
fear that this life wont haste and end
one thistle sticking
now to my shoeless feet
gavel pounding
roads my oppresor thoughfully laid
my legs have migranes
our soul tired from walking
who will care for the zombies
who will care for the walking dead
a fool I am for crying mercy
no woman mothers a beating grave

The Fires of Life

Track: I'm not running

Race The Gopher Trotted

can you hear that
the pitter patter distant
in the background
its out of focus way behind me
not glowing but staring
I grow and move and believe
its not way back there in my memory
because I now have today
in me
locked on ahead
the scenery facing my back is blurried
vacant and weak
I look ahead and see a grand shiny canyon
in the company of a blinding morn sun
valley promised to a walk of faith
so I stand and we run
I'm standing
and you run

Frail Worlds Collapse

Track: Distance is Darkness

dont be afraid to write the cliche you already wrote

I rip this world out of my heart
I rip this day out of me
I tear away everything I was yesterday
days now given back to me
with these oversized glasses now I do see
lament and crimes given
this plate taken
the things I bear aren't my own anymore
I share this park with trees and clowns
this is my desire now
a world changed and gladly taken away
leave your tear on this trash bag
he'll take it all away

Failure On

Track: Inner Pattern

Loose Chains Go Bang

I rode that bike
from the point of impact
I attempted the race of alchemy
with flat wheels a loose chain and a broke derailer
I rode
past the point of bellyache right on into disaster
looking down at my bent rims and worn tires
but I can still make it to my point
amidst all these silly delays and affairs
petty distraction and problems
In any given day
I can stop and look up at the beach
sit on the sun
feeling the warmth of "things aren't so bad cus' I can still do this"
I'm grappling with the peace given in a wrapper
following a road
paved with smiles
making flowing formations
namely silk streams

Lovin' Life Demo

Track: Come Clean

still light

this still light comes on
reveals twice a side
Im a boy who's a man that's spent
*
a lifetime using mine eyes to stare down the other side
to much time
looking at that other side
day turning into year giving way to too much
they are vanity's earings
perfecting an illusion to make believe there's actually greener grasss
finding pastures made of breakaway glass
my neck hurts
from staring up at tabloids
your front page
reading you knowing what was given to perform
keeping up appearances
leaving you a pretty sight
depth lost and ugly enough
regretfully watching you
give your soul a martyrs demise

Frail Worlds Collapse

Track: A Thousand Steps

Tongs Stretched Past

I'm more than than that tune
I'm an unchecked mark
I'm a windstorm
and dawn
I'm everything you were promised
a year more than you see
I'm the rise
simple
the glove that catches your fall
I'm the desire that replaces what's taken
I'm a rising sun
clouds
rain
and umbrella
I'm what you feel when you don't know how to explain
I'm sept 25
and dec 38th
every time you take a breath
It's me you inhale
I am the begining
simultaneously inventing end
alleywaying you out
I am utopia at rock bottom continually forsaken

with me

you'll never be vexed at the money you don't have to spend
because I'm value itself
I'm anarchy
rebelion and peace
sword drawn
ready to wage civil war
calling all things not sane

Concieved in Fire

Track: Reach for the Sky(live)

Un Divisible

blue sphere protection like a drone
this shock poke pushed back with your protection
this life left me weary
then with you I get over it
how I feel and speed and go
one hundred miles exactly
every violence vying for my death
but in this blue cloudy sphere of perfect perfection
I slip by
like fire in a furnace I pass by
occasionally bleeding
the door fee at the race
paid by my clotting blood and strife
this sphere keeps me
this sphere kept me
undivisible
I go protected
