Toe Shack

Toe shack 

Put another log
On the near burnt out fire
They tell me to charge more
Then tell me they did the job for a song and a story I've heard before
The Government is prohibiting the bites that is never chewed 
Useless you write your story
Validation goes miscued 
Let us fight any way we can afford
Don't think to bring me a gun
It time the care of the people
Wins and this wars won
Coming to carry me home
when the church bell tolls
In the Serenity  of early morning
The break of silence a raccoon knocking a garbage can over
You wake up eyes blurr 
It feels like a Tuesday
Looking out the window
Silhouettes cast the shimmer of bleached blonde arms cradled by the fire of the beast we call life 
The first break of dawn
Forgotten fears
Head surfing in the clouds of toluene 
Rising from the surface of thousands of fallen chem-trails
Impressions of yesterday 
Now turned to a soup of graffiti in my brain
Into the spotlight
Into flame
Into the dirt
The same knife I kill with
The same knife I eat with
 For me and you
The clouds will clear 
Tearing the Cold out of the heart out of the man of Silver and Gold 
Who Paved the roads of liquid glass shards and gasoline paid for with dime bags 
homeless roads roadless homes
Trained killers licking poison toads
Your boss will be proud
Do the work thats needed done
To impress no one but yourself
Before you have to choose a bullet or a gun
Get rid of all the detours in your head
We are not the thought but the deed
We are just a seed of a god that has left us 
For the all the good parking spaces have been taken
Please Leave a word at the desk
Let it define you
Buried by others
Who proclaim to be the leader of man
Will I ever be truly who I am
