Story From The Bottle

Story From The Bottle

Power of epic proportions
Created by my devious brain
When I locate my purpose
I explode without refrain

No pre-thought or planning
Just straight forward zeal
When the ignition is sparked
I'll go in for the kill.

Down in the abyss
I'm still heading deeper
I'd open my arms
Alas, no time to greet you

Right hands on the helm
Both feet on the throttle
Left hands gotta grip
'Round the Jim Beam bottle

Mass internal combustion
5.7 cubes bringing the shit
Bludgeon stick in the back
Proficiently scoring a crit

What my pretence is lacking
I more than make up in ardor
Inability to be vanquished
I will never be your martyr

The Price

The Price

My love for you
Solid from the start
I still meant it
Til the day you made us part
All I ever wanted was your love
Unconditionally lost
When push came to shove
Lost was I
In the maze that you built
I won't suffer
I have no guilt
I see you every time
In the eyes of Autumn
I feel you everywhere
As I scrape the bottom
I find myself now
As the seasons change
Alone-awkward
Somewhat strange
Now I stand tall
No longer in the dark
My heart scarred
Where you left your mark
I hope you are happy
And forever content
In her broken home
High is the price of rent

My Wall

My Wall

I remember past days of happiness
Seems so long ago, I must confess
Here, behind the wall I had to build
I am safe from the pain
Bottled-up emotions, I tend to wield
Then came you, but from where?
Why are you so nice to me?
Why do you care?
I grow more curious with each of our talks
Soon, I find you helping me
As we remove some of the blocks
The wall gets lower
And I feel a bit vulnerable
Emotions are growing in me
And the conditions seem favorable
Together, maybe some day
We will topple my wall
Only with your help, will I see it fall
I don't know how to act or what to say
I just want to be with you
And forget my wall today

Hi

Hi

There she is again
In her heels & tight sweater
My stomach drops
I don't know how to meet her
She is so beautiful, sexy
And so much more
I am frozen
As she glides across the floor
She turns to look
As I turn away shy
I see my feet
Instead of her big blue eyes
I look up and smile
But she's walking away
If I am to meet her
It's my heart I must obey
I walk faster than her
And start to draw near
My chest pounds
I try to ignore the fear
Gonna give her my best line
'Cuz you know i have to try
I want to meet her so bad
So I just say "Hi"

Fuzziness

Fuzziness

I am consumed by a feeling
that just seems to grow
It appeared so suddenly
It liquefied & started to flow
I feel it eat at my innards
And alter my thoughts
It is so peaceful
As the negativity rots
Twice as big now
And I am impressed
The feeling has changed
And is now fuzziness
It feels so warm
As I peel back a smile
Fuzziness in my veins
With virus-like style
Ideas are mutated
As the fuzz hits my brain
Resting in my mother-board
It drives my body's frame
My eyes open wider
As I watch the view
Unexpected reality
The fuzziness spread to you
I walk over to you
And hold out my hand
Yours in mine, we stand
Color replaces grey
All across the land
We hold each other tightly
And notice others in embrace
The world is so much nicer
With fuzziness all threw the place

The Distance

The Distance

I hear her in the distance
Yet cannot see her face
She was here a few hours ago
But vanished without a trace
I remember us talking
About was, when & where
It was the liquor-
Not me, talking
When I told her I didn't care
Soon as I said the words
She was up & on the run
If only I could fix it
To undo what had been done
It's the process of elimination
That's tearing me apart
With one fell swoop
Gone is my lover & my heart
Loneliness is a brutal way of being
Sadness & depression light the way
Self-destruction lurks in my house
I don't wish it to stay
I hear her in the distance
Yet don't seem to give a shit
I barely remember her leaving
Right after she threw a fit
What was that she said?
What was my reply?
Take another drink
Release a thoughtful sigh

Time To Think

TIME TO THINK

I have a lot of time spent
with the blast hood on my head
alone with my thoughts
most of which are
better left unsaid
I have contemplated life
and have retraced many steps
many hours have gone by
immersed in these depths
Of all the things I think about
you seem to show up most
together we have walked the beach
after driving Blue up the coast
wading in the tide
of some great ocean far away
have sat watching the sun
plunge deeper towards the bay
reality comes for me
as I blast the metal clean
all the dust I stir up
becomes the newest scene
threw the haze I reach out
and can barely grab a view
I am pleasantly surprised
to see that it is you
"where are we off to this time?"
I ask as if you know
in my head we are really good at
traveling to and fro
Off to some new adventure
or maybe to relive the past
my mind tends to wander
and the scenery changes fast
one moment we are swimming
and the next we are laying in the bed
I lose my self inside you
as you get lost inside my head
I am thankful that I have you
and grateful that your true
I don't know if I deserve you
I'm just glad you said "I Do"!

