Blue veins and Marlboro lips.
I've got open wounds from my wrists to my hips.
And we've got some left over whiskey so we're just taking sips.
Doing everything in our power not to sink these ships.

He lowered his head toward the steering wheel
And I fell silent just to let him feel.
We watched the kids we grew up with bleed from their noses.
Disappearing with their friends' prescriptions and hanging from nooses.
But he took the deepest cut and came out swinging with the least bruises.
Those dreams of pulling a trigger under your tongue haven't made you useless.
Because the longer you stand in the dark, the brighter the sun is when it diffuses.
Don't call me back
Cause I will be gone out the door
Don't get my attention
Cause now My heart is torn
But I will ignore the pain
I will forget that I even liked you
Cause you showed me
That you ain't worth it anymore

Look at you pretty girl
all scared by the world,
tears carve a broken face.

And you stare at the mirror
and see
the disaster play,
in those awful mistakes.

but come fire or come rain you
remain the same,
as calm as quiet waters,
sad grace.

What will it take
to make you safe
in the cold, darkness of sin?

and as a helping hand,
does light bend,
to shine;
around planets and man
alike.

So you've made it through
as few do...
putrid in toxic waste.

Changed by the fate
as Titanic sank,
can you like God forgive?

But right now,
palmed wild thoughts tare
a seam
hopelessly thin.

It takes patience and rhyme
for love to find room
in a crowded inn.
what can I say, but we all go mad from time-to-time.
Change is in the air,
I can feel it in my bones
Moving homes
Things coming clear
I see who my true friends are
And I see where I belong
Who truly does care
And I will not let my insecurity tell me differently.
Im beginning to better myself.
I heard the earth wept today
She looked scared as her branches grew up towards
The twisted rays of the sun
She moaned as the wind took its own shape across the ocean
Inside she could feel warmth that blew holes
Into her beating heart

The earth wept today
Beneath her blankets of sorrow
I could hear her sigh
Conforming to her energy
She took a deep breath
And her rivers raged on

The earth ached today
She tossed aside her former self
As she looked painfully into her future
Her grass filled with anger expanding into thistles
Towards the sun
The sad creatures of her abode crawled into their dark corners
And requested her forgiveness

I heard the world weep today
She told me to pay attention
As I laid shirtless in December
On the ground
And I listened

The world is weeping.

If I could write like Edgar Allen Poe
Then everyone would know my name
Or maybe paint like Da Vinci
I would surely know his fame

But I don't have any life changing words
Or paintings to hang on the walls
They'll be no hall of fame for me
Or any other famous halls

If I could tell a captivating story
Like the stories that Mark Twain told
The things I'd write would be on display
And be worth their weight in gold

Or compose like Wolfgang Mozart
My music would be admired for years
A piece of history that will last forever
A legacy that never disappears

But if I were like any one of these here
Then my work would go unheard
And then who would tell my life's story
As my soul gives birth to word
