American I really like writing songs and I'm open to criticism, so let me know what you think of them.
Billowing winds brings a wayward can to my foot in the soot to The Throat Slit Man Now and then when I see your face there's a hole in the door feel the cold of space Hiding in the hose of a rootless tree The Throat Slit Man's always looking for me Long ago in a time and place when the moon and the stars never showed their face There's a romp in the swamp with The Throat Slit Man plug your ears with spears it's part of his plan Run away home when the sun goes down eat the moon with a spoon build a mob in your town For 39 years lived The Throat Slit Man under fog in the bog in The Darkwood Land But he left his home to haunt my dreams I know in my soul he's coming for me You can scream you can run you can make a stand you can try but you'll die in The Darkwood Land

Throat Slit Man
Hello I missed you my dove From your perch up above I can never reach you So your feathers turn blue But they still shine so bright When I wish you goodnight But you're so far away Carry on day by... Hey is that you on my phone? I've had too much Patrone Words they slur I can't think Why'd you show me this...? Hey **** that noise get the boys Lock your load **** your toys Silhouettes every night Make them stop with a... Broken like rides at the fair My tongue spits out your hair Portraits move on the wall Come to life watch your... Sorry no promise I catch All the worries you sketch In the back of your head 1,000 years you'll be... "Down with my boat" captain wrote Water rose to his throat From the window to wall Ah ***** ***** ******* Bawl as they crawl to their tomb In the woods where we spoon And when I hug your back We can fly by the moon

Dove Song
There comes a day when the soldiers sway Back shore to the ***** they married last May But G.I. Joe never loved no *** Caught ****** from a ****** down in México Times are dead when the law gets tough Like Rachael Ray I like it rough Kickin my can goodbye life-span Spend a dime every time I **** up the plan Toss your blood soaked badge of fear That you earned at the turn of your life last year No soul in the hole ever gave two ***** About a washed up Queen and her billowing **** Long legs shaved at a soldier's grave Jane never leaves the tomb of her husband Dave She just couldn't wait till next shore leave Got caught pants down with his best friend Steve

Shore Leave
Oh lullabies please gouge out my eyes I thought I'd never see your face I'll be ****** if I spend one more day, standing in one place Oh God please no Here comes my soul I thought I left you to die I don't wait for the things that are dead Like angels and goodbyes If all was well I'd be in hell But there's no room for you there You're the highest light I've ever known Besides my electric chair With thought, time, and smack I scrubbed the plaque Off of my heart But there's blood in the mud of my dreams Never returning your memory's blurring Under time's muffled screams I've fought this and that, ****** bled, and spat But there's no goal You can feed me but I'm never full Nights are too long now that you're far away But I won't ask you to stay.

Charcoal & Slime
Stuck in a hole I'm trapped in a haze I've been locked up for three or four days Word a whisper why I shoulda asked when I never thought I'd see you again Belt around my neck Five notches too tight Been walkin this road three years to this night It took a lot of time but I don't have a home I can't find a bed here now let alone a throne 'cause... Midas won't touch me with a ten foot pole My cause has been lost since I sold my soul Tonic and gin who lives without sin? When the warm wind blows I'll take off my skin Up And away I Just can't stay I'll Slip away Before You die today

Up And Away
Dirt between my toes Where I've been is now exposed I thought I rubbed your taint Off the crust in my eyes A willow tree keeps growing Where you **** on my head Keep me out of your prayers God keeps burning my bed Oh and there goes the shrill, dragging nails on my door Those freaks you paid with hope Don't let me sleep anymore Choking laughs while I bolt She thinks I can't run all night But I have two breaths to go, and my next shelter's in sight There's a pouch in my heart That holds the sludge from my guilt And it's dryer than the bones off the home that we built I refuse to redeem All your dreams that I broke I know not what I did Girl I can't see through your smoke Running faster again, there leaves a trail of my slime She feasts upon my sludge Because it quenches her mind Maybe one day we'll run, out of the ***** that we give And redemption will fade So we can finally live

Judge Sludge
I've sung to a corpse Looked a baby in the eyes While I ****** its protector And I played a house of lies The film won't stop rolling Till I'm cold and all alone How long will you stay silent While I listen on the phone? I found you out west We were both so far from home You belonged to someone else How the **** could I have known I wrote you a song But you knew it was a joke I'd take back the things I said If I knew I wouldn't choke The friends we made are gone I'm convinced they were a dream The joker and the ***** were much deeper than they seemed We all survived together In that new and scary land You told me you were happy That first time I grabbed your hand Each night alone with you I thought our bond could never end How fast you were seduced, by that man you called a friend All the flowers in the world Couldn't keep you by my side Your passion faded darker as each wilted petal died Now you've run away Into the safety of your lamb But if you ever need to find me I'm still lost in Muskingham

In a place without a home, I met an Amazon Swan I regret she can't stay For as long as she'll be gone If they say she aint special Lies will stop after gin Three years she slipped by me Don't know how she blends in Her smile's as consuming, as her body is long Dark-olive skin Inspiration of song Like vines clutching hard around the swamp's tallest tree Nature is her love It keeps her clean, always free Everyday she walks, the world's a little bit better But to know her takes time Like the threads on her sweater Today is no exception But I need to point out She turned 22 and she's going all out By all out I mean, a single day from her books Always fishing for knowledge Can't stop tying those hooks Those who try to claim her, cross the lines that they've drawn Don't they know you can't cage The Amazon Swan
