BILLY BOB:
This is ANDERSON WALKINHSHOES... 
Chorus:
Ooh...ooh....new life, new soul. 
Ooh... Ooh... Life on a good road.

It wasn’t that I’d done you wrong
I'd welcomed you into my heart’s home
I'd cherished you
and I had fed you 
I'd protected you
I had let you dream your dreams
in comfort
in safety
and I had loved you:
You were...

What beliefs within that do you define
the adversary's lies or Gods Truth divine
like a child absorbed what you've been taught
have you examined the things that are thought

In the stronghold of your heart and mind

The wolves race through the woods...
A melancholic night breathing...
The moon weeping its elegant light...
 As I drown in the lake of uncertainty...

A prodigious night...
Procreating melancholy...
A deceiver at command...
Portraying images of the divine...

The nature decaying to...

In the night's chilling air a phantom figure, drags itself from
The watery edge of the river bank, emerging, rising upward
From beneath the moonlight's illumination, she is free, to walk
The earth's spiritual plain of existence once...

Its simply remarkable, the excitement I feel
When I am blessed with your dominating presence
I am easily drawn to you and immediately lost within you
Traveling glorious heights exploring the depths of many heavens
The sight of you...

The twilight cold turning crimson black
The sounds that deaden on the black cast track

She stands waiting for the home they found

A cry of fear cracks through the dark

The human race speaks of a faraway place called heaven
no doubt there, they’ll breathe easy knowing some still care,
yet to flee from incarnation’s mask, anxious tears so many have to share,
for while we have but...

Words, words that move
and subdue, deaden my forever, never-ending pain
and I write. Words of my ravaged life, reaching
into the silence. I write it all in forms and patterns.
Can words cleanse away death?
In the stillness, I...

We found him lying on the cold
Stainless table inside the morgue
With only a thin piece of cloth
Draped over him, still as moth.
He didn’t come home the night before,
So we just left an unlocked door;
At noon...

One last chance.
Tonight!
Salvation will be found.
Eyes no longer stapled closed.
You've  taught me to stand on my own.
We have built this foundation with our own bare hands.
A creation built upon cement.
Nothing can jeapordize the plans.
We...

Conviction so precise, I launch missiles of truth
Indestructible rhymes, unbreakable and shatterproof
 
Infiltrating your foundation and breaching your walls
Collapse on your composure cause your conscience to fall
 
I can convert your beliefs, cause philosophical treason

Write a poem in between
All the chores and daily life
Perfect Mom, half decent wife

Work and work and dream and dream
Scrub the tub in shower stream
Want to travel here and there

meet my muse Trixie.

Will he be visiting you with more than a lump of coal?


(A dark voice whispers)


Love and loneliness 
Unspoken dreams of romance and broken hearts 

Shall have no reunion 
But instead

Like fettered beasts to the slaughterhouse

The whiskey was bad
the burn and warmth of it
was, if not good, welcome.

Hard day, but aren’t they all,
Hard ground, hard work, hard head,
Hard luck, hard times.

The whiskey would fix that,
ease the edges of the hardness,

Scream louder in the brain,
Work hard to deaden the pain...
The gnawing at the roots...
The scratching noises take me to the lost sanity that will never gain victory again,
Sanity? Victory? I scoff...

Boredom. 
Is it ever truly felt?
Would it be that nothing at all causes it?
Could it be that boredom only comes into existence
when your mind is gone?
For even if things around you seem to bore you,
