Posted: 10/3/2006 8:28:03 PM | i am the wicked witch
wanton lady, painted whore
laced with a little b*tch
til i can't stand me anymore
been throwin off tantrums
trying to get put on some meds
just for a break from ho-hum
make my insides just go dead
reviving all the entities
that claim to live with in
they know the very scent of me
expressing all my sins
trying to find a way out
when in's all i can be
looking for something to talk about
instead of plain old me
ha ha plain? yeah ok
thought i'd through that in
just to see what you would say
crazy's where i've been!
i go there everyday
and do a little dance
they know me well in la la land
i put them in a trance
they get so wrapped up in me
they never do take heed
when i pull my b*tch out
and fill my every need | |

| but all the lights are burning
Posted: 10/3/2006 10:05:41 PM | there's a fire that's lit
down in the side of me
i never show to anyone
for fear they'll set it free
or extinguish it
whatever suits thier taste
the flames been burning long
before
my time became a waste
wanting to wither away
yet still be in the game
i think it would be better
if i never knew my name
releasing all my demons
on the likes of thee and thou
forgetting all the past mistakes
by repeating them right now
in a rush to change the world
in a purple-haze induced crowd
i misplaced my crown of thorns
when the music got too loud
i forgot where i was meant to be
just turned around and quit
this lady never tires
but she sure gets sick of it
it's all in the game
the fame, the shame,
repeating what's been said
making strong minds go lame
with a good knock to the head
trying to find the words
to make the supermarket streak
running too fast to catch the bus
with the yellow-bearded freaks | |

Posted: 10/3/2006 10:16:44 PM | i'm always on the edge of my seat

Posted: 10/3/2006 10:39:13 PM | that was too funny ,but I know I'm gonna pay
sometimes my mind works before I have my say
and no one knows this better than either you or I
if words just left me coldly you know what I would do
I'd write my love in numbers so I would remember you and you and you and you and you
and you do it too It's not to anyone's surprise its true
but I know and you know one and one don't make two
now that was a nick a plain and simple hook took
was never mine to thieve but I ain't writin no book
so sue me mother hubbard go on and stake your claim
when your so fukt up your sideways you'll have no one else to blame but you and you | |

god made man to have someone to believe in him
man made god to have god make him in his own image
god is his own man and man is his own god...my god man
this is where things get serious
and we talk all about those thoughts that trouble us
discussing us ,the obvious and things that come between us
we amuse ourselves with little things we can't explain
but its just business ,just business as usual
business unusual as usual
Go ahead and say it
my head got turned
it's not a trick
or suicide
its just a scar
I hide inside
of me ,of you
theres not a thing
we have to do
you over played it
and you got burned
take your pick
you reply
its just a scar
I hide inside
of you ,of me
theres not a thing
we have to be
and I feel like
I fell here before
I'm jumpin through hoops again
I'm passed out at your door
I can't be like
you imagined me before
keeping it to myself my dear
I can't take it no more
We display it
its overblown
this takin shyt and choosin sides
I can't abide , petty pride
I could try ,catch a ride
some shooting star ,passing car
its just a scar ,its just a scar
I hide inside
of me ,of you
and everything you do
you do to me
make me feel
feel like I've fallen here before
jumpin through holy hoops of flames
i'm spread out on your floor
but it can't be like you wanted it before
I keep to myself ,keep it clear ,right here
I can't take it no more
no more | |

This is similar to that time out west
when Janey and Donnie tattooed their chests
branded with emblems of the Sioux nation
they tried to settle a reservation
Camped on the mountain with a dome tent
so sure that no one saw where the went
sleep was easy on that cool summer night
until they woke to a sound from the right
the shadows fell like rain
hazing recurring pain
as time just seemed to stop
like when you see a cop
no good could ever come
from this end of a gun
you'll only have to run
and that won't be much fun
Damn it Donnie did our campfire go out
what is that thing that's scurrying about
doesn't it know that we have fire arms
or maybe it thinks well fall for its charms
Janey sweet love I can see glowing fire
yet this chill is making me want to acquire
protection from elements that can't exist
either I'm still asleep or we really got pissed
the shadows fell like rain
hazing recurring pain
as time just seemed to stop
like when you see a cop
no good could ever come
from this end of a gun
you'll only have to run
and that won't be much fun
Those flashes of light are right in our tent
the flap is still closed and so is the vent
they're dancing around and even through you
Holy crap babe ... they're through me too
We must have squatted on sacred ground
Donnie ... can't you hear those earie sounds
its like a stereo playing inside my brain
singing "get da fuk out n don't come back again"
the shadows fell like rain
hazing recurring pain
as time just seemed to stop
like when you see a cop
no good could ever come
from this end of a gun
you'll only have to run
and that won't be much fun

