It's Only Murder
I shot a man in the head
and walked away
with out progression in the thought
he's dead
I'm not
the story now lies
in the ending sentence
'He'll be alright.'

Goodbye Childhood, You Will Be Missed
a unsolved rubics cube
shaking
tearing at the seams
of all in which I call
make believe
the eyes of reality
pierce my side
a death by a spear
the death of a child

This is no casual suicide
I sit in the wake
of a soon dawning day
Exhausted and beaten
from a hard day's night
contemplating a restless
suicide
If not now, surely soon
to lie in a future tomb
The great Rock 'n' Roll tragedy
I'll assume

And that's how you shit on assholes
All is nothing
Unless sold
by the pound
If it has a price
Then kill
steal,
manipulate,
seduce,
it off
another plate
When 'Dog eats dog'
You'll find me
in the kitty litter
leaving what
you'll find
on my plate

The day after cocaine
The day after cocaine
The mystery of shame
Expressing with a broken face
cracked from the nose
Hear the chorus go flat
No chance of rewind
It happened in the attic
The event of following lines
Sniffling after snorting
Snorting before sniffling
Somewhere in Central America
I made a cartel
happy

The Third Wheel
The groans
the pleading
the begging
The dirty
The sounds I hear
as the third wheel
Here I am
alone
downstairs
writing
give it to that whore
give it to her
misguided
I hear it all
I hear it
pathetically

Lying on The Therapist's Couch
Coming off the chest
and through the mouth
after a million
(probably billion)
hours
of self denial
of disastrous smiles
Can I now
fully commit
to admitting
This is hell?
The face
I grace
always stood
in the way
shooting sighs
that pierce
like armor

One Last Suicidal Prayer
Here I am now
with the reflection of a child,
crying
Wanting out of this prison
Caged in steel bars of judgement
and criticism
The pounding noise of a gavel
Manipulating my gullible ear drums
with degradation
A social rape victim
Lured by perverts with the false hope:
ACCEPTANCE
One last suicidal prayer
for the blessing of the deities of attention
Unanswered

Patience
How strange
and sad
alone
drunk
in a living room
like all living rooms
before
A mind
like a snake
slithering through
grass
desperately searching
for the solar warmth
to rest
in euphoria
But nocturnal you are
nocturnal you've become

It's A Bird, A Plane, AND Superman
I've been stabbed
in my head
again
for the rampant
thoughts that
run through it
And now the
Oppressive
try to control
my behavior
with snide and sneers
that tend to
block out my self
I steal
the wisdom that is
traded amongst the
