Crawling and sliding through slimy debris
Knees scraped raw on the gritty hanger...

Sleepy, I walked down the senior hallway
The last door on the left seemed miles away
But I was determined to make it
It was 7:26 in the morning, assignment due 7:30
My hands were sweating bullets
Felt as if every senior had their eyes on me
Assignment in hand, I...

Today I started Bellmouth High
Finally growing up I thought with a sigh
First days are always full of stressful nerves
Who grew taller who got curves
This year was no exception to the rule
We weren't babies anymore this was high school.
Everyone gathered in the auditorium as the rising...

You want a nice house
You want a nice car
Big line of credit
Paycheck wont go far

Heated pool with slide
Cell phone with bluetooth device
Laptop TV with webcam
Recliner that goes to Mars
Just put it all on a charge card
Or advance on home equity
I want to be a star

Twenty...

(She hugs her man...)
I'm not gonna let my intuition 
Rule my judgement on this
"Hey baby, I missed you so much.
How was your flight???"
     (He sighs and looks into her eyes...)
I can't lie to this woman
I mean I am her first love

Threat

THE THREAT HAD COME DOZEN OF TIMES
NOW THEY STOOD BEHIND A DO NOT CROSS LINE
IN THE YEARS
THAT NEVER EXPECTED ANOTHER COLUMBINE
SO MANY SIGNALS,SO MANY SIGNS
PSYCHOLOGISTS PISSED AT NOT SEEING THE SIGNS ON TIME
WISHING IT HAD COME BEFORE THERE EYES AS BY SOMETHING DIVINE
EVERYONE SEEMED SO...

don't wanna live in her garden of evil...don't wanna make love in her lies
drawn to darkness
driven to destruction
doomed to death...
drowning in the whirlpool in the middle of her thighs...
she's a lyrical spy with the invisible touch...roses to thorns and  electric chairs into thrones
sitting on...

Cloudy, dark sky, bare trees,  missing their leaves, blowing in the winters cold brisk wind,
White, dirty snow all around, ice covered sidewalks,  no squirrels, no spring time birds, they are all hibernating, deep within their burrows, waiting for some flicker of sunlight, to...

Through the loss he must believe,
In her heart she still cares about me,
To survive rejection, to deal with the pain,
The heart will try to fight it another way,
Is this just ego or a prescription for pain??,
Or is it a drunken distraction to look in the...

Get it through your head
You aren’t the God you made yourself out to be
Parading your skills
Of art, speech and invincibility

You can’t save everyone, my friend
Your dreams can’t be your wall
You’ve been asleep and blind this whole time
And only now does your castle fall…

No.

We’re exactly alike,...

I want a love
that comes once in a lifetime
filled with sleepless nights
and for all the no reason fights
I want warm whispers underneath an ever billowing blanket
where I hunger for his touch
and he is only awaiting me
Passion overwhelming all of our senses
intoxicating
Legs caught up in a...

Fiery pits with thick smoke
I remember it made me choke

I remember the heat that stung my skin
Reflecting the fiery heat and conquered from within

Sinister and choking the balanced shame
Firefighters fighting the monster flame

Burning my heart and searing the blood
Draining my energy basking in the sun

Sweating...

Waiting rooms are the worst by far
Avoiding the stares of others we stare at the floor
So uncomfortable
Others also vulnerable
Some are sweating bullets, others snore...
