July Bottle Rockets
Non stop awesome
crack
bottle rocket
like that
just kick ass
through the sky
no question
no doubt
just explode
and let the ashes
land where the will
This is ok
it's all alright
let the circle roll
and spin out of control
a promise to live on
through dark clouds
heavy and built up
just got to let go
In this sky
flying around
could get lost
wrong turn
is it up or down?
Where is this trust
I was supposed to feel
all zipped up
proper and etiquette
and so full of shit...

Self Destructive Therapy
In this moment
losing faith
burning seraph wings
and a choking voice
hard to breathe
painful lungs
blackened tar
fuck it
light another one
take a swig
let's get drunk
and party
in our misery
empty bottles
filled with ash
and cigarette butts
we'll sing with woe
about those girls
which meant so much
now their gone
like our faith
nothing but relatable jams
obnoxiously loud
and in your face
because we don't give a fuck
this is our lives
absurdly twisted
like a stabbing knife
and this is...

Douche Bag (I Know)
As I go
under city lights
passing bars
inhaling nicotine
then adding it to the
ozone
cool like shades
at night, and tough
like boots stomping across
the world that they own
(annoying I know,
but I could care less)
Macho Man, a savage gift
from God or science
with big ball genetics
perfect for taking control
and running all of this
all these sagging pants
bad asses, all these hoes
with there booty clap
and all of this day to day
Jerry Springer nonsense
no time for all of that
broken heart drama
all...

Me and My Foolish Ideas
Me and my foolish ideas
foolishly scripted for cinema
silver screen eyes reeling
displaying the perfect ending before credits
rewinding, replaying and smiling
with softly spoken dialogue
jerking a few tears
tugging at the heart
all butterfly on the sleeve
once again, and now
just on a couch
hitting rewind
watching this scene with Jim Carrey
and Kate Winslet all eternal and sunshine
with spotless minds late at night
when you are a sleep
with Channing Tatum in his car
because I don't have one
or maybe because of something...

All This Rain
All this rain
patter of thoughts
splashing on the eyes
sometimes blind
sometimes washed
seeing clearly
yet foggy
trying to pick out
the colors more vibrant
than gray apathy
To paint
how I feel about this
about you
with me
trying to understand
who I am
when our hands are alone
and free
to do as they feel, as they please
feeling you
feeling me
knowing that what we feel
is smooth and interesting
But yet it still seems to rain
like poor cats...

Sun
Have you ever tried to carry the Sun?
to hold the power and heat within your palm?
captured energy, for ever flowing
for ever burning
for ever a shine so bright, blinding, magnificent
solar flares leaking through fingers
dripping excellent magma
carrying the eye which watched empires rise
and civilizations crumble
through war, through famine, through plague and disaster
to grip this all seeing eye which witnessed
all of Humanity's fuck ups and successful inventions

So Ugly
that poor little panic attack playing possum
underneath the rotting wood of the front porch
with it's wrinkled pink fingers! Absent of flesh! Clenched
in an idle stance, unable to move
unable to groove
unable to connect with the rhythm
like a dormant child, no reason, might as well of been aborted
yet one still ponders with strangely fixated eyes
staring down the night through rickety window panes
like there is some diamond curiosity, shining through the darkly center
perhaps this time it will actually be the fucking Sun...

Too Human (an apology)
Always a closet
always a skeleton
to reside in it
Always a Fear
some type of darkness
around corners
drawing near
Always spending your days
just waiting
for that defining moment
where the mind calls quits
breaking down the purpose of being concious
into easily manipulated molecules
dissecting rosy seedlings, a beautiful yet
disrespectful act when compared to
dissecting a toad, so fucking gross
and pointless, I mean what fucking good
will this do for us?
It's a fucking...

Oh my wow
I can write words for no reason
doing just that, letters spelling words
which you are currently reading
trying to deceive you
keep on paying attention to the nonsense
some magical trumpet metaphor
distracting you from a worldly awareness
keep your eyes here
the world can spin with out you
for a currently undetermined amount of time
Are you still reading?
Are you ignoring the buzz of a cell phone?
Can you completely pay attention
to what I am saying?
Perhaps I should give these words...

Slob
Lying around like a silly mess
depressed about the inability
to explain color to a blind man
wishing for the clock to at least
pretend to be a time machine
or at least some contraption
which can rewind to the past
during those moments when feeling
the summer breeze seemed miraculous
eyes shut, yet open to everything in motion
twirling like dandelion seeds palms open wide
to accept these silly things we call dreams
treasuring them like lucky charms
which really don't mean a god damn thing
but it's nice to know that we do dream...

Sweetly We Greet
So sweetly, we say high
dominoes collide
the great wall collapsing
crossing borders with a flirtatious
stride, the synapses sparkle
an ear to ear smile
confidence in biding time
window sill thoughts kept casual
instead of flying into premature clouds
so easily turned gray, with such a thunderous
temper tantrum during rainy days
slight disappointment can go a long way
Simply enticed, a beautiful collection of letters
as I spell out your name

Still Dreaming in America
Stretching metallic arms
reaching for the star spangled sky
disbelieving my piece of the pie
is rotten well past the expiration date
so eager to taste golden nectar
hoping the effect is like a synthesized narcotic
an ecstasy powder compressed into a circular shape
in a mechanized miraculous state of mind
thump thump thump rhythm and bass
seduced by the allure of wiggling hips
popping delicious curved waists
a predatory sense for the female anatomy
coke line dreams and a pair of stunning shades
giving a darkly vision to sunken eyes
too...
