Paranoid Inspired By Ozzy Tribute
I walked in and was blindsided,
your racing pulse I had to steal.
With the first glance fate decided,
I walked in and was blindsided.
Crazy train of thoughts misguided
this love to me seemed so unreal.
I walked in and was blindsided,
your racing pulse I had to steal.

Putin, the Paranoid Dictator
Surrounded by his weapons
they’re all that he has left
Of happiness and love
his rotting soul is long bereft
Obsessed with dreams of grandeur
a kingdom in his reach
He hides inside a fortress
fearing always of a breach
Will his food be poisoned?
Will it be his drink?
The paranoid dictator lives
each moment on the brink

Gothenburg Penitentiary
Gothenburg Penitentiary, the hardest of the hardest/
The concrete jungle, where everyone is heartless/
Gothenburg Penitentiary, the show now mercy/
So, you gotta learn to swim in murky waters/
Gothenburg Penitentiary, my heart just sunk/
The next fifteen years of my life I'll be sleeping on a bunk/
With a celly who's a mess and a cell that smells of funk/
The

Doing Time
Doing Time is not easy but it's something that I gotta do/
Survival of the fittest so this how I gotta move/
I'm not the strongest so I got a lot to lose/
Pound for pound round for round I got a lot to prove/
Every night I go to sleep paranoid and schizophrenic/
In my prison cell feeling like

Paranoid
Paranoid thoughts, like shadows they creep.
As your eyes flicker wildly in this REM sleep.
The clock ticks so loudly, each hour it chimes.
As my mind runs away, in a world out of time.
A voice starts to echo, as I lie in this bed.
Whilst this voice whispers softly, puts a doubt in my head.
As your mind starts

Paranoid Nights
Waves of nausea crash against my splintering ribcage,
stomach churning, bile burning through esophageal walls.
Choking on paranoia-fueled delirium,
self-inflicted wounds etched upon a fragile psyche,
all while I try to hold on to some semblance of my humanity.
Push and pull, breaking down walls,
then building them back up, reinforced.
Love never came easy in delusion-filled memories,
always hovering at the cusp

Paranoid
O August, I feel subtle scents
of dandelion days melting,
like spring falls of delirious diamonds,
while memories of sentimental sapphires
flow amidst clouds of colorblind cruelty,
revealing how butterflies
from the temple of fragmented armors
abandoned my spirit
at the altar of Ares~
adorned with crushed wings.
Tonight, as the sky mirrors rivulets
rippling with remnants of my
beloved’s violet garden,
where wisterias withered away
into winds of

Burdened By What Has Been
Each moment
The addition of a trillion bits of information
Like compounding interest
On the rest of eternity

Paranoid Eyes
("Untitled", aka "The Crawling Eye", 2018, original encaustic)
Paranoid Eyes
We live in the old part of town
Where the walls have ears
And the dark, eyes
We have learned to watch
What we say and do
Until mere husks remain
Of former selves
But we are proud
To live in such a world
Where inside is out
And out knows what is in
Where age-old atavistic

Paranoid
Is it me? Am I paranoid?
Take to me, fill my void
Listen, like a humanoid
Run to me, fast as an asteroid
Worries, avoid
Your love, steroid
Stress, devoid
Your love, opioid

Paranoid
Reality - what it's really like, save paranoid
I'll attempt explaining, why I won't make eye contact
can't look you in thee eye, I'd rather be in a void
some take this as being shy, why complain this or that
I trust no one, I judge no one
Direct questions O' I do shun
eccentric, nah! Just, going it alone
avoid catastrophic

Paranoid Passion
There is always a temptation to allow passion to become so close-
So I see any efforts to help as sabotage.
None of them think my passions make any sense.
Maybe that’s because I am trying to grasp at too many sparks.
Maybe I am scared that all my efforts can be undone by one

Deeper Into Darkness
We have become paranoid
Lost our capabilities to care and think
Conspiracy theories abound
Every time we blink.
We don’t trust, we don’t believe
And sadly
Deeper into darkness our souls do sink.
