Yearly Reflection-

As the last day of 1991, I'd like to say it has been a wonderful year and I look forward to 1992. I predict it will be a triumphant year, with many new advances in technology, medicine and the arts. On a more personal note, as I smoke this cuban cigar in my 35th floor high-rise apartment, I step back and take a look at what life really means at the end of the year. A new beginning, a fresh start, a dividing line in all our lives that can lead to better or for worse. But being the head chairman of a major company employing thousands of people, I have come to realize I hate every last employee, every associate, the CEO's, the secretaries, the god forsaken and ignorant business partners. Their like leeches. Blood sucking ticks, that thrive off your very body and soul, sucking every last bit of life out of you, until you are no longer a man, but a ghost, a skeleton from the past. Sometimes I can hardly recognize my own withered face. Stan McAllister took his own life last New Years Eve, by breaking into the company presidents office and slitting his wrists. And to an extent, I am jealous of his courage. He got out. But my feeble self will and cowardice would never allow me to commit such an act. I am much less a man than he was. I just want to sell it all and get a beach house in Bermuda. Escape with my millions and never look back. Buy a small fishing boat and spend my days relaxing in the sun. If you could see me now, you would see the tears running down my face and dripping onto my $900 suit, sipping wine that costs more than your house, all alone on my genuine italian leather couch. It has been a wonderful year, and 1991, I bid you farewell. But now, I have some video cassete tapes to return.

I Am Not Alone- by: unknown forgotten

Like a robot swimming in water
Like a statue climbing out of the sand
The blue shady ocean horizon
The blistering sky of the desert land
They reach across the world
And they grasp hands together
Smooth marble fingers and cold metal plates
Just another part of the great machine
Embracing somewhere in the great divide

It would be absurd if we did not understand both angels and devils, since we invented them.

Our species is the only creative species, and it has only one creative instrument, the individual mind and spirit of a man. Nothing was ever created by two men. There are no good collaborations, whether in music, in art, in poetry, in mathematics, in philosophy. Once the miracle of creation has taken place, the group can build and extend it, but the group never invents anything. The preciousness lies in the lonely mind of man.

-John Steinbeck

Jaunt- by: unknown forgotten

Black coffee
Hats off to you
I'll break your glasses with my shoe

Dirty laundry
I'm talking to you
I'll break your hand with my shoe

Playful mockery
They'll take care of you
I'll break your soul with my heel

I love you really
We're playing with you
I'll break your heart with how I feel

Concrete Tide- by: unknown forgotten

The people are dressed up
and they're up to no good
They're riding that old concrete wave
It's rippling to the future
Like a monsoon of the interstate
Road rash crumbling highways splash
Flowing ever towards downtown
Double yellow lines rolling like massive hills all around
It's a tidal wave into the future
all the people are getting ready for the worst
Their neck ties are their compass's
to ride the tide down south to prosper
The current will glide them easily
in their cars and surfboards alike
They're wearing their nice shoes tonight
They're holding up liqour stores
Hoarding all they can get
and preparing to ride this concrete wave into the future

It's like something I can't really feel.

Where are you going?
No.
Where are you going?
So this is it.
I'll take a cab.
Where are you going?
No.
It's too late to be tomorrow.
There's too much sound to hear the ocean.

Transit- by: unknown forgotten

Walking up the sidewalk
On the raining hill
My shoes were hard
My heels were bruised
The crunch of miniscule pebbles under each step
The slow drops of rain from above
Every heaving breathe controlled and reduced
Step by step walking back home
Every so often looking back for no reason
Not so often looking up off the ground ahead
Climbing the concrete to reach my destination
A little pain in my head makes me uneasy
Stiff shoes pinching my toes
These old pants have a scuff on one knee
No one noticed it
It wouldn't matter anyway

Everybody Knows- by: Leonard Cohen

Everybody knows that the dice are loaded
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody knows that the war is over
Everybody knows the good guys lost
Everybody knows the fight was fixed
The poor stay poor, the rich get rich
That's how it goes
Everybody knows

Everybody knows that the boat is leaking
Everybody knows that the captain lied
Everybody got this broken feeling
Like their father or their dog just died

Everybody talking to their pockets
Everybody wants a box of chocolates
And a long stem rose
Everybody knows

Everybody knows that you love me baby
Everybody knows that you really do
Everybody knows that you've been faithful
Ah give or take a night or two
Everybody knows you've been discreet
But there were so many people you just had to meet
Without your clothes
And everybody knows

Everybody knows, everybody knows
That's how it goes
Everybody knows

Everybody knows, everybody knows
That's how it goes
Everybody knows

And everybody knows that it's now or never
Everybody knows that it's me or you
And everybody knows that you live forever
Ah when you've done a line or two
Everybody knows the deal is rotten
Old Black Joe's still pickin' cotton
For your ribbons and bows
And everybody knows

And everybody knows that the Plague is coming
Everybody knows that it's moving fast
Everybody knows that the naked man and woman
Are just a shining artifact of the past
Everybody knows the scene is dead
But there's gonna be a meter on your bed
That will disclose
What everybody knows

And everybody knows that you're in trouble
Everybody knows what you've been through
From the bloody cross on top of Calvary
To the beach of Malibu
Everybody knows it's coming apart
Take one last look at this Sacred Heart
Before it blows
And everybody knows

Everybody knows, everybody knows
That's how it goes
Everybody knows

Oh everybody knows, everybody knows
That's how it goes
Everybody knows

Everybody knows

Where I Was Born- by: unknown forgotten

There was a dark magic there by the river
In the spot where the moss covers everything upon the banks
The open space where the earthen floor is open and un-treed
Walls of moss laden rocks surround the plot
But they allow a natural narrow entrance to the wicked place
It opens up to reveal a small dark lawn of thick deep moss
Several brooding willow trees hang darkly over it's head
Virtually blocking all sunlight from ever reaching ground
Atop the surrounding boulders small thickets and bushes have made
Thorns and thistles stop anything from climbing atop
And by the river the water runs smooth at a near stop
It's depth is unreachable and infinite right from the shore
It's entire pool so black as it can't be seen through
It's filled with chilled water cold as ice no matter what time of year
Only the entrance has any welcoming trait
For through it you see across to the white raging river and sunlight rippling down
This is what is enticing, the beautiful roaring scene across the way, it seems so distant, so bright
But once you enter the place darkness falls on your face
The temperature drops to an extreme discomfort and shoots shivers down your back
In the very center you notice a fire pit full of cold gray ash
Black embers leftover from god knows what witches plight
You could stand for but a minute and it would feel of hours, days, maybe even weeks
You eyes peeling hardly to look further into the waters you saw from outside
But now it looks less like raging water than could have imagined before
But of an evil surge that tricks the eye and where black magic runs through and reigns
Perhaps you see a violent blue dragon flying quickly where bubbling white water was
Or a pack of fiery white lions rushing by, their manes flying wildly and largely in the wind
The flies over the water grow more numerous and thicken by the second
Their buzzing sound getting louder all the time until it's all you can hear
Swarms of black clouds circle and hover out above the water
Until one massive cloud blocks your entire sight of the outside out
The black pool by the shore by which you've been standing near now begins to churn with uncanny power
Salamanders of black bubble up from it's depths
Hundreds upon thousands squirming in and out, all through the deep green moss
Their slimy bodies piling up cover the entire earth floor
They writhe in the fire pit's ashes until the pit erupts in an massive manner
Flames reach to the willow trees singing their lowest leaves
The salamanders squeal as it dries and burns their skin
And in not but a moment the flies come rushing to it's bright light
The entire place is consumed in frenzy with nowhere to duck or hide
You fall to the ground for cover and the salamanders wet and cold cling to your skin
In the writhing mass you can cry out to heaven but it won't do a thing
In the hellish place you can run to the entrance but it won't ever be found
You can cling and attempt to climb the walls but the shedding moss will drop you down
You can jump to the waters but the salamanders will pull you under to the depths
Or you can stand and let the flies do the devouring in a painful manner of minutes
The only thing one can do once they've entered and seen this place
Is throw their body on the fire as a self sacrifice and lay themselves down to eternal rest

This is where my evil clad mother of a black heart conceived me that cursed day so long ago
With all the other cultic witches present to cast spells and perform chants
They rejoiced when I was pulled from the womb and the fire burned white
Stories say a black salamander crawled out from my mouth and gave me first breathe
Then they presented my soul to Beelzebub, the lord of the flies in hell
My mother died that very same day in the way of ancient ritual rights
She lowered herself into the black pool and sank to the depths with the salamanders forever to stay
And this is why my eyes are black and my heart so dead and cold
For I was cursed from the start I had no choice when I was born

Reminiscing What I Never Knew- by: unknown forgotten

Out the window I watch the wind blow the tree's vigorously
I'm like a falling leaf blowing in the wind
Just trying to fit in like the rest

I have not but one year and one half past in this place
Nothing to look back to
Nothing to reminisce
Only what I've lived

My California dreams are forgotten
A past that lingers somewhere in the distance
Only of hate and love lost
I live only in the present trying to live
And everyday day forget a little bit of those California dreams

My life consists of but one year and one half
None of which have been so great to recall
Sure people I've met, places I've gone
But nothing I can hold to the heart
Nothing I can hold to my heart

There's a lot of nostalgia in these winter months
We huddle inside and tell stories I never knew
I've got nothing but one year and one half
And nothing worthwhile to say
I've nothing worthwhile to say

We remember the way things were
They make us glad
Then we remember the way things were
They make us sad
We look around and see the changes so hard
We look to the moon contemplating what happened when
What went right
What went wrong

The Black Crow- by: Songs:Ohia

through sparrow black wind
a dead crow calls out to his wing
we were lightning across the whole world
we were lightning
and the guise to black cats we made a cross when our shadows met
and the guise to black cats we made a pact when our shadows passed
through sparrow black wind
a dead crow calls out to its wings
I'm getting weaker I'm getting thin
I hate how obvious I have been
I'm getting weaker
and I look down and see the whole world
and it's fading

Speechless- by: unknown forgotten

It was sometime after I met you
That I ran out of things to say
The silence sustained inevitably
And we just sat there motionless
It was always this way
I'm just guessing
But did you run out of things to say too?

