In your web
You are suspended in me
In my heart you anchored your tethers
In my wounds you sunk your teeth
In my nylons you crafted holes
In my head you stole space
I am truly devastated by you
And I’ve got a sick obsession
I see you in my dreams
I want to hold you captive
I need a vaccine
You crawl through my sheets
And steal my air
Wrap me in your web
And take a chunk of me
I feel it through my body
I am powerless with you
In my heart you anchored your tethers
In my wounds you sunk your teeth
In my nylons you crafted holes
In my head you stole space
I am truly devastated by you
And I’ve got a sick obsession
I see you in my dreams
I want to hold you captive
I need a vaccine
You crawl through my sheets
And steal my air
Wrap me in your web
And take a chunk of me
I feel it through my body
I am powerless with you

Liquid Echoes Of Despair
chasing shadows lost
inside an empty shot glass
whiskey and false hope
inside an empty shot glass
whiskey and false hope

Fallen Angel
Quietly, she sits alone in an empty home
But the home she knows doesn't know her anymore
Unkindly, now she erupts out of her disgust
But the only thing disgusting is her own soul
-And now she's too far gone
She cannot be saved
Just like a fallen angel- (chorus1)
Desperately, she tries to make her way through this life
But life doesn't want her to find a way inside
Frantically, she searches for a reason to try
But all she can find is more pain for all her crimes
-Oh, now she's too far gone
She'll never be saved ...
But the home she knows doesn't know her anymore
Unkindly, now she erupts out of her disgust
But the only thing disgusting is her own soul
-And now she's too far gone
She cannot be saved
Just like a fallen angel- (chorus1)
Desperately, she tries to make her way through this life
But life doesn't want her to find a way inside
Frantically, she searches for a reason to try
But all she can find is more pain for all her crimes
-Oh, now she's too far gone
She'll never be saved ...

why do you only call me when you're high?
The phone rings
and I feel like I'm playing
Russian Roulette with
Jekyll and Hyde
to answer or ignore
to answer or ignore
to answer or ignore
I answer
And it's all "hey babe
how you doing
I miss you"
and I can pretend
with total conviction
that this is the real you
that this moment in time
is a slice of reality
untainted
30 minutes in and I wish
I hadn't picked up
the fucking phone
...

Lon Chaney Jr.
sweet torment,
don't splash your wine on me
these pockets are empty.
perched on a barstool
head held in calloused hands
as the lamplight shines
upon a weathered face,etched
with years
vespers murmur
as the conductor wields a swizzle stick
arid martinis know the truth.
limelight, it casts shadows
from Hollywood and Vine
I stutter, speaking
to a Woodward Avenue girl
man becomes the monster,
radio static whispers,
sweet voices torment
a green rosetta ripped...
don't splash your wine on me
these pockets are empty.
perched on a barstool
head held in calloused hands
as the lamplight shines
upon a weathered face,etched
with years
vespers murmur
as the conductor wields a swizzle stick
arid martinis know the truth.
limelight, it casts shadows
from Hollywood and Vine
I stutter, speaking
to a Woodward Avenue girl
man becomes the monster,
radio static whispers,
sweet voices torment
a green rosetta ripped...

Disintegrate
I spent eternity
Searching for my lost love
Among darkest nights
And forgotten drunken fights
Yet you stood right before me
With that look In your eyes
Knowing all the deceit
All the hidden lies
My mind was drowning
In waves of suicide
While you tried to pull me
From the deafening cries
I'll die right here
To save you the trouble
Don't waste your time
On mounds of rubble
I'll disintegrate
Right before your eyes
A closing curtain
With no final goodbyes ...
Searching for my lost love
Among darkest nights
And forgotten drunken fights
Yet you stood right before me
With that look In your eyes
Knowing all the deceit
All the hidden lies
My mind was drowning
In waves of suicide
While you tried to pull me
From the deafening cries
I'll die right here
To save you the trouble
Don't waste your time
On mounds of rubble
I'll disintegrate
Right before your eyes
A closing curtain
With no final goodbyes ...

after the novel
After the novel
The elderly gent next door drinks a few beers
before going to bed, to fall asleep quickly and
avoid unwanted dreams
We can say his dreams are a myriad of chaos
of thoughts ducking up like mushrooms
after rain
A rhapsody of life lived, a colored tapestry
lightening up the dreamless, who, in utter
despair, no, no, this can't be true
You are mixing up your life with books you
have read and made the content a part of the
truth, to give you strength to meet the day
and not fall into apathy playing poker...

Toxic
She starts her day out just the same as any other
She hasn't heard a single word from her brother
In ages
She'd like to think her life won't sink to the bottom
She tells herself she needs no help with her problems
Outrageous
-She takes the pain and shoves it down
She swears that she won't let it out
Now all alone she starts to drown
In her own spiritual drought
And everyone around
Can see she's lost her crown
As she helplessly falls to the ground
She's become toxic now- (chorus)
She pops her pills now just to...
She hasn't heard a single word from her brother
In ages
She'd like to think her life won't sink to the bottom
She tells herself she needs no help with her problems
Outrageous
-She takes the pain and shoves it down
She swears that she won't let it out
Now all alone she starts to drown
In her own spiritual drought
And everyone around
Can see she's lost her crown
As she helplessly falls to the ground
She's become toxic now- (chorus)
She pops her pills now just to...

After El
After El,
I spent
Years
Desperately drunk,
Begging heaven
For just
A moment more.
It never came.
But my knock
Will never
Vacate
Heaven’s door.
I spent
Years
Desperately drunk,
Begging heaven
For just
A moment more.
It never came.
But my knock
Will never
Vacate
Heaven’s door.

Poison and Flame
There is a serpent, and there is a dragon,
They bargain for mind and heart,
With tongues and scales,
Through shedding skin and ashes,
Broken promises of euphoria.
In their witching hour,
Hypnotic, manic induction,
Feverishly driven,
A temptation and tease,
Replaces abundance.
With the moon behind the sun,
As shadows darken,
Purpose is plundered,
Through fascination,
A wondrous curiosity.
Stubborn and boneheaded,
The battle with eternal conviction,
Control and choice are...
They bargain for mind and heart,
With tongues and scales,
Through shedding skin and ashes,
Broken promises of euphoria.
In their witching hour,
Hypnotic, manic induction,
Feverishly driven,
A temptation and tease,
Replaces abundance.
With the moon behind the sun,
As shadows darken,
Purpose is plundered,
Through fascination,
A wondrous curiosity.
Stubborn and boneheaded,
The battle with eternal conviction,
Control and choice are...
