Poet Introduction
persistant
you know who you are
take a break with me
come lay with me
Dionysus invites us thus
to share in drink and misplace trust
ecstasy's tour bus
escape the fuss, this trip's a must
I'll make a space for you
not sure if you're coming but wake me up if you do x
come lay with me
Dionysus invites us thus
to share in drink and misplace trust
ecstasy's tour bus
escape the fuss, this trip's a must
I'll make a space for you
not sure if you're coming but wake me up if you do x

Bipolar bear
mean and annoying, with my heart you are toying
constant nagging from above, I fear you won't stop until I'm lying face down on the rug
you ask me why I use and all I can do is shrug
I'm not going to blame a lack of love
It was my choice and I chose to throw away my inner voice
Running to the darkness to meet that little devil who sweeps me off my feet
Don't worry about me, this is therapy for me
It was a ticket away from misery but then the people stopped missing me
You call me a flake but I'm sure you don't appreciate the control I...

my other halves don't like each other so I walked away
An animal with no control
life behind eyes with no parole
why not behind bars?
why behind eyes?
because the drugs stole my life before I even realized
a vehicle for a walking miracle of evil
Paradoxical, i have thought about what to do
about how to get off of you
the life that we've been through does not need a part two
I would not have made it through if it weren't for you but
the path that we seek is no good for me and we definitely do not need a part three
empty and lonely
alone in my misery
push those away...

untitled reworking 1
It's been 20 hours since I last had a smoke
It's all i manage to keep that dragon out my throat.
Mary jane has made me lame
started off on another plane
a way to get past this pain
but I'm not the same and now i fear
it's empty space between my ears
like my brain has come to tears.
Spent $6 on food this week
but if you check under my seat
you'll find everything from green to mescaline
It's obscene
I don't mind though
Drugs and hugs make me feel fine
anyone who says different is probably lying
or speaking...

unbelievable how you sink yourself in
If i'm correct it's you that haunts him
An apparition lives within his prescriptions
self infliction of emotional visions
left clutching his own divisions
bad decisions turn into an emotional circumcision
an ocean of doubt, in the middle drifting
The rugs been pulled from under me
this is something I could not see happening
at least not to me
walking hand in hand with misery is nothing new to me
But I always thought I would be surrounded by family
instead I watch you take...

oh yes
heat the torch, get it hot
red hot, white hot, two shots for the have-nots
touch it to it
you know how to do it
inhale
breathe in
nothing's happening
oh shit, I think you win
my whole world is starting to spin
fade to black
lay on my back
I can't stand up
I can't take a breath
I think I might have just used myself to death
my eyes are open but I can't see a thing
body crumpled under me but It feels like i'm floating
darkness increases, my breathing it ceases
musics gone, I feel so good ...

freedom
rippling courts, surging walks
it's endless activity when you live at the docks
my ship is my palace
silverback gorilla in my own flotilla
the captain
the law
impossible to misbehave when the landscape is just waves
constantly moving, unhappy to be still
off into the sunset to do the bidding of my will
i'm running away from something
it's form never revealed
it casts fear and doubt all while remaining concealed
maybe I'm just broken
the seas are wide open
so it's off to a foreign port
to drink and fall in...

I don't even like sex
your face looks funny
kinda like a horse
you're really stupid too that's why you dropped out of course
your tummy is flabby and your vag hangs a bit
and most times in the morning your breath is enough to make me sick
you want babies
they might as well have rabies, keep them away
I don't want kids with you
we've been fucking for 8 months, I never plan on saying "I do"
every time you leave it's like I start to breathe again
play monday through friday then see you on the weekend
fuck you then kick you out
won't even give you a...

my basement
why shouldn't I just stay in my basement until my heart ceases to beat
I have nothing to do
I don't want to comfort eat
I'm coming down and trying to find my feet
why is it my heart beats?
What's the purpose of a tree?
It grows and then dies
what about a cat?
daily fight for survival just to lose one day and leave what behind?
What about me?
I left another country
no more friends around me
destined for great opportunity only to discover this overwhelming misery
I really love drugs but I think they fucked me.

Reborn on a New Zealand beach
Wake up drunk, fall out your trailer and
land flat on your face
Get up, slam the door
your girlfriend's a whore because
she doesn't want to talk to you anymore
You're a bit fucked off
as you walk over to the truck
not really thinking
you decide to push your luck
think you'll drive it off
Bleeding muppet
Climb into the seat
light a smoke and
fumble around for the choke
your truck's an '85 and it is mildly cold outside ...

morning
It's begun again
7 am and the pipes my best friend again
this flower and her friends drains my willpower to no end
I turn into a wallflower
been two days and I haven't had a shower
Under it's power can't go more than hour without
craving the sweet taste of it's embrace
All I'm trying to do is stop using a couple pills and a plant and I can't
woke up groggy and foggy so just a quick light
will make me feel alright
My head hurts and the stuff grows in the dirt
why shouldn't it be okay?
keep talking to myself like...