Before I met you
I could talk endlessly for hours
Chitter chatter about nothing
But then I met you
And I had nothing to say
And I think that was when I went insane

Salted Golden- by: unknown forgotten

We are salted gods
With the burnt edges of beauty
And the sweet aroma of destructive power
Our oven called heaven burns blistering hot with our vengeful wrath
Taste us and you will see how we will conquer
Taste us and try and turn away
You will come running back
For you will be fulfilled with our salted love
You'll lick your lips and tremble at our delicious flavor
We are salted gods!
Bow down before us!
Lick your wrist and down tequila!
We are salted gods
You have no choice but to love us

The Fun Gun- by: unknown forgotten

What's it take to find a good old fashioned sock
Tick, tock, tick ,tock
Running barefoot around the block

No worries child
No worries Mr. Fancy Pants
And Granny Oldenugly

We have the fun gun
Pulled the trigger
Shot all our friends
BOOM!

We have the fun gun
Aim it at our heads
To get something done
BOOM!

Hahaha,
Giggle, giggle
You little chicken shit dumplings
It's fun!

You spastic jerkoffs
Let's be best buds
Take turns firing off the fun gun
We better run!
BOOM!

Do what you feel
Whatever's in the moment
Don't waste a second
Because it could all be gone before you know it
Impluse is ambition
Let's you know you're alive
Do it if you know it's right

Not the Death & Taxes- by: unknown forgotten

It's like a cultic ritual
Without the sacrifice
More like a cultural tradition
Without the history
Perhaps it's just a habit
Without the unconscious
It's just a thing we do

Blank Block- by: unknown forgotten

The dinner plate was on the floor
Last weeks leftovers hard and dry
The sun had fallen several hours ago
The lights were on but it still seemed dark
All the walls reached in
Crushing the mind
Outside,
Outside the world went by
Outside,
Outside the world moved effortlessy along
Outside,
It was cold outside.

To Something You'll Never Know- by: unknown forgotten

Woke up slow
This morning
To the sound
Of the stereo
Sunlight rays
Fell downward
Across the room
And off the mirrored glass
I watched
The colors brighten
I was alone
in the motionless room
I thought to myself
I need you to save me

With the head games I play
I drive myself insane

Someday near or far, I'm sure all this will be used against me.

I talked to Satan today
yeah
He said he wants his soul back

Frozen Winter Shit- by: unknown forgotten

Well the weather outside is frightful
The city is frozen and crying
It's falling tears freeze to icicles
And the buildings scream to the cold:
"Let us go,
let us go,
let us go."

The people are bundled up in jackets
They're freezing, they're dieing all around us
A layer of ice on their faces and foreheads
And we cry to the sky:
"We want no more,
we want no more,
we want no more"

The sun is shut in and hiding
The clouds roll overhead laughing
The moon pours its bitter cold light nightly
Above our heads the end of the world is hanging
Our homes have become shelters, encapsulating
And we plead to the cold:
"Let us go,
let us go,
let us go."

Disintegrating- by: unknown forgotten

My stomach sinks in
Like the opposite of a bloated beached dolphin
Chips and salsa
I haven't ate a thing
Skin so thin
Withering away
Like a leaf in the wind
Bones and flesh
Shaking from the cold
Shivering
Belts that don't fit
No energy to throw a fit
Beat me up
I give in
I give in

tonight hurts with reality

Fueled- by: unknown forgotten

This world is run by a machine
A machine of mass consumption
A machine that mass produces
A machine that controls our decisions
What we believe
What we perceive
A machine that factors out improbability
A machine that fills us with perception
A machine that makes us love what we hate
Like a bottle of whiskey, then rum, then whiskey
Well I haven't puked yet
So let me be

A body crumples up like disease
Fetal position upon the cold tile floor
I imagine it's worse than I dream

Machine
Well predetermined
It almost feels like it should be
But so wrong it hurts and ails me

I once told a friend who was as low as one gets:
"Life sucks, but living doesn't."
It saved his life.
Let us be thankful for everday of living.

Limbo- by: unknown forgotten

We try and limbo under the bar to Limbo
The gateway to the upper level of hell
Touch the bar and go to hell
Make it under and go to heaven
I'm as far down as I can go
Either way it's not looking good
In Limbo we wait for the destruction of the world
In Limbo we party and limbo under the bar for fun

The World Has Sinned- by: unknown forgotten
(Perhaps another divine comedy [?]. Laugh with me now...)-

Plans for the future?!
Look deeper!!
I doubt the world will make it until tomorrow
Plans for tomorrow?
Thanksgiving a is a holiday for gluttony and slothfulness
Christmas is a holiday for selfishness, spendthrifts and hoarders, not to mention hypocrites, falsifiers, betrayors, the unbaptized, diviners, false counselors and schismatics,
Veterans day is a holiday for violence, and wrathfulness
...as is Columbus day (destroying the local people and land) violent towards others; and art, Usury
Valentines is all lust, seducers, flatterers, selfishness. Jealousy another sin comes in for those unloved.
Halloween is for the heretics, blasphemers and hypocrites
Easter and Good Friday is for hypocrites, the unbaptized, diviners, false counselors, schismatics, betrayors and falsifiers
Memorial day at its very best is still only slothfulness
Birthdays are days of selfishness, and thieves
Holidays are excuses for the world to defile themselves
Then let us rejoice!
In the eternal inferno we will all burn
Let not one of us fall short from these desecrations
Let us rejoice!
We are humans made short of glory
Our nature shall destroy us all
Find me a man free of sin and we will celebrate
Perhaps spill his blood upon a sacrificial altar
The sort of altar resurrected on any one of these special days
Even the Devil complies with holidays
Revel in our own filth and splendor!
Look what we have become!
Why should we shun what we disgust
When we love it so much?
Do not deny hypocrite, that we love it so much.

If It Was All Metal- by: unknown forgotten

Graphite dust blew over the steel plated hills
Metal jagged leaves hung off metal jagged trees
Shrapnel for gravel
Melted iron ore for a river down below
The taste of gold for breakfast

Rusting animals, the signs of old age
Joints creaking, faces oxidizing
Plies of nuts and bolts that walk about
Gold plated young ones, freshly oiled follow behind
Not machines, but living metal

What A Time/ A Taste So Good (Two stories in one)- by: unknown forgotten

Not unlike a new beginning
Has this city been so cold
The hearts of the people are frozen
We're all so disturbed
The lamp posts that shine under the rain
Glisten their light onto the showers
The wind sways slowly
Holding the night in it's hand

All this unfamiliar weather
Is affecting my brain
Like a dream I sway slowly in the wind
Frozen hearted indeed
Buried to my knees in the soft soil
But it's not what it's talked up to be

I love this place
It consumes the soul
Though I may turn into birch or pine
The water treats me well

Leaves sprout from my fingertips
Branches burst from sides
The roots run deep down the spine in my back
And from my mouth will flow dark sweet sap

My fruit will be strange
Sweet smelling to the scents
The taste may be captivating
But the after affects will be death

Poisonous fruit
So sweet tasting you eat three in a minute
And writhe in pain until your demise
The taste so good
You lick your fingers 'till death

The Lady of Charn- by: unknown forgotten

Hail! Hail!
For the White Queen is dead!
Winter has ended!
The White Witch is dead!
Slain and bloody
By the Lion's mane!
See the the clouds parting
The sun is shining
Her evil reign of winter has met it's end

head full of helium (or something like it)- by: unknown forgotten

my head is full of helium
(or something like it)
and with these infernal winds
and this single fin that runs atop my skull
i'll blow away if i step rightly outside

(let's not forget
my back hurts
my blood is full of poison
and it eating away at my joints
what sleep I've had
oh, say it hurts bad
toss and turn)

by golly god
and his tasteful wrath
my eyes are turning backwards
and everything is going out of focus
shall i reap the flavors of my days

but I say mostly
my head is full of helium
(or a gas lighter than air)
feel i'll float away in a sooner day
like a hot air balloon
i'll course the world

this fin across my skull is growing bigger
and in these winds!
ha, we laugh at the humor
the funny bones that ache so bad
dare I? ha! dare I venture outside
say on a day like this?

