Bite the bullet, 
Hard thing to get....

Uncle Scrooge had lost his wallet
He went mad and chased a pullet
He fell down the glen
Ended in  cow pen
Mr.Scrooge had to bite the bullet...

Putting on my makeup is challenging
I have Tardive Dyskinesia
I'll blot my lipstick while babbling
Putting on my makeup is challenging
While adding my eye shadow balancing
Cover up glided though Synaesthesia
Putting on my makeup is challenging
I have Tardive Dyskinesia...

I have to let it go.
It's not a workingman's truck, too pretty
but it is still a sweet ride.

Pain at the pump,
not getting any richer just older.
I got to bite the bullet,
squeeze into a squeezer.
I see a small hatchback in my future.

My wife puts on that face,
you know the one
"gloom and doom." She mouths silently,
and of course, I can see
she don't mean it....

How beautiful the third heaven must be
An oasis for the tired and thirsty
Jesus has prepared it for you and me
How beautiful the third heaven must be
A resting place where we'll all be free
The lamb bit the bullet for the unworthy
How beautiful the third heaven must be
An oasis for the tired and thirsty

Dust wraps him from his head to toe;
What more? - He's to bite the bullet,
For he's been busted by his foe;
Dust wraps him from his head to toe
And rusts his heart. Is that his flaw?  
He clacks like a little pullet. 
Dust wraps him from his head to toe;
What more? - He's to bite the bullet.

im the one thats got hold of the gun
and you're finally the helpless bird.
flying in v's with the rest of the pack
once you're shot
you'll go down alone.
cause the rest cant see when your hurt.

time to bite the bullet
taste better than you thought?
this is my last time hunting
my first time loading this rifle
you were always a fighter
so your last moments came with a struggle
i finally left in the field what i used to desire....

Exhaust filled alleyways cracked and torn
                            the wide green parks frail and worn
                      The factories spew out toxins day and night
                     winding through the air and blinding my sight
                          Paint me a picture of petals on flowers
                       as childhood mica and the glory was ours

Surrounded by darkness, no light in sight,
  nerves rattled and afraid to move.
Something was wrong, it didn’t feel right,
surrounded by darkness, no light in sight.
Bang!Bit bullet,he had something to prove,
 blood flowed from her mouth that night.
   Nerves rattled and afraid to move.
surrounded by darkness, no light in sight.

Bite The Bullet

Puerile caliber, risks crypt goes I, 
peashooter to Saturday-night-special, 
relatives riddled our home, armed, shot nigh, 
puerile caliber, risks crypt goes I, 
mortared appendages, aimless, I sigh, 
pinched and kissed, triggered red-bled cheeks, et al, 
puerile caliber, risks crypt goes I, 
peashooter to Saturday-night-special.

Through the mist


The buoyant mist that veils the remote past,
Is like a haze before the eyes that blinds,
Blurs to mask the futuristic vision,
Thereby leaving the bright present aghast,
If it so much so obscures the clear sight,
Righteousness one is unable to fight,
Wake up, bite the bullet and make the choice,
Let condense the mist, so as you can rise !

Thy future is held within my comparing eyes
Affixing empathy, but the document remains so
Judgement shall pass as compassion cries
The future is held within my comparing eyes
Forthcoming penance, whether one lives or dies
An arduous conclusion you at once shall know
Thy future is held within my comparing eyes
Affixing empathy, but the document remains so

Bite the bullet brave voyagers of war's wailing screams and cries
which terrify not few fighters that tremble not at new nightmares dreamt in somber tents.
The circus invokes its skull clients to its danse macabre.
Behold the skull's countenance contemplating thy face,
seeking to crown thee some forlorn day.
I will dance upon the fields of thy grave, 
I will smile at your progeny,and take to wife thine daughter; 
And together we shall partake in life's debauchery....
