Sea Me
I set off into the sea
To see a real part of me
Winds start picking up
Sails are swept under and above
White crest of ocean
Mixed with jagged rocks
Think I can ride out the storm of me
But I’m crazy I’m a tidal wave
Churn through the storms
That come upon my vessel
storm picks up winds adjust
All I see is white caps diving into the black
A moment of calm before my storm
Realize this is my day of my being
Waves sing high and crash like a symphony
Of all things...
To see a real part of me
Winds start picking up
Sails are swept under and above
White crest of ocean
Mixed with jagged rocks
Think I can ride out the storm of me
But I’m crazy I’m a tidal wave
Churn through the storms
That come upon my vessel
storm picks up winds adjust
All I see is white caps diving into the black
A moment of calm before my storm
Realize this is my day of my being
Waves sing high and crash like a symphony
Of all things...

Love on the point of a needle
It’s like love on the tip of a needle
I look at you you are gone you drift away
Firming up your arm look for a vein I can connect to
I connect to you you drift away from me
It’s like looking for love on a point of a needle
We dream and string out long it’s ephemeral
How come you can’t treat me like I’m love in a needle
We connect and it’s like I’m in a carnival
But after a few minutes I can’t speak
Looking for love on the point of a needle
I look at you you are gone you drift away
Firming up your arm look for a vein I can connect to
I connect to you you drift away from me
It’s like looking for love on a point of a needle
We dream and string out long it’s ephemeral
How come you can’t treat me like I’m love in a needle
We connect and it’s like I’m in a carnival
But after a few minutes I can’t speak
Looking for love on the point of a needle

Breakers
Breakers
Down at the Breakers
Didn’t get…better
Down at the Breakers
Wish it lasted…forever
Nothin like a plastic bat
And some grass and a metal fence
Having your true love near
And some wind and sand in your… hair
It didn’t get more real
Smellin a steak on the corner
Of 10th and ocean…..Russo’s was King…
Down at the Breakers
We didn’t stop havin fun
Down at the breakers
Havin some fun n…son
And we ran out the room…
When Lindros was picked …number 88…..we thought we won...

Nothin like a plastic bat
And some grass and a metal fence

Big Top Steam
A Big East Top Steam Whistle
The steam whistle goes off to sleep
No more coal left now we haul parcels and people places and then some
Want the steam whistle to echo through the valley
All I hear is a ghost whispering to me when I’m awake
So Kov bought it for scrap tryin to spin a buck
All he hears walking along great steel is
Ghostly voices coming from a steam engine from time before
They say here comes the Scrap Man
The butcher will tear us apart for profit
He says to them as long as I’m...

A Dummy and his Man
A man and his dummy
(Wayland and madame)
Ran into a ventriloquist
Wanted to get both sides
Man and his puppet
But he said I had to decide
Who I wanted to talk to
I thought they were…one and the same
But he had two sides
The side of a dummy
And his true life
Didn’t think I would have to make a choice
But it’s clear to see
That the man and his dummy
Are two separate beings
They’re two separate beings
Just two separate beings
The man puts him on the shelf
And then the...

Getting Late Now
It’s getting late now
I have a few more jobs to do
In the corner sweep up yesterday
As the clock runs down I grab my lunch pail
In the distance there’s a damage coming
We hear that there is a hurricane brewing
Boss says it isn’t so just keep working until
ya all go back to work it’s what you’re paid for
Clouds drop down heaven opens
The clouds dropped down hell opened
Boss says move your car out of the water
Flash flood warning upon us
Boss ignored the water...

