The Tall Grass
The Tall Grass
I walked among the tall grass just to clear my head
I walked with the living who lived like they were dead
The sunshine fell upon me like sheets of endless rain
It precipitated my joy with convoluted pleasures of pain
The fire burned me with excruciating heat of each grass stalk
I met ancient ghost of memories along my solemn walk
They tortured my future with talk of my long ago past
As I took my psychic stroll among the tall grass
Expressionless faces approached me one by one ...

They tortured my future with talk of my long ago past

A Tree Died
A Tree Died
A tree died in the forest and nobody cared at all
Nobody was around to hear the sound when it did fall
It had been dying for many years but no one knew
Though it showed it to everyone no one ever saw a clue
They could not see that inside it was quietly rotting away
They could not see its life was spiraling downward day by day
All of the dying leafs on the tree had silently turned
They were gathered all together and they were burned
The tree remains were burned also until only ashes...

They could not see its life was spiraling downward day by day
All of the dying leafs on the tree had silently turned
They were gathered all together and they were burned
The tree remains were burned also until only ashes...

The Barren Field
The Barren Field
The summer wind blows the dust from the field
The hard earth is now to dry to ever be tilled
No rain left to fall from the empty summer sky
All the once flowing creek beds are now dry
No roots can take hold in land with no moisture
Clumps of sod each resting in its own cloister
The field once grew flowers of all beautiful colors
They were picked and given to star crossed lovers
Now they have all withered and blown away in the wind
Never to grow to their beauty and be...
The summer wind blows the dust from the field
The hard earth is now to dry to ever be tilled
No rain left to fall from the empty summer sky
All the once flowing creek beds are now dry
No roots can take hold in land with no moisture
Clumps of sod each resting in its own cloister
The field once grew flowers of all beautiful colors
They were picked and given to star crossed lovers
Now they have all withered and blown away in the wind
Never to grow to their beauty and be...

Vegetable
Vegetable
I put my head in the middle hoping to kill the pain
It goes to far though to the left side of my brain
Now I am a tomato growing out of my own ground
No longer can I see the sights or hear a sound
Tethered to life in my own self fulfilling dirt
Stuck between not knowing and all my hurt
No one wants to feed me the love I need to grow
There is no Sun above me or deep roots down below
In my peripheral vision all I can see is a dark flat sky
Do not want to live much longer but...
I put my head in the middle hoping to kill the pain
It goes to far though to the left side of my brain
Now I am a tomato growing out of my own ground
No longer can I see the sights or hear a sound
Tethered to life in my own self fulfilling dirt
Stuck between not knowing and all my hurt
No one wants to feed me the love I need to grow
There is no Sun above me or deep roots down below
In my peripheral vision all I can see is a dark flat sky
Do not want to live much longer but...

Break It
Break It
I want to break it but cannot no matter how hard I try
I just end up sitting in a dark corner having a cry
I try getting as far away as I can but that will not do
The further away that I get the more I long for you
What is wrong with me, why do I keep breaking my heart
Or is it something in my brain that keeps tearing it apart
I do not want to love you but I cannot help myself
It is good for my imagination but not my mental health
I know that you are with him and not with me
...

Or is it something in my brain that keeps tearing it apart
I do not want to love you but I cannot help myself
It is good for my imagination but not my mental health

Shadows Creep
Shadows Creep
Shadows creep upon the visual walls
Into the darkness my mind slowly falls
Between the visions of what is to be
The ghost of my past overpower me
Trilling voices speak from overhead
Repeating back the ferocious things I said
Shadows dancing to the melodical tune I played
While I suffer from the plans I have wastefully delayed
Shadows creep upon the red running upon my skin
As I bleed my pain and sadness under the shadows grin
Shadows creep upon the visual walls
Into the darkness my mind slowly falls
Between the visions of what is to be
The ghost of my past overpower me
Trilling voices speak from overhead
Repeating back the ferocious things I said
Shadows dancing to the melodical tune I played
While I suffer from the plans I have wastefully delayed
Shadows creep upon the red running upon my skin
As I bleed my pain and sadness under the shadows grin

World's Coldest Love
World's Coldest Love
Stuck in the middle of world's coldest love
Soul will never thaw out in a million years
My eyes they are so cold, they are so blue
When I cry I cry icicles instead of tears
It is snowing so hard inside my broken heart
It is covered by a sheet of cracked ice
It is frozen solid it will never thaw out
It has always been unloved to be precise
Every time I try to love it slips away from me
Like trying to walk across an icy lake in bare feet
End up broken...
Stuck in the middle of world's coldest love
Soul will never thaw out in a million years
My eyes they are so cold, they are so blue
When I cry I cry icicles instead of tears
It is snowing so hard inside my broken heart
It is covered by a sheet of cracked ice
It is frozen solid it will never thaw out
It has always been unloved to be precise
Every time I try to love it slips away from me
Like trying to walk across an icy lake in bare feet
End up broken...

Spare
Spare
You break my heart and do not care
You must think that I have a spare
You hurt me like it is another day
You hurt me then you just walk away
I flood myself with tears every night
Under the shadows of a blue Moon light
When I see you I try to keep my eyes dry
I do not want you to know it is for you I cry
Broke my heart once now you want to break it again
You have not even given it proper time to mend
If you look closely at my heart you can see every tear
You...
You break my heart and do not care
You must think that I have a spare
You hurt me like it is another day
You hurt me then you just walk away
I flood myself with tears every night
Under the shadows of a blue Moon light
When I see you I try to keep my eyes dry
I do not want you to know it is for you I cry
Broke my heart once now you want to break it again
You have not even given it proper time to mend
If you look closely at my heart you can see every tear
You...

Steam
Steam
I see the steam rise from her breast
I lay my head between them to rest
My fingertips wonder down her thighs
I can see an Angel and Devil in her eyes
I hope to feel her moisten glade soon
Eager to hear her rhythmic moaning tune
I can feel her warmth grow deep inside
As I slowly take her for an ecstasy ride
I see the steam rise from her breast
I lay my head between them to rest
My fingertips wonder down her thighs
I can see an Angel and Devil in her eyes
I hope to feel her moisten glade soon
Eager to hear her rhythmic moaning tune
I can feel her warmth grow deep inside
As I slowly take her for an ecstasy ride

Cracks Inside
Cracks Inside
I fell through the cracks in my head
From the whispers knives I have bled
Crimson Moon sad up in a dark sky
It can count every tear I have cried
Walking around dead in a living world
As into a fetal position I am curled
When I think about the love I have for you
Just wish you could love me the same way too
As I drift away to my lonely bitter life
In the deepest cracks my pain is rife
I fell through the cracks in my head
From the whispers knives I have bled
Crimson Moon sad up in a dark sky
It can count every tear I have cried
Walking around dead in a living world
As into a fetal position I am curled
When I think about the love I have for you
Just wish you could love me the same way too
As I drift away to my lonely bitter life
In the deepest cracks my pain is rife