not to mention the rain that's falling effortless
it stings, i say it stings like the bitter cold
or perhaps the spatter of boiling oil
and in these winds! ha! these winds they're strong
and with a head full of helium
I dare not step outside

oh what miserable days
feel like soggy toast
I'll slip and fall on the slick walk!
being so light and all
and in these winds!
and this effortless rain
i'll blow away
i'll blow right up away!

oh that jolly god
he mocks me with his weather
say i'll just kick back indoors this day
and we'll laugh at each other
being me with this head full of helium
(or something like it)
he taunts me with his powerful breath and blow
trying to knock me over in the rain that pours
Go outdoors? ha! we laugh at each other
ha! this grin across my jaw grows larger
good times, friends, good times

now say
with this head full of helium and all
just leave me alone

Divine Comedy- by: unknown forgotten

Like a serpent dragon
He writhed upon the floor with no legs
Fire poured from his mouth
Fire poured from his freshly dismembered limbs
His roar bellowed profanities
He cursed god and all that is holy
He damned our souls the hell
He suffered intense pain
So that we may live
Fire dripped from his eyes
A serpent dragon slain
Six hundred years later he will resurrect
And reap all our souls
He will devour our holy bodies
And take our defiled souls to hell where they belong
Like a serpent dragon he will consume us
Jaw dislocated at the hinge
Scooping up millions upon millions
And destroying mankind completely
The barren earth will become his egg
A hatchling of monstrous proportions
It will shatter down the middle
To reveal a creature infinitely more appalling
It's claws will rip open heaven
Devastating all that is holy and well
His tail's swipe will disintegrate all the holy people
It's venom will slay all the angels with fire
It's jaws will press gods skull until it begins to crack
It's teeth will smite him out forever
Finishing off everything that ever was
His name is all powerful
His name is Jesus.

Let's keep records
Statements of things
These are these
These are not these

You Can See His Bones- by: unknown forgotten

Let me stop for a moment
And bite off my tongue
The blood will flow down my chest
My skin will burn away
I am a skelton on display
Don't forget I will always miss you

This bloody mouth
Sings a despairing song
Like the woes of a bystander victim
Never did I dream of such strange things
The blood burns up the veil over my life
I am a skeleton on display
Don't forget I will always miss you

This splitting tongue
Leaks acidic blood
Now what am I to say
I will always miss you
I am a skeleton on display

Lazy Season- by: unknown forgotten

This is the lazy season
The wind rolls through the town
Blowing leaves and freezing air
Gray sky hangs overhead
People succumb to their own weak will
And huddle up indoors
Often next to a fire

This is the lazy season
People are worn out
The year has been long
Now they wait for it to end and start all over

This is the lazy season
It's dark by 5
And people are just getting home
The weather works on their souls
Drowning out any joy
They have no energy without the sun
When it rains it's ten times worse

This is the lazy season
People find someone to love
To make it through the winter months
No real logical reason
Just someone for warmth
A comfort factor that tricks the heart

This is the lazy season
No one knows what to do
People sit by
Let things subside
They stand looking out the window
And all their time complaining

This is the lazy season
It kills people

A Strange Request- by: unknown forgotten

I woke up before dawn
To a random phone call
The kind I've been waiting for
To wake me up from pointless sleeping
And lose my mind
Someone wake me.
Walk in my room and shake me.
We'll rule the night.
Break my eyelids open.
Before the sun makes it light.
Start my life with a kick.
Wake me up.
Disturb my rest.
Because what's the point in sleeping
When there's nothing to wake up to
Help me find my shoes
Let's wander the city in the dark
Nothing's open
It'll have to be just you and me
Visit me while I slumber
Turn on the lights.
Someone wake me.
Wake me up.

Reformatting Tomorrow- by: unknown forgotten

The world sleeps
I put on my glasses
To view a broken scattered conversation
Of treason and blaspheme

Talking heads in the corner room
Faced off to the death
I take off my glasses
The world sleeps

Heel to toe
Tip of the hat
And slip the drugs in blood
And dream on, dream on

The same peoples eyes are stapled open
For fear of going to sleep and waking up
They put on their glasses
And the world is wide awake

Eyes plastered and peeled open
To watch the darkness turn to light
See the sun rising on the horizon
We made it through the night

Because what's the point in sleeping
When there's nothing to wake up to?

Life Alone- by: unknown forgotten

Nobody's awake when I'm awake
Nobody listens to what I say
I say it will work
Nobody believes
I know, I hope things will
I believe
Nobody believes in me
Nobody believes what I have to say
Nobody listens
Nobody gives me the time of day
Nobody gives me the god damned time of day
What did I do?
Nobody believes in me personally
How often have I failed anyone personally?
I always come through
Nobody believes me
Nobody believes in what I do
Nobody listens
Nobody believes in me.

I cry.
Nobody believes me.
I try.
Nobody believes in me.
I guess I let them all down.
I must have.
I let everyone I loved down.
I failed.
They give me no hope.
Then should I even try at all?
I cry.
I let everyone I loved down.
Then why try at all?

I try to love my friends.
Nobody.
Nobody at all.
Nobody I know.
Nobody I love.
Nobody.
Nobody believes in me.

I cry.
Then, fuck off.
Because you don't try to help.
Great advice.
I could have told you that.


Nobody.
Nobody.
Nobody.
Nobody.
Nobody.
Nobody.
Just me.
And me alone.

Insomnia Numb- by: unknown forgotten

If this glass of milk
Were only something thinner and had more liquor
To the taste of a self inflicting night
Perhaps it's just my mind twisting
I just wish this glass of milk
Was something thinner and had more liquor
It would help me go to sleep

Fascinated Oblivion- by: unknown forgotten

It's cloudy black nights like these
I sail into oblivion
Stare straight forward
And don't give a damn

I see everything happening
I notice the smallest details
I'm surrounded by people
Who don't give a damn

I could try to smile
But it's worthless effort
I could be happy
But there's no reason too
On cloudy black nights like these

There's Room For Two- by: unknown forgotten

Empty my pockets
Take off my clothes
Play some sullen music on the stereo
Dim the lights low

I've got motorbikes
They should take me so far
But just like my life
They don't run

Someday I'll repair the damaged machines
Someday I'll get it all running again
But for now I'll sit here rusting

The temperature drops
The heat is turned off
The windows begin to frost
I can see my breathe now

I'm naked on the floor
Sprawled out waiting for something more
I'm waiting for something to fall on my chest
I've been waiting for so long

Wallets empty
No job to wake up to
All I want
Is a ticket to San Diego

But even then
I can't stay forever
My belongings, my life is up here
All that's valuable is down there

I've got motorbikes
When they ride
There's room for two
A seat for me, a seat for you

I'm naked on the floor
Wallets empty
No place to go
But I'm only taking up half
There's room for two

This freezing town
This time of year
There's a place for you
There's room for two

Ten Thousand Miles- by: Molina & Roberts

Fair ye well
My own true love
Fair well for awhile
I'm going away
But I'll be back
If I go ten thousand miles

Ten thousand miles
My own true love
Ten thousand miles or more
And the rocks may melt
And they seas may burn
If I never more return

Oh don't you see
Oh lonesome dove
Sitting in your ivy tree
She's weeping for her own true love
As I shall weep for mine

And I'll be back
My own true love
For who will shoe your feet
And who will glove your hands
When I'm in a foreign land

Look- by: unknown forgotten

The keys slid across the laminated floor
He knelt down to pick them up
She ran out the front door
Outside the window the wind blew with might on the trees
A branch broke off and landed in the road
A lady speeding and digging through here purse did not see the blocked road
She hit the branch and lost control as well as the car behind her
She hit a pole the other car hit her
She died immediately the other driver was rushed to the hospital
He died later that night from internal bleeding
On the radio played smooth jazz
The saxophone was beautiful
Nearby a child watched the whole crash happen
His name was Joseph and his parents were divorced
He was waiting for his school bus
He missed school that day
He missed a spelling quiz
And he missed recess where he would have met Jessica
It was her first day at this new school
She was a shy little girl who liked to sing
Her parents just moved here for her fathers job
He was a police officer and had been for 4 years then
20 years later Joseph and Jessica would be married and have a child
He worked in a business building
Its reflective windows reached miles into the sky
His desk was small and cluttered with paper
A note to see the boss sat upon his desk
She stayed home with the baby
He worked too much though and neglected his family
So Jessica started an affair with one of Joseph's friends
He found out on an early afternoon
It was a cold day but the sun was shining
He had lost his job despite his hard efforts to keep it
The door was slightly ajar as he entered his own home
The baby was crying in it's room
He caught them in the act
Throbbing like wild animals upon the bed he payed for
His heart was broken then enraged
Up in the rafters in the garage there was a box
He took it down, ripped off his tie and opened the box
It contained a gun Joseph was given to by his father when he turned 16
That was to be the last time he saw his father before he disappeared
A relative had said they saw his father 3 years ago in California
Joseph never looked any further into it
He aimed the rifle at the adulterer's head and fired
The man died instantly
Blood splattered across the room
Staining the off white curtains
And dripping onto the carpet
Jessica was unaware Joseph had entered the room when it happened
Joseph just walked away silently back down the stairs
She grabbed some clothes and ran out of the house
She frantically screamed and threw her keys at him
The keys slid across the laminated floor
He knelt down to pick them up
She ran out the front door

