Spillin on the paper
     Mind, I'll see you later
                                      Over the top, Over the top
   It's spilling on the paper
      I am here to wait for
                                 My Sheep herd and my scapegoats
   Go 'head and stick around,
                                     If you wanna get the blame for
   My flaws and my mistakes
   All that I am ashamed for
                               You'll feel my pain.  You'll make me sane
                                  My sheep herd and my scapegoats

My philosophy is something iller than the worst disease
Like killers in the first degree
Your gears will never turn like these
I got an appetite
I'm starvin
I'm at the top, just look and see
You gon' make it if you follow me
You just gotta catch that ill disease

          Paper, Paper
     Spillin on the paper
                                     If you still fail to understand
               Good luck
          I'll see you later
                                          Mind, I'll see you later
                                         It's spillin' on the paper
       So stay right here
          Inside my hand
                                My sheep herd and my scapegoats

I've yet to wrap my mind around your funny foreign language.
That must be why I float above you
So I must be Alien
Who are you, what's yer name again
You all look just the same to me
Some ordinary has to be
Some John Doe PoP CatastrophY

       Dear Mr. and Mrs. CatastrophY
                                  Join my herd of sheep and scapegoats
                         I need many more
                    To take the blame for
                      All I am ashamed for
                                                  So that I might be sane for
                                               The existence I arranged for

Fear and loathing grips me.
As I trudge through this town.
Weary of those who'll try to break me.
They're fake.  Don't worry.
What you see is all they've got.
Don't get the fear.
Let it go.  You're bigger than that.
Scholar versus dragon chaser.
Who do you think will win?
Take him prisoner.
Cause it goes without saying that we can't turn him loose.
He'll report us to some ****-Outback law enforcement agency and they'll run us down like dogs.

Did I just say that?
Did they hear me?

Your heart seeks love
For it fills your life with passion
And love is what it finds
But you are still empty

Your mind seeks knowledge
And through the world you search
Now worldly knowledge lights your path
But still you are empty

Your body seeks strength
Because weakness is failure
Now you can lift up the world
But still you are empty

Your soul seeks salvation
But you are filled with worldly knowledge
Your mind ignores your soul
And still....you are empty

I said you are binary
Yes
One-by-one
I meant that heavily
Ton-by-ton

You make my throat burn
Sick
Strep-by-strep
So I wanna see you walk on
Step-by-step

You came and sang your song
Beat-by-beat
Just dragged me right along
Wrong
Street-by-street

It is love I do it for
Heart-by-heart
Yes
I'll try to save the world
Part-by-part

So take this and run
Yes
Bit-by-bit
Or don't, let me see you squirm
Fit-by-fit

Just know that I mean well
Rhyme-by-rhyme
So pay me a visit
Time after time

Lie to me
I do not care
But I'm not the one to judge
But just a bit
Just here and there
It still won't let you budge
You play me like I'm stupid
You play me like a fool
But you're over here with hollow eyes
Lying in your drool

I just want to see you doing well
You were escaping from your hell
But you can't resist it
Just gotta have a taste
After seeing it destroy your friends
And lay some of them to waste
How could you stand the consequence
How could you bear the taste
Where is your hollow mind
What makes you lose your place
You have so much potential, man
You gotta keep your forward pace

Get back on track
Back on the grind
Get you back to yourself
Please, man, get ahold of your mind!

Just sit there, be bitter
Just sit there, a quitter
You always were the black sheep of your litter
So just sit with your stale face
With your mind in the mud
Live life at your snail pace
Hollow eyes like a drug
I can't stand it
I can't take it
Get me out of this room
I won't make it
If you can't shake it
Your terrible, and dark, bitter gloom

So sit there so bitter
Just lie down, you quitter
One day the tables will turn
I'll be back again
To show you, my friend
Just how awfully bad that it burned
So while I am gone
No matter how long
Be prepared to show what you learned
No matter the pain
When I'm back I'll have gained
All I want is to share what I earned

No matter what you say
Regardless what you do
The love will not die
Til my face has turned blue
My very first friend
Should be there til the end
Or they'll bury me before I am through....

This is one of the only poems I have ever written that I can't read without almost coming to tears....
