Fingertips bled four days
Vocal chords raw, tattered and ripped
Record collects dust, simply unplayed

Skin rolls through a lathe
reveals a new true color
pinkish, and a little bit softer

Feet broke, and terribly hurting
ankle spurs shard
Can't walk, can't talk
or play my cards play my cards again

Head numbed, complacently dumbed
for a second, spun
out of control, had to run
far far away
to an awful forgotten place
Spoke once, never again


Truer words don't come
to the meek
for they do not speak

unless forced
A struggle to shrug
no one gives them a hug

'Til all is well
heated from beneath
broth boiling in unison
formed once its poison

Next side is bubbling
stirred beyond its coined
phrased unison its poison

If depth makes
for those willing
try sitting try stirring
envy those and transparent osmosis
emit shades out of possible control

Ego is top priority
if it isn't for me
then its for the fakes
the one who blast their stereos
and fluff their noses
whiffin' on a whim
better learn how to swim

learn to catch their falls
in a continuous call
back home is where they run
because no life starts with fun
Mama screamin in agony
just to push you out
so you can deliver her joy
but is it for her, or is it for me?
I know it seems shallow
but your too blind to not see

The plastic thoughts
that make up my forehead
gathered and strung out
like a stream of city lights
sitting below as I look down on
all the ones who float around
seemingly lost in the world we took over

Its the human species who is the virus
the ones who hone in and take with out asking
Is this mine? money is the answer
if you got no dinero
then you got **** for answers

Everyone has ****, too bad its not tender
yours is so bad it could knock out the lenders
but again, **** is not the answer
so you better save up
and buy all the world up
and drink it all from a shiny cup
and then throw it all up
and do it again and again
for we all are alcoholics
winning a race
against ourselves

in a sin of thought
its you who bought
that necklace
that pretty dress
that watch
that new phone
that mansion in the hills
that ugly ******* poodle

But what does it boil down to?
the classy environment
we are all accustomed to?
Try and wonder what is truly rich
for its heavier than gold cinder blocks
and large jewelry rocks

Its what you have deep in your mind
I have one, now you try to find
if you adjust the lifestyles
the lavish everydays
than maybe you can be rich
without working a single day

I really don't work
and I'm pretty happy
but give me diamonds
and then we'll see whose truly happy

A scribble to mimic what I feel thus far
the cold is alone; too struggle to stay warm
the vital strength to pulse further
my beating heart keeps me company

To signify strength, this murmur is faint
but to draw the line from the foreground
run rampant, simplicity is too quaint
for the lines of greatness are vitality to paint

In honor of each breath, quick and wheezy
admiring the gleam of the winter steam
relaxed, exhaled, not a dullness lay in me
but a carriage awaits beyond the frozen walls
o! how I loathe thee Mister Jack Frost

I just wanna go drive, see the night
wanna go drive, and find a light
take a small stop at the corner store
get my fix and i'll buzz off

as I fly through the air
I find a draft and settle down
It takes me into a bright lit room
flutter around, make no sound

I feel a sting and I feel a stir
the air beneath me brings me down
I have a sense, I have an urge,
with one last breath, they purge

The striking force crushes my limbs
I can't go on with out my limbs!
I catch a drift once again,
leave my legs and find a spot

one with comfort and one with light
A lovely spot to nestle
The beam I see is much to bright
with an everlasting hustle

One last glance I see the mess
my body is quite spattered
I know now that this is the light
to which I have been after

One to bear my dreams unto
and one that holds my memories
the one that shall forgive me of
my bitter life's tragedies

I say farewell to all that see
and those that care to ponder
the useless life of an innocent bug
squashed and wings tattered
An homage to the bug I killed the other night, may he or she rest in pieces

What makes you
want to be with trash
pond **** who can't make you,
but he sure comes fast

Who made his mind up
about life too quick
What about adventure
and the risk of it?

I've seen your moves
they **** me every time
Hip ******, and **** bumps
encircle and enthral my mind

You are far to beautiful
to be with that creep
he probably snores
and won't let you sleep

If I kept you up
with a bubbling nose
I'd ask you to wake me
and we'd plow till close

I don't mind a snuggle up tight
With you in my arms
is a desirable,
and significant fight

Does he ever marvel
by the beauty of your eyes?
Does he ever tell you
he could never compromise?

With you and the world
it is your pretty life
to choose the hands
who delicately caress you

With your support
and all my work
we'll run this hellhole
turn it heaven on earth
To the girl who doesn't even know

It's a common bond between the two
making a difference, connective tissue
assembled into a greatness
a line of weakness
combative graveyard
A manic savior

Tips to what keeps us up
a cheers to another empty cup
invincibility shall drown
like a statue underground
pushed away for decades
Eagerly brimming with pain

A terror of hope
shrieking of ghosts
of demons and mongrels
that make-up these problems
a mask of fluidity free flow down the hatch
A liver is weakened by this ugly thrash
It's all about finding a different way of saying things
sure you have problems, what makes you think you are the only one?

You're a writer? I'm a writer, I feel your pain
struggle with the fact that people think you're insane
but to tell the truth, you probably know too,
We see the world in a disappointing point of view

Nothing that uncommon,
but not all lax
seeing lines blur before us
as the shutter opens too fast

But as we step unto the great unknown
a shadow slowly guides
don't be afraid to look behind
past the ugly curtain's side

A call of distress can be heard more than glee,
everyone is jealous, so they murmur their own plea
Its a calling set out upon you
Now set that mother-****** free