The night is silent
The air is still
We are alone for the moment
But I am always here

I always know where I am
I just don't know how to get back home
Or where these roads go

7286 Days And Counting- by: unknown forgotten

It's a lot like disillusion
A sort of false reality
A salty fog that resided only in your mind
The taste of vinegar
The ice that freezes your toes
Resting upon a wooden bed
Wrapped up in lettuce
Thoughts of unimportance
Escaping what you know is real
Shutting yourself in for days
Visiting old friends, and never seeing them ever again
Keeping in touch once every 6 years
Swimming in contaminated waters
Drinking a cup of who knows what
Spinning in circles in your new car
Climbing a tree only to fall
Shoplifting with money in hand
Tasting only samples but never buying a thing
Looking at pets with desires of hunger
barbecuing liver and onions for your family
Computers that love more than lovers
Mirrors that begin to talk back after awhile
Cereal that sits out all day
Trash piled up in heaps upon the floor
Books unread in the fire
Ideas drowned out with liquor
The scent of fresh paint
Cars constantly broken down
Joyous occasions end in frowns
Funerals of people you've never met
Relatives you wish were dead
Smoking cigars inside the house
Music that makes your ears hurt
Fish in the tank starved to death
Toilet overflowing flooding the basement
A dark feeling that things will never be right
Awake during surgery
Mold inside the walls
Burning rubber
Televisions exploding
Getting your hair caught in a vacuum
Photos blurred out
Matches all soaked and wet
Snowfall in your window at night
Getting lost in your hometown
Regret
Machines taking over your job
Doing the job of a machine
Cell phone batteries depleted
Carpet stained with wine
Knocks on the door from strangers
Converting your dollars to Euros
Planes that crash into mountains
Lovers who've killed themselves
A sink full of vomit
Another first kiss
Burning yourself on a hot stove
Getting locked out
Debt never repaid
River swimming and waterfalls
Movies that make you cry
Pulling hair alone at night
Shivers down your back
Sex on the kitchen counter
Stickers on street signs
Dogs howling
Getting the high score
Learning to play guitar
Moving to New York, yankee
Fleeing to New Orleans
Spending the night in a cave
Falling asleep at the wheel
Bounced checks
Starting a new hobby
Expectedly failing again
Losing your wallet
Flat tires
Empty cupboards
Candles burning out
Cutting yourself while shaving
Breaking an ankle
Quitting your job in anger
Numbers that don't add up
Begging for mercy
New shoes that don't fit
Losing your sight, getting glasses
Believing in god then dyeing
Cattle in the fields
Half moons versus crescent moons
The boy who had no legs
Fear of writing a letter
Making movies in your mind
Biting fingernails
Stale crackers
Crushing cans, breaking bottles
Going out for lunch
Peering through the blinds
Surprise birthday parties
Dreaming alone in a park
Police cars
Feeding the hungry
Death at your door
Killing a snake, keeping the mouse
Building a cabin
Looking up words in the dictionary
Taxes and files
Lessons never learned
Shoes full of holes
Forgetting to take the garbage out
Post-it notes
Walking into walls
Buying candy you don't like
Stopped escalators in malls
The smell of bathroom disinfectant
receiving the wrong change
Headphone speakers blown
Punching jaws
Rolling in your sleep
No will to live
Rolling hills
Broken chairs
Radio is only static sound
Cutting yourself on scissors
Going to anger management
Waking up at dawn
Being told you're useless
Pens that are out of ink
Plugging a light into an outlet
Watering the lawn
Singing a sad sad song
Sickness that is contagious
Disillusion is dangerous

Lay Us Down In Piles- by: unknown forgotten

The way we live is the way we die in this bloody murderous town
The way we wail in the night signifies how our lives will end
Make sure to carry your knife, and be ready to draw
Because the scoundrels will attack you when your not ready at all
The way we live is the way we die in this bloody murderous town
Slaughter your enemies before they take you down
Their blood is on their own hands for the sins they committed against you
The way they lived was they way they died in this bloody murderous town
We'll dig our own graves tonight
We'll keep killing until we lose the fight
The way we wail in the night signifies how our lives will end
The way we live is the way we die in this murderous town

Paralyzed Inside- by: unknown forgotten

Once you sit down
You realize your legs don't work anymore
In fact, you can't move at all
You only want to get up and leave
Go out into the dark city
And meet people you've never known
Talk to them until the sun comes up
And realize you don't even know how to get back home
But why go home then?
If you've already gone that far?
So you stay, you remain with these strangers
The strangers you now know so well
You can't remember when you first met anymore
Because you've been away from home so long
If only these legs moved
If only I could will myself away
And wander the dark city alone
Until you meet someone you've never known before
Look them in the eyes
They're the ones like you
Whose legs don't move

Something Like What Once Was Love- by: unknown forgotten

Oh I'll change everything
We could both be better now if we tried to survive
We'll change everything after we can finally decide
I'll stand in this room
When I give the queue
We'll look apart, and leave the house
Meet me around the back in my car
I'll take us away from here
We could both be better now if we tried
You stand in that room
and we'll look across the house
Through doorways, halls, and bedrooms
We could both be naked now and innocent
We'll change everything
We could both be naked now
At some point we should come back to each other
At some point you think we would make things better
Get in your car and drive here
We could both be better now if we tried
We'll change everything after we finally decide what to do next

I left you behind. What shall we do next?

It's been dark here since I shut my eyes.

These falling leaves tear me apart.

We are washed clean by ignorance and exemption.

Like We're In Control- by: unknown forgotten

In these hard times
We are frail minds
In these frail times
We are lost souls
Running the track
To never come back
Circles and circles
That run tangents to the end of the world
And to this life we have to face
We cheer oursleves on and pound our legs
To speeds never reached
And to lengths never percieved
We will destroy ourselves in our own physical breach
Huzzah! Hurrah! And we bid our congrats!
Join us us in our fatal defeat!!

Take What You Want- by: Five Eight

Only two can tell when you come around the hill
Pulling into town it's been years since you've been around
Had a lousy night of sleep
With your head stealing pieces of what once was said
And dreams that feel so dead
But don't let them make your bed
What is love and fear
Like a dress you never wear
A place that can't be found
Thoughts that still astound
From the corner of you eye
What makes apologies and turn the other cheek
Ah just a fool like me
When you take what you want to
Take what you want to
I'll give it to you
I'll give it to you
Take what you want
The prodigal returns
Father's bride burns
And brother turns his head down to spit on it
We never block things out
I remember every doubt
And what has shed the light
As this city comes into
Take what you want to
Get up we're leaving now
You're father can walk home
His hands on the phone
I feel it in my skin
The way you walk away
The movement of the day
The mystery and joy are clouded with you voice
So take what you want to

The One Who Does Better- by: Five Eight

Soon all you think you know is uncertain and unfamiliar
But life won't lose it's glow the sweetness and dull ache
Though you're the one who does better
Your miracle abides in the way you live
Because it became the way you died
The good nurse knows the way
Her tender little fingers made to shape the clay
I'm going to show you how this feels
The good nurse gives you blood
A bad one gives you mixture
She shuns away the weight
It pushes you away
I think I will sit down
I think aloud
I'll cry soon
I'm not a bit okay
Don't tell me I'm afraid
I want to take you down
I'll show you all around
What do you think makes the difference in this night
We run alone not fall behind the light
Something inside has died
To some of us it's another throw away day
One that we curse and we steal from
As we cheat ourselves from moments left to heal
Without knowing why
Without a reason as it keeps on getting worse
Your medicines on the television
Late night indecision
Will you go far when you wish upon a star
Your wishes are such a cheaper vision
A slender piece of imagination that failed just for the thrill
Hold on still
Come on you're the star
You're the one who does better

"Say buddy," he interrupted
"How does it feel to have destroyed all your loved ones?
I mean," he continued on
"You think you're doin' alright, don't ya?"
"What are you saying?" replied the suit
"Well, you know, I ain't sayin nothing,
It's just that I can tell. I can see it in your eyes."
"Please, leave me alone." said the suit
And he cried.

