Methamphetamine
Needles were never meant to pierce your skin.
My dear, you are not a doll.
Those needles can't sew you back together again.

Lust
intensity winds its thistling vines
binding limbs against an intricate pleasure
kneading a distraction to soothe the ache
chafing me raw In significant measures

Loss
Loss of youth
Loss of truth
Loss of innocence
Loss of consequence
Loss of control
But what hurts most is
Loss of hope

Loss of innocence
Loss of consequence
Loss of control
But what hurts most is
Loss of hope

Future Ben
Oh, I’m gonna pay for it tomorrow
No question
No doubt
It’s here, my pain
I’m gonna pay for it
Tomorrow
No question
No doubt
It’s here, my pain
I’m gonna pay for it

Liquefy my mind
I got nothing else to give
Heathen of mischief

When One Gets Drunk At A Bar
Josh gulped a few beers.
He saw Kate's dress sliding off.
Josh woke up naked.

chasing shadows lost
inside an empty shot glass
whiskey and false hope

Drink the bottle down
Feel the warming numbing rush
Diluting the soul

Clear liquid, ice cold
Burning warmth in every sip
Glass echoes its tale.

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.
