Black Cherry Vet
I’ve got miles and miles of heart
I’m going to live forever
But I’ve gotta take a step back
Before you kill me
Invisibility whispers doubt
Tempting a pointless race
From your mirror eyes
Without my reflection
Speeding away in my Black Cherry Vet
Music’s blazing trying to forget
Top down Black Cherry hair
Flying high whipping all around
Holding hands with the open road
Merging into the night
Cause I don’t want to fight
Got whiskey and coke on ice
Poured into my glass cup
Topped off at...

Flying high whipping all around
Holding hands with the open road
Merging into the night

Shock Treatment
Do you honestly think
That he will ever change?
Change his clothes maybe
Or his partners
Or try to change you
Mold you into the
Perfect sheep
Willing to follow
As he takes you down the
Winding road of
Losing your sanity over him
Only to be shocked
Back into reality
As the door closes behind him
And you lock the door
That he will ever change?
Change his clothes maybe
Or his partners
Or try to change you
Mold you into the
Perfect sheep
Willing to follow
As he takes you down the
Winding road of
Losing your sanity over him
Only to be shocked
Back into reality
As the door closes behind him
And you lock the door

Rump Pa Pa Pum
Don't have to agree with your point of view
In order for me to amicably respect you
Too few ride this midnight train of thought
Ignorantly disrespecting; erecting wars to be fought
Causing rage to inject its deadly venom
Civility ejects before destroying kingdoms
Rump pa pa pum bellowing is the chorus
As bullets fly in the sky like they're Horus
In order for me to amicably respect you
Too few ride this midnight train of thought
Ignorantly disrespecting; erecting wars to be fought
Causing rage to inject its deadly venom
Civility ejects before destroying kingdoms
Rump pa pa pum bellowing is the chorus
As bullets fly in the sky like they're Horus

Candy Rain
One night Mike and Ike got into a fight
Over a Hot Tamale that they both liked
Ike punched Mike dead in his Hershey kisser
For trying to Debo him like Tiny "Zeus" Lister
A red Twizzler is what Mike definitely ain't
Swung his Mr. Goodbar and made Ike faint
The taint of their friendship lasted til Payday
Then they solicited the Snikers' Bar like any other day
Over a Hot Tamale that they both liked
Ike punched Mike dead in his Hershey kisser

A red Twizzler is what Mike definitely ain't
Swung his Mr. Goodbar and made Ike faint

easy way to piss off a lover ( or that seemingly innocuous moment just before a relationship ends)
it had been a difficult
couple of days in
our relationship
one night my lover
asked me
(demanded actually)
"What is it YOU want!"
and i responded
"The Collective Short
Stories of R. Carver."
and my lover yelled,
"WHAT THE HELL KIND
OF ANSWER IS THAT!"
"AND WHAT ABOUT
ME!"
and i said,
"Oh? Do you like ...

Out of Sight, Out of Time
For all I think I've learned
of love
a forever unanswered question
remains
what does it means when it comes from you?
Those words that once flowed easily
from your lips
now dammed somewhere beneath your larynx
in your time-honored farce
that silence drowns what's left unsaid
So, here we are
again
in the vortex
of our beautiful oblivion
those precious parts we chucked
into the jar
pressed puree without the lid on
splattering everything that ever mattered
with persistent stains

mistaking adrenaline for butterflies
The people in my family are cursed by their own hand
Generational trauma attracting a certain kind of lover
Broken with sad eyes and a story that breaks your heart
Anger living in their fists and haunting their mouths
Using life ruining methods to numb their pain
When your home was never safe for you
You have to distrust those who feel like home
Beautiful damage meeting beautiful damage
Doesn't always make something beautiful
Feeling comfortable in feeling unsafe with them
Mistaking adrenaline for butterflies is dangerous
There's a...

Red Bottoms
Anger buried so deep that it's grown roots
Ready to deploy like Soldiers in boots
Sprouting to the surface and about to bloom
I'm trying self suppression before it booms
It's starting to consume my innermost thoughts
In a web of rage is where I feel that I'm caught
Taught to be calm and to keep a level head
Folks keep trying me and got me seeing red
Ready to deploy like Soldiers in boots
Sprouting to the surface and about to bloom
I'm trying self suppression before it booms
It's starting to consume my innermost thoughts
In a web of rage is where I feel that I'm caught
Taught to be calm and to keep a level head
Folks keep trying me and got me seeing red

Au revoir
Another page is turned
Devastated, drained and to say the least, hurt.
On my own again at the winter of my life.
Nothing to look forward to
No help in sight, no family to rely on
How does one cope with this?
I don't drink, I don't do drugs
Hell, I'm not rich enough to ease my pain with these things.
Future looks bleak, for now.
I've always been one to get back on my feet stronger.
This time feels different....

I don't drink, I don't do drugs
Hell, I'm not rich enough to ease my pain with these things.
Future looks bleak, for now.
I've always been one to get back on my feet stronger.