One Day, These Days, Every Day- by: unknown forgotten

This moment's worth nothing to me
Today I took advantage of the worst part of myself
I delved deeper into my insanity
And got lost in a big city
I broke down twice
The stress is too much
And it's so much harder
When I brought it on myself

Now lets take a different vantage point
And how can you see
And how can you not think there isn't something wrong with me
Every day drives me insane
Even though those thing to everyone else are mundane
I haven't shed a tear in years
I feel so dry, so stale
I just can't line things up
Or get them straight
I don't think anyone believes in me
They have no reason to
Not in success, nor in talent
Not even making it through the next year
Everyday feels like a horrible dream
I live it, then believe it wasn't real
That misery never happened to me
It was just a distant memory
And it's these things that drive me insane
They violently scour my brain
It's repetition that's killing me
It's repetition that's killing me
It's repetition that's killing me
Maybe tomorrow will be completely different
Maybe tomorrow will be exactly the same

Stinging Rain- by: unknown forgotten

It's cold
I should feel it in my bones
But it's been too long
For me to be able to feel
It's these thundering nights
Downpour that never stops
It wears on the heart
The floods leak into my room
And soak me while I sleep
And it's cold, so cold
So cold all alone
I walk around in wet clothes all day
Getting sicker by the minute
And it's wearing on my brain
Each day I wake up again
And put on wet shoes
I look back as if there should be something there
Knowing I'm all alone still
I woke up in my dream
And I thought you were there beside me
There was nothing there
Just these cold sheets
And it's cold, so cold all alone
I should feel it in my bones
But I can't feel anything anymore
This rain that never stops
Is bringing me down
It wearing on my mind
Like thousands of years change stone
Slowly, ever so slowly
In this thundering cold
This frail body of mine
It deceives me in the end
It's cold, so cold
But I can't feel anything anymore

I don't know if I'm lost
But I do know I'm right here

Old Shoes New Shoes- by: unknown forgotten

I dreamt of a dog gnawing my neck
And cars parked in my reserved space
Water flowed into the garage
And washed all my loved ones away
I worked and got mad at the boss
Then ended up magically somewhere else
It was raining still it had all night
I think she was there with her big eyes
Staring into mine by the campfire
But the alcohol made me hide
I got new shoes

Microwave- by: unknown forgotten

I stand half-naked
In front of the microwave
I can feel the radiation
It's throbbing through my veins
The spinning tray
And the glowing light
Amongst the blackened room
I'm cooking up my heart to eat for dinner
It's swelling like a marshmellow
And it's about to explode
Micro waves splash into my brain
Reconfiguring what I thought I had known
With tumors the size of melons
The radiation filtering through the viewing window
It's melting my defrosted soul
And putting cancer in my lungs

That's Not The Way We Do It- by: unknown forgotten

They'll have fun at church
They'll have fun at church without me today
They'll praise god
I'll praise my bed
I'm lost somewhere in all this mess
And the funny thng is
It has nothing at all to do with this

I'll Eat Your Soul- by: Unknown Forgotten

Since the last time
No one believes in me
It's all disregard
For what has changed

I'm not the same
the old boys think I'm strung out
the new ones think I'm crazy as hell
Well, fuck you, hand me the bottle and I'll be alright

Isn't that what everyone would like to think
Well, fuck you, I've been straight
I'm torn up a like a horrid car wreck
Wipe me off the cross walk and I'll be alright

Since the last time I'm better
But you never knew me well anyway
I'll eat your soul

Rip open this road-rashed heart
And I'll show you a black one
That pumps darkness, fuck the light

From it flows only life
I'll wait until you backlash
For that's the way I like it
And show you I'm infinite

Brush those tears from your sockets
Empty swollen eyes are saddened by me
You think you know everthing
You know nothing
I'll truly show you everything

Your shaking body ruptures
To the sound of my voice
Because you know
I love you always

Your feet love that sidewalk that I puke on
Well the rain pulls a hard left in the wind and washes away
You'll never believe
You'll never believe the truth I believe in

When I'm torn open
This will be irrelevant
Crease your pants
Iron your shirts


At my funeral I'll eat your god damned soul
But don't think it won't hurt

I'll break your teeth with a hammer.
Perhaps.
Perhaps I'll break your teeth with a hammer.

Visions- by unknown forgotten

You grabbed my hand
And we fell into it
Like a daydream or a fever
The sun hit my eyes like a car headed straight for us
And all I could do was peer into it
The great stuggle to hold onto memories
My mind flooded with love, distance, and impossible ideas
Until the sun set like a fiery plane crash
And the moon was all I could see
My stomach burned like an ulcer
Flames rippling to my heart
The pain was love
The pain was hurt
I tried, but could not see the future

Being In Love- by: Songs:Ohia


being in love means you are completely broken
then put back together
the one piece that was yours
is beating in your lovers breast
she says the same thing about hers

however I have gotten here I have plans to be with you
and for the first time it is working
it is working

and I am proof that the heart is a risky fuel to burn
yeah, we are proof that the heart is a risky fuel to burn

what's left after that's all gone I hope to never learn
but if you stick with me you can help me
I'm sure we'll find new things to burn

cause we are proof that the heart is a risky fuel to burn
yeah, we are proof that the heart is a risky fuel to burn

Hello God, This is Not the Hour- by: unknown forgotten

It was a long time before I disengaged 4th gear and began to coast freely. The rippling thunder of the cracks in the road beneath my tires resonated within my bones. I could see nothing, absolutely nothing but the fog ahead and my dash lights radiating dimly. The heater was broken, it was cold inside the automobile. My breathe quivered off my trembling lips. The radio had been playing static white noise for hours on end. There wasn't a moment I thought about all this at the time though, my mind was consumed, obesessed on something different completely. As if my brain was frozen in place, constantly repeating to myself "There was nothing left but skeletons and the preacher with bloody hands." I put no thought into deciphering what I had seen.

Everyone Wants to be Me- by: unknown forgotten

Nobody wants to be
Nobody want to be me
With all this new technology
That resides in us

But now I'm getting ready for the deep freeze
Getting ready for my final sleep
My mind is dissolving
Blowing into the autumn breeze

And now that I'm going to fade away
Everyone want to be
Everyone wants to be me
And dissappear too

Extension cords and electric brains
Prostetic fingers and robotic legs
If only I could recieve
These things wont save me

I'll fall from skyscrapers
Infect myself with disease
But the death that is coming
Is nothing I could ever change

There's something strange about the disadvantaged
Those who take the hardest falls
Because hardships bring them grace

Nobody wanted to be me
Its so unfair when they steal my soul
After I'm gone they'll take my place
I want nobody to be

Nobody ever wanted to be me

Sleep well under the dark black sky this cold and sullen night.
Those shining stars that hover above your roof outside,
are the same stars that brighten up my night,
and give me this midnight light.
As I lay down to sleep in not but a moments time,
you already slumber and the sleep and dreams are you all know.
And in the same manner I shall slumber,
in my dreams consumed,
where I will revel on about how I miss you,
and someday meet you on the dark side of the moon.

Sleep well, and dream deep,
for that is that is the only time we can truly live.

We stare into each other from one thousand miles apart.
Our souls reaching out,
each other is all we have left.
Now there's a distance that can be crossed,
but only with our hearts.
Without love we couldn't believe in anything that lives or breathes.
Without love we wouldn't believe in anything at all.

We're Only Bone- by: unknown forgotten

Let's dissect my skull into 7 pieces
Starting with my eyes we'll dig in deep
Then we'll come in from the bottom through the mouth
Remove my ears carefully so I won't hear myself scream
Pull back my scalp and reveal the shimmering white
Crack that bone and take me apart

So Cold- by: unknown forgotten

I'm sinking to the bottom
My breathe cut off
Your force struck my head
Now I hear no sounds
The tide is pulling me out
The crashing waves are long gone
Now I was just floating and thinking
But now I'm sinking to the bottom and murky depths
The moon light ripples through the salty blue
As my mind slowly shuts off

Bedtime in Better Times- by: unknown forgotten

We'll get naked
We'll go to bed
Then we'll go to sleep
And we'll dream
Just you and me

Fight for Monday- by: unknown forgotten

On a rainy sunday in the future
We'll split the world in two
Two mass majorities
Split between one opinion
You can already see the rest
I'll bear a sword in hand
To face the armies of death
Like lightning through the sky
Black and white and black
A crack of thunder will smite us all
Our faces will be pale like the moon
Our blood will sink to our feet
The oceans will turn crimson red
You can already see the rest

He Was A Wolf- by: unknown forgotten

Like Christ and his companions
The wolves never knew the difference between good and bad
Drinking the cold stale blood
Like the smoke that poured through the light
The forgotten son who wandered about
These wolves ate the bread of their enemies
Our companions will never know any better
Our companions will lead us astray
Let us hunt down the evil in our lives
Let us bear teeth of glimmering white
Hold onto our cross and devour the sinners around
Like Christ the wolves summon up spirits
Ancient allies who give strength to harness the power of life
This risky plan will lead us in the right
Those who hunt evil in packs of millions
Those who listen to their companions and become minions
To the wolves who stalk them in the dark
Like the wolves Christ evaded death
By running through the woods
The scent of death trailing behind
Bearing teeth of glimmering white

Sliding- by: unknown forgotten

I hovered above the rain water
Skimming across its surface
As it settled on the ground
Drops from heaven pounded my skin
As I flew through it
The cold air it brought with it
Put tear in my eyes
My nose was cold as ice
As I watched my reflection in the water on the ground
And the hard days take their toll on my mind

Walking in My Mind- by: unknown forgotten

I heard your footsteps running through my mind
Like you were on the floor above with floor boards creaking
The pounding patter of you feet echoed so loud
I heard you running down the stairs and trip and fall
I shuddered when I heard you break your neck in my mind
Then I reveled on that I don't know who you even are
I heard you walking up behind me with a gun towards my back
I heard you walking around as I slept in my mind
I heard you in my mind as you ran down the street
I heard you stepping through tall weeds in my mind
I heard your footsteps weighted down by my body in your arms
You dropped my body in an open grave
Then I heard you walk away in my mind

Tragic- by: unknown forgotten

Rolling like wind
Struck by massive force
Thrown to the ground
Rolling like a rock downhill

Oh mr ambulance man
Will I be all right?
Will I make it through the night?
Is that my blood upon the ground?

