Im stronger then any drywall But scared of every mirror My heart is made of glass Broken Cracked doctor tells me I got high blood pressure It runs in the family That temper The walls with holes in them The women screaming The drinks thrown The chest pain The feeling that something is always wrong I don't want to be my father Or my uncle I don't want to be the blood that runs thru my veins I wanna be that ****** who keeps looking back at me thru the mirror I wanna be That smile that I can't wipe off his face

Drywall
I hope I never see you again But I look for you every where I go I am the lizard in the glue trap the stale fluoresce light the cold folding chair the coffee always ***** at AA meetings we meet every Wednesday on the 2nd floor your apartment was on the 2nd floor your neighbor had a dog that would never shut up but I think we made enough noise to pay her back I'm two days away from that one month chip the laptop Im writing this on has a Budweiser sticker on the back of it I cant go to the gas station without thinking about you I get sick every time I see the moon because I know it'll be another night alone but to tell the truth the ************ of it is I don't know if its you or just the ***** I miss

I want to plant flowers with you But not until ive pulled all the weeds from my garden I want to be the wrought iron trellis Strong enough to hold all your beauty I want to be the soil Kind enough to grow your roots I want to be the lady bug that keeps all the aphids off of you I want to plant tomatoes and lavender and a bunch of little seeds but not until I get rid of all the briars inside of me The last thing I want to do is steal your sunshine The only thing I wanna do is see you grow

I want to plant flowers with you
I filled my pockets with black berries And my arms with junk that summer I miss sleepy chris And amanda with all the bracelets Tattoo of a pentagram Eyes black like obsidian …you know maybe it was a good thing we got separated from them Its hard to play craps with people who don't shoot the **** And when the **** has been shot its best not to gamble on who your hangin with Colorado will be a new start No drama Just nature and machine

Quixotic Attempts at destroying melancholic ideas love is finite I wish tomorrow the world would end simply so we could love without reason intoxicating when left without consequence love as blind as justice wrong but beautiful a cascading moment of ecstasy let the world outside fall apart Memories of sacred fire Bottles full of holy ash let Death sing to an empty choir let love not be a Forgotten mass

Whenever she stays over She leaves scribbles in the shower I leave scribbles in my notebook Whenever I think about her I feel scribbles In my heart In my stomach in my brain Whenever I think about the girl That leaves scribbles in my drain

I use to date a girl with seagulls in her apartment We'd make puddles on the couch And she had this uncanny ability to tell when the weather channel was lying I was never good at lying But I went to college for stretching the truth At night when the seagulls went to bed Her cat and I would drink coffee and tell stories never stopping to question if they were true

3:30 yellow jacket *** with a fax machine What use to be anticipation quickly soured to loathing My liver is shriveled like a California raisin However I doubt it does much singing But if it did I bet it would sound a lot like Tom waits and I mean good tom waits not that later years experimental ******** Mornings are often hazy When the milk of last night's sleeping pills And the cereal of talk radio mix The results are nauseating but effective I woke up just past the grants mill exit "Damn I'm half way there" Jesus! Who said that!? These energy drinks don't hit like they use to Nothing really hits like it use to This D.i.y. venue isn't ADA compliant Which deeply unsettles me Everything now unsettles me But hey you know what they say about getting comfortable

*** with a fax machine
Birds make snow angels in the sky Before the flakes have a chance to fall Icarus is in heaven for his arrogance I watch the bodies of angels collect on the ground Everyday is Christmas A beautiful gift from god
