I need  to study, cannot go out...
‘BUT THAT PARTY I HEARD ABOUT!’
I’m so behind, I simply must work...

Oh, Empathy,

you divine child of love,

I implore Thee to help us sacrifice our

For I cannot
Skim the clouds atop the wind

The door closed as they each took their turn.
Their turn to say goodbye.
Their turn to say prayers.
While he lay in the bed, near death.

She was asked to speak at his funeral.

patience exceeding the lost madness,
fighting the reign  -  angry insanity.
vying for control, a dichotomy.

losing to the end  -  ancient battles,
evolutionary inevitability,
the loss of knowledge,
the death of understanding is at hand.
we are glad to see it go,
waving goodbye with red-clotted sticks
and true...

I want to know what you ache 
for
And if you dare to dream of 
meeting your heart’s longing
It doesn’t interest me how old 
you are
I want to know if u'll risk 
looking like a fool for love 
For Ur dream, for the adventure 
of being...

The interest rate is fallin
But I ain't talkin money... darlin
What I got in mind is always free

take an interest in my broken heart
recycle the parts and discover what is really there
you may find that what is unwanted may be exactly what you need
there are several doorknobs within the body
there are several knocks of possible anticipation
yet and still the steps that are...

School day memories,
Were Maths and literacy,
Did compound interest, you see,
Before decimal currency,
Had no calculators, 
Used our brains, good for later!...

I'm a little paranoid
Just like an Android
That's about to get hit by an astroid
I woke up dead
There's a snake in my bed
Beads of sweat dripping off my forehead
Time stands still When you feelin ill
I think I'll take one more pill
Crush it up and try not...
