The dog went into a seizure started shaking like it had Saint Vitis. Nine days and twenty two hundred dollars later came home from the animal hospital, a dog that looked and acted as if it had a lobotomy. Know when to kiss your pets goodbye, cause the Veterinarian you rush it to, certainly is not gonna tell you. The animal is better off...

Better off dead I don’t want to feel the pain anymore Better off dead I don’t want to feel anymore Lay me down, let me rot to the ground Let me sleep unaware of anything Shoot me up with the drugs to make me sleep a hundred years Not knowing anyone No pain can come to me anymore...

Better Off
Was Samoa better off without The missionaries coming to save us Oh enslave us to leave our roots To submit to their god Because we were savages That ate humans But didn't Europeans eat humans too Yet we have mixed their infected bloodline with our customs and Still call it Fa'a Samoa Or the Samoan Way I didn't know that Samoans came from the Caucus...

Don’t wanna sit up Don’t wanna lie down Don’t wanna play Don’t wanna work Don’t wanna create Don’t wanna be idle. Don’t wanna sing Don’t wanna dance Don’t wanna talk Don’t wanna listen Don’t wanna know Don’t wanna think Don’t wanna lie Don’t wanna die Don’t wanna live Don’t wanna cry Don’t want to be enthused, enlightened or moved. Don’t wanna be left alone, Don’t want company. Can’t take this state...

I Am Better Off Alone
Why do I keep letting you in?. When all you do is tell me beautiful lies. Sell me dreams that will never be. Make promises that you will never keep. I feel a pain that takes my breathe away. Tears that roll down my cheeks. Deep wounds and bleeding scars. You threw me away once again....

Would I be better off dead I can't live this way any more Thoughts keep rushing through my mind This is something I can't ignore Would I be better off dead All I have done is fail My madness keeps me sane And my body is so frail Would I be better off dead I feel am going insane My heart is full of sadness My...

When I'm with one of you, I just can't have one without the other. I would love to laugh and have fun together. But then I see, that maybe You two are better off without me. Because I hear that when I'm not there, You agree on most things and get along. Having fun, like as if you don't really care About...

Better Off Dead
Would I be better off dead? I can't live this way anymore Thoughts are rushing through my head This void consumes me to the core Would I be better off dead? Am I a burdensome failure? Madness tears at my weary head Will I see the light? I'm not sure Would I be better off dead? I'm losing grip on sanity God, help you look...

Better Off a Cowboy, Part Ii
..But despite his words, Dylan had the skills, made friends with the hands, kept up on his bills, and his college learning helped with the books, squeezed out extra dollars, didn’t even cook! And as he put down deep roots more and more, made friends with the folk he used to deplore, with a dangerous though his mind did toy, maybe it...

Better Off a Cowboy, Part I
My son’s name is Dylan, was country raised in the hills of Wyoming where cattle graze, helped on the ranch, but never felt fulfilled, hated his hometown as teens often will. But he ‘did his time’ until graduation, went to college clear across the nation, said by the best companies he’d be employed, that he’d die rather than be a cowboy. Now obviously...

Better Off Without You. I’ve been hearing rumors. These things that you’ve been saying. A tragedy a travesty these games that you are playing. My heart was set on moving on my feet were moving fast. Then, here you come again and dredging up the past. I know it wasn’t long ago it seemed I lost my way. Still it’s not a reason to say...
