The Vindicated
Word of mouth
Dyed in past deception
World’s flushed and dramatic
Tight is the torment
Feeling erratic
Ecstatic in the fallout
What’s done can’t be undone
Psychotic birthright
Anarchist by trade
Natural law has no claim
It’s a lie
Misery resides
We poisoned the well
Segregation
Justice is fed upon
Expendable by first breath
Skies turn hotter
And the blood gets thicker
Leeching through and demonic too
Volcanic by inheritance
Protest your...

A Little Peculiar
The eleventh hour
These vultures feast on you
When their slander seems sensible
To race, sex, personality
They smack you around
Better to keep your high’s down low
Cause you were born different
A glitch in the system
So you withdraw
Club soda the evidence
Flinch and cast your eyes down
They taught you that
Your enemies are born within
And when you swing they walk on by
Supplied the doubt for free
The waking moments
Memories sear your insides
Cause rumors spread like wildfire ...
These vultures feast on you
When their slander seems sensible
To race, sex, personality
They smack you around
Better to keep your high’s down low
Cause you were born different
A glitch in the system
So you withdraw
Club soda the evidence
Flinch and cast your eyes down
They taught you that
Your enemies are born within
And when you swing they walk on by
Supplied the doubt for free
The waking moments
Memories sear your insides
Cause rumors spread like wildfire ...

First Step
Leaves turning now
And the rivers run grass green
Freed with no hesitation
Kinda like my life
How could I love this
When you squeeze all I have
Sometimes it takes this
Saying goodbye
When it’s all gone
What gives you strength
Who helps you up when you can’t
You say many things
Contradict yet somewhat true
There’s a hate in the way
You lay in silence
You don’t love yourself
Take and take, give nothing back
Everyone is the enemy to you
Especially those close
When it’s...
And the rivers run grass green
Freed with no hesitation
Kinda like my life
How could I love this
When you squeeze all I have
Sometimes it takes this
Saying goodbye
When it’s all gone
What gives you strength
Who helps you up when you can’t
You say many things
Contradict yet somewhat true
There’s a hate in the way
You lay in silence
You don’t love yourself
Take and take, give nothing back
Everyone is the enemy to you
Especially those close
When it’s...

Stranger
Fall has come
A sweet kinda breeze
Sunshine and sewn up dreams
Always liked the view
I never had a clue
Living blind is all I ever do
I’d know nothing else
Keeps me kind
I’m a bit sarcastic
While your all kinds of way
A sway only you know
Clingy as can be
I never had a clue
Living blind is all I ever do
I’d know nothing else
Keeps me full
Getting on up there
Where I’m softer then I was
And vengeance has no place in me
I ain’t worried if you aren’t
I never had a...

The Orange
In the depths again
Where black has supremacy
And all your friends speak in stillness
Frozen by ugly indecisions
Heavy is the throat
Torn by words that are thrown
When pain enters through every vein
The ends you chewed on
Hunger and not eating
The wars to come in your mind
When hell overwhelms any sanctuary
Depression resurrects
And hope falls to the adulation
When hate mimics everything you say
Don’t you forfeit too soon
This prism of wither is transient
Cut your losses and set sail...
Where black has supremacy
And all your friends speak in stillness
Frozen by ugly indecisions
Heavy is the throat
Torn by words that are thrown
When pain enters through every vein
The ends you chewed on
Hunger and not eating
The wars to come in your mind
When hell overwhelms any sanctuary
Depression resurrects
And hope falls to the adulation
When hate mimics everything you say
Don’t you forfeit too soon
This prism of wither is transient
Cut your losses and set sail...

So Long For Now
Reverse your tears
It’s so much better trying
No matter what everyone thinks
Gotta leave some time
So long for now
See you when I’m able
We’ll trade stories in the after
It’s all a circle
Coming back round
Our destinations will cross
Saying our goodbyes
Flies by like a breaking wave
I’d follow you to the end
But my road turns
So long for now
See you when I’m able
We’ll trade stories in the after
It’s all a circle
Coming back round
Our destinations will cross
...
It’s so much better trying
No matter what everyone thinks
Gotta leave some time
So long for now
See you when I’m able
We’ll trade stories in the after
It’s all a circle

