coffee and cigarettes
nothing quite compares
to driving down this empty highway at 2 am
count my lucky stars
i'll see you again

What does it mean to be human if we do not divine our own self destruction?
Humanity is nothing more than our convoluted and prolonged prevention which will ultimately lead to our own demise.
For you see, that is the beauty of humanity
We always will be
Always have been
Are now and forever
Doomed.
We are nothing more than the Lord's Rebel Children.
Doomed.

Fire is kind of magnificent, isn't it?
A tear drop of wax upon your cheek.
Burn away pain we must not for this will remove the beautiful truth.
Maybe one day you'll love me
Until that time by the fire I'll sit and wait.

Lost in the woods
Dark is descending
I must find the old oak
Climb where it stood
Two parallel rivers do mark the trail
Hope and doom they are so called
One cannot flow while the other runs stale
I must find this tree before night sets in
Follow the current and the answer its hums.
Oh, what riddles this eve provides.
A great storm is coming
My soul will transcend
A spirit I will become but a ghost never again.
Will I ever find this great tree?
Take shelter in its shade?
I will climb to the highest canopy
See the endless rows of wild blooms.
The climb would be treacherous
Shaky and high,
And it seems to me that once at the top,
The way down is to jump or fly
So If I am to pass: so be it.
The adventure lingers on.
I do know one thing for certain:
The climb would have definitely been worth such a view.

A man in a hat
down this road I'll traverse
I'll look both ways in search of you.
I'll keep looking and lose the road.
Oh Liberty, Oh Freedom.
Where have you gone?
Where will you be?
Who have you become.
I'll lose myself looking for your light in the dark land.
