Prescription drugs
They my only love
Back in the days
Deep in the 80's faze
We play, blaze
In the front yard of maze
Mother was a stoner
Father used to **** her
Beat her choke her
Gave her the kiss of death
And where she laid
He danced on her grave
My brother cried
Our hearts went numb
Remembering the song
She used to hum
Running her hands
Through our hair
We whispered her stoner prayers
The lily song she sung
'pon our ears it hung


'hypocrites and parasites become men at night
don't lay too close or you'll catch a fright
just take these chains away and set me free
remove me from this ******* and
then we can agree'

Prescription drugs
They my favourite love
Whether you black
Or be it blind white
The streets of Babylon
Be too dangerous at night
He made us run
Before we could walk
The road was rough
Our feet like chalk
The slave in me
Never be free
(Never be free...)
And in the dark
The parasite come
Grind the sweet kush
Between my legs they come
The sound I make is none.
My soul be broke
My mind be stole
******* so tight
No control

But nothing can compare
To the Creole bird
My mother love us sweet
Her hands through our hair
As we whispered for her
The Stoner Prayers

Perhaps the noisy aeroplane
Disrupting Meditation
Is the sign, Divine
You have been searching for.

Well there’s no easy way out
And there’s no way out alive.
So What’s the point in living,
If you’re just living to die?

I used to have a reason,
A reason just to be.
A perfect girl, in an awful world.
A girl that was just like me.

I don’t know why it’s difficult,
just to get some sleep.
Probably because scornful words
stay stuck between my teeth.

And as I fill, with tempered swill,
These measured beats of rhyme,
I dream of something simpler to ****,
Than the Ticking Clocks of Time.
I'm tight this one is my most popular and my very least favorite hahaha

Lofty scribbles of madness enchanted
On long trips to nowhere, leave me
Helpless, without care.
How dare I? How dare We?
Jump gleefully while suffering hangs in the air blatantly?
It’s Fate, You see.
The smile on my face has never been fake
and it would be quite the task to undertake
Take a deep breath, you know you can’t keep it.
Release it, don’t plead for it to stay or Return because
It Can’t. And It Won’t.
One moment to the next, no chance to recant
But you may take a step back and observe
What once ignored, finally Heard
From a different perspective
In Retrospect:
The water is Calm.
But as for now?
The Storm rages on.

Pencil Smudges
Sunshine Budges
Both give way to Rain.
Don’t hold grudges.
Hope. Keep Trudging.
Don’t give way to Pain.

Super sweet ******, unfamiliar to me,
Stumbling, punch-drunk, smiling toward thee.
So easily come, so easily go,
Spiraling, Spiraling, Spiraling. Woe(Whoa.)
Tossed to and fro and hither thither slither,
Such a young flower, so quickly you wither.
Quicker you vanish from mine sight
Save mine mind
As quick as ripe fruit succulent plucked from the vine.
Stained, scattered points of broken light in thine eyes —
I remain, nothing more than just “A pretty cool guy.”
Until our next meeting, will it come?
I don’t know.
Suppose all I can do is
Stick around for the show.

— The End —
