I just couldn't help meself
I went tearin in
it smelt like a bacon sarnie
to a lapsing vegetarian
I swore I wouldn't do it
and I'd swear I didn't then
but I'll sign for me crimes on the dotted line
I'd sell ya a *******, if you'll give me a pen...
an a baggadat ting aggen

limited by form
enraptured by voracity
they come stumbling forth
a wave of alacrity
the dead reborn
graverobbed of their sanctity
tasting life once more
flesh called
theyre answering

what do you take from the man that has lost everything
who is paying the price for not playing
in the game of life style before substance is king
a broken pawn to the brokers isn't worth anything

nothing hurts more
than what you havent got
possession is nine tenths of the law
but its the other part
that you can never have whole
in your hand or your heart
that will sear
as it tears you apart

when you speak to me
I can feel my skin prickling
reacting sympathetically
to what I can hear
that youre thinking
your words are a symphony
vocal tranquility
at once both enrapturing
and terrifyingly ******
I can hear your breathing
hear it catch when youre
contemplating
I hear your heart beating
faster and harder
in the tremble of your voice
and as youre nearing
I can hear your knees shivering
your toes curling
from your tone when you tell me
youve got to go

I want to spend a day in your hourglass
being turned on my head as the hours pass
sliding down into the narrowness
collapsing into a pile of spent amorousness

your depths whisper
because your superficial screams
look at me
lost in front of lusting eyes
leering but not seeing
how can you hide
when plain sight
isn't even an option here
outwardly shining
inwardly cowering
in the light you're emanating

when we speak for all
we speak freely
what can rise
can fall
just as easily
when we pull
on the ropes
binding us
they will come tumbling

loyalty is bought
not taken
the more **** you take
the more bile you are creating
the price is getting higher
with every mistaken
value you apply
to this worthless nation

we live in a time
when there are three
martyrs to the future
on the face of the planet
who with history assured
have no now

I wish I was a mindreader
just one look in your eyes
to see your thoughts
your needs
your desires
the reason why you told me lies
you never ceased to surprise
each and every time
you brought a smile to my face
you didn't need to hide
in plain sight
or push me away
whenever I came close
to coming close to your flame
I got burnt anyway
my lesson learnt
I ran away to my cave
to lick my wounds
and hibernate
fell asleep to your name
as a relationship lost
and awoke to a day
with a friendship to save
because if the only thing to gain
is speaking to you again
then I'm game

ive got no time for time
i spent more than I had
living a lifetime
with no costs spared
age is a ruin
best be prepared
for deaths demolition
without a care in the world

the focus is in the periphery
uncertainty makes it a certainty
its right there before us
if only we could choose
to look away
then in that instant
we could see it

give them an inch
and theyll take a measure
rules make rulers of men
to be measured against
and to be found to be lesser

can you miss
what has never been
if youve never seen it
can you trust your feelings
can you risk
what could be everything
on a chance meeting
with potential eternity
can you stop questioning
whats right before you
because you cant believe it
can what you want ever be
until you accept what she sees
isnt what youre seeing

i can no more be who i am not
than i can be who i am
what is there in a same ol world
for a different man
but if a life is within my grasp
should i grab it while i can
or keep clutching at straws
until the shortest one is found

i was walking tall
now im caught flat footed
i had won it all
but the game was crooked
what came before the fall
was pride reconstructed
pressed the wrong button

self destructed

dont pretend to understand
the facts ive faced
the pacts ive made
or the price ive paid
in exchange
for staying one move
ahead of the game
out of my chains
free as a bird
in a cage of my making

if reason isnt reason enough
to change the unchangeable
is it feasible to be reasonable
in the first place
