Idiosyncrasies

Stranded with lost love, the idiosyncrasies connect, like constellations in galaxies yet to be seen, deprived, deranged, disembodied emotions drift disconcertingly into each others night. Fasting on the fruits of each others use to be labors, the loins of desire become prey to temptations succulent hunger for lustful delicacies. 

Astray they've stayed  prudently, pampering, one another's ego, guided by their  ideology of serendipitous sanctuaries stranded on a wayward island one too many nautical moons away from reality, begast at last the relics of yesteryears imprudent mis happenings dwindle to nothing like the eparescent tropical breeze bombarding the sails of their makeshift raft 

Arise the whys of untold byes on a disenthused daunting cruise, body languages serinate one anothers touch, likening the waves elegantly blending in the hearts of two promiscuous passengers propagating subtle maybes lost in the Seas of what use to be. 

At last the seas of the past disintegrate into the star soaked sky, the waves start to pitter patter against the sandy rock littered shore like two lovers anxst driven heartbeats, shining seamlessly through  freedoms imperfections, as if to give an oman of suggestion that a challenge awaits but love will see them through it.

The beginning of the end

Verse 1- Pick up the present put the past down, with the future in the front it makes sense now, ain't no time for getting past this, put the finger to the trigger with no witneas, if this is life I won't miss it, coming off the press like I'm a misprint, the barrel getting closer I can feel it, there's no heaven only darkness,  
Boom(gunshot)

Chorus- This pain I'm fighting all alone in a battle no one else has known, this is where it ends misleading misleading down to none, I'm bleeding till it's gone open wounds they will remain, fighting back this pain  retreating retreating I slowly go insane, Life is Lost I'm gone, pleading to myself, I'm fading im fading it's all gone 

Verse 2-Falling down to nothing in a quickness, sorry I can't fix this, the shadows they surround me, close minded I'm no victim, no more breathing I'm the only witness, lost myself if you can hear this, put your most into this there's no rearranging, second chances fleeting fading, in a mind that has betrayed me, closed eyes no more breathing closed eyes no more feeling. 

Chorus- This pain I'm fighting all alone in a battle no one else had known, this is where it ends misleading misleading down to none, I'm bleeding till a gone open wounds they will remain, fi0ighting back this pain  retreating retreating I  go insane, Life is Lost I'm gone, pleading for myself, I'm fading im fading life is all but  it's all gone

Verse 3- No more pain, no more feeling, suicide is my only chance at healing, I wish this wasn’t true, boom(gunshot). Close the curtains here’s the darkness, with the mirror in the front it makes sense now, alls I can see is what’s behind me, no more breathing only only darkness, no more breathing only darkness. 

Chorus- This pain I'm fighting all alone in a battl known to none, this is where it ends misleading misleading down to none, I'm bleeding till a gone open wounds they will remain, fi0ighting back this pain  retreating retreating I  go insane, Life is Lost I'm gone, pleading for myself, I'm fading im fading life is all but  it's all gone

Unity

Where a system incarcerated to a belief, that the belief in a thousand is only as good as in one,  standing in unison never folding, divided is a weakness in which we have none, the shade in that valley gets darker the deeper you go, the shadows ain't your nightmares it's just on the road, were not the evil you fear but the reckoning of your reckless cast out of your sight, In the dead of the day we're coming for vegence, the rememberence of souls we will willingly collect the stipulations of propositions we willingly neglect, kneel to the shadows as we remain standing, bow to the worthy the original sons, bow to the mighty the original ones, vengeance know no peace till the until the wicked are done.

Barstool Bandit

He’s a bandit on barstool a writer in possession,
The recreation of life lived hating his self image   A rocks on cause he just got his rocks off, 
That’s all he ever chases, 
A deserter of instincts, 
A man without his values 
His hurt inside is something that will grow, 
It’s his world unless he’s talking feelings,              It’s a full bottle one that can’t be opened, 
His pain inside ferments until its poison,             
It’s what he knows as coping, 
It’s a closed door one that he can’t open, 
It’s a mask worn to hide inside his humor,
His work life really isn’t working, 
His bills paid to a life that ain’t worth living 
It’s his job to keep it all together, 
No matter what the reason,
His value……..seems only paper deep
Cause a rock should never roll 
If that chip he has is wrong
It can turn a boulder on his shoulder to a weight that he cant hold,
Talk about your problems is a truth he’s never lived, 
Getting rid of things he’s wanted since a kid,
The feelings he’s been fighting got him thinking bout and end, 
Substances flowing heavy it is more than just a trend,
Addictions takes his peace he is searching for answer, 
38 and lonely with a family left behind,
Suicidal thoughts played out outside his head, 
Depression isn’t real it’s a story men are told 
Middle aged and staying young,
Until we drop the trend,

You Haunt Me

You’re the tame auspiciously lurking in the still of my nightmares, frivolously evicting the static that haunts my memories, illuminating this frantic mind if even for a second.

