Feel free to share,
Even if it's not fair,
Chew on your favorite hare,
What's this little chair?
You'd prefer when I'm bare.

Pocketed your heart,
Begged to start,
I played your part,
The flavor's ****.

You're yourself when you're high,
Rolling your eyes n' letting out a sigh,
Why's your attention all I vie?

Pocketed your heart,
Begged to start,
I played your part,
The flavor's ****.

You'd rather I'd die.

Smoke until I'm not me,
Numb and heavy as I can be,
Don't need my pity party,
Babe, it's me, the phony.

The Phony.

Out To The Distant East

Underneath pale vanity lights,
All my concaves fall into my sights,
Shadows cast cross a litany of blights,
Dark rings crowd round deadened eyes.

I, I, I, *******, I, I, I,
I WANNA,
I GOTTA,
I FOUGHT IT,
I OUTTA,
I'M FALLING,
FALLING.
DOWN NOW.
I, I, I *******, I, I, I,
AM TOTALLY
fine.

The burning end of a leftover roach,
Find the mirror, give me a look of reproach,
Red eyes find silence yet enough to denote,
There’s that burn again in my wheezing throat.

I, I, I, *******, I, I, I,
I WANNA,
I GOTTA,
I FOUGHT IT,
I OUTTA,
I'M FALLING,
FALLING,
DOWN NOW,
I, I, I, *******, I, I, I,
AM TOTALLY
fine.

There’s the sun out to the distant east,
Seems to melt this auto-cannibalistic feast,
I can see where lines are beginning to crease,
I’ve got time so far as I can see, at least.

Everyday

Everyday the signs blur further,
My eyes deteriorating,
Fading into obscurity,
Beyond how I thought they’d decay.

Just as the days grow colder,
The trees fall into their routine,
Inviting me to fall too.

Everyday my breaths hug tighter,
Each inhale clamps around my lungs,
How long till I suffocate?
I’ll find peace in this fate.

Just as the days grow colder,
The trees fall into their routine,
Inviting me to fall too.

Everyday the memory I cling to,
My mind deteriorating,
Fading into obscurity,
Beyond how I thought they’d decay.

Not a day goes by,
Now its endless,
Useless,
Peer upon the fuseless,
Electric machine I pilot,
Created a solution in a daydream.

Now the days stay colder,
The trees fell into the routine,
They invited me to fall too.

And Beyond

An abandoned sunset on the horizon,
Keep persevering towards a limitless sun,
Dark prairie field, a fraction of a second before sunrise,
Before we know it, the calm passes so there’s a demise.

What’s better than the morning air? 
The drag of a dead tree and its saturn rings,
Honey, you know I don’t play with these things,
Nothing in the universe or beyond is ever fair,
Then it’s decided, I shouldn’t pretend to care.

A pine cabin sitting pretty in the prime of its life,
Will eventually sit heavy at the end of its strife,
Bitter and old from what it thought it deserved,
Historic yet crumbling, nobody wanted it preserved.

An abandoned sunset on the horizon,
Keep persevering towards a limitless sun,
Dark prairie field, a fraction of a second before sunrise,
Before we know it, the calm passes so there’s a demise.

A sinkhole opens to swallow it all up,
A cabin to the depths,
A sunset to the abyss,
A joint to the deaths,
I know we swear something’s amiss.
Who’s to blame except the wash-up.

Rare Ivory Frame

Hands travel down,
Find a secluded vein,
Pick and tear at it,
Pick and pick,
Tear and tear,
Pick and tear at it.

Wrists twist to this,
Uncomfortable conclusions,
Rewarded with pain,
Rewarded it,
Rewarded the pain,
Rewarded it.

Arms contort anxious,
Bones snap directionless,
Cracking insufficiently,
Cracking it all harder,
Insufficient at it all,
Cracking insufficiently,
Insufficient at it all.

Wake up in a house full of smoke,
Hoarded all the blasphemy in the world,
So now it all concludes and burns,
In a heart-stopping moment of-
That indomitable reflection in the mirror,
It burns around a rare ivory frame,
Poached for the sake of the richness,
Love the syncopate better next time.

Hands travel down,
Find a secluded vein,
Pick and tear at it,
Pick and pick,
Tear and tear,
Pick and tear at it.
Pick and tear,
Pick and pick,
Tear and tear.

Unforgiving skin,
Unforgiving bones,
Unforgiving hands,
Unforgiving ends.

M.A.D.

Annihilate my future,
Every prospect,
Every opportunity,
Every sinking feeling.

Change my trajectory,
Through drugs,
Through alcohol,
Through self-hatred.

Baby, I self-destruct,
Countdown from,
5

Lonely at the edge of the world,
With only me, myself, and I to blame,
Don't you dare pity my M.A.D.,
Berate me as you wish and must,
Remind me of how I got here,
My own selfish determination,
It's me and my mistakes,
Here, at the edge of the world,
Here, at the end of the timeline,
Here, at an ergo sum of my lifetime.

Charmed

Pockmarked arms,
Sound off alarms,
Stargazing farms,
Dependent on charms.

Unrealized power,
Atomic shower,
The flavor's sour,
Everybody had better cower!

I don’t give a ****,
By stupid, you’ve been struck,
As you run amok,
Running over kids with your truck.

Unrealized power,
Atomic shower,
The flavor's sour,
Everybody duck and cower!

Planted marigold at the doorstep,
There's blood left in your stead,
Its all you’ve ever been fed,
I think you're out of your depth!

Hats off,
Heads down,
Gather round,
Pray for the sound,
Pray for the sound,
Pray we'll all be found.

Unrealized power,
Atomic shower,
The flavor's sour,
Everybody duck and cower!
