One Single Breath
I’m merely a humble enigma
Always flying beneath the radar
A cold stare is what I’ve known
Being judged by so-called society
I’m constantly against the grain
Kinda grown accustomed to it
Choosing to confront my demon
Understanding it’s me or them
Still rough around the edges
Things never smoothed out
So I embraced a new method
In figuring what went wrong
Realizing every human is groomed
On principle to a certain degree
From education to behavior
I was taught to be obedient
When I broke the fourth...
Always flying beneath the radar
A cold stare is what I’ve known
Being judged by so-called society
I’m constantly against the grain
Kinda grown accustomed to it
Choosing to confront my demon
Understanding it’s me or them
Still rough around the edges
Things never smoothed out
So I embraced a new method
In figuring what went wrong
Realizing every human is groomed

Tomorrow's Forecast
Foreign element in the air
A wayward wind finds me
Without any comfort there
As if it wants me to see
No more second guessing
Waiting for the next scandal
Somebody steals a blessing
It’s more than I can handle
Truth is a real eye-opener
It reveals the obvious lies
Watch without the filtered blur
As they fuck wealthy spies
Weasels in the hen house
Buying information online
Silent like a church mouse
Owned by the corporate swine
A leads to B then comes C
Right out of the old...
A wayward wind finds me
Without any comfort there
As if it wants me to see
No more second guessing
Waiting for the next scandal
Somebody steals a blessing

Watch without the filtered blur
As they fuck wealthy spies
Weasels in the hen house

Knife Kisses Bone
Another opportunist for hire
The cat with nine lives
Constantly feeding on desire
Somehow this rat thrives
Cowards watch the slaughter
Picks the bones find a gem
Through shit infested water
Without getting any on them
Right place at the wrong time
That’s how they gather dirt
Quick to drop a fucking dime
Finding solace in creating hurt
Trying to fill their black heart
Life has left them all alone
Can’t stop once they start
Until the knife kisses bone
The cat with nine lives
Constantly feeding on desire
Somehow this rat thrives
Cowards watch the slaughter
Picks the bones find a gem
Through shit infested water
Without getting any on them
Right place at the wrong time
That’s how they gather dirt
Quick to drop a fucking dime
Finding solace in creating hurt
Trying to fill their black heart
Life has left them all alone
Can’t stop once they start
Until the knife kisses bone

Someday
Won’t be left twisting in the wind
Waiting on someone to call me
Stringing me along with malice
Was this the plan from day one?
Who said that insults don’t sting?
Must of not felt your verbal blade
Bleeding from sorrow deep inside
With wounds that somehow never heal
Hiding behind your feminine charm
Wearing pain like a fragile mask
Love was disguised in your eyes
Somehow guilt always got in the way
Did I ever mean anything at all?
Thirty summers later still unsure
Part of my innocence was taken
I couldn’t mend...
Waiting on someone to call me

Must of not felt your verbal blade

Wearing pain like a fragile mask
Love was disguised in your eyes
Somehow guilt always got in the way

Bow Out
My circle seems to be getting smaller
Does change scare people away?
It seems kinda funny sometimes
My friends don’t like self-improvement
Why bother hovering around here
All you wanna do is fucking drink
Piss and moan about everything
Blame everyone not named you
Toxic environment inside the studio
That doubled as a midnight confessional
Cigarette smoke and whiskey breath
Spilling secrets about your alter-ego
Muttering something about messiah's
As if you’re some kind of prophet
Claiming to wear the mark of Cain ...
Does change scare people away?

Packs A Punch
Margaritas on a random weekday
Watching another tequila sunrise
White Russians every other Sunday
Memories on tap a numb surprise
Make me another flaming Dr. Pepper
Is this a bar or some random still?
Waitresses evade me like I’m a leper
Sitting across from a corporate shill
Hangovers are pretty common here
Just drinking my morning red eye
Before that I chugged the last beer
Too much gin makes my mouth dry
Sometimes cocktails are in demand
Other times not so fucking much
Also the house wine is kinda bland
Then...
Watching another tequila sunrise

Waiting For News
Driven by foggy elements tonight
Fundamental chaos feels so right
On the brink of perpetual rage
Been living in this virtual stone age
Love is dying in fields of death
Strung out on cosmic angel breath
Figure out where the line ends
Manipulating light with subtle bends
Selling promises to achieve faith
Visited by another shady wraith
About to turn off this tired engine
While the world continues to spin
Murder committed by random design
Stay tuned for the story on channel nine
Where...

