this benzo hole
you've found yourself in
yesterday was a bad day
too many pills
and not enough escape
And honestly I didn't see
this conversation coming
didn't think you had the insight
after watching you fuck yourself
up for months now
stealing my prescription drugs
telling me you'll pay me back
you just have to get a doc
to sign off on what you need
(and you can always get
what you need)
And I want to believe
we're on the same level ...
looking for the light
body relaxed but brain racing
and you couldn't fuck this restlessness
out of my bones
and now I watch you sleeping
peaceful, beautiful, brain switched off
and I wish I was where you are
eyes closed, dreaming of better places
than here
Cause I could go for
round two, three, and more
but we're not young anymore
and you prefer the downers
that pool you on the floor
sink you into the bedsheets
and take you away
from this thing we call life
And I wonder why it...
I stand, you chase
let the anxiety fade from your grasp
and breathe in a reality that only exists
on the other side of the drug cocktail you mixed
I can't remember the last time
you fucked me
with nothing but blood in your veins
and I wonder if you like me better
when you're only half in the game
But then you look at me
like I'm the end of your world
like I'm the beginning of everything
like I'm the spark at the start of the universe
And I don't fucking understand
how you can walk...
MELTING..The Castle..5/5
Into the still of the summer night
When we returned chaos transpired
Pagans and warlocks wanting a bite
They wanted some of what we were on
But Dave provided us protective cover
He knew we were extremely far gone
Still looking for new lands to discover
So he worked out some future deals
So I could escape and avoid the hassle
A distribution network and other ideals
As Andrea and I escaped to the castle
We crossed over the drawbridge
And entered into our...
an actor i knew
I saw him sitting alone in the dining room
of a small hotel, drinking brandy with coke
his handsome face was bloated, and he was
deep in his cups
I told him of the Humblebee story when
he played Schultz, and he chuckled
he was a man in agony drinking had
become relentless, whatever reasons
he drank, but the hurt didn't go away
he had lost his wife to cancer and thought
of killing himself, as a trained counselor
I knew better than to give advice
on how to stop drinking
His girlfriend came, had...
half way fallen
reach for my tunes
it's habit now
to quiet some of the noise
in my head
I resist the urge to fuck myself
cause I'm getting tired
of chasing empty escapes
though I'm aching for anything
that feels like
sweet temporary oblivion
I skip the Valium
if I can't see the bottle
it can't whisper the promise
of sleepy numb into my psyche
though I'm thinking about it
It's 7:30am and I'm crying
on the kitchen floor
wishing I hadn't got stoned last night
because on a...

self medicating
got a joint saved for later
Spent forty minutes
watching porn
trying to make myself cum
so wet
so empty
so disconnected
flicking through videos
trying to find someone
to watch that's not faking it
cause I know what it looks like
to see a woman enjoying herself
and the only thing I'm enjoying
is the slick heat between my legs
though it's not getting me anywhere yet
I'm two Valium down
got a joint for later
passing out to sex songs
in my Spotify playlist...

letter to myself
I'm really fucking proud of you
I know we've been walking
that edge lately
between coming and going
between setting life on fire
and trying to smother the sparks
that are already in motion
We're constantly surrounded
by stoners and alcoholics
and the occasional meth addict
but you never let it
get inside your head
you never slip
you smile
play nice
lock your housemate's patio door
at night when he passes out
with the screen wide open
We could get stoned...
a different kind of love
Easy, in and out your breath
lungs unsullied by cigarette smoke
Siesta nap, a lazy Sunday afternoon
when flowers are recklessly nude
Breath, taking
should you stop
I would fall into a chasm
pale rainbows, a stillborn moon
rusty stars
where words of love go unheard
Do not leave me alone
in a city park
where old men chew tobacco
and tell passers-by
how old they are
blink
since I got stoned for fun
Tonight I'm in the mood
to let go
so I ask for a joint
and you give me that sad look
that says you're a bad influence
but you'll roll me a joint anyway
cause you can never say no to me
And you're talking that technical dope language
that I don't understand
cause I can't grow a bunch of parsley
let alone something I can smoke
and I'm too stoned for a science
more complicated than star gazing
BLINK
SWITCH
We're making iced...
Drugs make the world spin around
But the drugs say another
Why don't you sober up
Or suck the tit of your brother
The milky way is vast
Search for wisdom or hang yourself to dry
You should have pity on your soul
Pull the pins out from your eyes
The candle blows out
May the sky burn up in smoke
You give everyone an ulcer
Such an asshole, such a joke
Say cheese scumbag
You were once loved but now we all hate
I'd love to cut the disease out of you
Have you thought about your fate?
Creole werewolf
Sitting by a lake in the moonlight.
Enjoying all in sight.
Sssspp, yeah deep hit.
Moments like dis regain your wit.
Little thinking and roll Dat good shit.
Creole werewolf or stray dog.
I am what I am see through the fog.
Just keep burning that Olde tree log.