Cruising through the streets
Late night, at ease
Struck by the damned
Thrown off course

Oh mr ambulance man
What happeneed just now?
Where are you taking me?
Please just leave me alone

Walk Away From Summer- by: unknown forgotten

Rooms of golden summers
Take the breeze away
Things are changing

Sirens are ringing
To the house wife symphony
Hear the black and whites rolling near

Sweeping the carpets
Mopping up blood
There was no incedent here

Trees are shedding
Golden layers to the ground
The sun is fading to the south

Hear the children
Playing in the streets
Imagine all the little heart beats

Huddle near now darling
This time has come to an end
Things are changing

Encapsulating- by: unknown forgotten

We all need an ultra fast giant grated steel cheese wheel
We all need something special like that
In order to keep us entertained
We all need grated steel cheese wheels

Lost Aspirations- by: unknown forgotten

Self-medication poured from the poor bastards fingertips
Like a dismembered hand
Shivering in his cowardly hole
He sang a sullen song
Flicking the light on and off
on and off, on and off, on and off

We Were All So Troubled Then- by:unknown forgotten

We were outrageous
They threw us to the ground
Can you relate
Or does the mind hesistate
Trying not to remember a time so bad

Well, mostly when you cried
So tired, all alone
That time you came home
With a heart broken like stone

There was a time we once knew each other
But that was so long ago
When we were one with each other
But didn't know what to do

We were troubled then
Put together by some greater force
But we didn't know what to do with the feelings
So we fell apart

Well so much time is gone
Time reveals all
And it seems to reveal all we missed
And show us the things we should have could have had
And reminds us how we failed to reach out

Time reveals all...
Reveals all the things we missed...
Those were strange times
We were all so troubled then

Times have changed
And now we're beginning to think straight
Tyring to recall all the past times
And put them in their right place

Sing Your Song Black Cat- by: unknown forgotten

Don't cry black cat
Howlin to the moon about midnight
Atop the fence you sing slick cat
Your tears fall onto the trash cans
Trash cans made cymbals for your late night opera

Cheer up black cat
Dodge those shoes thrown at you
Cry on to the skies
At just about midnight

Prowl the alleys
Under the shimmering full moon
Atop your fence post
Sing the lonesome song
The song of life you've come to learn

Hey there black cat
Alley cat, slick cat
Your torment dwells deep within the heart

Sing your soulful song
There's nothing to hold you back
Hear those bad dogs howlin across town
Don't be afraid black cat
Give it your all and sing along

Cry on black cat
Get it all out
Sing to the skies about your life
Your life of hardships and trials
You've earned the right

Those scars on your face
Your tail cut short from a fight
The mange you've aquired from your hard life

Sing on! Sing on black cat
Your midnight opera is what we want to hear
To remind us that there is a life much harder
The life you've been forced to live

Dig through the trash cans
You've got to eat somehow
No owner to feed and pet you
No one to cuddle with as they sleep

Just live as much as you can black cat
You never had the luxurious life
No milk from a saucer
Just dirty puddles on the ground

Sing from your fence top
So late in the night
Sing on black cat
Alley cat, slick cat
Cry out to the moon just about midnight

Past Life Hobo Dreams- by: unknown forgotten

Soon after the land before time
But much earlier than 1853
Sang the songs of drunken hobo's
And train rail songs
Hiccupped to the beat of the times
And layed flat to be cut in thrice
By the gigantic metal wheels of the speeding locomotive
Right after the dinosaurs died
But we were still in control
We tossed our belongings into satchels
And walked the earth as nomad warriors
Campfires under bridges
Fighting of the wild apes full of wrath
With sticks and torches
As we cooked our baked beans
Told bullshit stories
And sang drunken songs of this life
That life we left behind so long ago
That life we now only remember as ancient hobo dreams.

Salted Gods- by: unknown forgotten

We are salted gods
In a land of snack foods and treats
Accept us

We are salted gods
With the extra little something
To make you want more and more

Listen to us preach
Obey our commands
Lick the salt off your sweaty arm

There's no time
To choose something better
Worship us, the salted gods

We are so tasty
More than you ever thought
Drink tequila to quench your thirts

We are salted gods
Above all the rest
In this land of snack foods and treats

This Wasn't What I Percieved...- by: Unknown Forgotten


Take spoon in hand
Place near heart
Press with extreme force upon skin
Until spoon penetrates flesh
Proceed to scoop out heart

Here we go again

I say these instructions aren't so good as they seem
For instance
Someday, you may need that heart again
____

"Hahahaha" He laughed with extreme force
Opening up vocal cords that had never been before
"This isn't anything" he screamed
"This I didn't forsee!!"

He woke before dawn
He put his shoes on
Grabbed his hammer
And smashed all the lights in his house


"This isn't the day I concieved,
This isn't what I believed!"
Rolling wind rushed through the door
Bringing with it sounds of horror

"Hahahaha" He laughed hysterically
The sink began to overflow
Hot water ran over his bare feet and toes
Scolding every inch of his ankles and below

He ran to the kitchen
Water splashing as he went
Dove to the utensils counter
And grabbed the beggest spoon he could

Sprawling cook books upon the table
He flipped page after page
Until he found the instructions that mattered
They read simply:

"Take spoon in hand
Place near heart
Press with extreme force upon skin
Until spoon penetrates flesh
Proceed to scoop out heart"

"Ahahahaha!! Here we go again!!"
_____

Scoop after scoop he dug it out
"These instuctions aren't very good" he whispered
As blood dripped from his mouth
"They hurt so much more than I percieved."

I'm crazy if I ever met crazy. But not even that. Just lost.

I MIss You More Than You Know- by: unknown forgotten

i miss you more than I knew
I love you truly
I miss you

I dreamt you were not coming
One week ago
And I realized I cannot stand to miss you again

I begin to fear I'll never see you again
I lose hope that I'll thouch your lips again

Two days away
You should be here soon
But I've called and called
No response is ever heard

It has been 1 year, 2 months
So much lonely time has lapsed

Beneath these sullen tears
Memories of you are there

And I'm reminded of why I loved you
And why I love you still

I miss you
I wish you were here

I only hope that these words
Straight from the heart
Meet you somewhere
And keep themselves forsaken forever more

Dream's must be true....

Killian's Red- by: Nada Surf

I'm putting this night down to bed
'cause I was sitting at the bar
Hoping you'd walk in the door
That says Killian'S red
'cause I left you a note that said
Come on out and we'll both get
Right off of our heads
And float up off the chair
We'll go on vacation tonight
Under a sun of neon light
And I almost love this town
When I'm by your side
You woke me from a long sleep
And I'm almost back
Closer than ever
To finding the hidden track
If I told you the truth
You wouldn't like what I said
I almost believed I was dead
There'll be no more waiting
You're gonna melt all the ice in our heads
There'll be no more crying
You're gonna make it all better instead
...
I get secrets at night
But they don't stay
I get secrets at night
But they go away

I guess it's true... she's not coming....

Inside of Love- by: Nada Surf

Watching terrible tv, it kills all thought
Getting spacier than, an astronaut…
Making out with people, I hardly know or like
I can’t believe what I do, late at night

I wanna know what it’s like
On the inside of love
I’m standing at the gates
I see the beauty above

Only when we get to see, the aerial view
Will the patterns show, we’ll know what to do
I know the last page so well, I can’t read the first
So I just don’t start, it’s getting worse

I wanna know what it’s like
On the inside of love
I’m standing at the gates
I see the beauty above
I wanna know what it’s like
On the inside of love
I can’t find my way in
I try again and again

I’m on the outside of love
Always under or above
I can't find my way in
I try again and again

I'm on the outside of love
Always under or above
Must be a different view
To be a me with a you

I wanna know what its like
On the inside of love
I'm standing at the gates
I see the beauty above
I wanna know what its like
On the inside of love
Of course i’ll be alright
I just had a bad night
I had a bad night

Rip my heart in three
One piece for the fear that dwells within
The second for the love I have for you
And the third for you to keep to remember me by
One day all I ask is we return
And put the pieces all back together

untitled - by: .... ......

