Can't Stop...Dependent
Don't ever trust them
They stole cash from their child
Monkey's on their backs
They stole cash from their child
Monkey's on their backs

The Tattoed Lady And The Bald Headed Man
There they go
They're at it again
Fussing and fighting
All night long because
Neither one will give in
Their story's a sad one
They're off and on again
Living a lie and living in sin
Deep into partying
Doing drugs again
They got arrested together
He got released but
She was held instead
She cursed her totally
bad luck with men
Little did the tatooed lady know
Things were getting worse
Than she could have believed
Her bald headed lover
Turned out to be a terrible thief
...

demon kin
in my depths I drown
the darkness acquainted with my soul glower
it had a child of gentleness in its mix
sewing seeds of kindness and respect
the demons weren't used to this
they were accustomed to commands
I showed them love and they respond
telling me of their fears and worries
teaching me their sacred language and traditions
no one cares about demons
they are fearsome creatures
but they have dreams too
and some don't like torturing humans,
living secondhanded lives
they are an ancient culture
one...

Intoxicated
Glinting with a mystical majesty
Painted in surreal clouds of fantasy
Wherever do you hide, my love
Your luster has dulled with time
…
Malignant spirits, in the dead of night
Seek to unravel the tortured mind
With lips that shimmer of the poison
You swore you’d never taste again
…
Lessons you’re forced to relive
No other is quite as powerful as:
We never lose our demons
We only learn to live above them
Painted in surreal clouds of fantasy
Wherever do you hide, my love
Your luster has dulled with time

I was trying to give up alcohol knowing full well that was bullshit
It wasn't the alcohol that was the problem
It was when and how much
I think I figured it out
Widow Jane took me back in her loving arms ....

Metal and Beers \m/
End of a long study night,
Work and blues got after me,
Need some Beer an Metal,
Man, Fuk the system,
Grab couple o Beers out of my fridge
By my window here at night,
Grab my guitar, and Tear…It… The Fuk… Up…
My own style, my own songs,
Then along to what evers playin next
I turn on Danzig, Mother is always good to headbang a bit,
Kill some of the few brain cells left in me,
GOD, That first drink is killer man, Tis the best I always thought
Close my eyes, tilt me head back ...

THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN SAVE YOU IS YOU
The words that have yet been spoken,
the things I need to say
to voice what's within my heart,
I just can't find a way.
I've fought with my emotions,
I've held them deep inside.
I didn't want to face what for so long
you've tried to hide.
I've been lost within the dark
for so long I've seen no light.
Holding on to the memory
of a time when things were right.
I've looked upon your face
and seen the sadness in your eyes,
the battle of addiction
you no longer can disguise.

Your Uber is Here
To make extra money I signed up to be an Uber driver
So I took my car to get detailed and waxed
Later that night I would pick up my first customer
And the person who booked it, his name was Max
It was a late Saturday night so people are out drinking
I had to pick up Max over at La Cienega’s restaurant row
There were a lot of folks up and down the street
The smell of food seemed to be everywhere I’d go
When I got to the place I kept looking for this guy Max
But no one seemed to be looking for my car and make
So I parked...

Chasing the Dragon
filtered hues of rainbow
filled the fantastic landscape
where wishes thought of, lived
during sleepless nights
with the colours of distant
memories filled the space
of his meandering dreams
he surfed on shiny surface
he didn't want to wake up
to a drab existence
picking meagre coins
that jingle in his pocket
in tandem with his dripping sweat
listening to old songs
from an ancient radio
plaintive songs of lost love
he went home to sleep
daily, chasing the dragon
knowing he was trapped
in...

I Can Make You Feel Good
You like that dont you
"Yes I think I do"
There's no one else here except me and you
I can make you feel good
You realize don't you, no one cares but me
I'm the only one that can really see
The fear, the pain, that you endure everyday
If you let me I can make them go away
Just allow me once to be your friend
All rips and tears I will mend
Overeating or afraid of food
Just lie with me, I can make you feel good
Abuse, I'll end of any kind
With a little time I'll heal your mind
Take off everything and get...

Brother's Keeper
Youngest of three brothers
I'm stuck being his
Oldest Brother Keeper
Makes you feel like shit
Because your oldest brother
Likes the creature called
Hard Liquor which causes
Him to do crazy things like
engaging in sexual congress
With an 18 year old girl
Which is very creepy
Because she has Daddy Issues
