Waste
I fell in
Again
Halfway down
A bottle of bliss
Wasted the day
And now I’m pissed
And all I hear
Inside my ear
Is the reprimand
For my error
And then I see
It so clear
Facing me
In the mirror
Again
Halfway down
A bottle of bliss
Wasted the day
And now I’m pissed
And all I hear
Inside my ear
Is the reprimand
For my error
And then I see
It so clear
Facing me
In the mirror

young and fearless
i was once
young
and fearless,
i did
things
to my
satisfaction,
too careless
to be
beat down,
but now
so many
years
have passed,
my youth
long gone,
and i
take
my time,
i'm
a little
more cautious
these days.

Grief Lives After We Die
As I die
mortals watch the day
crying for eternity
embrace your hand in mine
daylight torn
pity the sadness
no forgiveness
forever be
burning me
mortals watch the day
crying for eternity
embrace your hand in mine
daylight torn
pity the sadness
no forgiveness
forever be
burning me

Mistakes in Stone
I, fully convinced,
Blazed a trail through walls of stone.
I, wholly mindless,
Destroyed beauty and love.
My folly now etched in time
Blazed a trail through walls of stone.
I, wholly mindless,
Destroyed beauty and love.
My folly now etched in time

the question
standing in the
bathroom
looking in the
mirror
asked the question
"Where did it go?"
the answer came
came like bombs
falling on Berlin
under black and
white news clip
skies from 1944
time...
you old bastard,
you
bathroom
looking in the
mirror
asked the question
"Where did it go?"
the answer came
came like bombs
falling on Berlin
under black and
white news clip
skies from 1944
time...
you old bastard,
you

torched
your eyes were either
candle light or a forest
fire
but it didn't
matter
in the end I always
got burned
candle light or a forest
fire
but it didn't
matter
in the end I always
got burned

Take me back
Just take me back
To that night
When I heard affection in your voice
Let me hear again
That precious tone
Belying your truth
I should have known then
That night
should have changed
Everything
I love YOU
To that night
When I heard affection in your voice
Let me hear again
That precious tone
Belying your truth
I should have known then
That night
should have changed
Everything
I love YOU

At A Friend's Party
Bonnie
woke up and
saw that
she was naked due
to her getting conned
into snorting some
cocaine
at a friend's
party.

Drinking On Wretched Memories...
Of times when my tongue was laser and blade
my ways, savage art.
I blackout on the day I broke you.
