The system has failed
And I'm slipping through cracks
If the system can't catch me
Then there's no climbing back
They put it in place
Born to serve and protect
If the system can't catch me
Don't know what happens next

Sweet salvation lies in sleep
Make it dreamless, make it deep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
Sweet salvation lies in naught
Away from memory, away from thought
I pray the Lord my soul forgot
I pray the Lord my soul forgot

Some folks are impatient
Some folks wait their turn
Some folks cut to the front of the line
Some folks never learn
Some folks put on sunscreen
Some folks don't and burn
Some folks get their skin replaced
Some folks never learn
Some folks keep their lungs clean
Some folks make theirs yearn
Some folks never get fresh air
Some folks never learn
Some folks get what they take
Some folks what they earn
Some folks spend their lives in jail
Some folks never learn

Mighty am I,
Standing over my kingdom:
The headlights beneath me are beneath me,
All the people beneath me are beneath me.
You've got it made is what they say,
And I look down at them from my balcony.
No stranger to heights am I,
And I have ascended to the greatest of heights.
No pity do I feel for the ground dwellers,
Though I have slept upon the ground many nights.
Hard work pays off, so they say,
And they say you reap what you sow.
These things I have grown, I once planted,
And I nurtured them so they would grow.
For all that I have I am thankful,
And all of my thanks go to me
For getting my knuckles all *****
To one day have a balcony

a man gets double vision when
he gets two pitchers deep
one eye sees a ski hill while
the other pictures sleep
one eye keeps the door ajar
the other sees it lock
neither one has any clue
what time it is o'clock

the only sensation
more satisfying
than scratching an itch
that you just can't ignore
is the euphoria
which overloads
an insignificant little mosquito's miniscule brain
as it ***** that precious drop of blood from your insignificant veins

it starts to collect and grow
in
the ticking minutes post midnight
the first shadows of decay
the final rays of sunlight
the high speed crash which stifles
the laughter of every joy ride
the corners of the room where no one sits
cobwebs creep and cluster
causing claustrophobics to cling to one another
afraid of public restrooms
yet accepting of strangers embraces
as the blind man hears a train
and thanks god he can't see it
for some sounds look more hideous than they are
it festers as
the house grows lonely
the lawn becomes unkempt
the kids have grown and gone
the dog has died and decayed
beneath a short white post
reading in peace resting
it finds every home
and every bone
and every body
and every dashboard
and every beginning
and especially every end

rain drop dripping
leaking through the roof
sounds like clipping
a horse's heavy hoof
slowly sipping
from an empty cup
can't stop tripping
you come pick me up
now we're stripping
time to go to sleep
cold is gripping
water's getting deep
skinny dipping
ocean in the sheets
the CD's skipping
every note repeats
wind is whipping
branches beat the wall
now we're slipping
hope that soon I fall
playful nipping
you want open eyes
bed is flipping
love starts despise
now quick zipping
slamming of a door
rains still dripping
pass out on the floor

A decorative chair
(where no one's ever sat) stands
in a decorative room
(where no one ever goes) in a homely
half mansion
(on the main floor, just left of the front door)
and thinks to himself
all day, every day,
that his purpose in this world is
as of yet unserved
having never once provided rest
for the weary legged
and wishes to himself
once, or twice a day,
to hear a little ditty
from the decorative piano
(dust upon the keys no one ever learned to play)