Drinking Less

Drinking Less

Try to figure
Dreading change
Always different
Kinda strange
Loving one
Not another
Friends are family
Unrelated brother
Don't test me
Cause I know
We need something
Maybe overthrow
Drinking less
Eating more
Future present
What's in store?
Break your back
Crack my knuckle
As you cry
I have to chuckle

Toxic Shame

Toxic Shame

Who is to blame?
Must be you again
Guess I will never win
You are to blame
With your toxic shame
I try to stay away
I will refuse to play
I’ve got no circle to complete
Got no dead horses to beat
You’ve got no business here
Tread lightly if you dare
For now, I know the game
It is called Toxic Shame
You handed it to me like a birthright
I didn’t put up much of a fight
Just accepted every lie
As my inside started to die
This problem will end with me
My daughters will benefit, you will see
I don’t doubt what you thought was true
Why you subscribed to that ideology
I have no clue
What’s best for you is worst for me
With your blinders on you couldn’t see
Free from blinders I can view
Exactly what the Toxic Shame
Has done to you

Face

“Face”

What’s your core
Soft or hard?
So damn wild your
Life is scared
You drink
With the enemy
A toast
To the dead
Out on Thin ice
You so often tread
No tie
For this guy
With a face-full
Of shit
There is gold in most holes
And a hooter that’s lit
Take a ride in Calypso
The funky green truck
We’ve a date with destiny
So let’s test our luck

Girl At The Table

“Girl At The Table”

Today is the day my fate
Will fall into place
My blood pumps violently
As she struts in her leather and lace
Life deals the cards, I’ve got three kings
Beauty is at the table as the Northern Cardinal sings
Oh strong songbird, come and watch my back
Or the blue jays will enter and force me to attack
My territory has been breached yet there is no threat
I’ll keep my hand, and not break a sweat
The pot is mine, The girl wants to get high
Deal me out fellas, I’ve got to fly
Enjoyment so fresh, sweet fire burns my brain
I melt with her juices and experience the pain
I smell your lust and greet your pair
I’m addicted to your scent, and don’t know if you care
Separated by necessity , urgently takes me to my cage
Emotions hurt when they come out
Meaningful orgasms or violent rage
Let me clean your breast feather
And check out your nest
Bust out the books and give me a test

Morning Glory-The Whole World is Watching

Morning Glory

The Whole World is Watching

(with lyrics)

I made this video with randomly available pictures off the internet using a freeware movie maker

A Word Named War

A Word Named War


A word named war
Dances in the wind
Somebodies idea will cost
Many lives to defend
Battle lines will form
As we die from
Our double edged sword
Hypocrisy and propaganda rule
A nation at peace
So quickly gets bored
This machine called war rises
As media makes it a star
The technology grows and
Thousands die from afar
When the buttons been pushed
And we fry from the blast
No winner will be crowned
It's too late
Our lives have past

Battle-Cry (short)

Battle-Cry


Battle cry, men will die
Gods name is dead, moneys there instead
Cruelty's a sport in Uncle Sam's court
Thor's taking on Zeus
Medusa's getting stoned
J.Edgar Hoovers been calling
Yet no ones answering the phone

Time

Time


Don’t tell me
You’ve heard it before
‘Cause you haven’t heard my side
Don’t tell me
You’ve seen it before
You haven’t even looked
Into my eyes
As you thrive on hatred
My flesh will be scarred
You brew your
Plastic factories
As I frame in your tomb
As you breed like mad
I see overpopulation
Dark clouds of gloom
Don’t tell me
You know what I mean
You’ve not even a clue
The thought that we
Tread on borrowed time
Is so painfully true

Thoughts (short)

Thoughts


Cruise boats dump shit in the seas
There is acid rain in the breeze
Nuclear waste buried in the land
Suicide whales beached on the sand
Pesticides and chemicals
In the ground water now
People drop dead,blamed on the mad cow
Woodlands leveled,make way for cars
Enter the drunk as he exits the bar

Lonely Chair

Lonely Chair


Sitting in the lonely chair
Gazing out a sliding glass door
Immobilized in a stupor
My skin dry, and somewhat sore
The dirty plate glass clouds my view
Sun and shade are mixed into one
Chicken noodle soup long past ate
In my cave i hide from the sun
I miss my woman, miss her so much
She's all I can see from this lonely chair
The tree disappears along with the sun and the shade
Instead i see Melody even though she's not there
I see her with a short conservative dress
Eating fresh cherries right from the stems
Her hair hangs long and golden
And her eyes are sparkling like gems
She seems to beckon with outstretched arms
Her lips are moving but the words i cannot hear
The dirty glass buffers the sounds
As i sit in this god forsaken lonely chair
I scream at the glass, "I Love You"
"I love you Melody, can't you hear what i say"?
She is still talking with a tear in her eye
With a wave of her hand she turns away
"Don't leave me Melody, Please not yet"
The words bounce off the glass, as she walks out of view
Why she has left me, it's hard to say
Left in her place is only this mornings dew
Again i see the tree, sun and shade
My beautiful woman is in Joplin, she was never here
It was all in my mind, I'm sorry to admit
Conceived in my brain as i sat in the lonely chair

