Alive and Well
I see no streets of gold
My paper crown ain't getting real
There's a hill above my own
With greener grass
These doors are locked
Not any happier from where I'm at
Still held up by my neighbor
With a better car
I'm living right
But envy another man
His life I've seen from a distance
Pain is a lonely word
Our drinks are no longer sweet
It's used too much in our favorite songs
No longer has any bite
We say awful things
Get by on committing cheap thrills
Self aware to some degree
For where we are
...

Some Years Before
Clad in simple red
Fingers dance upon a board
Enter a glistening dream of alkaline
Hair slick back
Joyful ruse in her voice
She beckons me to come along
I'll never follow you
Because my feet just won't move
I'd rather be in a landslide
Than standing here
It's been so long
Since I've felt lightheaded
Waist deep in something unseen
Little reflection
For a moment I'm frozen
Scared to death on this odyssey
I'll never follow you
Because my feet just won't move
I'd rather be in a landslide
Than...

The devils deed
Weary eyed devil
You trailed back in
Holding me captive
Igniting my sins
He crawled through my eyes
And chewed up my sense
Hes far too skin deep now
Let the sorrow commence
I tried to defeat him
I swear, I once did
But this vigilante
Won my soul in a bid
His words were like black smoke
They choked me to death
He'd peer out his smile
As I took my last breath
But two souls cant inhabit
One living corpse
So he chunked me out sideways
To enter hells course
Oh weary eyed devil
Youre smug...

A clover eyed boy
Those eyes
Are something I can not forget.
Piercing emerald
With a dash of mint.
Just a conversation
With a love that didn't last
Its not something I need
Youre holding me back in the past
Oh you just dont know
Oh how hard-youre pulling at my soul
I thought I was doing ok about it
But I cant move past this
You cant lose what you never had
Oh those clover eyes are making me sad
I just cant let go of you
The light bursting off your tears like dew.
Oh you just dont know
Oh how hard-youre pulling at my soul....
Are something I can not forget.

Oh I dont even know how we got this far
We have been grasping on love
Since the evening we met at the bar.
Our hearts intwined
As you wispered hello
Meeting you was fate
That I already now
But look at our pasts
Both our walls have been crumbling down
We have no defense
I was lost but now im found.
Oh I dont even know how we got this far

Everything began to build back up

The Devil That You Know
Vices are my spice of life, need booze for assistance
Fuck the pain away, I'd rather fuck it into existence
So I kill myself day by day, passive aggressively
And master crafts of backstabbing friends not enemies
No family or friend to me will swim near my anemone
Nor not a fucking one are necessarily necessities
The best of me's been swallowed and digested into grime
I'd be a dime a dozen if my sense inflated over time
But I'm no diamond in the rough or even rough around the edges
So instead of hedging bets best invest inside the hedges
Less...

Simple
I always want now
A better home from a block over
Stress beginning to slow down my heart
I'm not even twenty five
Shoes aren't a day old
And I'm already shopping for another
Taking back my current girl
For a brand new one
It's a riddle I can't unravel
Bumped into a poor man
With new sneakers and a little dog
He sat in a cardboard castle
With a happy grin
Suddenly it occurs to me
That we're all bouncing upon this ball
Buying into worthless things
That mean nothing
It's something I...

Fruit of My Labor (Gone)
Early Monday morning
She accidentally broke my flatscreen
I couldn't even spare a glance
Told her to get lost
She looked on in shock
As I tried taping you back together
My eyebrow looking sinister
I wouldn't forget it
This is my baby
Me and her are forever
You'll always be in second place
This is my first love
I'd stay up with her all night
And I can't stand buying another one
It was predetermined
That dumb girl knocking you over
She wants me for herself
That won't happen
I'll bury you outside...

You'd have to be crazy, to wanna be normal
Elmor shot into the wrong rabbit hole
And I've got post traumatic stress from finding Alice dead
Figured out the riddle of the raven and the writing desk
And the mad hatter reminds me of me
I think this ink was laced 50/50 with mercury
I'm an astronaut floating in cyberspace
Decipher the enigma and you'll find the mania of an alian
It seems my pen is the demon's safest haven
I guess I'm a ventriloquist if he's the string puppet I use to vent
Interpret my thoughts for the audience
And odds are you can relate cause they're contaminated with hatred...

Freedom and how to Avoid it.
He was immaculately conceived
a gaudy dress with a headful of garbage and leaves
Make way for the asphalt filling the spaces between you and me
Soaking up sundrops while I wait to dry up and fizz right out, finally.
A locust storm is approaching the horizon line, and today they're hungry for boy meat.
Flesh is picked and the demons grin underneath my skin,
But these things have failed to hurt me for quite some time.
How come it took 20 years for me to want to be alive?
A story of true passion becomes a pit of emptiness hanging on me.
Something needs to get...

This is a fine place
Couldn't have picked a better spot
Bury them both along here
Two coins apiece
Across the eyes boy
It's a token for wherever they go
My mother believed in it
Guess I do too
Take this to heart
A deadman can't bargain with you
Say anything to be forgiven
No light after this
Differences be along
This country's hard on people
Don't go chasing what you can't carry
You just might find it
Couldn't have picked a better spot
Bury them both along here
Two coins apiece
Across the eyes boy
It's a token for wherever they go
My mother believed in it
Guess I do too
Take this to heart
A deadman can't bargain with you
Say anything to be forgiven
No light after this
Differences be along
This country's hard on people
Don't go chasing what you can't carry

Dust and Echoes
Sun's going down
Peeking behind the canyon
Shadows climbing and setting out
To swallow me whole
Think I've had my fill
Like a hungry dog feeding on scraps
Can't weather this anymore
About ready to go
I'll sit right here
Let the world pass me by
Maybe see a full moon coming up
The man is dead
My conscious wiped clean
Can't say I'm happy to see the light
It's been so long
Since I done the right thing
They say a man can't change himself
Repeating old routines
So set in my ways ...
Peeking behind the canyon
Shadows climbing and setting out
To swallow me whole
Think I've had my fill
Like a hungry dog feeding on scraps
Can't weather this anymore
About ready to go
I'll sit right here
Let the world pass me by
Maybe see a full moon coming up
The man is dead
My conscious wiped clean
Can't say I'm happy to see the light
It's been so long
Since I done the right thing
They say a man can't change himself
Repeating old routines
