Odd Coffee Date

All was going well until she asked for a drink
Then my stomach started to sink
She ask “do you have coffee?”
“no it’s OCD”

Stood up, turned 80 degrees
Counted my steps, ones and threes
Get the scales and measure the grains
In nerves, must not make any stains

Add the milk, not too much
Now the sugar, just a light touch
Click the kettle, watch my watch
If she was Irish, I could always add scotch

Click! Pour the water
63 mm size always matters
A quick stir, a wee bit slower
Too high make it lower

Turn clockwise, go for the door
Marching like in the marine corps
There she is lying in a heap
I was  hours, she’s fast asleep

Woods, Great Place To Hide From Bullies

Beneath the soil lay our roots
Multi-legged insects walking on moss
Working hard to get the fruits
Like lost souls running to the cross
Or hungry new army recruits
With no care of profit or loss

We are the bugs
Commission on narcotic drugs
Watch as we steal the rain
Plants are ruining our brain

We feast together in the swamp
The spiders just want to push us around
They see us and want to stomp
We hide under the ground
I’m here, no fear of the chomp
It’s our other way around

We are the bugs
Commission on narcotic drugs
Watch as we steal the rain
Plants are ruining our brain

One day I hope it will change
The flower tell us one day
Not to far gone to rearrange
Apex of the sun’s way
Move to the balkan mountain range
Rather than be part of the buffet

We are the bugs
Commission on narcotic drugs
Watch as we steal the rain
Plants are ruining our brain

Code of a Gentleman Thief

I am not made of what makes a man what he is
I don't fight, argue or even debate
My talents are lying, cheating and stealing
They are my best qualities, you might say
you might think that queer but it's what makes me

Lying can be an amazing tool in the right hands
Along with innocent or even pathetic looks

Cheating, well that is a hard one
it should only be used on a great evil
maybe a old enemy
a bullie from times for distant
but still remembered

And stealing my personal favorite

well....

It beats working for your bread

Losers

Liquid sun, steaming rain
outcasted huricane, shocking pain
sunny microwave, wet freak
electric flood, mild phsique
raining volts, empty meter
strange hail, solar heater

i have good days and bad days just like you
on your scale it probably bad to worse
ive never been popular never known what to do
its like a weather report for Belfast you know
the clouds in the sky theres either many or few

Liquid sun, steaming rain
outcasted huricane, shocking pain
sunny microwave, wet freak
electric flood, mild phsique
raining volts, empty meter
strange hail, solar heater

Or mybe its like a electric meter
mines always near or empty
ive never had a girlfriend long enough to be a cheater
thou i wouldnt do that type of thing
i feel undeserving, i stay cold, dont deserve a heater

Liquid sun, steaming rain
outcasted huricane, shocking pain
sunny microwave, wet freak
electric flood, mild phsique
raining volts, empty meter
strange hail, solar heater

Anthem (Part One)

In a tunnel under earth, we were given a curse
In this world, we am called reverse
Eager to think and question
These things bring out nothing but aggression

We are one in all and all in one

Sent to the house of the street sweeper
Keep my thoughts from them, ill think deeper
In a subway we find the device
Must show the council word of advice

We are one in all and all in one

Did I Mention She's Green?

Green girl
Green girl

She gathers leaves on a blue and green night
Her emerald eyes make me ignite

Dream catchers gather on her wall
She makes stars none shall fall

Green girl
Green girl

Light candles, red hair reminds me of autumn
Fire red forest she will come

Dream catchers gather on her wall
She makes stars none shall fall

Green girl
Green girl

Change like the seasons
For unknown reasons
Nothing left to give
Baby I would relive

Green girl
Green girl

Stalker Night Surgeon

It's only the dark don't be scared
yes cause when they come ill be prepared
they won't get me not tonight

as a child i was scared of much
spiders, sharks, fishmen, blankets i clutch
wears my torch much keep bright

but these things are real
call me mad maybe surreal
tonight no way, i will fight

grey skin, round black eyes
aliens fly down from the skies
on good please not, not tonight

they move through wall, paralyzed with fear
cut me open, stealing sperm, thats why they're here
...

the eye the eye oh god the eye
i look up they're here, i cry
i give up take me away to the sky

send me back, usual so much pain
tubes and knives. suck my veins
must find some rope they won't hurt me again

Bliss

I don't need to know which way is up or down, why the hell do you think we have elevators?

Anthem (Part Two)

I come to you so humbly
But I have something to show we

What can a sweeper so they
Clean our streets that’s the way

Can’t you see this wonderful delight
This strange device that gives of light 

They thought, we are annoyed
Hear our plea it must be destroyed

Hector

Not for glory, even honors sake
He fights for his family, wife and son at the gate
Greeks attack, they push us back
Hector must now lead the counter-attack

Hector!
Tamer of horses
Holding fast
Prince of troy

Ajax the great, slayer of nine
Duel “the Trojan’s head shall be mine”
To a stand still, day and night
Matched in skill, courage and might

a truce is called
Waves and spray clean our fallen
Zeus weighs our fates
the great sits, staring at the gift
the horse prince’s sword
Why?

Smashing gates, scaling the wall
Apollo on my side, standing tall
Killing patrolus, a child in man’s armor
Dying words, Hectors fate none the better

Hector 
Tamer of horses
Holding fast
Princes of troy

He knows he is doomed, gods have spoken
there stands Achilles, at the gates still of motion
Warrior to the end, challenging the gods
Draw weapons, defying the odds
