Up and down and
Up and down and
Up and down and
Down.
Revolving moods and
Take a chance
Take two shots
And hope you'll hit one.
Five steps up and
Six steps down and
You're wrong
Always,
You're wrong
Try to sleep and
My former mind
She makes things whirl around in my head
As the pounds melted off and
Eyeliner appeared
Was it all just game,
Have I won
?

The memory of what he did brought even more memories to mind
Slow at first but picking up speed, it's all starting to unwind
I don't want to look, I don't want to find
But when I close my eyes there they are right behind

It's been almost a year, but all these thoughts have come rushing in
Because it is mushroom season again
The woods I would have to go within
I always loved to romp about out there,but now thoughts twist and bend
Losing my sanctuary was the greatest sin

Dragging me out to my beautiful wood, so I could be his prey
The feel of the freash damp earth under foot, birds chirping in the trees, I will remember it ALL till my dying day

My hands tied behind my back, it would be easier for him that way
He pushed me to my knees, invading me from behind just like my step daddy did so a ****** I'd stay
He knew it would bring back those memories of my yesterday's

With that veil evil deed, so many things got lost
My woods, singing birds, the river's bend, what a cost
No more fishing, no more camping, no place to take off my disguise
No sanctuary to run to, all of this I'm starting to realize

He was an intelligently crazy
He was destroy the last place that was my safety
He was taking my last bit of joy I could get
He was very cunning in that, I'll have to admit

He found away to continue to bring me agony
After all these years he couldn't just let me be
He made my tormented life worse by many degrees
So now standing at the edge of the woods I freeze

He took my place
To feel warm and safe
New and catastrophic agony is now a cold fire inside
There is no place to hide
It's left me fighting hard not to end it all and die

365 days
It's the new year
Time to "start freash"
Try and "fix" the broken holes
We're do I begin
With him, or them, or that
Congratulations to me I made it
365 more days till I sing that again
Happy New Years all!!! How you have a great night/day!

Buried alive in a worm box
As he smuggle stood on top
"***** I'm burying you alive"
"No one will hear your cries"
The worms wiggled around behind my back
I struggled there in the pitch black
The smell of freash earth was so overpowering
And on top he just stood up there towering
I clawed at the lid
Of that old frig
But he was to heavy it did not give
My oxygen was soon depleted
I knew then I was defeated
Buried alive in a worm box
Who would of ever thought

As you can see I survived that day
But when at last on a cold slab I lay
And when they put that tag on my toe
It's off to the crematorium I go
Because being buried once is quite enough
I really am not all that tough

Shoved and crammed into a worm box
As he smuggle stood on top
"***** I'm burying you alive"
"No one will hear your cries"
The worms wiggled around behind my back
I struggled there in the pitch black

And on top he just stood there towering
I clawed at the lid
Of that old frig
But he was to heavy it did not give
My oxygen was soon depleted

And when they put that tag on my toe

A canvas freash and white
Paint that's red and bright
Strokes placed with care
All done with the blankets stare
She drains her soul on to the canvas
For the final picture she is anxious
Sadly she will never see it
For amongst the paint she sits
Help was the only word upon her skin
Carved over old creations again and again
This newest piece of art
Is when she finally split her wrist and fell apart

Met this girl today.
Her name is Jonnie Rea.
Into heavy Metal.
But to me she was like a freash petal.
All thought Jonnie Rea is young.
and I am very old.
I will be so bold.
As to say Jonnie Rea.
Will someday.
Boldly go where none have gone before.

Waiting on the fog to lift, the smoke to clear
Fighting off the fear
Of what will be revealed
Of what fate and the universe has sealed
Waiting to see how the deck is stacked
What part of me will soon be attacked

Will it be my head again
That gray matter is already in a spin
Will it be my heart
Although I can't find a piece, a part
Will it be my flesh
With all of it's scars, no space is unused, or freash
Or will it be my spirit
Does it not already know that's broken too, I hear it

So universe go ahead, go to it
I'll be here waiting for more of your ****
I won't give you the pleasure of knocking me down
I'll already be lying on the ground
I won't hide, I'll be easy to find
My death certificate already signed
Me and the Grim Reaper will be having tea
My white flag is already raised, so let be what's gonna be
Under the stars beside the back water
That after rain to this creek made its way

Out there the stars were always brilliant
Felt I could hang my washing on some
Ever close were they to earth it seemed
Most of all the Southern Cross for one

The night birds ( Owls ) came to see
As I'd thrown a large steak on a rack
Over the camp fire I' built just away
Bbreezes took the fragrance brought it back

A pan of pan fried onions as well near fire
And a *** of black billy tea sugar  to taste
Rolled out my sag under a tarp close by
Cooking nice and slow never any waste

Played an old tune on mouth ***** awhile
The stars heard and moved closer still
The wild dogs dingos gave a howl aways
One shot from rifle gone don't think they will

The mosqiuto's are large pick teeth on bullock horns
But I had a spray handy that took good care of that
My dog snuggled up by fire bright getting cooler
Wanted me to join him so instard he took my hat

Away out there so freash the outback air to breath
The fragrance of the bush that wished I could buy
A man could get rich if it'd go into a bottle true
Fills ones lungs with oxygen has a grown man sigh

Horse hobbled saddle hanging on a pole with blanket
Outback nature so naturally simply more that divine
I'm telling you that meal was ever great with cup of tea
Curled up after with a few old dreams of mine
