Heartbreaker
"HeartBreaker"
December 2009
Give your mouth a rest and stay the fuck out of my sight. Get your hands off my back and allow me to open my eyes just this once. You're not right, But i'll agree if it makes you stop. I'm done with all these complaints. Just shove me back in.
*
The lack of success is killing me one day at a time. Surrounded by all this incompetence and false forward movement. All the constant revisions for something so uncurable. Wrong all along. Go back and fix everything I wrecked and everyone I broke. Just stop. Stop reminding me of all everything I've ruined.

Defenestration
"Defenestration"
November 2009
*
Seems like you're in it for all the wrong reasons.
We heard all about it. Good for you.
I've seen the pictures of you with all of them.
Dear god, I've even read your horrendous work.
I always ask myself how is it that anyone can buy your bullshit. A faceless name in another fucking book.
Then I know that it's all about who you know.
*
With the clock watchers and swaying trucks, i'm down here.
Waiting on line inside my miserable monotonous shell.
A green eyed monster dressed in confused anger.
Looking up in the hopes of seeing your grand fall.
Passing each story finally makes some sense.
Praying for that latest disappearence.
*
It was never enough for me, or maybe it was too much.
The drilling keeps me from spelunking passed what was.
If it were only easy to forget my greatest fear.
Out like rubbish. Down to cold twisted reality.
When I jumped none of it mattered to anyone.
*
You're so high up there. Ever so mighty.
Needing all the premeditated attention and attitude.
Audacity should never be confused with courageousness.
When you finally leave your tower it should be through glass.

Winter Heart
"Winter Heart"
November 2009
There's a deep freeze coming from the right.
Salvation lies to my left tonight.
If ever I doubted progress it was due to rain.
Blurring windows from seeing passed the chain.
No longer cursed like some gorgeous beast.
Lightning struck wildly from the East.
I've let myself fall through the toss and turn.
By another's painful slowing burn.
The sorrow we shared will never compare.
The others would never know and wouldn't care.
Back then it seemed like the thing to do best.
Traveling over lies heading further West.
The outer shell remains cold and blue.
Yet inside awakes something tepidly true.
The burns subside when we smother.
As we learn new rhythms from each other.
Racing passed centuries via the forth.
Through the veins flowing way up North.
A winter heart thawed out by greed.
With a different variation and greater speed.
It has us fighting another skillful bout.
The core now warm with lesser doubt.
Straight inside your eagerly awaiting mouth.
Through parellel lines running due South.

Functioning Adults
"Functioning Adults"
October 2009
It was fed to you and you ate it without knowing where it came from. Never thinking about why you wanted it and what it is now doing to you.
...and she loves you for it ?

Fucking Clutter
"Fucking Clutter"
October 2009
You brought up that mess between you and me.
In the time where left for dead was you.
The lonely mayhem drove you mad.
Now you're stark raving sad.
All your fire to melt my head, chest, and thighs. Forcing me to cross my fingers, legs, and eyes.
You used to wake me just to break me.
After all it's just me... and then you.

Downbound and Absurd
"Downbound and Absurd"
October 2009
And I know that it's true
All the fire has burned through
Well you know i've played so hard
And the light grows so dim
And my time's getting slim
All the words just don't mean much
And I know i'm saying goodbye
And I know that i'm going down to die
In my heart there's a wind
And it swirls up a din
It's so loud It drowns my mind
Till the coin that I pass
To the ferryman's grasp
Lets me leave my pain behind
So I part And i'm oh so cold
And I hope to release my heart
Better leave while my song still calls
It's the truth
That i'm going down to die
"Going Down To Die" Lyrics by Glenn Danzig

Tell Them What You Told Me
"Tell Them What You Told Me"
September 2009
Clothes were all over the floor and the ceiling had been ripped off. They had been left alone to play until they fought tooth and nail. Told to eat whenever they got tired and sleep when they got hungry. Spending years in disagreement and celebrating their disgust. These siblings who were dead-set against compromise had been deprogrammed after so much time apart. As family they did not stand a chance.
Houses were purchased over thier future heads. There they were joined together by some near fatal tragedy. With their differences now being their similarities. Invisible walls were destroyed in solidarity. The past had been buried along with any grudge. Facts alone were enough and why never mattered again. As friends they stood to inherit an infinite bond.