Hymn for the Plastered
Hymn for the Plastered
I’m a drunk I’m trying to be a dad
Sit n stew get drunk before work
Hoping that these 8 hours wear off
Forgetting I have children looking at a lost father
Wake up in the sins that I deliver
Toss and turn my hip my shoulder are tender
I’m a drunk just like my father who I swear I would never be
I wish I wasn’t writing this but this is who I am
So I follow in the footsteps of my father
Trying to be a real dad
But everywhere I turn I go back to sin ...
I’m a drunk I’m trying to be a dad
Sit n stew get drunk before work
Hoping that these 8 hours wear off
Forgetting I have children looking at a lost father
Wake up in the sins that I deliver
Toss and turn my hip my shoulder are tender
I’m a drunk just like my father who I swear I would never be
I wish I wasn’t writing this but this is who I am
So I follow in the footsteps of my father
Trying to be a real dad
But everywhere I turn I go back to sin ...

Escape Me
Escape Me
How do you runaway from something
When you don’t know what you’re running from
Deep in me somewhere in a dark crevice
Is something that I can’t face for that face is me
Down in the basement of my soul
The lights are out and I don’t have a flashlight
Stumble back up the stairs of my mind
Pages fall off a calendar the leaves turn gold
The seasons change but nothings changed in me
Groundhog Day again with no peace for my being
So how do I run away from myself
...
How do you runaway from something
When you don’t know what you’re running from

Stumble back up the stairs of my mind
Pages fall off a calendar the leaves turn gold
The seasons change but nothings changed in me
Groundhog Day again with no peace for my being
So how do I run away from myself

Devil is Me
Devil you know
You thought you knew him but he’s the devil
He sits in the backseat words whispered
But you know him for he is you
Your intuition doesn’t lie but this time he did
So you know him real well
You both have a burger at the bar and grill
We both have love for our enemies
But we don’t see the enemy is only me
How can I love me when I motherfucking hate myself
So I see what is front of me but behind me is me
But it’s never behind me for it’s here again today...
You thought you knew him but he’s the devil
He sits in the backseat words whispered
But you know him for he is you
Your intuition doesn’t lie but this time he did
So you know him real well
You both have a burger at the bar and grill
We both have love for our enemies
But we don’t see the enemy is only me
How can I love me when I motherfucking hate myself
So I see what is front of me but behind me is me
But it’s never behind me for it’s here again today...

Rancid Love
My love is rancid
Can I find a sunny side
My love is not enchanted
But it’s my only love
Walk in the park singing
Wishing that this was not so
But it is and it hits me in the jaw
Can’t find a redeeming quality
So I am rancid and I don’t smell so good
I’m rancid what does that mean for you
Can I find a sunny side
My love is not enchanted
But it’s my only love
Walk in the park singing
Wishing that this was not so
But it is and it hits me in the jaw
Can’t find a redeeming quality
So I am rancid and I don’t smell so good
I’m rancid what does that mean for you

Diggin n Dyin (Cool Hand Luke)
Diggin n dyin livin n flyin(cool hand Luke)
Where are you now Plastic Jesus
You lived through me as I suffered
Nothing can be a real cool hand
Do everything you wish you did
You say boy I love you you’re a hero
Blue eyes pierce your fiction
Go fetch it Luke
Deader than hell won’t let go
You made a mistake about me
Took dog boys keys and off I go again
Living your dream
While I’ll suffer
Cool as the other side of the pillow
He can’t be deterred or broken down
A rebel with a cause ...
Where are you now Plastic Jesus

Nothing can be a real cool hand

You made a mistake about me
Took dog boys keys and off I go again

lies lost American
lies lost American
Walk barefoot into the Church
I wear sins of mankind like a thorn of crowns
My clothes are torn and tattered
But you allow me entry
I’m from somewhere far from here
My family is hungry so I want work for them
Jesus tells me lay your sins upon me
Starving at home so I send what I can
See Richness’s of America in me
The land of the free that’s what we know
But there’s stones in front of me and I can’t see
Water rising trying to keep my head...
Walk barefoot into the Church
I wear sins of mankind like a thorn of crowns
My clothes are torn and tattered
But you allow me entry
I’m from somewhere far from here
My family is hungry so I want work for them
Jesus tells me lay your sins upon me
Starving at home so I send what I can
See Richness’s of America in me
The land of the free that’s what we know
But there’s stones in front of me and I can’t see
Water rising trying to keep my head...