Helplessy hoping
Her harlequin hovers nearby,
Awaiting a word.
Gasping at glimpses of gentle true spirit
He runs, wishing he could fly.
Only to trip at the sound of goodbye.
Wordlessly watching he waits by the window,
And wonders at the empty place inside.
Heartlessly helping himself to her bad dreams,
He worries,
Did he hear a goodbye?
Or even hello?
They are one person,
They are two alone,
They are three together,
They are for each other.
Stand by the stairway,
You'll see something certain
To tell you confusion has its cost
Love isn't lying its loose in a lady who lingers,
Saying she is lost,
And choking on hello.
They are one person,
They are two alone,
They are three together,
They are for each other.

Of Daylight Turning- by: .... ......

Breathing in the morning mist
Only during the night
Breathing in- I'm breathing in you
Left with sincere silence
You came and leave
My daylight turning

Follow your infinite trail
Meet me at the end
Where daylight slips behind the moon
And I'll be waiting
Surrounded by softly swooning silence
To keep you

Stars become more beautiful to me
Intruiging during dusk
Quickly disappearing
Faintly their shine falls into your eyes
Where I am drown
Only to disappear when daylight turns

I can't help but wonder
Where my stars end up
When darkness fades
And I can't help but worry
Where I will end up
When daylight slips by behind the moon
And I'm surrounded by the familiar sincere silence
And alone with my daylight turning

Where Are You?- by: unknown forgotten

Terror under your skin
It's what it's there for

Sends shivers down your spine
When you find there's nothing coming true

When there's nothing coming to you
It quakes your body like you're cold

Bumps appear on your skin
And your heart picks up the beat

When things go from good to bad
Your hair stands on edge

Terror under your skin
It is what it's here for

To remind you there's nothing coming true
When your hands become clamy and cold

Your lips quaver in fear
When there's nothing coming to you

I Don't Remember That- by: unknown forgotten

well I dozed off into an uncontrollable day dream
what happened within were visions that never should have been seen

It happens all the time
The first time it happened
Was on a saturday in the park
I think it was the fourth of July

I don't quite understand this
But there was something more meaningful
...I think

I dozed off in to an unstoppable day dream
A lucid dream awake
Everything was out of proportion
And continued day after day

It lasts for all eternity
The mind wanders off
Never to come back
The body continues on

well I dozed off
and now I dream when I'm awake

Such a Blessed Sinner- by: unknown forgotten

When I was baptized as a child I didn't let my trigger hand go under the water
And my left hand had its fingers crossed

I keep a bible taped to the barrel of my gun
So the bullet that kills you will be blessed

I'll drain your blood and sacrafice you
Like the an animal in the old testament

I promised my heart to god
But sold my soul to satan

I'm a merciless killer
But I always repent

I'll steal from the rich and give to myself
As long as I tithe ten percent

Saturday night's I'll be stalking the streets
Sunday morning I be praying to god

And when I die
Who knows where I'll go
Because I'm playing both odds

Flashback- by: unknown forgotten

We were just standing there
And I walked away
And think of all the things I miss

It's like a town with no name
Or a shoe with no lace
A man with no face
A heart with no pain
A picture with no frame
A bouquet with no vase
A theif with no chase
A ball with no game
A sun with no flame
A road with no lane
A stride with no pace
A structure with no brace
A lawyer with no case
A gimp with no cane
A shot with no aim
A hurricane with no rain

It's about all the little things I miss
You were just standing there
And I walked away
You never left my mind
You keep me mezmerized

And here I am in this other state
Indescribable; Far away
MIssing you; Across border lines
In this other state of mind, in another place

And then you find me here
All lost in a maze
Of concious collective thought
With no ability to pray

It's not to say I don't miss you
It's not to say go away
It's more like I love you
And I never want to leave you again

Relive- by: unknown forgotten

Getting up
Living dead
Early morning
Evil at dawn
Open my eyes
Be reborn
Stare into the sun
Wander the street
Another day
Another life
Eat breakfast
Eat human flesh
Go to work
Destroy the world
Come home
Return to the grave
Go back to bed
Return another day

Us Bastards Can't Learn- by: unknown forgotten

These white lights
And toxic fumes
Clouds of mushrooms
Something is unsure
But we can't learn!
We make the poisoned drink
We make you drink it
These big tanks
Advancing flanks
And scandalous banks
Something is unsure
But we're all fake!
We'll pay for your dinner
But you can't eat it
These seismic waves
Corporate slaves
Intentional graves
Something is unsure
But we can't learn!
We'll give you slop in a bowl
But we get to keep your soul

The Gift of Smarts- by: unknown forgotten

Out of the clear blue sky
The thundering crack rained
Lightning leaping from nothing
Connecting with his head
Zapping into his brain

The tale of an ordinary man
A normal man with no special plight
Until that unordinary day
When he was sruck by heaven's light

He now knew everything there is
It had given him the gift of smarts
Ask him any question whatsoever
Like "Why bologne has a funny name?"
He would tell all, and why it was so and so's fault

He made millions within a week
There was nothing he didn't know
He thought he was on the top of the world
Until one child asked him a question
Where he took the biggest blow

"How did the lightning make you smarter?"
Asked the curious little boy
And the moral of the story is:
We'll just never know

The Tale of an Insomniac One Unrestless Night- by: unknown forgotten

My eyes peered at the cieling
My mind wandered up to its massive white plane
Clearing all thoughts, I could not leave one thought
I couldn't get to sleep that night

It was 2:41am
I had watched the last 3 hours pass by
I kept on wishing someone would kill me right then
I kept on saying I'd rather be dead

She layed next to me silent as stone
She hadn't moved a muscle
My body was so full of energy
I thought I was going to explode

I wanted to get up and run around
I wanted to toss and turn
Instead I lay silently, motionless
Sweat forming on my brow

Every muscle in my body twitched
I couldn't keep hold of my thoughts
It felt like it was 100 degrees
I was burning up

The air was so silent!
I was losing my mind!
I lept from the bed
And ran swiftly outside

The air was cool and refreshing
I calmed myself down a bit
Finally gathered all my thoughts
And went back to bed
Where I layed, for another hour or so...

What Friends Are For- by: unknown forgotten

We dove deeper into more devious plans
But nothing worked so well but wearing black masks
We were too drunk to drive
So we ran through the night

Our feet pounded away on the concrete beneath
Are motions awkward
Our minds trailing off
Each step we took, took us closer to success

Inside the neon lights flickered wildly about
The air was stiff and cold
The place barren, except a lonely clerk
As the automatic doors slid slowly open to let us in

We pounced him with fists like bullets
Broke open the register and took all the cash
Grabbed a pack or two of smokes
And hit the road running once again

Sirens shouted through the night
We dodged through yards, alleys, and parking lots
At every turn there was the black and whites
Spinning red and blue lights

I ran into a random house
The family's picture was on the mantle
I sat silently as they slept in their beds
And waited for the police to clear the area

The bag of money felt heavy in my hand
My palms were sweaty
It was hard to realize what had just happened
I counted the money on the table
It was just what we needed

2 days later we went to the courthouse
Briefcase of cash in hand
Paid my best friends' bail
And it was his first time out in a month

He didn't ask how we got the money
He didn't even look us in the eyes
He just murmered softly "Thanks."
And we were all on our seperate ways.

My Bones Kill My Flesh- by: unknown forgotten

I crawled out of my skin
Grabbed myself and shook me around
Told myself not to be who I am
Threw myself across the room and fell down

My body of flesh cried there in the corner
But my skeleton self was not merciful yet
I told myself to get my shit together
I screamed at myself until the sun came up

In the morning I consoled myself
I told myself it was all for my own good
Me, and I sat there in silence
Realizing it was all for the better

We looked back at my life
From what it had been to what it is
And all the distance that had been traveled
At life in general, and how it all matters

When all had been said and done
I climbed back into my skin
This time my skin was much tighter
Because I had shaken out all the filth

So if I resemble more of a skeleton than a human body
Realize they are not evil bones
They make me all together stonger
Instead of all my weaknesses making me softer

Sad Sullen Melody Full of Defeat- by: unknown forgotten

Arrrrgh! I am the devil
And arrrg!
I am shit faced to the bones
The organs peacefule melodies
Calm my aching bones

Hail! to the sufferiing
I can't deny!
Until the sun is up
I will ultimately deny

There's nothing that will save me
There's nothing that will supply
The ultimate feeling
I have not inside

It's early in the afternoon
The bottles' got me down
Arrgh! There ain't nothing
To keep me from the ground
I'm falling!
I'm falling!

Hold onto the grasp
Of the three holy masts
One that brought Amercia to us
One that sank from my canons thrust
Third! can only tear down
These old walls

For the shitfire of heaven
Is upon us all

Cry!
Cru until the waters
Consume us all

Arrrrgh! I am the devil
And arrrg!
My bones will break
Something is eating
My soul away

This sullen melody
Of pain will suffice
Until I gain my bearings
Until I find true love

hold onto me
Keep me
Within reach
Embrace me 'till morning
When I...can see....

oohhh ahhhhhh!
oh ahhhh!
I have the devils heart!

