Habitual Dependence
Will you catch me this time if I fall?
your support has become a hindrance
the last several times I hit bottom real hard
I'm trying desperately to release the demons
it isn't easy when your neglected without assistance
you've said you loved me and you know that I love you
is it a lie?
i need you now, more then ever before
please, be by my side
we said years back through thick & thin
bonded together we'll always win
The dream is crumbling
reality is a curse
your support has become a hindrance
the last several times I hit bottom real hard
I'm trying desperately to release the demons
it isn't easy when your neglected without assistance
you've said you loved me and you know that I love you
is it a lie?
i need you now, more then ever before
please, be by my side
we said years back through thick & thin
bonded together we'll always win
The dream is crumbling
reality is a curse

The Breakdown
Falling into the abyss the rocks felt like a million needles
Every one of them with a furious blast
Icicles tearing away at eyelids feeling fucking evil
Each one becoming worst than the last
But from there, there’s no way to go but up
Unless you dig Deep Underground
At the core you begin to understand the upheaval
All the while you slide into the breakdown
And then, when there is nothing left
All you can do is move forward
Every one of them with a furious blast
Icicles tearing away at eyelids feeling fucking evil
Each one becoming worst than the last
But from there, there’s no way to go but up
Unless you dig Deep Underground
At the core you begin to understand the upheaval
All the while you slide into the breakdown
And then, when there is nothing left
All you can do is move forward

The Awakening
I thought
I had somewhere
To be
Forgotten
Memories
Held me captive
Yet somehow
Clarity clawed
Through
The thicket
Of self doubt
Turns out
My life
was just
A stop gate
My confidence
Diverted
My self worth
Abandoned
I lost myself
In the pleasure
Of others
Afterwards
Empty arms
Left my soul
Uninhabited
Those chains ...

a requiem for pain
I'm losing my internal battle
my grip slips and I want to scream nonstop
I'm being tortured to what end?
it hurts to think I can't cut it
is this my life from now on?
wear a chain or else
bloody hell
I've talked with ones like me
anxious hell with a gut churning chaser
admittedly I am afraid
I sleep and the call enters
ringing off the hook...my need
I will try again I feel I have no choice
but I'm not going to lie to you
if my only option is constant in your face pain
I choose...

Chasing the Dragon
filtered hues of rainbow
filled the fantastic landscape
where wishes thought of, lived
during sleepless nights
with the colours of distant
memories filled the space
of his meandering dreams
he surfed on shiny surface
he didn't want to wake up
to a drab existence
picking meagre coins
that jingle in his pocket
in tandem with his dripping sweat
listening to old songs
from an ancient radio
plaintive songs of lost love
he went home to sleep
daily, chasing the dragon
knowing he was trapped
in...

Satisfaction's Mirage
In the grip of a manic dream
the world was starting to end
with a trickster bro-flake pundit scream
about the youthful commie trend.
It were end times the hidebound way
with heritage the chief of disguise
blocking thought cock every time they pray
for the salvation of enterprise,
so often sold by saying it's free
and free it is to the idle rich
who make that purchase with the liberty
you lost in a car lot bait and switch,
and now parking lots outnumber parks
since few have read the works of Karl Marx.

Feel Good
You like that dont you
"Yes I think I do"
There's no one else here except me and you
I can make you feel good
You realize don't you, no one cares but me
I'm the only one that can really see
The fear, the pain, that you endure everyday
If you let me I can make them go away
Just allow me once to be your friend
All rips and tears I will mend
Overeating or afraid of food
Just lie with me, I can make you feel good
Abuse, I'll end of any kind
With a little time I'll heal your mind
Take off...

We Need to Talk
A classic family shadow
on a round-about trip,
As I see the future
that you're letting slip,
Remember when your cousin
was all string out?
Don't you see
you're following him now?
Another wasted talent,
a G damn fucking tragedy.
Still wonder why
I didn't want to leave?
My honesty
only cuts if it is true,
And I only say it
because I fucking love you!
If you were in my shoes,...

rock solid
in recovery for over
40 years now
watched em'

few died
sat in the rooms

waded through the

a higher power
