Welcome home to reality where you lose what you love
This place you call safe, may not be secure enough
~
This land you call free may leave you broken and bare
And just when you think you've made it, you're nowhere near there
~
Welcome home to this place that is fueled by power and greed
Give it your best shot, but you may never succeed
~
Hope for the best but you may shatter your dreams
You may cling to hold it together and still fall apart at the seams
This does not reflect my mood today!
down here
behind his Master's eyes
behind his hollow smile
awaiting the chance
the Master's call

rain has soaked the dense, hot night
steam rises like thick breath
from the pavement
laughter dances with the leftover sounds
of a city's hard rain
as she catches the Master's eye
he pauses
strikes a match
inhales deeply the Marlboro smoke
the signal for the Dragon to awaken
Put on another record
Now let's lay together
You say it doesn't matter
Yet can't you hear the faint shatter?
Count back from ten
Please let's start again
I'm sick of this constricting quarantine,
baby can't you see?
You're my dopamine.
I can whistle all I want, but you’ll never be here again like you said in my dreams.

     "Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.
     Now that you’re gone, who can I trust.”


There are still pieces of my inner poet hanging on, but most of them died with you.

     "Has the dawn drawn any nearer? You’ve been too many days without the sun.
     A stranger stands in your mirror,  falsely content with all he’s become.”


I always thought that if one of us were to actually go through with it, it would be me.

     “Tainted blood like a river flows, a steaming pool of red bordeaux."

But it was you. And truthfully, it’s always been you.

To take a trip to the city
He said, I once lost a thought there
No pity, I say
I remember those days
too well
"This leg man, I'm telling you...
it's like a.. level 7, you gotta have fun while you're young. Stay out of construction. Man, wow! I go to the doctors you know,
but it's like a bad dentist trip.
You just want some drugs and to shut your eyes.
          
      could you pass me those shades?"