Shadow's Calling- by unknown forgotten

Oh god!
Somebody help me please!
There's a shadow calling my name
Its black vines are wrapping themsleves around my throat
And crushing my lungs with ease
The darkness is absorbing me
The shadows!
Spawns of Satan
Corrupt and defiling evil
That pulls me in in the day
And consumes us all at night
The shadows are calling!
Black absence slithers into my heart!
God help me!
Before it devours my life!

And Old Man's Despair- by: unknown forgotten

Every day
I rise in the early morn'
Each day I am less alive
Each day I die more

I must have an infection
That's haunted me all my life
For the normal toil of a usual soul
Kills me more than anyone will ever know

I'm withering away
Under the stars tonight
And the sun in the morning
Bakes my body, early cremation unsuspect

I have no thoughts, no soul, no joy
I live only because I know sometime soon
I won't be rising for the next day

This old body of mine
Hasn't seen the world
Doesn't know wisdom or truth
I don't know the boundaries of time
But that won't stop time from taking me forever away

3 Graves- by: unknown forgotten

There was three graves
Three men all the same
One lived, one died, and one is coming back again

On the left
Is a dead man
From outside of me
He used to live in my mind
He used to rule my life
But I left him for dead when I left that place

On the right
Is an undead man
From inside of me
A zombie that will never die
He's clawing through his coffin and digging six feet up
About the time I die he'll be set free

In the middle
Is an open grave
An empty hole in which my body will go
This living flesh decaying ever more
Inside myself, outside all at once
Living and dying simultaneoulsy with grace
Joining my past, and living anew
Two lives I've lived
And I've one more living death to go

I Was An Evil Child, I Done Good- by: unknown forgotten

I heard of a little old lady who lived down the street
I threw a firecrakcer through her window
It scared her half to death
The next day I came back to finish the job undone
I tossed another through her window
And scared her all the way to death

The police officer came to my door
Talked to my parents for hours
Someone saw a boy throwing firecrackers
Their description was the same as mine

They took me to the station
Put me in a big ol' wooden chair
Clamped down the metal straps
And pulled the switch down

Electrocuted me for 3 minutes
Zapped my body until it was half dead
When they realized I was still alive
They snapped my neck instead

Those prison gaurds never said a word
Told the coroner it was the convulsions that did me in
When those gaurds got grey and old
The self conviction was so strong
They hung themsleves for being such prudes

Death's Helpful Hand- by: unknown forgotten

Death's head dove down upon me
Drinking my soul away
Down to the depths of hell it descended
And dipped me into the dire
Fire and fury flew all around me
Fellow beings flailing about in pain
Fearing the pain will never end
And failing to realize it never will
Screams were heard all about
Sickly souls suffering beyond comprehend
Salvation was their shorthand
And forever we will pay

Almost a year has gone- by: unknown forgotten

I'd like for you to lay next to me
Under the hot sun
And just live in what once was
Because it's been so long since I've seen you
Thousands of miles of distance
Cut my vision from you
Count months, count the days
And I miss you
More than you can comprehend

Today is tomorrow- by: unknown forgotten

I rolled up my sleeves
Then I took off my shirt
Preparing for the worst
This life always hurts.

Sometimes I just want to run away into the night


...and hopefully die.

Moped Engine Head- by: unknown forgotten

I pulled a sprocket from my bag
And re-geared my life for fast speeds and downhills
The pipe and exhaust and body were tuned and sound
My carburator heart was pumping gas like it never had
And the piston in my head worked so hard
I lost my mind
The change from the tightly wound chain
And small furry of turning spokes I could no longer handle
This newly aquired speed built up and took control
Turned the world into an unstoppable blur of lights
And the speeds I reached were more than I could take
Right before I hit that car and died a horrible death
I had realized I forgot to reattach the brakes

Morning Ghosts- by: unknown forgotten

Once I finally awoke
I realized it was not me
But a ghost that had spoke
I nodded heavily and acknowledged his words
Then as he rambled on I went back to sleep

Vicissitude- by: unknown forgotten

I can not fully comprehend what has happened this last week
For what has passed and what's to come are nearly the same
Though they may be in a different place
I can't tell what the future yields
But I feel better things in these next few days
In a week I will not feel the same
For back to the suffering and toil of daily life reigns
With habits not so quickly put down
And procrastination turning and working its way around
Time is pressed up a against a dead end alley
And at this rate I will probabably just be dead

Accept Death- by:unknown forgotten

Let it course through you
Let it burn through you
Feel it rapture your soul away
As it pulls on your eyes
As it rips at your flesh
As it breaks your bones
As it crushes your lungs
There ain't no nother way to get rid of it
Than to beat it out of you
Let it course though you
I've seen others struggle
And it only makes it worse
Let it burn though you

Crimson Tides- by: unknown forgotten

Under the crimson tides
I lost my breathe
Under the crimson tide
I lost my life

Body so swollen
And full of death
Down on the bottom
With all the rest

Up from the bottom
I saw the light
And that's when Satan..
...took my life

2%- by: unknown forgotten

It sounded like milk
That echoed across the room
Unmistakable presence
The wavelengths of milk

We could tell it was no other
It portrayed a white creamy sound
Like back when I was a a child

Could it be cereal?
Or cookies a la carte?
We could not tell
But it sounded like milk

Madmen Screaming- by: unknown forgotten

I knew you weren't breathing
But the curtain blocked my eyes
And the smell of formaldihyde
Made my mind hurt and it died
It rolled into my brain like poison
And it made my mind mad

They say madmen aren't real men
As they chew through their own arm
To escape the mental traps

They come running in
With their hair all shuffled about
And the straight jacket undone
Blood pours from their nose
As they bang against the walls
Their tears show they know
That nothing can be done about it

They come running in screaming
About the voices in the walls
I yell back: "I hear them too!"
As join them in screaming out
Baggy eyes, sleepless nights
Insanity, dimentia control my life

Grrraah!
I'll come running in!
With a crazed look in my eye
Holding the head of another
And a rusted old knife

I Am Ruined- by: unknown forgotten

There is almost too much about me
That is distraught
But yet I yield it under to my subconcious
And walk the streets in oblivion
Until someone tells me
That I am in deep shit
What day shall I rise from ruin?
Thes pillars are in shambles
Just rubble and dust
And I have no idea where to start again

The Wooden Racket- by: unknown forgotten

I looked under the carpet
Only to find disaster
And unfortunate trauma

She said from the left
"What is it?"
I replied with silence
And a blank stare of disbelief

It would take 40 more
And no more cleansing abuse
Until everything was dry again

Melt Money- by: unknown forgotten

Time is such a waste
Under the red light throbbing in the sky
Melt! Singe the hairs off the filthy wealth
That infest these flowing urban areas
Pull the count to 40 more
And bask under the red sky

Rolling Thunder- by: unknown forgotten

This specific rock
Can describe my life well
Such as it rolls through hollywood
Busting up bails of hay
And the painting on its side
Graffiti from a hoodlum
Is of the planets and stars

It never stops rolling
It has crossed the country
And rolled under the sea
It rolled over the top of mountains
It only picks up speed

Ocean Specters- by: unknown forgotten

Long before the shore people
Inhabited the coastal region
It was full of ghosts

They dwelled amongst the seaweed
And hid under rocks
Until the shore people came
And hunted them all

Venom- by: unknown forgotten

If this bottle in my hand
Was something stronger
I would be a happy man

You can not see what I see because you see what you see. You can not know what I know because you know what you know. What I see and what I know can not be added to what you see and what you know because they are not of the same kind. Neither can it replace what you see and what you know, because that would be to replace yourself. Anything you see or hear or experience in any way at all is specific to you. You create a universe by perceiving it, so everything in the universe you perceive is specific to you.

-Douglas Adams

I Say Up the Latest- by: unknown forgotten

I stay up the latest
I breathe the least
I run the fastest

I destroy the quickest
I sink the heaviest
I live the slowest
I die the most

The Living Machine Named Grindtooth- by: unknown forgotten

Grindtooth was the first man I met
When I first came to this lucid place

His head shook violently with no end
As the gears in his head would turn, grind and shred

His teeth were made of rusted metal, jagged stone and broken glass
And anything drawn near them were utterly destroyed in a flash

His eyes were black and his hair dripped crude oil
His face was ghastly gruesome and his heart was made of lead

He often drank gasoline through a hole bored in his head
Apparently it kept his internal outboard motor revved

When he speaks it's only the sound of loud shrieks and metal being ground
Exhaust pours from his nostrils, as his eyes shine beams of light abroad

I've heard his skeleton is made of rod iron and piston arms
There's slice of tire where his backbone is protruding through his skin

He has aluminum siding down his mechanical leg
And his stomach is a six pack of old tin cans

Some children tried to feed him a mailbox one day
He engulfed it so quickly he also scrapped the boy's arm

What a sight it was when the police attempted to bring him in
He ate all their guns, and the bullets became part of him

I can still see him in the corner, ingesting a computer through his mouth
And the sound of crunching metal as his teeth spun and sucked it in

Since the time I met him in the junkyard, 2 weeks ago
He completely annihilated eight cars, nothing was left, not even the keys

I don't know where he came from
Or who made him at that

But I do know Grindtooth is aptly named
Because that is who he is, what he does, and that is that.
