I have a rubber band ball snapping apart in the inside of my heart
And in my mouth, hitting clinched teeth
Being full of screams

Their vibrations tumble down
And I can feel each and every sound

They pull on my veins
And play them like guitar strings

They tingle the scars
Each one lighting up like stars

They ring like church bells
The sound unavoidable

They sing a lullaby

‘Scream and cry, scream and cry
Don’t you want to die
It’s not easy to say goodbye
Isn’t that why you lie?

Break the ties
Muffle your cries
Turn all of your screams to sighs

The anxiety will be over
It’s just a lullaby'

A housewife didn't think it a treat
When, at night, he peed on the seat.
     The next time he did
      She'd put down the lid.
Who says that revenge isn't sweet?

The Good Book says not to deceive.
What I say here is true, I believe.
     Upon some reflection,
     When it comes to injection,
It's more blessed to give than receive.

Concerning life's woes and its weals:
The women who know how it feels
    To be used. and then left
    Forlorn and bereft
Should recall that time wounds all heels.

Skid row calls my name, the shame of it all...

The call of the wild beat me to a pulp
Had to quit drinking in order to rethink my strategy...

Tragedy struck, broke down my pick up truck!
Got stolen again, what the dig dog duck?

When will I win?

Lost in space, all my memories been erased...

I'm in the wrong side of town...

The wrong side of the law...
Upside down, headed for a fall!

That's all...

When you pack and unpack
And move into your dorm
What will you do
With the memories I tucked into your hand
With the hand I gave you to trust
With the smile that you always summon from me
With the words I made sure you heard
With the heart I've given you

Will you bring them with you
Or leave them for your brothers to pick through
