Open up neon cracks in the city walls where the bars and strip clubs
Things go bad when shark toothed homeless sleep next to a fire
And a pail of rain false down

They built this house
In 1939
A tornado ripped straight down the street
And missed this house only

You can't understand what its like
To keep those ice cold arms around me
Keep me from feeling any and all pain
Placing momentary perfection
In place of sanity



Roll up your **** sleeves.......
Maybe you shouldn't look so much like trouble
Maybe it won't find you
From a second story window
She yells
Only your name
And flips the bird

Stopping the burn with liquor communication that twists me back into
Billows of smoke
Tongues of fire

I am no one can't you understand
That I am just a brain
With just eyes
Living through millions of electric impulses

Im just like you looking through two eyes

Mud between my fingers
****** lip
Leaking broken nose

I walked just far enough into the dark and cold hills
Until I could look back and see no light
No cars
No humans

Just me and the mountains
And the star filled night