Crippling the narrow minded ways in which I’ve become entrapped, a one way road futile in substance and willingness to succeed

The savior of superficiality aligning the monstrosity of a broken roar, promising problems putter to the likening of a minuscule oblivion

Armourless Hearts

Verse 1- Lets take the hearts from our armor and lift off the chains, well dance with the relics and drink cheap champagne, let the arrows speak justice, will play Tim and Jane, with nothing to lose well go ever so fast, the dresses stay white we will leave shame with the past, we’ll blame it all on cynics and all their silly games cause we’re fall ing in 

Chorus- Looooove and the dances of our two left feet and  daddy’s in aisles giving away his baby girl will toast to the critics and sing to the crowd living a love both faithful and proud I’ll give till death in ways that they won’t part and we’ll  all come down to an end with no ending and white picket  fences we’ll be the new beginning …….

Verse 2-Remember when strangers turned to be friends than lovers found foes no Jack and Diane’s only whimsical issues no hearts left to mend the fairy’s have tales no more bitter ends and well fall to our  faces laughing ever so slightly never regretting the days when it rains or walking on shells cause the whole town will know us cause we’re falling

Chorus- Looooove and the dances of left feet and  daddy’s in aisles giving away his baby girl will toast to the critics and sing to the crowd living a love both faithful and proud I’ll give till death in ways that they won’t part and we’ll  all come down to an end with no ending and white picket  fences we’ll be the new beginning….. 

Verse 3- The end draws near as we run to the wild living in silence well talk with out speaking with no bitter ends. Our thoughts will have meaning cause you will know me and I will now you, growing old while staying young our songs will be sung until the course of our ending is running in cause we are falling 

Chorus- Looooove and the dances  of left feet and  daddy’s in aisles giving away his baby girl will toast to the critics and sing to the crowd living a love both faithful and proud I’ll give till death in ways that won’t part and we’ll  all come down to an end with no ending and white picket  fences we’ll be the new beginning

HI’s Touched Down

You watched from a far as worlds crumbled and hi chased downs when living hi came tumbling down. The rights crossed wrong and living straight meant living strong, a weight left dead cast to a burden to build your own life and leave one uncertain. The curtains closed and then they opened, to let in life and save one from hurting, what once was burdened will pay its dues, when pain heals hurt to cure itself with minds confused. 

You stood aside while it devoured a person took a heart and turned a lion a coward, what once was bright became burnt out, to watch a flame go out is far worse pain than to be the flame itself. To watch em come and watch em go can drain a soul and take its shine the watching eyes fade to wander and make a loving heart miss its beauty 

You seen a withered shell of person. A version of what use to be. You watched, you heard, you listened you learned. They lost, they dug deeper and ended up with nothing.

Whiskey Bottle News

Verse 1- He’s doing 60 on the freeway a 180 in life. They say he’s moving to fast so he better act now before bibles turn into blues and the misuse of excuse’s runs away with his sanity. The picture of addiction he’s a cause for profanity He’s labeled a lost cause she ran out and he freaked out now he’s back to square none broken and addicted living his life on the run. 

Chorus-Half my life I spent famous drinking through small  town bars alone 
The other half is written out, talked about and  given to a few I claimed to love 
Strung out on this Whiskey News and drugs that make me think of you 
A little more than I want too
Lighting up this cigarette to reminisce on times we spent
Regrets once renewed given to these hotel bible blues
My dear I do apologize for crimes committed in the night 
Brought to you by this whiskey bottle news 
If I could change it all my dear
I wouldn’t be sitting here with this beer and 
thoughts of you
stuck in these hotel bible blues 

He’s the sinner of saints a picture of last, he’s coming home late he’s moving to fast. The people he loves are telling him no, he’s fighting his demons he’s trying to grow. Right on point he’s running the game, going to fast its starting to show. Perpetual promises he’s willing to hide, slated for judgements is where he resides. A man in the mirror he’s too blind to see, he’d have the strength if he’d only believed.  

Chorus-Half my life I spent famous drinking through these small town bars alone 
The other half is written out, talked about and  given to a few I claimed to love 
Strung out on this Whiskey News and drugs that make me think of you 
A little more than I want too
Lighting up this cigarette to reminisce on times we spent
Regrets of what we new given to these hotel bible blues
My dear I do apologize for crimes committed in the night 
Brought to you by this whiskey bottle news 
If I could change all my dear
I wouldn’t be sitting here drinking this beer and 
stuck in these hotel bible blues

Life’s turned him out so he turned in. Those talking walls seem to mention signs of his depression. Whiskey clouded the sounds of his  so called blues. The abuse stays hidden or so it’s what they say. But, everyone knows it it’s written on his face he can’t be saved homeless living on front street he stands as a testament to the bitterness of this world. Standing in the uncorrected with hotel bible blues the brown bottle media will slowly give him his exit. 

 Versus 1-Half my life I spent famous drinking through these small town bars 
The other half is written out, talked about and  given to a few I claimed to love 
Strung out on this Whiskey News and drugs that make me think of you 
A little more than I want too
Lighting up this cigarette to reminisce on times we spent
Regrets of what we new given to these hotel bible blues
My dear I do apologize for crimes committed in the night 
Brought to you by this whiskey bottle news 
If I could change all my dear
I wouldn’t be here with this beer and 
thoughts of you stuck in these hotel bible blues
