There Will Always Be One

It's a vicious circle
A vicious cycle
This lovesick heart
Will always know
No matter if you're here
Or she's there
I'll always love one

Out Of My League

In a short time you've come to mean a lot to me
More than I think that you can see
You've got thoughts floating through my head constantly

A girl once told me, "Distance ain't shit"
Those words I hope she won't forget
Because, as far as I can see, we're a pretty good fit

You make me want to be a better man
To do the best that I possibly can
In such a short time, I don't understand

I hope you aren't put off by how I feel
I hope this is the start of something real
You are a woman for whom my heart can heal

My Heart Will Be Broken

In the time it takes
For two to conversate
I felt a quake
In my soul, so great

The thought that this might
Be slipping out of sight
Frightens me to my core
But I could not ask for more

I spent two days
Learning different ways
To make you smile
And to make you frown

I spent two days
Only a heartbeat away
From an apparent kindred soul

Now I lay awake wondering
What could be lying ahead
All that could have been said
And what it all means

I'm at a loss for words
As this poem winds to an end
I've found a girl worth pursuing
And I no longer have to pretend

The End

He hides in the shadows as she reaches her car.
Swiftly he comes up behind her,
Covers her mouth
Puts her in a blood choke.
"Go to sleep, bitch."
He hears her muffled cries from the backseat when she wakes up a few minutes later.
He has no sympathy.
There is a fear in her eyes unlike anything he's ever seen before.
It's exciting.
She finally feels his pain.
His sorrow and loss.
Or at least she will...

Upon reach the cabin,
He drags her by the hair out of the car.
Pulls her into the shack.
She looks around,
All over there are pictures,
There are memories.

He pulls a knife from his pocket.
Draws it across her face gently.
"You scared yet?"
Slice.
The first cut.
The blood trickles down her cheek.
Slice.
Another cut.
The blood trickles faster now.

"Don't worry. I'm not going to kill you. Yet."
He smiles as he looks into her eyes.
It's the smile of a man with nothing to lose.
A smile that shows pain.
A smile that shows justified hate.
A smile of insanity.

Just when she thinks she sees
A glimmer of humanity in his eyes
The spark is gone.
More cuts.
A thousand tiny cuts.
Until she is screaming in pain.
Writhing, bound to the chair
SCREAMING IN PAIN

No one can hear her.
No one is there.
He is there
But his soul is empty.
Nothing to lose.

With her bleeding profusely from every inch of her skin,
He pours a bucket of salt water over her head.
She screams in agony.
He has no compassion for her.
He makes sure she's bound securely
Before he leaves for the day.

"I'll be back tomorrow
to pick up where I left off."

Societal Sickness

--THIS IS NOT A TEST.--

YOU ARE SICK.

YOU ARE LIVING A LIE.

YOU NEED THE ANTI-VENOM

YOU NEED THE ANTIDOTE

YOU NEED TO BE FREE.

SAVE YOURSELF BEFORE THIS GETS WORSE

THE BIRDS FALL FROM THE SKY

AND THE GROUND TAKES THE EDIFICE BACK

THROUGH FIRE AND BRIMSTONE

WE WILL ALL FALL.

--I REPEAT:--

--THIS IS NOT A TEST--

DO NOT TAKE THIS AT FACE VALUE

YOU NEED TO THINK

LOOK AROUND YOU

WHAT IS HAPPENING?

ASK YOURSELF A QUESTION TODAY

TOMORROW WILL BE BETTER.

--THIS IS NOT A TEST--

I Hate The Smell Of Cinnamon Air Fresheners

Neurotic pain spews forth from the interhemispheric fissure
Choking optic nerves with strength reserved for immortals
Zeus' bolt shoved, destroying the basal ganglia with pressure
Vomit usurping the...
...fuck I lost my train of thought.

I'm just going to unplug this fucking thing.

