Cracked glasses
Shredded tights
Broke *****
Sleepless nights.

Piled dishes
Tired eyes
Hollow wishes
Finance lies.

Poor and sad
Kids getting cold
But I'm glad
No one's told.

We move along
With mouths closed
Sing that song
No one knows.

Being broke is tough
Being alone is worse
What will be enough?
Who'd lift this curse?

Some say it's inherited
Some say it's funny
That we're not merited
For even milk money.

So it's down we go
Is there road up ahead?
We will never really know
We just push on instead.

Without a house to lose
Or a car to sleep
We don't have to choose
Which treasures we should keep.

Money's just paper, right?
Coins are just pounds
But we count all night
Doing the income rounds.

Cadillacs in our dreams?
Maybe so on occasion
But few it seems
Are of that persuasion.

No money left
None at all
So time's set
For our downfall.

Late at night,
Not really anything
Setting it right
Pawning a ring.

Bounced checks
Running away
******* wrecks
Without pay.

Baby pouts
Getting sunny?
Going without
Milk money.

Das brennende Herz


Ich liebe dich.
Ich blute dich.
Ich beobachten Ihren jeden Atemzug.
können wir immer weglaufen, bis nichts mehr übrig.

Lassen Sie uns gehen weg für immer, können wir in der Samt Mond tanzen.
Ich werde dich halten.
Ich werde dich küssen
Bis meine zitternden Lippen blau.

können Sie Ihr Zuhause in dem Feuer meines Herzens finden
oder Sie können mich mit dieser sengenden lange stare brennen
Ich brauche dich.
Ich werde Verzweiflung.

Ich werde Sie Schlaganfall.
Auf der Wange so weich und langsam.
Aber ich will nicht das Gefühl, die Liebe, die Sie tun,
Ich werde mit kaltem gefüllt werden.

Ich werde bis zum Tod zu springen.
Ich halte den Atem an.
Wenn das alles was man braucht um dir zu gefallen.
Also sag mir, Liebling, was Sie wollen, was muss ich tun?

Sie sehen unsere Liebe ist ein brennendes Herz.
Ich brauche es.
Ich hasse es.
Schmerz, aber notwendig von Anfang an.

They call her crazy, but she says its not true.
She spends late hours, thinking it through.

How about bliss? A trip you don't return?
Or just a quick swig to ease the concern?

A thick dose of Oxy? That'll do the trick.
Oh, but that girl, how she fears the hard trip...

She's quiet, frustrated, biting in her lip.
A little bud might help, but she knows she won't quit.

Her head's always pulsing, pain in every blink.
Blurry eyes, blood dripping in the bathroom sink.

No it's not normal, but that's not the point.
She doesn't care at all as she picks up a joint.

One more round, in a circle we go,
What really happened to her, we'll never know.

But she keeps her knives and her blades aligned,
She brushes her hair and she smiles at the signs.

Sure, he's there. She says he keeps her sane.
But we all know, he's no part of this game.


"How 'bout a kiss?" What? on those ***** lips?
Never, she vows. But aloud "How 'bout this?"

*****? Not quite. She's all about god.
"Maybe he'll let her in," her mother just nods.

In to heaven? Well now that's a thought.
She'd probably be sent there if she ever got caught.

But the sin marks the sinner, forever amen.
So she starves to get thinner, and tries it again.

One crimson line straight down the snow.
This last time, she'll lose her subtle glow.

No more hospitals, and no more fear.
That girl is leaving, the one he held so dear.

They'll cry and they'll sniffle, but deep down they'll all know,
Nobody wanted her, the girl had to go.

Quick like a light, but slow like the wind.
The way that she started, and the way she will end.

They said she was crazy, now they know it was true.
She picks up the knife, there's only one thing to do...

Yes I'm tired, I'm quickening my breath.
Tell me I have the energy, but I know there's nothing left.
Sleepy and sick, lost beyond repair,
Tell me you can help, but the truth is you don't care.

I remember as a child
How all was free and easy.
Then the second I filled my shoes,
Things stopped being so **** breezy.
You can say I have it all together,
But I'm taking it day by day
Smile coyly and laugh it off, but just know I'm not okay.

Yes I'm tired, I can't stand this constant cold.
Only if you pretend to know
all the secrets I never told.

Tired.

I'm panting, exhausted, dragging my lead feet.
Now it is becoming clear
I'm too tired to even sleep.

The sun won't shine without your blood, so maybe I'm in love with you.
Something there just pulls me foreword, passion in the way you move...

My chest it pounds to the sound of tears, theres no sleeping in till dawn.
So wrap yourself a little tighter
around the words that came out wrong.
Your lips could pierce the halo I've sealed with a hammer,
careful in their calculated plot.
But no one or thing can replace for you
the love that I forgot.

I can feel the leather of your skin, fingers trailing up so high.
Nerves and shivers pull their weight, hazel eyes try not to cry.
Each tear you drop is another lost cause, pain and blood prevail.
But my dear the rain will bring tomorrow, so slowly extract the nails.

Dry your eye and take my hand, it'll always be beside you.
For someday baby you'll miss your man, but I think maybe I'm in love with you.

Life is a funny thing, don't you think?
We spend years in a chase with content, and very few reach what they seek,
yet we all will die eventually.
We see him coming. We hide behind large walls and turn our face from his stinging gaze set on our core.
But nothing will stop him from taking us.
No amount of worry or fear or hard work will shield you from the inevitable dance with death.
So why do we try?
We strive,
We thrive,
We even bring others in on this game of chase-tail.
But we all know none lasts. So why do we live?

Because we have nothing else to do.
So if there is a god,
(None know for certain)
He is quite the creative fellow.
All hues of skin, bright waves of personality, unique and twisted plots.
JFK, ******, the titanic, cable television, the string theory, polyester fiber, *******, iPhones, apple pie, band camp, the trojan war, electric blankets, Einstein's laws.
Where does he come up with this stuff???

Such effort put into a place some will only be in for a few hours, others for half a century or more, just to reach the same expected fate.
Time is relative.
Life is relative.
But we make it such an overwhelmingly relevant thing.
Simply because we have nothing better to do.
