Drunken Stupor On The Rocks
I awake in a dream
like technicolor and hazy smoke
like fucking a velvet couch
and the water's rising
laid back on burning rocks
and electrifying flow of the river
I laugh as I drown a child
helpless and trapped
but not screaming
not moving
not anymore
I rise to stand
my body moves in shifts of five
repeating the action
again and again as I stumble
dreadlocks writhing in delirium
the vodka's hot now
the sun distilling it
to the sharp bite of rubbing alcohol
the burn suits me more now
and I dunk my hair into the...

Insomnia
i can taste
you on my tongue
my memories smell
just like cum
and now oh christ
what have i done
its midnight now
just let me fall
asleep
i dumbed my mouth
cant hardly speak
my livers numb
my heart is weak
because of you
i cannot cope
ive crushed your dreams
and killed my hope
oh fuck i swear
to heathen gods
you tortured soul
im haunted now
its 3 am
and i cant get to sleep
the night is thick and hot
fuck if im delirious
but im sure
i know that voice
now its 6

Hate
i cant stand you
i dont want to
i loath you with the depravity
of a thousand
tortured
screaming souls
my hatred is a piercing
shrieking feeling
of spray paint
and rusted nails
because the only way
that i can stand not killing you
is by imagining gouging your crying eyes out
(with my thumbs)
then ripping your head off
and punting it into the river
all i can hear
in your suburban voice
is pent-up aggression
and sexual repression
now denial would be cute
(in a sad way)
but i cant stand ...

Against A Wall
the wall's cracked
and skies are black
and i can't think
because my head's
in a sinkhole
body's in the freezer
it feels like a blizzard
in the middle of winter
and gunshots blast
when life sells fast
nothing lasts
now i'm up against a wall
i can't see, i can't breathe
and eating's out
i just leave
my home is broken
but i don't complain
i've seen communities
gated and shut
and i'd lose my mind
my heart would rather be cut and blind
so i stay and rot
and pray for rain
and change and pain
or...

Heart of Black Tar
as he stands
on top of a building
that overlooks
the alley below
he ponders the facts
of his life
and it's meaning
but then he thinks
"fuck it"
'cause god only knows
then he realizes the mistakes, the pain
so he shoots up numbness in his veins
and it spikes sleep into his brain
for liquid dreams and sex addiction
his mind and soul
slaves to prescription
and staring through the coke-stained mirror
he licks his face
and passes out
now standing on this crossroads rooftop
he wants to take the jump

Blood, Guts, and Petrichor
i'm sick in the head
i know this...
but when i see her down the
street
all that i can smell is
meat
and blood and guts and
petrichor
and pavements splashed with
brains and gore
but i control myself
barely...
then she walks down the empty
road
and by that time her pace has
slowed
now i'm not one to refute god's
plan
but, for now, i must,
and can
"Suit yourself, but the hunger's growing,"
it says...
i grasp my head when she comes to a
stop
then raise my knife...

Broken Girl
when i look
into her eyes
she hesitates
and looks away
but she seems wrong
and fucking cracked
in a sexy
kind of way
she acts so innocent
Catholic and good
but drops to her knees
just when she should
she plays hard to get
and teases my lust
but i shall forebear this
if i must
when she grabs my hair
and pulls me in
her back's arched up
as i drown in sin
her breasts they heave
her hips they press
against my face
as i do the rest
then when i'm done
she turns around
and pulls my...

2:53 A.M.
there's blood on the mirror
oh fuck my life
i shouldn't have done it
i know, i know
but she wouldn't shut up
and now there's a mess
of blood and marrow
a mass of hair,flesh, and brain
and i can hardly see
as i try to remember
how this situation is supposed to go
i have the body in the tub
and i turn on the water
son of a bitch!
that was crazy
i think it would just be best
to dispose of the hatchet
alright, now i turn the water off
clean up the mess
and look at the time...
2:53 A.M.
i'll get some sleep,...

Meta-Physical Treason
let me pose a few conundrums
for your brain to obsess over
and when we are done
i'll resurrect your wasted time
and give you a new
philosophy:
i wonder if a dream has a particular taste to it
i wonder if your soul can scream
and would you mind
would you even care
if i ripped the heredity
from your genes?
i wonder
sometimes
if we could share
a mushroom bath
of rainbows and hallucinations
before lightning comes
and crashes into the room
unwanted and abandoned
by the sky who created it in the first place...

A Memory
it's cold in my apartment
and the room
it smells of gin
and last night's food
and i can still remember
when i raped you
it started off so sweetly
cause you didn't make a sound
and then you woke up
and you struggled
then i had to choke you
but after i had finished off
i noticed you were
cold and dead
i realized it then
that i had killed you
and early in the morning

Florentine Gutter/Goodbye
.. and when I'm down in hell
my flesh is rotted...
will you please grant my boon
and do me a favor
(cause i can no longer say
goodbye)
will you still drink my blood
and eat my baby
in a Florentine gutter
(but i can no longer say
goodbye)
just suffocate me
watch me drown
decapitation's
a way out
my lungs are deflated
I'm burning out
(still i can no longer say
goodbye)
i see the knife
it's headed for me
cheated death
too many times
you drank my blood
and ate my babies
now i can go die ...
my flesh is rotted...
will you please grant my boon
and do me a favor
(cause i can no longer say
goodbye)
will you still drink my blood
and eat my baby
in a Florentine gutter
(but i can no longer say
goodbye)
just suffocate me
watch me drown
decapitation's
a way out
my lungs are deflated
I'm burning out
(still i can no longer say
goodbye)
i see the knife
it's headed for me
cheated death
too many times
you drank my blood
and ate my babies
now i can go die ...

you
i want to cry
cause it's so sad
but i'm numb
so i'm just mad
my dreams were crushed
they're all i've had
my mind is broke
my will is bad
and so i walk
across the land
forging a pulsing
hate-filled plan
thus I'm here
to kill you now
the "why" is easy
what's hard is "how"
but I'll find out
I'll look around
i want to see red
and hear that screaming sound
the job's now done
my plan fulfilled
I'll rest so sweetly
cause you've been killed
and now ,you see
I'm not that...
cause it's so sad
but i'm numb
so i'm just mad
my dreams were crushed
