Be My Getaway Driver
Wound up, lucid, in my American daydreams
News, sounding like high density magazines
With red, paintings, draining from the curbs
Hiring getaway drivers to just escape the burbs
Rich rain, white shirts, flying from Yacht Towers
How, we're all neighbors? Thick hedge flowers
Eyes shut, popping blue pills just to make money
Political kerosene, smelling sweeter than honey
Please, pinch me by the throat, I won't scream
Be my getaway driver, take me from this dream

Please, pinch me by the throat, I won't scream

What Did I Do?
Orlando
woke up naked on a
Sunday and discovered an also
naked Pandora sleeping next to him before
he went into the bathroom and threw
up before asking "What
did I do?"

Pigs
Pigs on the left
Tories on the right
What we gon’ do?
We’re gonna start a fight!
A fight between the classes
An uprising of the masses
A battle of ideology
We’ll rise from the ashes
The ashes of deprivation
Degradation
And alienation
The ashes of feudalism
Liberalism
And fascism
Oh why can’t we see beyond
All the bollocks
All the rhetoric
Why have we stopped seeking the truth
Seeking justice
Seeking equality
Tories on the right
What we gon’ do?
We’re gonna start a fight!
A fight between the classes
An uprising of the masses
A battle of ideology
We’ll rise from the ashes
The ashes of deprivation
Degradation
And alienation
The ashes of feudalism
Liberalism
And fascism
Oh why can’t we see beyond
All the bollocks
All the rhetoric
Why have we stopped seeking the truth
Seeking justice
Seeking equality

Speak your narrative
Following in patterns of sensationalized sign language
Make it say what you want it to
When everybody’s sky is falling
Seasons of our relative apocalyptic delusions
I won’t doubt a wonder but I’ll call it what it is
Stretch the facts into the mold of what you want to see
What speaks to you may not say a word to me
But it’s “your truth”, it’s your cypher, it’s your “prophecy”
Loose translations, contorted interpretations
Twist the words just right to harbor the impact
Looking for incidental events ...

In one ounce of blood
there is around
one hundred &
fifty billion red
blood cells,
in one pint of blood
there is around two
point four trillion
red blood cells,
you can't wash
away blood with
soap and water
and you cannot
wash away the
shame of war.

Catch and Release
Baited by a thought
The molest of exploited immodesty
It’s buy one body get one soul
When attraction is an overpriced commodity
Two edges of the same fight
When flirting on the fringe
Responsibilities thrown to the wind
Sedated by these images
Fed through the minds syringe
Subtleties of seductions lure causing us to bend
Hooker, lie, and drowning
Adulterated hearts
Tricking for cheap affections
Reputation suicide
Sell yourself for parts
We melt like water soluble metal
When integrity is poured...

World of Filth
Humans are destroying mother earth
fertile lands toxic, decaying rebirth
air, land and sea are heavily polluted
deforestation, extinction, trees uprooted
corporations profit, not a care for our well being
asthma, emphysema, difficulties breathing
diseased animals, FDA approves to consume
aquatic life tainted, lead in our blood stream, awaiting doom
man made diseases, a global threat to our demise
extinction is certain, time to revolt, time to rise

Drawing From Dry Wells
Diagnosis by way of experience
At the surface is all I want to be seen
When secrets are the things of nightmares
Fetishes of fleshly delicacies embody the devils dream
Pawn to plagues
Wrath thirsty stones
Isolated, we sit
In the anguish of our lethal thrones
Articulate the symptoms
Contagion like a silent auction
Mixers of our demons
Cocktails of individual concoction
Placing bids upon the trafficking of the soul
Indulgences lure, hearts for trade, con man giver
Fooled into investments made and stole ...

Some needed justice
I hear a pig's radio outside my window
It's 2:30 am
I look out the window
I see a pig screaming in some youths face
I decide to crack the window open and I hear...,
"YOUR HAMMERED, TANKED, WASTED, BLASTED, SKUNKED, FRIED, LOADED, SLOSHED, WRECKED, TOASTED AND PIE-EYED!"
"I HAVE COMPLAINTS OF YOU DEFACING PROPERTY AND DISORDERLY CONDUCT!!"
"WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY FOR YOURSELF??!"
I couldn't hear the boy, he's talking to low
He couldn't be no more then 15
Pig says, "WHAT IT WASN'T YOU?!",...

Came Back To Shore After Swimming Naked
Briana
came back to shore after
swimming naked in the water and
discovered that Simon was filming her with his
camcorder which made Briana want
to cover her chest and
run away.

The New Hate
Versed against desire
What words in motion to sate the thirst for fire
Crucifixion before resurrection
The cross is not just an escapists will to survive
Dying to self is the means by which we truly come alive
The lost art of sacrifice
It’s like we’re falling in every way but love
Pulled apart by the divided grips of gravity
Starving and feeding
The scarcity of hope is the feast of our depravity
It’s not a question of the truth Your heart will tell
But the replies of bloodthirsty compatibility or the unrequited hell
...
