And sing
                    My bitter praises
                    To nails
                   And flint
                   And flesh...

There's some liquor in this bottle
I know could drown my sorrows
but if  I finish it
I wouldn't speak at all
face down in my bedroom
with the walls looming on my back
a brick stuck in my stomach
and a knife right through my neck
I'm teeth deep in nostalgia
I can't believe I called ya
the message sits on your machine
with slurred words that
sound so clean
I told it straight right at the beep
"Take me home
take me home
one last time"
then I cut the line
mind all left when it should be right
this is the story of another
drunken night

Do you find me in between lyrics in your songs ?
Awake! arise! the hour is late!
Angels are knocking at thy door!
They are in haste and cannot wait,
And once departed come no more.

Awake! arise! the athlete’s arm
Loses its strength by too much rest;
The fallow land, the untilled farm
Produces only weeds at best.

tracing my veins
wondering
which side of this brain
is chemically imbalanced
which side houses talents
I haven't trained
people praise my writing
and some songs
that I have made
but none of it seems
all that great
they haven't gotten me
less poor
or less bored
just a little less
ignored
but when I trace
my veins
I think that
is
enough
