Try Stupid **** a Billy Talent parody
My darling, upon the mountain's caress. My schizo-friendly mess in a pineapple dress. I couldn't love less or less of you. Young explorer, drifting from world to world. A huckleberry eye that shifts from trembling duress, with my hands onto her back. Why can't life cut you any slack? The chair is going out under as the skies are mumbling thunder. My violin underneath the sin, sounding from within "...I love you." Broken water bounce from cheek to chest. Your breathing sounds the best. With my words onto your lips, and how the saliva drowns and drips. I grip around your hips, with the world releasing a boulder, that drops upon your shoulder, and I shake you senselessly, why can't god set you free? I can feel from you to me. Blood, down, to ever and let go, with your body in the snow. My river-drowned girl, engulfed by the swirl. Love, oh no, from year to year. Your words so everclear, "I love you, too." Silver-shiner, moon-kissed and ever so, your feet on the bathroom floor, the kills from the handled snore. What I wouldn't give to drink from your fountain. What I wouldn't give to die on your mountain. My darling, from colored-t.v., with a kiss and a motel fee, I could know what the known couldn't, with my fingertips where they shouldn't. Turn down the volume and say that you'll stay another day or three.

I strive to remember when white powder was the flour that we would bake mom cookies with instead of the list of bookies I keep sin in and ring in when I need 'em. I strive to make clear water, ever clear again instead of the Everclear I decided to drown myself in.

You need sunglasses when your staring at me Cause the light I emanate scars the retina of my enemies There is no cure for the blindness you will endure A pain perpetuated by the ignorance so perniciously procured Squared against an inevitable death I easily steal your breath from the barrel of my Smith and Wess Watching your hollow tears bleed on the canvas I project a cataclysmic disaster wrapped up in a dismal death We sit here at the pinnacle of our lives speaking in shadows Masking our mouths from what we oblige Stop and listen to the earth as it decries The subtle architecture of this worldly demise So as we kick back and sorely reside I’ll be the change in the coming tide Caged inside tortured flesh I search for rest to keep the human condition suppressed But all I find each time that I design a new quest I become a servant of death Invigorated by the test I stretch my consciousness to tear the limbs off your chest and beat you senseless I won’t stop there, I’ll slit the throat leaving you without hope and then drown it in Everclear While I may seem like a cynic I’m not through with these gimmicks Lacerating your heart with the bones I striped from your tendons I’m not an advocate of violence but Sometimes the pilot of peace needs to be reached by setting loose the destruction we inherently seek We sit here at the pinnacle of our lives speaking in shadows Masking our mouths from what we oblige Stop and listen to the earth as it decries The subtle architecture of this worldly demise And I’ll hide my words with silence And I’ll no longer become violent Just another subservient machine lost in a sea of tyrants I won’t be blunt here I’ll keep dropping metaphorical bombs onto your ears Until all my peers understand the imminent plan that needs to be adhered: Stop short cause change is impossible to purport Don’t dream cause it’ll get shattered with a corporate hammer Stay sinking in a world that raises a stagnant banner Assimilate with the overzealous overweight materialism that manifests in the minds of the poor and is perpetuated by strip malls and ******

Came and left gone and dead give me life upon this hearth I cry Give me chance give me death I’m just a poor man looking for my life to save All my days I’ve tried to validate my own existence so the pain would steer away into the ocean so blue and everclear don’t tell me I’m saved save myself in the meantime Free my head free my heart free my hand from this bloodstream rolling and collating down my sideburns so hot hot hot burn burn Stop Knocking behind my eyelids like magma underground but hell is a place above ground

Fractal Pattern Fiction
I guess the reason I text you drunk at 3 in the morning is because I have so many things to say to you and I don't have the courage to say them without the aid of 151 Proof Everclear grain alcohol. And the boy I was sharing the ***** with didn't mind me talking about you. The Boy with the Sunshine face didn't mind hearing all about that one time you and I danced. He didn't mind hearing about the one time you kissed me and he didn't mind me texting you. In the morning I laughed it off unlike my hangover. Just like the day before, the first thing I reached for was my pipe and after that it was my phone. And at 11:30 in the morning I read the text you had sent at 9 the same morning. I guess all I really want is you. And that's dumb to say because I want a job and a ranch and maybe a dime bag. But out of all these things I want to hold you most. And I want to kiss your face and touch your waists. As much fun as I had receiving this hickey it would be nice to have one from you. To the Girl who Gave Me This Hickey: Thank you, it was fun.

