The Shelf
I remember the times from my youth, a time when I had very few role models.
I grew belligerent, ignorant and uncouth;
As I was shown the value of liquor bottles.
Firsthand experience, I sadly held this coal.
Burned to the quick as it scorched my very soul.
This is no excuse for my actions, for every person isn’t the same.
Some can handle these liquids, but to think I could, I was insane.
I seen what it did to my father, I seen what it did to my mother.
I seen what it...

It is worrying when your mind is electrocuted by overthinking when you know for sure the system
is out to get you
The man sat naked on his roof as was his want none can deny this common right.
They tried to get him down from there, but he insisted they must hear his earth-shattering poems
of the sort that make grown men weep, go home
make love to their wives, and start a sheep farm in the utter Hebrides.
They got him down from the roof by telling him a hall was ready for him to speak, his dog didn't believe this and bit a nurse's ankle. ...

Leave your killer behind
Nothing has changed
Still the same old me
Face in the toilet
Staring at my destiny
It's not what I envisioned
When I was a little boy
That killing my cares
Would be my favorite toy
Sick sad heart
Sick sad mind
Just want to go home
But I can't leave myself alone
Sick sad heart
Sick sad mind
What do you do
When you can't run away
And leave your killer behind
Still the same old me
Face in the toilet
Staring at my destiny
It's not what I envisioned
When I was a little boy
That killing my cares
Would be my favorite toy
Sick sad heart
Sick sad mind
Just want to go home
But I can't leave myself alone
Sick sad heart
Sick sad mind
What do you do
When you can't run away
And leave your killer behind

Lost angel
Time kills but memories live eternal
Time fails and memories always fade
When I first saw you
A blazing angel in summer's night
You were lost among the mortals
Craving to be graced by your light
And when I speak
To you tonight
Bless me with
Your flaming sight
You see me bleed
Renew me with God's speed
Time heals but memories live eternal
Time fails and memories always fade
Last time that I saw you
Fading into autumn's night
Freezing in the chilling rain
Wishing to conjure back your...

One for the road .
Any man can fuck you Friday night out of your mind drunk . Vodka and wine running through your veins to make you invincible and to save you at the same time You wake up feeling less relaxed next to who you don’t know and scuffle to find your shoes and your mind is playing a tune it’s on repeat those Saturday morning blues . Deep down you know this isn’t what you want to live and die at the same time .You’re an oxymoron who just wants to feel normal who ends up mending fences and singularly breaking them down . You swear on all the saints you don’t know just to give you the strength at the end...

Assimilation complete
A disease courses through the veins
Corrupting every molecule
Infecting the synapses of the brain
This sickness wants to rule
Control every fiber
Till you're caught in its web
Waiting to be devoured
Comes on slow
Like the mist around midnight
Then rapidly steals
Your perception and insight
Assimilation complete
No longer a man
You're just a drunk
Who can't even stand
Corrupting every molecule
Infecting the synapses of the brain
This sickness wants to rule
Control every fiber
Till you're caught in its web
Waiting to be devoured
Comes on slow
Like the mist around midnight
Then rapidly steals
Your perception and insight
Assimilation complete
No longer a man
You're just a drunk
Who can't even stand

Cleanse me
Got an obsession
Tearing me apart
Call it a sickness
So close to my heart
Cancel it if I could
Don't think I haven't tried
Always comes to find me
No matter where I hide
Blessed with a beautiful wife
And two wonderful boys
Only thing I wish to bring them
Is life of laughter and joy
Disease drives a wedge
They don't recognize me
So they leave me alone
With my fake family
On the brink of destruction
Don't know if I'll pull through
God take this burden
Cleanse...
Tearing me apart
Call it a sickness
So close to my heart
Cancel it if I could
Don't think I haven't tried
Always comes to find me
No matter where I hide
Blessed with a beautiful wife
And two wonderful boys
Only thing I wish to bring them
Is life of laughter and joy
Disease drives a wedge
They don't recognize me
So they leave me alone
With my fake family
On the brink of destruction
Don't know if I'll pull through
God take this burden

Begin to live
Desperately, I watched myself suffer
My own hands held me captive
Naked and afraid
I vomit the destructive demon out
Warm water washes over me
And I watch my old self
Dissappear down the drain
Lifted up cold and shaking
Voices tell me it's ok
My heart calms
In the arms of my savior
Peace flows through me
And I know now
I can begin to live
My own hands held me captive
Naked and afraid
I vomit the destructive demon out
Warm water washes over me
And I watch my old self
Dissappear down the drain
Lifted up cold and shaking
Voices tell me it's ok
My heart calms
In the arms of my savior
Peace flows through me
And I know now
I can begin to live

Destruction in your eyes
I see the destruction in your eyes
Loving and caring has disappeared
Replaced with an apathy for living
Interests have waned
Washed away with the outgoing tide
If you can't create, you want to destroy
All your vices have chased your beauty away
Now you spend your time feeling spent
With nothing left to contribute to this rotten world
Destroy what's left with your liquid poison
Slowly fading away till nothing is left
If there is any hope
It's left to be seen
Loving and caring has disappeared
Replaced with an apathy for living
Interests have waned
Washed away with the outgoing tide
If you can't create, you want to destroy
All your vices have chased your beauty away
Now you spend your time feeling spent
With nothing left to contribute to this rotten world
Destroy what's left with your liquid poison
Slowly fading away till nothing is left
If there is any hope
It's left to be seen
