Premium Member Immigrant Song

So you can define a tree 
From a forest if its near
But I cannot make you see
And my words you cannot hear
You destroyed a lilac grove
You’re a beast with no remorse
I don’t share your need to rove
You’re the effect with no cause
Now the Earth is yours forever
Make it flat, cut off the trees
Get your desert back, whatever
It may cost - I pay for this
Doc Tarr and Professor Feather
Offer jobs for naughty boys
Others can enjoy the weather
They may take it as their choice.

Reserata Carcerem Liii

Quoth felon fate t' nosy nature -
savoring sapid strays punctured.
Worn winds for eerie eavesdrop tarr':
"Why oft does thou nurse salty scars?"

Nosy nature hewn smooth visage
'to a sassy smirk - crushed chins' sway.
Ergo writ she ñ plagued papyrus,
torn tallies acumen smothers.

Fate anon her equipage husked 
a" h' nosy nature's lured lotion gulped.
Ergo went h' with th' eerie empress,
t' apt agora leased b' swoon's interest.

Athwart dangled tamed twain 'cross track,
'n' fate hith'to ñ nature's lackey manned.

Old Friend

Goodbye old friend. I'll miss you the most. Don't blame my cold shoulder. My Heart needs to pull away to give you all you need. This stare down has me nervously calm. You asked me to do this deed. Dont forget I was willing to bargain. Wagers were never agreed upon. That's my personal issue . I'm here in front of you. It must seem like I'm on a different planet. Look in my eyes my reality is dark and lonely. I'm damaged goods. The sweetest of fruit that has expired. That's who I am. I'm well aware of my short comings. So all I can do as of now. Is say goodbye old friend. I loved you the most.

Baby On the Way

A new chapter has begun in the book of Tarr.
This page starts a different journey then I'm 
use to. I'm excited to bring my seed into this world
I can't lie I'm scared at times. I'm still just a 
Human. I promise to you my child ill always be 
right by your side. The world is cruel today, I will
guide you through it the best I can. Your my reason
for life. I love you more then myself and your not
here yet. I will be honored to have you call me 
Dad

My Foolish Dad

Gone are the days we
never had,
Lost are you that
makes me sad,
Dad you were't the
best nor bad,
Now i'm all grown
up ,not a lad,
Foolish old man,
This is what make you
glad?
Having three wives at
the time of your death!
Thinking of it still
makes me mad!
You're dead and
gone,my life goes on..
And now the world
know of your senseless
deed.
My foolish dad
forgiven not forgotten
by your son!

Just Another Name

Drawing nothing but a blank 
thought, my canvas remains 
empty, I lost my excitement a 
long the way, my heart dies a 
little more with each passing 
day, I'm just a slave to the 
grind I earn top dollar for 
nothing, no purpose other then 
to drink and smoke away my 
loneliness, it's not that I don't 
want the American dream, I 
simply don't know how to live 
it, every road traveled has 
came to an unexpected dead 
end, I guess the blame is on 
me for being born Richard 
Joseph Tarr jr. This name I 
hope will be passed on might 
just die with me


A Real Nightmare

Waking up from a nightmare suddenly to my surprise 
scanning the room for conscous anwsers back to my nightmare
I thought to myself after a couple minutes pass by I'm out again
this is what's playing in my head there's a family of four
a husband ,wife ,son and daugther the american dream turned
into a nightmare, one day the husband and wife couldn't keep their 
sprak alive so they started cheating and lying to eachother
that was just the start after a few months past by all the 
lies and cheating have finally taken it's toll the husband left work
early to say goodbye to his kids one at a time telling them 
his going away for a little while I love you's were said the husband
went home and unstead of packing he grabbed his father's old rifle 
he called his wife said goodbye then blew his brains all over the 
house those four called a home I wish I could wake up from this 
nightmare but it's a very tragic reality
