I get drunk and spew out a bunch of nonsense.

Enough
I’ve had enough of it
I thirst for something new.
Enough to make me want to die
Enough to make me spew
These lethargic tired eyes
That wish to be no more
Are again and again
Greeted by these
Oh so too familiar walls
Those same old words
Plastered over
The same certain
Stagnant thoughts and opinions
Hidden
You can see their shapes
Amongst the ripples in the curtains
I thirst for something new.
Enough to make me want to die
Enough to make me spew
These lethargic tired eyes
That wish to be no more
Are again and again
Greeted by these
Oh so too familiar walls
Those same old words
Plastered over
The same certain
Stagnant thoughts and opinions
Hidden
You can see their shapes
Amongst the ripples in the curtains

Hostage
I plucked the little pod
Careful not to damage this
My new found hostage..
He has made his own prison
As have I
And when the time strikes
We will both be struck
I don’t give a fuck..
Until he emerges
And sounds loud his disdain
Expressing his desires and displeasure
I just don’t give a fuck
I’ve got my own pain
Careful not to damage this
My new found hostage..
He has made his own prison
As have I
And when the time strikes
We will both be struck
I don’t give a fuck..
Until he emerges
And sounds loud his disdain
Expressing his desires and displeasure
I just don’t give a fuck
I’ve got my own pain

Right Through
Even through sunny cloudless sky
Blackened bit of moon
Gaze shyly or brazenly
never tell
It looks into me so deeply
Past my own thoughts
Through my self promoting lies
Leaving me a cripple
Hungry
I see into my own soul
Only
And to hastily
Seek another
Skin and water-tight disguise
Blackened bit of moon
Gaze shyly or brazenly
never tell
It looks into me so deeply
Past my own thoughts
Through my self promoting lies
Leaving me a cripple
Hungry
I see into my own soul
Only
And to hastily
Seek another
Skin and water-tight disguise

A pounding head
A pounding head
Compounding problems
These lies and lies
Building buildings for their walls alone
New comfort for ever puzzled heads
Closing off the mind and the sky
Forgetting the lessons of the dead
Little white light lino lines
Tracing their ebb forever
Counting what can be counted
For pleasures collusive reap
I alternate
Between these ceilings and sleep
Each with its own false sense of security
And hypocritical belief
Compounding problems
These lies and lies
Building buildings for their walls alone
New comfort for ever puzzled heads
Closing off the mind and the sky
Forgetting the lessons of the dead
Little white light lino lines
Tracing their ebb forever
Counting what can be counted
For pleasures collusive reap
I alternate
Between these ceilings and sleep
Each with its own false sense of security
And hypocritical belief

Eternally shy
Eternally shy
I find myself playing games
Keeping secrets
Shutting myself off from the crowd
I find myself lying to loved ones
I find my confidants missing
Is it then such a wild thing
To say now
That I love booze
Influenced
I sway slowly as I walk home
And I carry nothing with me
As in a dream
What I found under clouds and through haze
Was not really worth keeping.
Its golden shimmer
Yet another trick of the sun
I find myself playing games
Keeping secrets
Shutting myself off from the crowd
I find myself lying to loved ones
I find my confidants missing
Is it then such a wild thing
To say now
That I love booze
Influenced
I sway slowly as I walk home
And I carry nothing with me
As in a dream
What I found under clouds and through haze
Was not really worth keeping.
Its golden shimmer
Yet another trick of the sun

The rigamarole
The straw that breaks the camels back
Is being chewed over between my teeth
Maybe I should just decide to jump
Float off into this dark and briny deep
For I am not a being
Whose limits lie within control
I am the sky
I am happiness
I am the rigamarole
Is being chewed over between my teeth
Maybe I should just decide to jump
Float off into this dark and briny deep
For I am not a being
Whose limits lie within control
I am the sky
I am happiness
I am the rigamarole

This cold and bitter me
What have I become?
Painting as I walk along
Metaphoric melancholy melodies
Pictured just before my tongue...
...Its just that...
My fear has never quite abated
Of becoming what Ive always hated
A subsidiary in advance
Love will not find me blind
And im afraid that I will simply
Slip into another mind
Walk off
And on cold and callous bare feet
Kindly be unkind to you
Until some other destined distant time
In which to meet
Painting as I walk along
Metaphoric melancholy melodies
Pictured just before my tongue...
...Its just that...
My fear has never quite abated
Of becoming what Ive always hated
A subsidiary in advance
Love will not find me blind
And im afraid that I will simply
Slip into another mind
Walk off
And on cold and callous bare feet
Kindly be unkind to you
Until some other destined distant time
In which to meet

Every morning
I’m always mourning
This discerning standpoint
Through glassy atmosphere
I watch with pity
And view through teary
Visions of the habitual
The customs of your hair
I love decapitation
And bipartisan execution
Ever tranquil end
Peaceful trance and habitat
A pictured piece of perfect beauty
One in which I pity
My tendency to lean into pretend
Growing sicker
Almost about ready to retire
All too afraid that
My disease is simply quicker
Another quirk
In my desire
This discerning standpoint
Through glassy atmosphere
I watch with pity
And view through teary
Visions of the habitual
The customs of your hair
I love decapitation
And bipartisan execution
Ever tranquil end
Peaceful trance and habitat
A pictured piece of perfect beauty
One in which I pity
My tendency to lean into pretend
Growing sicker
Almost about ready to retire
All too afraid that
My disease is simply quicker
Another quirk
In my desire

The pines
Words can be so empty
Feel shallow
Amongst the pines of the mind
Its just
Is something wrong with me
Feeling at home
When im so lost
As if walls and real feelings
Have always been misgivings
And thoughts
Just another little way to die
Another half dozen needles of torture
Unscrupulous love needles
That need to be cleaved
Disassociated or disguised
Feel shallow
Amongst the pines of the mind
Its just
Is something wrong with me
Feeling at home
When im so lost
As if walls and real feelings
Have always been misgivings
And thoughts
Just another little way to die
Another half dozen needles of torture
Unscrupulous love needles
That need to be cleaved
Disassociated or disguised

The Long Summer Night
I cannot choke it out
The impression that you’ve made
And I find it hard to express
Your pretty little footsteps
Pressed into the beach before me
Throughout those precious days of rest
I can’t even begin to sum you up
With your love and pain
Parting
And Imparted
Twisting together beneath the sky.
And I cannot digress
How those tumultuous thoughts
With their adorned thorns
Sought surrender
And how I drank them in
Strangling them up against me
Just to smile at their beauty
As they burn up inside...
The impression that you’ve made
And I find it hard to express
Your pretty little footsteps
Pressed into the beach before me
Throughout those precious days of rest
I can’t even begin to sum you up
With your love and pain
Parting
And Imparted
Twisting together beneath the sky.
And I cannot digress
How those tumultuous thoughts
With their adorned thorns
Sought surrender
And how I drank them in
Strangling them up against me
Just to smile at their beauty
As they burn up inside...
