The Song I Sing
Her body was acoustic
Her skin a melody
My mind hung on every note
As she sung her life to me
Her passion was a crescendo
Although her tone was soft
With a cadence of bounding horses
She threw my rhythm off
I felt all of my heart strings
Pop, break and go out of tune
He voice cracked
All I heard was feedback
As she measured me up from across the room
I walk to her in 3/4 time
I struck up a chord - she told me a rhyme
She was well versed in french poetry
A deep bodied bass with fine copper strings
I was her rosin
I was her trill
Together we sang
We're singing still
Her body acoustic
Her skin a melody
Her mind on different wavelengths
She's the song I sing

Drugs
Drugs never felt so good
as when they're covering pain
They're the umbrella put up
to keep out the rain
Sometimes it's nice, but right now
I don't want to get wet
So, pass the bottle, spark a joint,
and roll another cigarette

Time to move along
Made everything so simple, it became complicated
Found what I was looking for.. couldn't get situated
Now I'm just frustrated
My best laid plan was a dream all along
Tricked into believing in right vs. wrong
Now it's time to move along

The Midnight Clock
A lot of times I walk alone
And wonder as I walk
How would it be if I were never born
12 bells of the midnight clock
I think first of my family
And then -- to my friends
And the times we had spent together
That never would have been
The many people that crossed my path
Even if only brief
For it doesn’t take long to share a moment
That lasts an eternity
So I may never know what could
And couldn’t be
But looking back at all I’ve done
It’s been worth it to be me

Robbed By Nature
I was robbed by nature
The only thing stollen was my life
I've been bound and held against my will
Forced to face simple beauty
Made to leave the technologies of man behind
And I have not looked back

Here Alone I Stand
I am trying to feel anything
Like others across the land
With senses dulled
And feelings cold
Here alone I stand

The doors of protection
No one thanks a door for doing what it's told
Though very important is the job they hold
Think of all the cold and bugs they keep away
So, thank the lord for doors when you pray.