On My Altar Of Bones

Secret sex tears nations apart
While underlings scrape by
Societal difference causing waste
As humans die on the sidelines

Covet thy neighbour for this is capitalism
Covet thy neighbours wife for this is healthy
Honour thy father, thy mother be damned
There are many gods before me

Philosophical minds breed contempt
For governments that know best
Just follow blindly, all my sheep
The organization won't lead you astray

Drop to thy knees and worship the Dollar
Exalt the Pound and Euro
For thine kingdom is and ever will be
A hell upon the backs of the people

Dreaming of Your Divinity

As I close my eyes and drift off to sleep
I begin to dream of you
There's so many things I want to say
And so many I want to do
If you give me a chance
You could clearly see
That I am a captive
Of your figurative divinity
Not everyone thinks
The way I do
A good thing, I bet
For the world too
But there's one thing I know
I know how to love
I will always give
And I will never shove
This is the man I want to be
You helped me finally see
I owe you everything,
But everything is gone

Don't Lie To Me

I love flowers.
And I also love death.
There's only so far to go
While holding your breath

So take a minute and smell the roses
As the chlorine gas creeps up through
Seeping into all of our noses
Before we know what to do

It's nothing to be ashamed about
This fascination with dying
We all just take a different route
And being honest is better than lying

Drugs Don't Dull Pain

The smell of pussy lingers long after you leave
As I sink into sweet opiatic bliss
You left your stained panties
Laying on my nightstand

I hear the typewriter click in the kitchen
And I know you're not gone
Just writing another line
To just one more song

Stumbling I work my way towards you
Help me, I cry
I'm falling away, I think I must die
You cradle me now, forever

I feel stomach contents in my throat
As you drag me out
Nothing feels good anymore
And no one can help

It's cold outside is all I think
I hear a siren wailing
They're coming for me I know
But they'll never make it in time

It's Me... I'm The Artist

A fucking burst of inspiration
Is surging through my veins
The best drug I've ever smoked
Is pure creativity

I can't help that you are vain
I don't know how to help you
My hands are clenched in fists of rage
But I'm happy nonetheless

I'm off-the-wall and entirely
Confused with the mediocrity
No real artists anymore
Just pimps and their prized whore

But I have words I truly believe
That will never be any use to me
Take them use them as you wish
Just remember who the artist is

Tomorrow Is A New Day

Tomorrow I leave
I know this is wrong
But there's nothing left
Of this old song

I need to find new
New places and things
Fresh beginnings
And no diamond rings

The heart will lead
It always has
And plants the seed
That crosses paths

My goal is west
Or possibly north
Never knowing what
Life will bring forth

But fear not friends
My new home is grand
It's a place without ends
A place for me to stand

I'll be tall, with respect and love
No one will again belittle me
And I will always thank the man above
For showing me what I couldn't see

Escalation of Force

I am at peace
I need to rest
The battle has started
For this young vet

You'll soon come to find
That I have been nice
I have been kind
But it came with a price

The price was devotion
Which has been thrown away
With one little notion
Of things gone astray

But niceties are now gone
The happiness is past
It's a brand new dawn
And only one of us shall last

With this new day
There's only one thing to do
And nothing to say

Pretty Pretty Girl

Pretty pretty girl you know how it is
I'll give you my hand, you give me a kiss

Pretty pretty girl I know you know
You see in my heart and guide me slow

Pretty pretty girl won't you walk with me
Teach me how I'm supposed to be

Pretty pretty girl now don't be shy
You'll give me your hand and I'll wonder why

Neverending Story Of My Life

I had no money, nothing to give
I had no reason, none to live
You gave me a chance
You let me speak
I made you laugh
All tongue-in-cheek

This soon escalated
To something more
God closed a window
And opened a door

Now here I sit
Right next to you
A million miles away
But closer too

You're in my head
And throughout my heart
Always thinking of me
When we're apart

Now all I ask is to understand
All I can give, is to hold your hand
If that's all you need then you're in luck
I'll be yours, I won't run amok
