Skint
I'm gettin' tired of having no money
Gettin' to where it's no longer funny
No more laughin'
Just a sorry lookin' frown
Try to look back
To when I weren't feeling down....
Gettin' to where it's no longer funny
No more laughin'
Just a sorry lookin' frown
Try to look back
To when I weren't feeling down....

Acceptance
Try to accept me
...for what I am…
And I will try too
...to accept you...
...for what I am…
And I will try too
...to accept you...

Space Gas
The janky stanky winds
of reflection
are blowing in
my direction,
yet I don't care to see
who I've become.

over the hill
If you're not getting anywhere running slowly
...walk faster…
remember... the tortoise and the hare?

The Hidden
The comfort of anonymity
makes it easy
to retract
from a disappointing run
through the trials
of getting to the core
of that once hopeful being.

Dearly departed
Watching my life
pass me by
Through windows
That once were my eyes
Floating away
But it's no escape
pass me by
Through windows
That once were my eyes
Floating away
But it's no escape

Ellipsis
Only red is left
I've lost my breath
I wish my head
Was in the oven
I've lost my breath
I wish my head
Was in the oven

Weird
I'm a weird muthafukka
Every day I surprise the shit out of myself
And wonder if I'm weird
And I think that makes me a weird muthafukka
Every day I surprise the shit out of myself
And wonder if I'm weird
And I think that makes me a weird muthafukka
