Bullet in a Barrel
She scoffed and asked me
where I get my HEROES from
I snapped and said this
The bottom of a barrel,
and then she begged me to tell her where
I scraped my air of EGO from
and out of my mouth fell truth,
from rotten cells neath the scum
beneath the bottom of that same barrel,
Then she chimed in, pleading me, asking me
from where
did all my EVIL come,
she'd caught a stench
Me weeping, somehow managed to hum her this
From a slug inside a pothole
beneath the bottom of that barrel's bum
then seeing my life summed up, I loaded my guns barrel
and seeing me cry, she watched me die as we sung this
As she took me for a drive
I was feeling numb bliss
enjoying sunny skies
it was wondrous
she was wondrous
a real beauty
I was hoping for a tongue kiss
she could see me shooting love
with dumb eyes
my heart thunderous
but she was wooing
with looks that had me stunned, whipped
an angel grooming
I was young, gripped
by halo moving
my chest gave off breath of lungs
fixed, my
love was looming
I had felt love, but none this
blood was blooming
in my hung tip
my lap bag removing
view of my hungerous
shaft assuming
what I thought would be
a smooch
followed by a hundred
turns out
my antennae needed tuning
she had other plans and
swept my fandom
in an act
I felt, for her was easy brooming
I wondered,
why'd she'd done this
She scoffed and asked me
where I get my HEROES from
I snapped and said this
The bottom of a barrel,
and then she begged me to tell her where
I scraped my air of EGO from
and out of my mouth fell truth,
from rotten cells neath the scum
beneath the bottom of that same barrel,
Then she chimed in, pleading me, asking me
from where
did all my EVIL come,
she'd caught a stench
Me weeping, somehow managed to hum her this
From a slug inside a pothole
beneath the bottom of that barrel's bum
then seeing my life summed up, I loaded my guns barrel
and seeing me cry, she watched me die as we sung this
We drove on and I was shocked now
thought we had a spark
thinking why'd I shoot my shot now
she told me how
her heart was filled with art
and she said that I was an empty field, crop ploughed
I was meat of rotten cow
her hate for me gave way
to thoughts loud
feeling like I'd been shot now
knocked around
and what's worse
we were outta town
still driving neath a cloud and
I was holding back tears
feeling violent now
remaining silent now
thinking of how a fist can pow
my rage insistent now
couldn't resist
my mind making lists foul
behind
a smile that had dipped to scowl
my wit had werewolfed into wish to howl
and I found myself
choking a gal
You could have chosen to lift me up
or let me down lightly
you could have not picked me up
in your truck
just to pick me apart and bite me
you could have not ever known me
or not turned around
to spite me
you could have not
asked me about my past
to use it just to write
creep
you could have acted politely
you could have been a lady
kept to yourself
or behaved delightfully
I idolize the wrong kind of human
yes I was born in a can and
my soul's fuming
yes I wish I was in demand
and my mailbox was booming
yes I should be a proper man
not demon doomed and
yes I think I'm better than I am
and yes I have a crush like any Stan
and yes I'm made of mush
and have growing glands
I follow trails of ghosts
and to a graveyard I have ran
but I had feelings for you
I wished healing for you
but you had to go and muck it up
and now I hope you know you fucked it up
though I know you don't
I'm only mad because I know I'm awful
and express myself awfully
I'm shit, I released my grip
She scoffed and asked me
where I get my HEROES from
I snapped and said this
The bottom of a barrel,
and then she begged me to tell her where
I scraped my air of EGO from
and out of my mouth fell truth,
from rotten cells neath the scum

From a slug inside a pothole
beneath the bottom of that barrel's bum
then seeing my life summed up, I loaded my guns barrel
and seeing me cry, she watched me die as we sung this
Goodbye to the world
goodbye to the girls
goodbye to bad reviews
and chicks with hair in curls
goodbye to bad news
and my mind swirling
goodbye to the quiet times
and a mind unfurling
goodbye to my old self
goodbye to all to come
goodbye to my book shelf
goodbye to my loaded gun
cuz it will be smoking
like it just slept
with a queen wet
or a woke king
goodbye to bad thoughts poking
sad that I fought and
found my self to be a baritone
this a low sing
this a blue note
this result of doping
and lack of groped pheromones
this is woe is me
a sad soul
I hold a pair of those
no hoping
I could be spared or show
any remorse or progress
or see to chores
make my mom blessed
I've lived a dirty mess of
perpetual regression
I continue to stress my self
and all invested
gotta feed a bullet now
with hopes to load some depth in
furrowed brow
anxious fingers get my steps in
trigger lingers waiting to be flexed in
taxi driver in the mirror
Robert Deniro leering glum
