Haunted by the Past
Life ended for me with the loss of a friend
A lover that stopped my descend
A way for what was once broken to begin to mend
Her smile took away the strife
Relief from the madness that was my life
I valued my pleasure over all else
I only did things for myself
I knew what I needed and began to grow up
I set dates and actually showed up
I promised myself I would never stand her up again
What was once lost started to begin
This life is a sick joke
Took a few pills that helped me not to choke
I was told they found me with sixty pills gone ...

Alien observers of the Adirondack state park
It banked left
Then turned right
The small craft a flash of light
Disappearing into the dark of night
We looked at each other
Then I proclaimed
"Man did you see that or am I going insane?"
He turned back to me and exclaimed
"I thought it was the weed dude until you saw the same!"
We arrived at the party and explained to the masses
What we had seen on our journey through the narrow mountain passes
They grinned at us and said with much glee
"Y'all smoke way too much weed"
So we shrugged it off and left the next...

Drug dealers remorse
My first apprentice was a drunken kid
He had the ambition to make more money than I did
Four months of my life wasted
Lost his drive the first line of dope he tasted
This shit ain't a game
Slinging dope for money or local fame
It will consume your whole life
No friends no family gotta make that money your wife
A life so empty
Safety off just waiting for some punk to tempt me
I've had this life since birth
It's beyond me why anyone would want this curse
He had the ambition to make more money than I did
Four months of my life wasted
Lost his drive the first line of dope he tasted
This shit ain't a game
Slinging dope for money or local fame
It will consume your whole life
No friends no family gotta make that money your wife
A life so empty
Safety off just waiting for some punk to tempt me
I've had this life since birth
It's beyond me why anyone would want this curse

Artificial Life
Stars in the sky replaced by artificial light
Our species a constant blight
The process of being man made
No room to be saved
A world left without higher power
A desolate hillside wilting wildflowers
It was once said beauty is nature
Destroying it must have seemed safer
Mankind is a pencil without an eraser
World leaders say fuck it we'll fix it later
Our species a constant blight
The process of being man made
No room to be saved
A world left without higher power
A desolate hillside wilting wildflowers
It was once said beauty is nature
Destroying it must have seemed safer
Mankind is a pencil without an eraser
World leaders say fuck it we'll fix it later

Mark Me
This life has always tasted so bitter
The leaves on the tree grow and quickly wither
I just wish death would come quicker
I would do it myself if it wouldn't mark me as a quitter
Blood loss would make me much fitter
I would do it myself if it didn't mark me as a wrist slitter
Faces of the snakes haunt me as they slither
I would kill them myself if it wouldn't mark me as a killer
I'm always so concerned with what others think
It brings me to the brink
So full of anger always missing the link
I'm the Titanic watch me as I sink
The leaves on the tree grow and quickly wither
I just wish death would come quicker
I would do it myself if it wouldn't mark me as a quitter
Blood loss would make me much fitter
I would do it myself if it didn't mark me as a wrist slitter
Faces of the snakes haunt me as they slither
I would kill them myself if it wouldn't mark me as a killer
I'm always so concerned with what others think
It brings me to the brink
So full of anger always missing the link
I'm the Titanic watch me as I sink

30 days sober
Everyday it eats at my soul
Everyday sobriety a heavy toll
Everyday contemplating the cost of one taste more
Everyday wondering what this battles for
Everyday closer to a relapse
Everyday bracing for the collapse
Everyday asking God for forgiveness
Everyday telling myself what I did was just business
Everyday on the mend
Everyday hoping this struggle will finally end
Everyday sobriety a heavy toll
Everyday contemplating the cost of one taste more
Everyday wondering what this battles for
Everyday closer to a relapse
Everyday bracing for the collapse
Everyday asking God for forgiveness
Everyday telling myself what I did was just business
Everyday on the mend
Everyday hoping this struggle will finally end
