I have this habit of painting this town a drab off-white
I can hardly care anymore about the bystanders
Well I'm ready to paint my world blood red
Indifference is the master of my emotions
And if I can do so I will alter it

Merge Left- by: unknown forgotten

There’s one thing that I know
That I can’t do without
And it’s you

I’ve followed the designated path
And as I was instructed
I stayed off yours

But these roads are leading to an end
To a merge up ahead
Our loneliness ends

In due time and at good pace
If we shut our eyes now
We’ll fall blindly to embrace

There’s one thing that I know
That I can’t do without
And it’s you

Work to Win- by: unknown forgotten

There was a block of wind that came in formation
It blew me anglewise
I huddled in the rain in subordination
and violently cursed the skies

Quite a taste of dirt when you're eating it
I'm soaked to the bones and living it
Like swimming in a pool of freezing water
Buried in the snow to keep warm

Such is dogs, filthy long hair dogs
I'm breaking out in a fever drawn cold sweat
Sleep with the window open and wake up in fog
After love dreams and morbid dreams that help me repent

Sink, sink, sink
Into the nearest object to you
Lean hard and you'll melt
Press hard and don't blink
Melt into a mutant ooze
Forget everything you've ever felt

I Sink to the Top- by: unknown forgotten

Blown out of the water like two swedish submarines
Tasting the flesh of life
But sinking in tin rooms

I'm floating dead and bloated
Upon your front porch
I'm lost, I've never been here

Count my dreams and you'll see

I'm swmming to shore
I'm swimming to shore
All is left behind me
And I'm almost there

In due time.

Floral Patterns- by: unknown forgotten

The truth behold, and upholds itself
Turn your mattress over before it breaks your back
Strangers and passer-byers yell and scream and shout
Since they're you worst enemies and one best friend
Jump the fence and take all you can grab
A link between you and the taxi you never took
Pacing miles within 6 square feet
On those new shoes that jam your toes
Money down the drain and a window pane
Thinking back to that math class in which you didn't do well
Counting the marks etched in the wall
And dividing them by the amount times you heard seagulls make noise
Upon the water you accidentally stepped in it yourself
When the water rumbled forth bearing that floating dead fish
You vomited and it reminded you of that night you almost expressed yourself
And how earlier you had been hundreds of miles away in the barnacle infested depths

Timber- by: unknown forgotten

Staring at the carpet from millimeters away
I took a tour of the fabrics and spaces in between
I was sinking quickly into them
and the miniature expanse that lied there within
Peering into such a small, infinite space
I couldn't feel my face

My hands were somewhere near
Reaching for the floor but unable to locate
And hoping to brush against the bottle somewhere
Solely to stop the slowly pouring liquid escaping it's neck
And perhaps if I could stand up again
I might take another drink

My head weighed one million pounds
It pressed itself into the ground
I could feel each thread embedding it's pattern in my skin
Blood throbbing, eyes rolling back
Everything turned to black
And drool oozed out of the crack between my dehydrated lips

Not much insight
Less forthsight

All the Battles I've Faught- by: unknown forgotten

Kill the referee
His decision is wrong
I'm slicing all the ankles I can get my knife on
I still won't win this game

They handed me a shovel
Told me to dig through the concrete
Well holding this handle and scraping only sparks
I'm looking for something real tonight

Where they go we don't know
Walk that road
The cars been towed
I guess we'll walk home alone

I guess somewhere along the way
I lost my train of thought
And then I lost my train of thought

It's the difference between my eyes and your heart
My eyes look into your heart that is hidden
Your heart looks into my eyes that divert

Someday I'll see the end of the world
And you'll be a major motion picture factor in it
Acting against your will
I'll probably be there by hapenstance as I am today
But I don't try

I live in visions- by: unknown forgotten

Bread like meat
I make a mush-pot I can't eat
And even tonight
When I was awake...
Welcome, you're a bit late to my demise

Hello Sunshine, it's dark in here
I saw your face but you always wander into the other room
Hello Moon, don't shine so bright
Unless you turn your magic keys,
I've nothing to look forward in the morning.


I can't stop you in dreams.