151 Proof
Inspiration arrives in the wee hours of the morning Like a fresh snowfall that won't stick Teasing, tickling my brain Inducing a rumbling hunger for snow cream and chapped cheeks A floating half-cadence Stinging like the stale metallic aftertaste of the cavity I can't see But I know I need filled Like the hole you left when you were digging behind my back Smiling beneath my feet and I fell a little deeper Like you did into me under the Everclear Night sky after we dropped Altering our minds in a place we called home In the company of our tribal community diving head-first into pursuit of personhood By the hand of a tedium spring and temporary cushion Where the new members must've watched behind closed lids Before another night like the previous nights consisting of little sleep. There's an assignment to complete Suppressed by the urge to go for a night run to strengthen those thighs I didn't intend to open, I swear to God I never intended anything to result in this Unresolved half cadence in the i-V-i progression That I didn't compose on the theory test I didn't pass today because I didn't finish. There exists no focus to the wisps of ideas slapping these cerebral walls Like lingering tendrils of broken thread and splattered paint on a drunk summer night. It's too chilly now on the off days and perfect on the on's So I will wait, patiently, more or less To avoid dropping the wisps and distasteful run-on sentences Into your feigning palms willing to grasp me again Because what the hell else would I do?

I was a ****** to the taste of alcohol for 18 years until the day I lost it to you My first drink was a mix between reality and denial This glass consumed the toxins from this relationship that I fell addictive too I guess that makes you a double shot of *** No, I guess that makes you alcohol poisoning Because it felt as though you broke into my liquor cabinet and wrote your name on each bottle Just to remind me why I am drinking in the first place You shattered those empty bottles against my heart until I bled our memories I guess that was your way of breaking the bad news You used each shard to pierce my ribs Becuase you never wanted to see us as one Each shot of Tequila reminds me just how our relationship tasted Sweet when drunk, but bitter when sober Your name ran marathons down my esophagus anytime I found myself swallowing the sharp cracks and dents from this Crown A puddle of Crown sat stagnant at the bottom of my stomach Normally, Brown is the only thing that sparks a fire in my throat But your attitude was more flammable than a full bottle of Everclear And not even Bacardi 151 burns as bad as the feeling you left on my lips I yearned for the nights where it was just me, you, and Hennessey But now I spend my 2 am nights in the deepest of conversation with Jim and Jack But each sip brings me closer to the bottom Reminding me how we hit rock bottom We hit rock bottom when you drove this relationship straight into a brick wall You allowed our love to ride in the passenger unbuckled So I guess that makes you a murderer Because you killed everything we had And now that you’re gone I subconsciously drink slowly I drive slow Hoping reality won't hit me so hard I was hoping to eventually find you when I swallowed the last drop Searching for the paradise I tried to give us while downing this Long Island But instead I was brought back to the realization that you and alcohol go hand and hand Both giving me the best feeling one night Then leaving me numb With the same emptiness I felt before I picked up this bottle And the last thing I want Is to wake up tomorrow morning With the remnants of your taste still sitting on the tip of my tongue You are my hangover

packed house so many faces your's didn’t stand out but your hands did as they found their way into my pants please don’t look at me like that I know what you’re thinking I am quite aware of my appeal because I’m not pretty but I’m pretty enough and I’m not skinny but I’m skinny enough and I’m not innocent but I’m vulnerable enough you said you saw it in my eyes that I’m really good at fake smiles and ringing laughter however this green glass screamed sadness sadness which you ignored as you helped me up when I fell over (drunk) you left and I threw up in my trashcan which is okay because the boys that ask to stay scare me more than the ones who don’t did I mention this is my least favorite time of the night? and no one really knows that everything festers at 3:37am it’s not the alcohol that makes my head spin (I can do that on my own) while I’ve never been lost in the light I have drowned in the darkness so I try to sob softly enough that the thin walls won’t give me away my friend told me to deep breathe in situations like this but my breath only reminds me of yours hot and sticky on my naked neck so I shove the melatonin down my throat because my Xanax prescription hasn’t arrived yet and I congratulate myself on not doing coke tonight one small step at a time right?

