Sometimes I realize that the back of my chair is reclined as far as it will go, and the only thing to do next is to sit up straight again.

The Moon Outside My Window- by: unknown forgotten

The moon set down on the ground, level
It's parked outside your bedroom window
It's flourescent lights keep you up all night
You haven't slept in days
And there's no use in running a way

Don't hide
Earth child
Don't hide

This moon, he's a good fellow
He came to meet you on down on the ground level
You lick the windowsill and hide from him
There's no use in staying away
You'll never escape his shining light rays

Don't hide
Earth child
Don't hide

The light's so bright that it burns your eyes
It seeps deep through your eyelids too
He's seen everything you've ever done up there
There's no use in running away
He'll watch as your running away

And he lingers there all day
And he lingers there all day
You haven't slept in days
And he's never going away
Don't hide

Chilly boy
Blue bones
So cold

Stepping Out- by: unknown forgotten

Let me step out
Just for a moment
Let me step out of the lime-light
I'm just going over here
I need to do something alone
Excuse me, can I get through?
I need to leave and be on my own

Let me get out of your way
Just for awhile
Let me get my things out of here
I'm just taking a break
Making some more space for you
Pardon me, can you hold the door? Thanks.
I need to step out and leave you alone

Self-Redemption- by: unknown forgotten

He drank
He drank until his bones were brittle
and his mind no longer functioned
When he woke up his taste buds were burned off
He could smell the vomit
But he couldn't taste it
When had that happened?
The musky scent of stale cigarettes surrounded his whole body
His eyes were crusty and blood shot
and deep circles radiated around his eyes
Had he been crying?
He thristed for a drink of water
Opening his mouth his lips and tongue cracked and split in half
But it was hard to move his bruised body
and at first motion the liquor in his blood rushed back to his brain
Then dropped to his stomach, knocking him over
He lay fully clothed on his bed
The sheets disheveled
Evidence of his agony the night before
Outside his keys were still dangling from the ignition
Of course he could not remember how he got home
He drank until all the world he knew and loved
Swirled around him in a dark brooding mass
Lashing back against him for the first time
Revealing all the flaws of his life he thought he had so cleverly disguised
His memory came back slowly
But most of all he could not stop thinking about how she was not coming back
And he was all alone.

He found a bottle of something next to his bed
So he drank some more.