Hello, this is my third eye, which is one dimensional
I'm looking at you but can't tell how far you are away
You're 3 feet sitting and 30 feet running away towards nothing
We can't klink glasses from such great distance

If You're Not Gone [Why Not.]- by: unknown forgotten

Everybody's going somewhere separate
Somewhere different and alone
You and I are going places
Wil you go with me?

You'll be the music
I'll be the ears
We'll sing to songs never heard
Until the very last day we get up there

If only it wasn't distance to entice
I'll love you from day one to last
I'll pay for it in blood
As long as you'll be with me in the end


Don't be afraid when your destruction leads you to no end
I, the raft that floats down the river to the falls, can sprout angel wings
I'm not afraid of midnight kisses and dyeing things
I can hear the sound of your self redemption

When my neck goes limp and my eyes force themselves shut
Yet I'm still thinking, huddled over in a sinking slump
I hear the sharp words of my soul shouting out,
"Either give up now, or get the fuck up."

If you don't think I'm sorry
Know I am
I'm still trying to figure out how life works

The climax of the white noise in life leads to either a collapse or an explosion.

Whiskey Girl- by: unknown forgotten

I need a girl
With a godly heart
And the devil's kick
With a heavenly smile
And develish looks

I need a girl who's the opposite of me
One that will stick around
Maybe teach me a few things
Like how to give a damn

I need a girl who will fuck like a hooker
And love like a wife
A girl who will take the bottle from my hand
And show me truth
Then take a swig
And hold me tight

Hello sunshine.

She's An Angel- by: They Might Be Giants

I met someone at the dog show
She was holding my left arm
But everyone was acting normal so I tried to look nonchalant
We both said, " I really love you."
The Shriners loaned us cars
We raced up and down the sidewalk twenty thousand million times

Why did they send her over anyone else?
How should I react? These things happen to other people
They don't happen at all, in fact

When you're following an angel does it mean you have to throw your body off a building?
Somewhere they're meeting on a pinhead
Calling you an angel, calling you the nicest things

I heard they had a space program
When they sing you can't hear, there's no air
Sometimes I think I kind of like that and
Other times I think I'm already there

Gonna ask for my admission
Gonna speak to the man in charge
The secretary says he's on the other line
Can I hold for a long, long time?

I found out she's an angel
I don't think she knows I know
I'm worried that something might happen to me
If anyone ever finds out

Dance with a ghost and all you're left with a is a memory of what never existed.

Glowing Statues and Talking Cielings with Life On Sidewalks- by: unknown forgotten

(Glowing Statues)
In the most precious moments of his occasional insanity
He can stop and grin wildly knowing he can escape all the ordinary moments
To peer into the stars and see silhouettes of friends as they sit home all alone
He notices that not many have experienced the wide eyed brilliance of dementia
And the ability to control it at will
Transcending the norm into a realm most persecute and hide
He revels in the moment of delusion and transcends society as he knows it
gleaming with glory, he dances about in seclusion, understanding that everyone has known what he's thinking
Though where he rises above to control the spastic emotions and the violent ability to realize everyday miracles
Most dive down into the dark world and huddle in devastation beneath a blanket of depression
He stands strong, yet staggering from booze, free of all guilty stains

(Talking Cielings)
"Well what's your name?!"
Waving his arms franticly, conducting an orchestration into a reflective window 5 feet away
Pulling off his clothes to stand fully exposed on the sidewalk to the world that hums loudly
"I know you! You look like my friends who haven't figured it out yet.
Maybe someday they'll tell you what I've said to them."
He lights up a cigarette backwards but smokes the entire thing
"The windows are shut. The floor has been vacuumed. The world outside is spinning loudly.
And my soul is humbled. So many things to say. And I've already said them."

In the distance the sound of sirens blare
Wonderful is life when your home is the sidewalk and you mind is blown
He lies down to slumber in a forsaken alley, free of all guilty stains

Cacti- by: unknown forgotten

If I wasn't so entirely involved with making my character
not only emotionally sterile, but complex and full of depth to the bones
Not to mention deaf and blind in the skull
So that he was exempt from every damned reality of a human being
Then I'd have time to discuss the intricacies of matter and of life
We'd delve into the most common misconceptions of love and religion
Converse over the changes of worldwide beliefs that coincide with great history
We'd study the stars and measure the tides of the ocean
Scrape dead rattlesnakes off the baking desert roads
And feed the vultures the fresh meat to ensure their existence

Speak of the devil
and will he not appear?
Pull the veil from my eyes
Will I not see clearly?
There is always.