Empire Of Sin
I know how it must feel
When nothing goes right
Unable to close the deal
Finish line just out of sight
Odds are against survival
Never been a betting man
Been living with this denial
Forgetting everything I can
Red flags are all around
Selling flesh by the pound
Got my back against a wall
Won’t be fooled again
House of cards gotta fall
Within this empire of sin
Lost amongst the weeds
I’m a victim of circumstance
Got lust for wicked deeds
Playing a game called chance
Many miles down...
When nothing goes right
Unable to close the deal
Finish line just out of sight
Odds are against survival
Never been a betting man
Been living with this denial
Forgetting everything I can
Red flags are all around
Selling flesh by the pound
Got my back against a wall
Won’t be fooled again
House of cards gotta fall
Within this empire of sin
Lost amongst the weeds
I’m a victim of circumstance
Got lust for wicked deeds
Playing a game called chance
Many miles down...

Pill
Bloodshot eyes stare wildly
Just looking for a reason
Chemicals come on mildly
Within the mystic season
Watching stars drift slowly
I cast my gaze inward
Walking amongst the lowly
My skin feels awkward
Panic races through fear
Walking across the wire
Muted sound going clear
As my pulse spikes higher
Crash off the fucking cliff
Connection has went offline
All my limbs growing stiff
On prescriptions I dine
For whatever makes us ill
They’ll invent another pill
Just looking for a reason
Chemicals come on mildly
Within the mystic season
Watching stars drift slowly
I cast my gaze inward
Walking amongst the lowly
My skin feels awkward
Panic races through fear
Walking across the wire
Muted sound going clear
As my pulse spikes higher
Crash off the fucking cliff
Connection has went offline
All my limbs growing stiff
On prescriptions I dine
For whatever makes us ill
They’ll invent another pill

Without A Cure
Cruel ritual tempting fate
Rain pours from the sky
Gypsy wind will agitate
My witness don’t identify
Crazy thoughts are within
Absent of any real identity
Hiding beneath the skin
Revealing pain times infinity
I have the forgotten answers
To the questions never asked
Abstract music naked dancers
Carnal desire is unmasked
Rooms shelter sad confusion
Mourners wither inside walls
Pardon this jaded intrusion
Some random stranger calls
Nothing makes any sense
I sleep but am never rested
Media...

Forever Treacherous
Sinking into scorched earth
Fallout from the storm
In a garden evil gave birth
Bloodlust became the norm
Creatures stir within shadows
Master keeps them hidden
Mortals hang from the gallows
Free thought is forbidden
Enslaved by every nation
Residing in the belly of a beast
Created in man’s frustration
Wars are how machines feast
Sinful numbers on a chain
Master claims his brand
Ruling with fear and pain
Marking every human hand
Loyalty can keep us upright
Once already dead inside
Wondering...

Island Sunset
She’s got lustful eyes
Hiding behind an angel face
Gently rubbing her thighs
Tender skin softest lace
One night of seduction
Could last a lifetime
Pleasure the only function
For these partners in crime
Our bodies dance electric
Closer towards release
Flowing in divine metric
Tempo begins to increase
Fulfilling the deepest ache
Bodies glistening with sweat
When our levee's break
Underneath an island sunset
Hiding behind an angel face
Gently rubbing her thighs
Tender skin softest lace
One night of seduction
Could last a lifetime
Pleasure the only function
For these partners in crime
Our bodies dance electric
Closer towards release
Flowing in divine metric
Tempo begins to increase
Fulfilling the deepest ache
Bodies glistening with sweat
When our levee's break
Underneath an island sunset