a cluttered fragrant death
It smells of soco in the air. She gave up her body to preserve her dignity But in the end, she lost that too. There is nothing dominant in dominance. Only preservation And perpetuation of a dying era. Unless dominance is dominance. In which case, bring your pipes. Pipes, pipes, pipes, pipes, pipes, A thousand and three pipes And not a single one of them on key. You say it doesn't make much sense, But frankly **** you.” No one's got a gun to your temple Praising the ivory role of the natural order. That theory died out with hanging paper clips Clinching yellowed notepads in their skinny fists Shouting praises to Everclear to the heavens. Just ask Salinger what it means to be expected And I'll tell you my opinion on life.

hey hey I tried to write a song about you today It wasn't very good so I threw it away The words were scrambled they had no rhythm There really was nothing I could do I was going to say I loved you Then I second guessed myself My eyes opened and I realized what was broken I've be questioning my brain ever since Chorus: But it's alright, hip hip hooray, I have finally seized the day, Who cares if I throw it all a way, One more Song One more Kiss What the hell is there to miss These are the last words I can give What really happened in your mind That made us broken, with no rewind You're stuck in the past,and I'm in the future I begin to wonder who is the loser No it's not fair, things never are I pick up drugs over the bar They promise me you'll disappear With one more drink of everclear (chorus) We are all falling, down an empty hole (r)No more goodbyes this is the last one The next time we meet I'll already be gone Under the sheets so white and brown Here is my blood that's staining the ground ... One last song, one last kiss I know I'll be missed (r)

I want to tear you away from the clouds From the ballfields way away from here To scream right at your face in violins And swelling horns and drums crashing Choirs crying out a deafening triumph! You would be blinded by your own tears And your smile would light up this passage of time Galaxies would burst open with our hesitation We come closer and closer, clouds explode Three suns are yours, eyes and mouth Enwrapped in snow, we'd clasp and dig holes In each other's backs. I want to grab hold of your ribcage I want to open my door and fly under six feet At the force of your body totaling mine Your lips breaking my teeth Our tongues tied. Bones bleeding into one another Color receding... Your initials in the sky Title biting Fall into my chest... Seraph, succubus, Everclear angel.

Everclear Angel
My worth is not found In thirty tablets of Tylenol Extra Strength Chased by several shots of Everclear Or inside someone else's body. I used to immerse myself in this lifestyle Until I realized I was going to waste The feeling in my bones went missing My desire to find that passion sank like an anchor No search party, no Amber Alert I was on my own Missing an integral part of me. I like bridges now And I never used to. I like flying now I used to hate it. But now, I look down I don't want to plummet into the blanket of water beneath me I don't want to hit the ground without living first. My mind still takes me to the ruins of my past sometimes It still holds me hostage with a gun laden with dark thoughts But I will stay alive. I have every reason to be dead I have one reason to be here: I deserve it. Now, I drive over the George Washington Bridge Keep my hands steady on the wheel Sing my heart out to my favorite X Ambassadors song Now, I sit strapped in on Delta airlines The pilot talks about ascending And I allow myself to rise. He says, "We are at fifty-thousand feet" I smile My spirit is now immersed in my own body I let my tears wash over me like a monsoon Because I am alive, darling I do not want to jump, or fall this time I deserve to stay soaring.

