Deeply Seated
Suicide?
Self harm?
Bleeding a trauma
Distorted vision
From a pain,
of
Deeply seated blame
Sitting on my shoulder,
A whore house persona
Suicide?
Self harm?

Euphoric Despair
I can’t get up when I'm down,
In this sea of misery, no I can’t swim
But my soul, oh no, it won’t drown
You see I can walk upon air
And I believe that I can walk
With such flair and speed
I'm in and out of my brain,
Euphoric despair running through my veins
It keeps warm but not at peace
For it is my sun and it is my rain....,
Euphoric despair running, jumping though my veins
Electrically charged but running off pain

Wreck Site
How many wrecks does it take
How many broken necks will snap
How many bones will break, before you leave sober from the bar…?
You say, im ok,
And into car…
You shall be driving a drunken holiday on a full night time highway
Everyone is in the way show the car they way home
Sleep on the wheel the car will surpass me
Stagger from the car with shards glass around thee
You laugh at the site that others despair
Its not coincidental that bar was left un-sobar
And now the wreck is the car

For as long as i remember,
For as long as i remember,
Looking out my windows,
Always trying to find the sun, knowing its somewhere around
Clouds are forming confusion,
Rain, snow and hail blow
My windows strewn and blurred and mystery hits the ground
As i remember i cant help but wonder
When will it ever stop
Stop the pouring down
And i remember the thump of thunder
It pushed me on my heels
Feeling like im a drown
But still i wonder
And i remember
Asking who’ll stop the rain
And i remember
And i still wonder
Why it wont nowt but rain

It Hurts To Say This But Your
A little bit weaker than you used to be
And Friday night’s gone too far
the dim light hides the years
on all the neglected dreams
Forgotten but not gone
you drink it off your mind
you talk about the world
like it’s someplace that you’ve been
You choke down all your anger
Forget your own two sons
Your anger don’t impress me
the world slapped in your face
You see you’d love to run home
But you know you ain’t got one
’Cause you’re living’ in a world that you’re best forgotten from
And when you’re thinking’ of a memory
And nobody there is gonna listen….everyone’s gone mum

Our Loves Birthmark
We made a mark on October 3rd, between you and me this was the birth but this to me was the start of our universe,
This day it all began, one day one place we came together me and you, a day with a birthmark that reminds me of our love you loving me and me loving you
January, February, march, April and may half way there to that special date
Got the calendar counting the days June, July, August then September and now October 3rd
This is the date it all began, one place that it came together more than a ring or a tattoo
A solid in the heart birthmark of the love I hold for you
reminds me eternally of you my love

Brand new Again
In-between the breaths I breathe,
There’s a monster that lets himself be known
Without a face and without a name,
But within me he’s found himself a home
To him, my skins is just a suitcase
Where all his dream are made,
Leaving me a storytelling nutcase
My life, a game being played by a plague
Whisked away to a place without a name
In underneath my sky he crept,
Stopping me from making sense again
As I tread his dreadful speedy step,
Pills dissolve trying to shake his throne,
Take me to the sky let me fly
And I travel alone my friend,
And ill land underneath the sky again

Dying is mot much of a living when your young
The prescription pills, they comfort me
Telling me not cry,
no-one says a prayer for me as it’s
Midnight I now close my eyes,
But the nights air is out here with me
Reminding me of ghost from early graves,
Singing whisky blues with gritted teeth as my
Guitar sits crying the lost soul serenade
Dying aint much of a living and
Crying is not much more of a better disguise
But when your living on the run, its too late for forgiveness
So I embrace the steel of my gun with god as my final witness
My minds unraveling constantly
The ties of haunting imagery have become undone
Concentration on the barrel,
Dying is mot much of a living when your young

And In My Head
I’m in serious need
I feel totally lost
And if I’m asking for help
It’s only because, deep inside of me
I am locked in, crying to be free
And in my head,
All the things ever said and
All the images ever seen
Are running, running but
Never leave my head
He said she said
They did he did she did
See this see that
Over and over
My minds broken vinyl track revolver
I keep asking myself how,
Wondering why it won’t leave my head

Dance all night and laugh all day
I like to prance all right
As I like to play
Let dance all night and dance whilst we pray,
For these avenues run straight to the heart, so we
Dance all night and laugh all day
And on our would the stage we’ll play our part
Nothing but actors imprisoned by a magnetic cage
So we hunt a thrill and kill the time
For we have potions and magic within our brains
I dance all night I dance all day as this is the energy of peace at play
When the heavens were created god was at play,
in the 6 he moulded and on the 7 rested a day
So in celebration we dance wholly with joy,
And with divinity, share energys between all within the routine
As we dance all night and we dance all day peace be upon us and us upon peace
