Like Dr. Frankenstein
The unwanted the unwashed
Shoved off of life's course
Kicked into the gutter
With the rest of humanity's clutter
Left here to suffer
Against the sorrow there is no buffer
We just lie and languish
In our misery and anguish
If you look you could see
There is enough of us to fill the sea
But people only want happiness and glee
What was created in us, would never let this be
We've been used and abused
So mentally bruised
We where plucked in our prime
When everything in our life rhymed
We where plucked from our...
Shoved off of life's course
Kicked into the gutter
With the rest of humanity's clutter
Left here to suffer
Against the sorrow there is no buffer
We just lie and languish
In our misery and anguish

There is enough of us to fill the sea
But people only want happiness and glee
What was created in us, would never let this be

The Cancer of Despair
This world is filled with to much pain
Like a vampire it just sucks and drains
It's hard to stand tall under all the strain
I find myself once more sinking below
Like hot molten tar, it won't let me go
Despair spreading faster than a cancer
For all my questions there is no answer
I really don't know what the fuck to do
As my soul is ripped into
My tears keep sliding the mask down my face
As misery and sorrow interlace
Everywhere I go I leave a river of anguish behind
As memories of my life, flood my mind
It'd leave you...
Like a vampire it just sucks and drains
It's hard to stand tall under all the strain
I find myself once more sinking below
Like hot molten tar, it won't let me go
Despair spreading faster than a cancer
For all my questions there is no answer
I really don't know what the fuck to do
As my soul is ripped into
My tears keep sliding the mask down my face
As misery and sorrow interlace
Everywhere I go I leave a river of anguish behind
As memories of my life, flood my mind
It'd leave you...

Human Monsters
Human monsters created in my life this gore
And opened up this darkened door
That the demons all stream through
And I am mired in all this goo
Sticky memories of torture
Leaves me standing on the border
Of who I was and what they made me
Could someone hand me the key
So I could turn back the clock
And maybe this life of horror I could stop
Or maybe twist the hands of fate
That left me in this wretched state
The sands of time keep streaming
And the demons they keep screaming
And this charred heart keeps beating
And this...
And opened up this darkened door
That the demons all stream through
And I am mired in all this goo
Sticky memories of torture
Leaves me standing on the border
Of who I was and what they made me
Could someone hand me the key
So I could turn back the clock
And maybe this life of horror I could stop
Or maybe twist the hands of fate
That left me in this wretched state
The sands of time keep streaming
And the demons they keep screaming
And this charred heart keeps beating
And this...

Vitamin H
Give me some of that vitamin H, so my body can sigh
Sit awail, I'll nod a bit, and kiss this world's problems goodby
There'll be no more tears, no need to cry
As my mind is carried off on high
Body so relaxed it forgets to breath
Where I have floated off to, there seems to be no need
With this vitamin running through my veins
I don't feel the need to plant a bullet in my brain
When thoughts of death start to close in
I turn and run to my new friend
It's all a matter of desperation
Locked up tight in my situation
Sit awail, I'll nod a bit, and kiss this world's problems goodby
There'll be no more tears, no need to cry
As my mind is carried off on high
Body so relaxed it forgets to breath
Where I have floated off to, there seems to be no need
With this vitamin running through my veins
I don't feel the need to plant a bullet in my brain
When thoughts of death start to close in
I turn and run to my new friend
It's all a matter of desperation
Locked up tight in my situation

My Deepest Darkest Night
In my deepest darkest night
I don't need words they're so contrite
I just need someone to brave this sight
Hold me so close and tight
The one who would, seen his light
Grew his wings and took his flight
Flew so far, his out of sight
Left me all alone in the dark to fight
So I don't need your words, they only bite
Words can be so contrite
I need someone to hold me tight
While I wage my war and fight
But everyone is scared of the sight
Of a broken soul in the deepest darkest night
I don't need words they're so contrite
I just need someone to brave this sight
Hold me so close and tight
The one who would, seen his light
Grew his wings and took his flight
Flew so far, his out of sight
Left me all alone in the dark to fight
So I don't need your words, they only bite
Words can be so contrite
I need someone to hold me tight
While I wage my war and fight
But everyone is scared of the sight
Of a broken soul in the deepest darkest night

If Only
Is a desperate wish the heart makes
In want, of correcting life's mistakes

Harvest Moon
She stared out her window, it was scary and dark
Harvest Moon reminding her of all she forgot
The crickets sweet song, was a deafening roar
Harvest Moon calling, come and explore
This night and what would transpire, she already knew
The fear of it all, invaded her mind and grew
She decided to be brave and examine it all
It was the end she feared, not the fall
Harvest moon hung in the sky big and bright
She ventured outside in the soft orange light
The fireflies fluttered and danced under the trees
The leaves rustled with the chilly...

Coal Black Cloud
Standing in a harvested field, the sky touching the ground
Not a raise, a tree, or a hill to be found
A coal black cloud is coming down
Standing there head back, hoping in it's rain I drown
My heart is bleeding black
Everything from a young age went so off track
I am just the black sheep
I am just the freak
Watch me as my eyes leak
This lonely watch I keep
On my knees now I just weep
It's only sorrow that I reap
For a life lived amongst the ruins
Living under a storm constantly brewing
Daylight seeped through once or twice

The Sweet Dark Side
The ground beneath her is shaking
Her world again is rearranging
The stars and moon are falling, crashing to the earth
The sun to light had given birth
But the sun imploded
Leaving no motive
So there she stands in the inky black nothing
Eye's wide open, but seeing not a thing
No voices, not even in her brain
It all happened so fast it was insane
One minute a beautiful blue sky day
The next it all lay in decay
Blackness so heavy it's hard to move
But slowly she makes her way, she finds a groove.
In her pocket she finds the pills
To...

The Rain Slowly Cries
The rain it pitter patters
Against my window splatters
And the only thing that really matters
Is your not here with me
It's like the sky could see
And started crying so soft and slowly
Against my window splatters
And the only thing that really matters
Is your not here with me
It's like the sky could see
And started crying so soft and slowly

When I Get Old
When I get old and live with my kids
I'm gonna do all the things that they did
I'll get up way before dawn
I will be their human alarm
I scream I'm hungry in the wee morning hours
I will complain when it's time to take a bath or shower
I'll scribble my latest creation on the walls
And on the siding I'll bounce all my balls
I'll spill my milk, so the cat can drink
I won't scrap my plate, when I put it in the sink
I'll refuse to eat my veggies and meat
And if able, run wild in the street
I'll set real close to the tv, blocking their view...

A Bullet Baptismal
Go on do your worse
I'm all ready about to burst
Take your knife, make the stab
I won't mind laying on that slab
You'll give me rest, you'll give me peace
To lay among the loved deceased
I'm not afraid to die
For my soul to ride the sky
I am afraid to face another day
To face the anguish that will play
In my heart, in my mind
Compared to this, death seems kind
So raise your gun, aim right between the eyes
Let that hollow point baptize
I'm all ready about to burst
Take your knife, make the stab
I won't mind laying on that slab
You'll give me rest, you'll give me peace
To lay among the loved deceased
I'm not afraid to die
For my soul to ride the sky
I am afraid to face another day
To face the anguish that will play
In my heart, in my mind
Compared to this, death seems kind
So raise your gun, aim right between the eyes
Let that hollow point baptize
