Red Telephone BoothAn old gaunt lady
With feeble steps
Walked to the red telephone booth
On the roadside pavement
Every day she dialed a number
And spoke inaudibly into the receiver
As tears streamed down her crinkly face
This continued for an hour
Until...

Live, Die, repeatLive, die, repeat!
Live, die, repeat!
Live, die, repeat!
Listen to these words from me,
Bitter,
not sweet.
Live,
Die,
Repeat!
In the realms of my world,
it's live,
die,

Especially at the end,
where I hear a final...

Shadows and Truths
On the noisy streets of a hurried world,
Labels are thrown, like in a card game unfurled.
A sad smile, or a tear, are signs of danger near,
“You're anxious!”, “You're depressed!”, sharp voices we hear.

BlackbodyI wish not to see another sunrise.
I wish not to wake another day.

and leaves its victims on their knees in fog.
The weaker mind feels the affliction most;
next, those with an affinity for grog.
Some say a brain worm fled the campaign...

Cough RemediesPsychological means are not enough
when you have a persistent cough.
If you try to will it to stop,

She's SickDon't worry child
But worry you do
Don't hurry child
What's through is through
Don't cry child
For what you once knew
She's sick, she's sick,
She's sick of you
She's sick, she's sick,
But it's no flu
She's sick, she's sick,
She's sick of you
She's...

let the aches and pains consume me
slid into the misery with gusto
laid away the day in a recliner
sometimes alternating to the couch

feeling sorry...
