Not a formed person(wish to be)
Kids teach us more
Than any PHD
Not a formed person but I
Wish to be
They teach sheer joy and wonder
And how it should be
Being themselves
Not being afraid
Not a formed person but
Wish to be
Until the ugly world
Comes to their door to take their innocence away
It doesn’t knock it
Kicks it in…and the
Innocence can’t return
Innocence and believing
Is the wonder of life
And it lives when we are
A little naive
And we still believe
In our better being ...

Heavy 13
Feeling heavy 13
Feeling heavy carbon
I’m 13 into my fusion
Fusion fuels me I speed
Colliding with myself
I’m nuclear in you
My tension fuels me and
I’m spinning like a top
Symphony when we crash together
We crash and blow up the world
Fall into a rhythm like we’re in chic fil a
While my sins scream from the pew
Church of sins inside me
I’m feeling heavy carbon I’m 13
Hover above light carbon 12 doesn’t spark
Nuclear chemistry...

Untitled(Sounds of the City)
Untitled (Sounds of the City)
Dew hangs above the blades of grass
Like some Chinese weather balloon
Sink into the hammock of my sleep
As my thoughts dream their dreams
Pick up my thoughts and some coffee
Put em into the passenger side
With no safety belt
Train on the tracks that pass through town
Clack their clackety clacks
As the light turns green
Pick up the rhythm the city lays down
Hear the beep beep of reverse
Delivery at the market
Siren picks up where delivery left off ...

Chasing my Dream(singing on the bridge)
Chasing my dream
Singing on the bridge
Looking to pay for me
Feeding family on a couple on yuan
I’m chasing dragons I thought were dreams
Living in a land that crushes yearning
Singing for supper is better than giving in to
Set up my lights camera on I’m rolling
Five feet away another is lighting up
On the bridge of broken dreams
Hope I’m the one that breaks free
If I’m the one what happens to them
Suffering in silence screams are inside
...

Mary will be a Mass Shooter
Mary will be a mass shooter
Before the age of 21
On her phone so alone
She’s not a race car driver
But a consumer of social media
Fabric of youth
Impetuous adolescence
Being spit at with words
Her defense is not apparent
Venom in her head
Saturday night parents are out
Gun cabinet left open
Her prescription
To her affliction
Sits on a shelf
Impressive killing machine
Wraps her fingers tight
Target in sight
Squeeze the pain out of me
No...

Look at your Destiny
Look at your destiny
Take a breath
Don’t look away
Tomorrow is gone before you know
Take a look at all you’ve done
Promises left on the shelf
Take my hand hold me close
Don’t want to lose this moment
In the future
Take away all sense of me
Show me my destiny
Take away for all to see
My soul bare on your sleeve
Take a picture in your mind
Burned into time
Don’t turn around
It’s all behind
Take a breath don’t look away
Tomorrow is for all time
...

Script
Get a prescription
For addiction
Adderall for all
What can’t get mine
Need chemical healing
In my head
Search through my jeans
Find a pill make life still
Stop this throbbing in my head
Shaking like Lazarus
Searching for Jesus
Factory shut down
No pills for me
Add em up I have no pill
Stop this racing in my head
Can I get a prescription
For my addiction
Lifeboat for my pain
Twitchy and sweaty
Pulse won’t slow down
Feel a clam on...

Blonde Velvet Crush
Blond velvet crush
Nothing like a woman
Who can slay the dragon
Then lay down like a Maiden
Curls of the Sun with some lush lips
Pics up her axe and slays the crowd
Let’s her hair down
In a rock n roll underground
Slow it down take in everything
Baking cakes in an easy bake oven
Head is spinning
Ears are ringing
Getting lost in the skirt of this young lady
Slow it down watch everyone
Just staring on taking videos
As I watch my blond velvet crush
In a mosh pit
...

1600 Bailey Street
1600 Bailey street
Smell the powder of the gun
3 yrs old dancing in the street
Not on a perp sheet
Braids of sunshine in her hair
Innocence meet violence
Sorry but it’s the wrong time
To be young without gunshots
Bailey street seems sweet
But without a bullet proof soul
Can’t cut between the cars
Or jump some hopscotch
Having to keep looking over my shoulder
And duck for cover
Bailey street is just like America
More guns than people
2nd Amendment is Bible to them...

Silence once between us(make the loudest sound)
The silence once between us makes the loudest sound
You are there before me you’re beautiful
Once I let your love surround me
I can’t breathe I’m full of love in you
Catch my breath turn around and you’re gone in an instant
My love for you doesn’t ever end even when I’m sleeping
I dream of you
So when we can’t agree I love you you love me no in between
The bond between holds us in our love
So when we disagree don’t do something to spite me
Like give me silent treatment or a...

Night Stalker
From the beginning of time
Monsters are real not just in nightmares
By candlelight under a full moon
Drinks my blood to live my sins
But he escapes my dreams
The mist of midnight reveals who he is
Only a few hours till sunrise clouds shift about
Sliver of Sun is a Crucifix to a black heart
Tv people misread the news
He died in 1923 but he’s killing at the millennium
Crossing the globe sewing murder
Drinking the blood of Las Vegas
Shot twenty times at close range
Tosses cops into the pool
Leaps...

Gangs of History(5B’s)
Gangs of history( 5 B’s)
Dead rabbits on the run
Fake patriots march on town
Bill the butcher cuts em down
A surgeon digging the flesh
A flank or a rump roast
Pick pocket with some curves and a smile
Lift your watch while you stare in her eyes
She gets away before you realize
Razor cuts through time blood on the blade
Don’t wipe it off stealing from my sleeping self
Dreams dance in heaven half remembered
St Michael send Satan into the fire
And the hate grows breathing
And seething
