Buffalo Highway

I'm goin' down, this lonesome highway. 
Where it's takin' me isn't sittin' quite right. 
I think I'm lost and the snow's gonna get me, 
As far as I can see it all lies in front of me. 

But one day I'm gonna get mine baby, 
one day I'm gonna get mine. 
One day I'm gonna get mine baby...in good time. 

I'm goin' slowly through this dark region. 
It's hard not to reflect on all of my sin. 
It's gettin' cold I need you to hold me, 
This time and place is not where I should be... 

But one day I'm gonna get mine baby, 
one day I'm gonna get mine. 
One day I'm gonna get mine baby...in good time. 

If I turn around I'll be facin' what I have seen. 
Seein' it twice might make me go insane. 
I'm gettin close I can see it standin' in my way
At the days end it's another place I can not stay

(if you read them right, everyone will relate)

Raisons

I'm forever thankful for my left hand 
I am pleased to be the sad inside the man... 
Disipline and misery 
Vaceline makes sex easy. 
Thinner than a paper plate, 
I'm thankful for this angst and hate. 
Feverish and incolence, 
I've an itch with innocence. 
Stuffing faces-vulger thoughts, 
of happy days and blood shot eyes. 
I'm forever thankful for my left hand. 
Guns arent for me, 
sissors instead, 
Crack in pile, now time for bed. 
I'm a raison in the son, 
You're my serpant with scales that run. 
Pages that turn make fantacy's 
I'm as small as the light on me. 
I'm as free as a beast can be. 
There's nothing like the useless me. 
Unless this road goes anyother way, 
I'll take a chance and forget today. 
Like a mother holds her young, 
I hold my breath each time I'm done. 
I'm forever thankful for my left hand. 
It made me the man that I pathetically am

Spending Time With Spider Wbs

Speaking to the spider webs.

I drink to them all night long.

And they capture all that I say,

So if you ever come along,

You can hear where I have gone.

 

It's a long way back home

It's a long way from where I've been

 

I get there and see spider webs.

They say I'm without a home.

I'm shuned by the ones I loved,

and stuck with nothing to do

In a place where I don't belong.

 

It's a long way back home

Where I thought I was from

Spending time with spiderwebs

Is the only thing like home

How To Sit With Me

It's hard to breathe when you can't feel your feet 

It's easy to see when you're as close to it as me 

When your lungs are filled with water, 

and you start breakin' down, 

Then you can come talk to me 

That's when you can talk to me 

But until your skin begins to burn, 

and your heart begins to yern, 

just turn around, just turn around 

Reach deep inside until you feel that pain in your gut 

Give it a twist and try to walk a line as your mind's in a rut 

Try to smile as someone passes you bye. 

If you can say you're fine without breakin' down, 

Then you can come talk to me 

That's when it's fine by me 

But until your skin begins to burn, 

and your heart begins to yern, 

When your left beggin for more 

and you're breakin' down and feelin' ground.... 

Don't even talk to me 

Don't you dare acknowledge me 

Don't you sit next to me 

Until you're as weak as you can be

Holly Water

Sweat 


Feel her breath,

Be the seed.

Taste the beads of sweat running down her chest.

Feel her breath,

Dampining the side of your neck.

Taste the bittersweet conviction as she pretends this day is plain

Sorrow, so sorry

I'm to beaten to  worry.

Sorrow, so sorry

I can't touch you my virgin Marry.

Look at her eyes.

Your reflection deep inside those forever brown eyes.

Why are you afraid, those eyes?

What've you done to those eyes?

Sorrow, so sorry

To worn out to worry.

Sorrow, so sorry

Goodbye my virgin Marry.
