THE CASTLE (pt 5/5)
Biker tradition of shots were fired
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 new fantasy
Our memories left vividly encouraged
Yet still so distant from reality
Halls aligned with armored knights
With battle axes ready in their hands
Prepared and ready for the fight
To protect these ancient distant lands
We approached a huge amazing chamber
And saw the elegant throne of a king
And rooms next door of the neighbor
While our thoughts kept reoccurring
We walked up the winding stairs
Exploring the empty castle some more
Aligned with pictures of their heirs
And endless ceilings to the floor
Now journeying into the towers
Detailed images we could perceive
Lost in the castle for many hours
In this world of make believe
Shadows in the room now distracting
Subtracting lost and found memories
Our reality and imaginary refracting
Drifting in and out of our reveries
We exit from where we were enthralled
And return magically into the room
Now seeing the felt picture on the wall
Of the castle that had us consumed
It's now the light of the mornings dawn
And reality slowly was making it's return
My world that was melting was now gone
And slowly I was able to slightly discern
My 19th birthday party was amazing
A new creation in which I ventured
All of these memories never erasing
The story of my first melting adventure
Biker tradition of shots were fired
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 new fantasy
Our memories left vividly encouraged
Yet still so distant from reality
Halls aligned with armored knights
With battle axes ready in their hands
Prepared and ready for the fight

The story of my first melting adventure
burden of proof
i prey to an empty bottle of pills
i'm sundowning
i'd rather be close to the birds
than live my life lying wasted
without wings
sometimes i think i can fly
or maybe i'm just constantly falling
i've been so busy perfecting my hatred lately
that it's been difficult to schedule a relapse
with a sentence to crash heaven from chapter to page
after the said penance there is nobody saved
this is for hell's tenants and the coming of age
so here is to your mom
and all the anti-depressants we're on
the storm chasers who bitch about their broken windshields
Darwin, Jesus, Bob Dylan
and all of the other great storytellers
marriage is methadone
an m.r.i. with a stomach full of quarters
i am a supreme being who has never needed to hustle,lie,cheat, or steal
"really?"
no!
i'm just like you
i blame everybody else for how shitty i feel
with a sentence to crash heaven from chapter to page
after the said penance there is nobody saved
this is for hell's tenants and the coming of age
something inside you has gone and died
there is no more fire
no more shine in your eyes
tomorrow will never come
unless it's leap year
or maybe yesterday never happened
i give you to ghosts
this bottle has drawn empty
and we are not drawing pictures anymore
i can't make like it never happened
you can't put a band aid on cancer
i've gotta stop getting blowjobs from vampires
i'm sundowning
i'd rather be close to the birds
than live my life lying wasted
without wings
sometimes i think i can fly
or maybe i'm just constantly falling
i've been so busy perfecting my hatred lately