Flies by like a breaking wave

Things To Do
World’s getting heavy
All tucked up in this little town
Where the old fade like photographs
Tired of make believe
Dreaming it just ain’t living it
Making subsistent level paychecks
I’ve had enough now
Heard the horizon calling me
A bridge to a place that goes one way
All my friend’s leaving, so should I
It don’t matter to me
Here or there I’m ready to go
Honey I’m tired of waiting all the time
Wanting that gold mine now
So let’s hit the road
Sail oceans I’ve never seen
Can’t be...
All tucked up in this little town
Where the old fade like photographs
Tired of make believe
Dreaming it just ain’t living it
Making subsistent level paychecks
I’ve had enough now
Heard the horizon calling me
A bridge to a place that goes one way
All my friend’s leaving, so should I
It don’t matter to me
Here or there I’m ready to go
Honey I’m tired of waiting all the time
Wanting that gold mine now
So let’s hit the road
Sail oceans I’ve never seen
Can’t be...

Closing The Books
Banished once again
A couple thousand to my name
Given by a boss with a lisp
Contrite in his heart
They need someone
Might as well be you he said
Stars on your knees, cross your heart
We give until nothing is left
Sat in my favorite bar
Took a drink, ate a little salad
Wore my best clothes for the last time
Kissed her quiet lips goodbye
It’s what it is baby
Can’t predict what life does
So while I go you become somebody
Get done up pretty
Spare no tears just chin up
Maybe someday I’ll...

Failed State
The cosmic dust
It tasted like first blood
Dripping along a blanket of lust
Evil things we’ve done
I remember the turn
A slit wrist held by another
Her eyes spun just like hurricanes
Sinister snarl in that kiss
Addicted to the rush
Dead lands left in our wake
Toiling in foreign streams
Narcos and warheads intermingle
Local priest strung up bizarre
In rituals I’ve never seen
We become vampires
Taken the wings of better men
Crossbones, suppressors
Oppressing not one
Addicted...
It tasted like first blood

Bone Man
Done in a flash
Exit out the back door
Dodging arrows in a gold mine
White flag gone red
Gunslinging all night
So I’m up with the blood moon
Already turning like a dime
I’m just fast enough
It’s a sure thing
An off again, on again
Don’t you know I’m the enemy
It’s a death kiss
The hollow point bullet
A silver blade goes in between
I’m here today
But gone on the next
One more hello and goodbye
Dragons in Mexico
They twist like coiled snakes
Loyal until coin runs dry ...
Exit out the back door
Dodging arrows in a gold mine
White flag gone red
Gunslinging all night
So I’m up with the blood moon
Already turning like a dime
I’m just fast enough
It’s a sure thing
An off again, on again
Don’t you know I’m the enemy
It’s a death kiss
The hollow point bullet
A silver blade goes in between
I’m here today
But gone on the next
One more hello and goodbye
Dragons in Mexico
They twist like coiled snakes
Loyal until coin runs dry ...

Movements
I sit in this cafe
Count the little droplets
That cascading rain in October
My drink without a care
I wonder where you are
Did heaven settle all your affairs
Or is it a myth like I thought
Someone’s solitude
I have no answer
Only laugh at the mystery
Cause life keeps taking things away
I’m getting older it seems
It’s all I see
Hate turning weak
But I like the burn of living
Damn the unknown
Can’t ever look back again
Yet questions loom right above me
Badlands settle
And...
Count the little droplets
That cascading rain in October
My drink without a care
I wonder where you are
Did heaven settle all your affairs
Or is it a myth like I thought
Someone’s solitude
I have no answer
Only laugh at the mystery
Cause life keeps taking things away
I’m getting older it seems
It’s all I see
Hate turning weak
But I like the burn of living
Damn the unknown
Can’t ever look back again
Yet questions loom right above me
Badlands settle
And...

I Guess So
My enemies growing
Skin walkers and dirty witches
Devil paintings on my wall
Superstition grows
I’m seeing double
The things I can’t forget
Footsteps follow in a heartbeat
Like this empty house
I’d cut up both ends
But I don’t think I’ll survive it
Dark corners get darker
My light just goin
So come on now
Life is finally done with me
Drunk on the knowing
It’s all just noise
Skin walkers and dirty witches
Devil paintings on my wall
Superstition grows
I’m seeing double
The things I can’t forget
Footsteps follow in a heartbeat
Like this empty house
I’d cut up both ends
But I don’t think I’ll survive it
Dark corners get darker
My light just goin
So come on now
Life is finally done with me
Drunk on the knowing
It’s all just noise