A View From My Room

A View From My Room


Old digital alarm clock
120 C.D.s full of rock
Dried up magenta colored rose
A basket full of clean clothes
Early Blazer rear seat
Two moccasins on my feet
Feathers from birds that sing
My girlfriends dishes and G-string
Radio receiver, cable TV
An eleven foot pole i cut from a tree
Stacks upon stacks of unopened mail
Four bags of charcoal i found on sale
Cordless drill, circular saw
Misc. handtools, blah, blah, blah

The Red-Bird and the Taurus

The Red-Bird and the Taurus

I view the red-bird
and see it fly
I lick my girl
until my mouth goes dry
I hear the cardinal
call unto it's mate
I need to come
but choose to wait
The bird sings to me
But I do not understand
The woman touches me
with her loving hand
The bird is my messenger
The girl has my heart
When I move on down the road
The bird, girl and I
will have to part

Song of the Redbird

Song of the Redbird


There was a beautiful red-bird perched in a tree
It sang "what cheer, cheer, cheer, cheer"
It seemed to be singing to me
I noticed that it had a black mask
That went all around its beak
I thought how wonderful it would be
if that cardinal could speak
"Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet"
Was the next thing I heard it say
That little bird, with its rich tone really made my day
"Purdy, purdy, purdy, purdy"
Was the last thing I heard it sing
Then the cardinal took to the sky with a flap of each wing
I tried to absorb all of its beauty as it started to fly
I just stood there and watched it disappear into the Ozark sky
That bird made me feel so alive
I hope you know it's true
Maybe you won't believe
Until the Redbird sings its song to you

Bad Taste

“Bad Taste”


Immense civilization
Too much population
Atom bombs explode
Rain forests erode
Extinction of a tribe
All’s quiet with a bribe
Future of Earth is bleak
Ozone layer getting weak
Mankind is on the rise
Our past is our demise
Millions of dollars lost in space
Rivers are poisoned by my race
All of these worries are legit
So many landfills full of shit
Mountains of radio-active waste
All been buried in bad taste

Star

Star


Once she bowed at my alter of love
She did so because it felt right
Needing of the love and understanding
That only i could give
She found a star that night
All bright and shiny
Then she named it
Only she knew the name
Every night she would glance up
And say that name and find her star
It gave her an inner peace
She soon found out her star was falling
She wasn't about to ride it out
So with a quick change of heart
She found a new and improved alter
Give herself too
With a new alter
A new star was soon to follow

She

She


She looks at me with big blue eyes
I want to be alone
But she has me caught up in her trance
She's not that great looking, I tell myself
But there is a huge amount of sexiness blowing off her body
I look into her eyes
Listen to her words
Taste the sweat of her inner thighs
I am hooked for the night
There is little talk
She wants action, not speech
I am her 160 lbs. hampster
I do as I am told, for she is in charge
Soon I am turning black with disgust
I am not myself
I am what she wants me to be
This cannot be happening
I pull away from her sex
As though I am a slug retreating from salt
She flies threw the air, all claws and teeth bare
I am ripped apart and ate on a bed of white rice
Drank with a little dry wine

Smelly Flesh

“Smelly Flesh”


The flesh I smell
Is not my own
It is the flesh of the
Lovers before me
Kneeling at the alter of the king
-King of Mars-
My alter beckons
Can you heed the call?
Come my child
Walk into my world
I can only bring you
If you allow yourself to be brought
Welcome flesh
Tasters choice
Lustful eyes
Mouth and tongue
Meet your new self
Better than the old self
You are what I make you
You are mine

Cold Day In Hell

“Cold Day In Hell”



I wake with cold winter coming in
It brings me down
Makes me grim

Something needs to be done
Put in it’s place
Take hold
Annihilate a race

A twisted feel
A scratch to itch
Gun to the heart
Limp body in a ditch

No love inside
Just a balled-up pit
Columbian neck-tie
The throat is slit

Daylight leaves
Brings on the night
It’s my war
I won’t stop the fight

Pigs getting closer
There is no doubt
Gun to my head
It’s the only way out!

ME

"ME"


My moms on drugs
My dads a cop
My brothers in prison
Where will it stop?

My sister got a divorce
My moms had six
I guess that's one way
For her to get her kicks

My other sister is great
She's really alright
She is in Arkansas
Way outta sight

I am 20 yrs. old
Just this year
Whole life in front of me
Nothing to fear

Holding on to that low-paying job
Keeps me living & feeling
Just like a slob
Got no family
Doesn't seem fair
Just keep going
No time to care

Got a girlfriend
But she's never there
I always wait
I'm always here
Sink all my money
Into my truck
I'm to the point
Where I don't give a fuck

I know there are people
Worse off than me
But I have to wonder...
"How can that be"?

I haven't lived long enough
To know what's up
Everyone figures
I'm still just a pup

This world is a trip
I can't figure it out
I'm a problem child
Without a doubt

A fuck-up for sure
Branded for life
Couldn't get my own
So I stole his wife

Sometimes I feel
I'm loosing this fight
But I'll keep living
Trying to do it right

Used to want a baby
How can that be?
She'd just grow up crazy
Just like me