Slow Drip- by: unknown forgotten

Don't drop
Once you've dropped
You've dropped and you're out for the count
And you' re dropped hard
Dropped straight into the center
Like working in a coal mine
Like trying to snap the neck of a dyeing deer
Like tossing a live grenade out of range
Like steering into a telephone pole
Like swimming into the ocean hoping to be sucked under by the riptide
You're dropped and you were the one holding yourself up
You've been dropped and you were dropped on you head
Hold you're faith in my arms
Because I'll hold you and your empty husk
I'll hold your capsule that once was life
I'll do me my best to not make sure you're never dropped

Dance Class- by: unknown forgotten

I'm loaded with anticipation
Armed to the barrel with forth sight
I'm glazed eyed by the warm wind
Blown over by the numb rubbery hands
The same ones that make me dance in my marionette like life

Dance boy
Little do those hands know
I've cut the wire long ago
Oh so long ago,
I'm salsa dancing on your dead grandma's grave

World Reknowned for Being Unknown by:- unknown forgotten

I have something else to say and you're all waiting for it
Well, I've lost touch and I'm sorry for that
I'll talk a lot and still have nothing real to say
Sorry I've no relevance to anything
I've gone beyond my means of association
Under every circumstance I'd die to say I love you
But I'm sinking in a pool of quicksand where I'd rather say nothing
Where I'd rather talk to strangers for hours
Just hoping, simply, that we'd meet again some day
In regards to you and I, to the people I've met, to the buried treasures I've found
In regards to the planets I've visited, and the towns I've walked foot in
Here I am, you know me, I am known

I'd like to mirror every wall to make existence seem endless.
And then I stop and think about it.
And agree with what I already said.

"Hold on a second."
I've been holding on
A day
A week
A couple years
I'll hold on until then

The Fly- by: unknown forgotten

Welcome to two days from now
The day after the next day of your life
Welcome to the day you'd rather destroy yourself
Than live with what life has brought

Welcome to tomorrow
The day you will meet you future love
It's too bad you will blow it by your nature
And destroy everything destiny had coming

Welcome to the tomorrow that has become yesterday
If you haven't fucked it up it already,
which you have
Then you should drink the night away

Either way, always
You're dropping like a fly
You had a couple good days in a row
But after that you quickly die

Spontaneous Combustion- by: unknown forgotten

I'm about to start spewing fire on everyone I see
I'm about to start throwing punches and breaking everyone's nose
I'm about to start saying things that shouldn't be said
I'm about to bring a hell to this earth that nobody wants to see
I'm about to start making things happen whether possible or not
I'm about to spin the world backwards simply to cause choas
I'm about to explode for so many reasons that I'm about to implode
Get ready, I'm coming ready or not

West of Eden- by: unknown forgotten

My darling,
I could kill ghost's with my sleight of hand
I could choose not to dream
That's what you and everyone else wants
You're all so misguided

I could kill all the ghosts
I could stop everyone from dieing and becoming one in Eden
But I would rather not
If we weren't all cursed or haunted
Then we'd be happy and normal
And you couldn't live without the drama
So though it doesn't seem, this is all for you

Say we were happy and normal every day
I wouldn't be able to sleep
Knowing it isn't supposed to be the truth
And then I'd only wish once again
That you'd come back to me,
Though you've never really been by my side anyway,
So all would be restored, unfortunately

The Ghost and I, a ghost- by: unknown forgotten

The night came quicker than usual
At the designated time I headed for the destination
We arrived at the exact same time and took a seat
The Ghost began talking to me
I occasionally said, or asked something
But I really didn't say anything at all
I was hardly there at all

It sat across from me and told me about the last 2 years
Where it has been and what it has done since it died
I stared through it's essence at the wall behind
Afraid to look into it's eyes and see the horror there within

When we had finished we both stood up
We did not expect to see each other anytime soon, if at all, ever again
But we said good day and we went our separate ways
We did not exchange one last glance or word
We did not turn to look back
We knew what it was all about

It can no longer haunt me anymore
The curse had been broken
If by chance I see the Ghost again,
It will be as strangers
