Crawl in my Mind
Crawl in my mind
Who am I to allow you to
Enter the reception I didn’t choose you
You are living when I die
You enter down a dark staircase
The thoughts that are stolen are mine
You will be scared can’t look away it’s time
Time for all of us just to stop time
It’s time for all of us to get a handle on us
The world we wasted in our lives
Don’t look away at our decay
This doesn’t just live in my mind
I am you you are me no in between
Can’t cut away I’m...
Who am I to allow you to
Enter the reception I didn’t choose you
You are living when I die
You enter down a dark staircase
The thoughts that are stolen are mine
You will be scared can’t look away it’s time
Time for all of us just to stop time
It’s time for all of us to get a handle on us
The world we wasted in our lives
Don’t look away at our decay
This doesn’t just live in my mind
I am you you are me no in between
Can’t cut away I’m...

Still
Still birth in my brain
I am born again
From cradle to grave
I’m the only one I can save
Born into a new world
On the other side of me
Swim through placenta
And I am free
Crawling on all fours
Can’t reach the door
Pick myself up
And I’m a little toddler
Growing into my new being
I can walk and talk and sing
Still trying to figure out
What this world’s all about
Starting to grow again
Now I’m a young adult
Trying to figure this world out ...
I am born again
From cradle to grave
I’m the only one I can save
Born into a new world
On the other side of me
Swim through placenta
And I am free
Crawling on all fours
Can’t reach the door
Pick myself up
And I’m a little toddler
Growing into my new being
I can walk and talk and sing
Still trying to figure out
What this world’s all about
Starting to grow again
Now I’m a young adult
Trying to figure this world out ...

Quiet Noise
The quiet is so noisy
The silence kills me
Noisy in the silence
My demon runs free
Can’t hear a pin drop
Cascading rhythm in my head
Hear a bird sing his symphony
Cars ramble by destroy the silence
Noise is in my brain I stumble to get up
Silence when I need noise the most
Can’t hear anything
So I look to make a racket
Silence only comes to one in a casket
The silence kills me
Noisy in the silence
My demon runs free
Can’t hear a pin drop
Cascading rhythm in my head
Hear a bird sing his symphony
Cars ramble by destroy the silence
Noise is in my brain I stumble to get up
Silence when I need noise the most
Can’t hear anything
So I look to make a racket
Silence only comes to one in a casket

I’m a fabulous disaster(I’m Sid Vicious)
I’m a fabulous disaster(I’m Sid Viscious)
You try to come but I’m faster
Than a hurricane here after
Broken glass i hit the ceiling
I turn around and you’re screaming
I am a fabulous dresser i wear ribbons and bows
I have a razor blade in my wardrobe
You think i am an asshole you can’t buy my punk rock star
Everyone is packing their bags for the trip across the pond
But everyone is boring i exterminate the sadness
What about the farewell drugs that you promised
On a bus down in Texas s h i t i have no...

Queen of Serra Mesa
Queen of Serra Mesa
Bad enough i live on the streets
Now i got young punks looking to hunt me down
My life is not so good but its the only life i got
People look down on me some show me some love
Most look at me annoyed that they have to even see me
Go to the church to get warm and grab some food that they’re giving
Living in a leaking tent with a wet sleeping bag welcome to my house
I’m the Queen of Serra Mesa everyone knows me
Bad enough i sleep on the dirty street
Now to young punks I’m...

I’m the Gravedigger
I’m the grave digger
i wait until you are gone in tears
i stand with my shovel waiting
all thats left is flowers and fear
Grave digger that’s what I am
Dig graves for you and me
you all disperse going back to your life
i put my spade into family soil
the dirt i toss off goes back generations
as they weep and file into the congregation
i wipe off the sweat that lingers
pack the dirt down dont leave an impression
Grave digger for you and me
Grave digger for all to...

Wounds not Seen
Wounds Not seen
The wounds no one sees
In a bunker shaking and shivering
Hear the blast that will change me forever
Wake up in a hospital coming out of a coma
I’m groggy but it’s becoming clear
That I am not the same person
Before I signed up for this
And I have kids and a dog
Out of the fog of war I realize I’m still here
But I’m half a person lost my shoulder and arm
And cut at the knees
So I get back home and I tease my kids
Get my tennis shoes so I can run with you
On a...
