red light, tires screaming
rubber steaming off the pavement
keep dreaming or make a statement
that’s not what the witnesses are saying
she’s got a body like a sin
even witches started praying

song for you

if only i knew
how to play acoustic guitar
i’d wrap those strings
around the moon and the stars
i’d play and play
until my fingers were scarred
i’d sing and i’d sing
until my throat turned to tar
then maybe loving me wouldn’t be so hard
for you

petal to the metal

hey, highway flower
don’t let those fumes delude you
you know time is passing by
on its morning commute too
and all those folks burning dinosaurs
fighting all their righteous wars
they never have and never will
have the slightest clue
they passed by too fast
for a chance at a glance
at all your beautiful hues
hey, highway flower
keep on growing
cause that’s all we were really out here to do

protocol

a jealous shadow
from the dark side of my mind
creeps its way through the crevices
eager to remind me
that i’m not and never will be
worthy of your time
i’m just a filler for any other thing
the next to catch your eye

so this is “growth”

it’s just a guess, i guess
that’s how it goes, i suppose
i’m feeling older, older everyday
all this pain is here to stay
sit back and watch my brain decay
walls decorated with the frames
pictures of how we used to play
my back protests, my knees complain
dusty boxes all my toys are in
i’ll never be that boy again

vinyl

the side ended and i let it
sit in silence and forget it
til death its me and my regrets
the tidal violence that i’m left with

rat race

no one tells you
no one warns you
that your brain
will outrun you