Love at 50,000 Feet
your clothes are scattered on your floor. my eyes glaze over at the thoughts that come. which of these clothes did he take off of her? did she lift them off for him? i know he leaves you feeling ****** you told me on the phone he came inside you. my teeth grind. eyes water, lips tremble, hands shake. Mary Beth told me to be strong, "you always take care of us, but this time lick your own wounds." i'm too proud to say i feel it-- too proud to say i don't find sleep 'til 3 a.m.. all i think of in bed is you ********** for him. i take a few hits of everclear, write some ****** poetry, and replay your laughter over and over and over again.

I am the emotional ostrich that you have made. You have bred me to hate To trust no one of flesh. Vain outlets you will never read. The sun will never see itself rise. You are a list of let downs And post-its of false promise. Compulsive like the moon Spinning through everything and nothing. You are the core of my being And remain the sand in my ears.

Everclear
No one ever told me it would get so lonely. That there would be no one home, waiting to hold me. Is there another way? Can someone please show me? I look like I’m swimming, but I’m drowning, homie. No one ever said that everything is a lie, That wars should be waged without asking how or why, That we all live in a corporate-sponsored pig-sty, Where protesting nets you a Colombian necktie. No one ever mentioned the predatory interests, Nor the dimension of mandatory contingents; Never thought I would hear of “peace-keeping” armies, Nor of these deceitful, political parties. What we were told as children was very different, Like a testimony that’s too inconsistent. I remember hearing about true liberty, That the world aims to eliminate poverty. We weren’t taught to understand, digest and think; We follow the invisible hand to the brink. We did hear that anyone who works hard, gets there; Then why are we starving whilst working our bones bare? No one ever prepared us for this **** right here. No warning about how life hits like Everclear. At least, now I know how ****** we are. Drinks are on me; let’s **** up the bar.

Downing whiskey that isn’t mine The bottle’s owners’ angry gives me a black eye Crack it over his head now it’s a fight You got to admit it’s a funny sight Lost my papers, roll a blunt Don’t call the cops you stupid **** You can try it all you want But you can never control us Pound one down Light one up Take a tab Now it’s time, time for the 2nd round Acid, molly and some bud Certain things we use for fun Looking for kicks, thrills and shocks Maybe we’ll get laid with some luck Pound one down Light one up Take a tab Now it’s time, time for the 3rd round There’s an ******** rave in my head I’m hallucinating again I can feel my heart race As I watch angels fornicate Full of loathing and the fear There’s something not quite right in here There’s demons devouring little kids Let’s go again Pound one down Light one up Take a tab Now it’s time, time for the 4th round Shoot another Everclear down We can do this coke I just found Puke all over your girl’s night gown Then wake up .up on the cold hard ground Pound one down Light one up Take a tab Now it’s time, time for the final round

Chasing the Evening With a 5th of *****
Come witness the death of a young star, crippling flares bursting from the retinas. Succumb to her madness. A deformed creature of habit - unintelligent, misguided scoundrel ravenously craving the one she can't have. ***** breathing. Sanguine drippings run down white feet - she tears the rampant emotions out from her skin. Hush! She can hear you... Wander uselessly through the South. An old acquantance becomes your sole purpose. A waxing! A wedding. A waning... weeping. Wanderer, you are banished back to the ice. Learn to obey, or learn to become creative in your rebellion. Hold your heart just close enough to smell the metallic tang, but not too close or you'll ash on it. Breathe in little Wanderer, you have so much potantial. Cut out the poison Cut out the poison Cut out the poison Drench the wounds in Everclear Burn away your doubts My eyes can see nothing safe or sound in these days Take me back to October Take me back to my old life I want my little nest with my mate and my young and my potholders and my clutter I want to sleep next to something I want to die Crying little children, all of you. I am just one more.

Announcement
Running outside under a quiet moon, Moments stolen in a crowded room. Gentle curves over table edges, Absolut-ly visual perfection. You long for a touch more intoxicating than everclear, Because all you want is whoever is near.

Alcohol
I have some things I just can't get off my chest. There's no one to listen & you don't feel relief If you vent to the deaf. I looked in my heart & there just isn't anything left. Xanax covered in everclear closed my eyes then saw my own death. Is this a puzzle? Is this a test? Not sure but me losing this fight pretty soon is a good guess.