Posted: 10/4/2006 7:23:11 PM | i fell so hard, like
i've felt this before
trying to ring the hoops around
the battlescars i bore
the imagination
can do things i can't explain
the darkness clouds my vision
i'm losing yet again
you can't take it anymore
when you're passed out
at my door
that leads to my confusion
of lonely nevermore
feeding the seeds of
emptiness
to lost and hungry minds
revealing just enough to show
you're a madman deep inside
the scars are just reminders
of when and how and where
no one needs to look
at what you keep in there
only if you show it
to every one who wants a peek
then, you'll be the lonesome one
tryin to play the sneak
..................................
whew, man, needed myself a minute
without the life i live so well
throwin up all in it!
off to the supermarket
just another day in the grind
look out! look out! it's falling
i think i just lost my mind
...............................
was listening to Rob Thomas today
Bent is a helluva song
revealing if you really listen

| know where you're bound
Posted: 10/4/2006 7:48:24 PM | Carry on young man,
got to do what you can.
Never fold, always stand tall,
got to rise, before you fall.
Don't let fear hold you down,
have to know where you're bound.
Tell you a story about a man,
who was afraid to succeed.
Never really did understand,
cuz he never paid any heed.
Tried to look too far down the line,
his vision became burred.
Started losing his mind,
but no one saw, no one heard.
But as the disease of failure grows,
he tried to take the bull by the horns.
He tried to reach the beauty of the rose,
but he was blocked by the thorns.
Threw his hands in the air,
he couldn't take it anymore.
And as his mind started to tear,
he closed the door.
Turned his head to the heavens,
thought of all the things he never see again.
And with the cold metal of a 357,
brought it all to an end.
So remember....
Carry on young man,
got to do what you can.
Never fold, always stand tall,
got to rise, before you fall.
Don't let fear hold you down,
have to know where you're bound.
Ya, have to know where you're bound... | |

| My Rain Song
Posted: 10/5/2006 2:31:53 PM | We were living in a dust bowl
just about to burst into flame
with the crack and flash of lightning
you'd think there'd be a chance of rain
but the planters say its too late
cause the lands all torn to shreds
and just about the time for chances
we heard a whisper from the rain
The jobs have been fading daily
and the dollars just getting worse
with all those guns aimed at Arabia
you'd think we could drive to work
the politicians say be patient
as the world keeps counting down
It just might be time for cover
looks like we're heading for a storm
It's like I've never known you
you disappeared into my past
I have mourned for so seldom
sometimes I even laughed
I didn't even know I missed you
until you called and told me to
and just when I thought it was over
the rain started pounding down
pounding down on me | |

Posted: 10/5/2006 7:27:32 PM | as i lie awake tonite
dreaming of fate tonite
you're lying close to the wall
did i hear you rite when you
said that i'm meant for you
baby i'm taking the fall
what's real or imagined i
don't really know if i
know the truth behind your lies
my back's to the wall can you
feel the strain holding you
feeling like love's paralyzed
and i won't hold it against you
if you feel like you have to run
i feel the pressure, i feel the pain
i see we're coming undone
take me there, baby play
to your secret hidaway
the place where you go when you're gone
make me feel whole again
hold me til time gives in
remember me out on your own
and i know this is going bad
don't want it to end like that
say you'll stay, baby don't go
look in these eyes and tell
if you can see lonely's hell
am i just too scared to know
and i won't hold it against you
if you feel like you have to run
i feel the pressure, i feel the pain
i see we're coming undone
and i won't hold it against you
if you feel like you have to run
i feel the pressure, i feel the pain
i see we're coming undone | |

| Moment of silence
Posted: 10/5/2006 7:32:09 PM | As the minutes of your day,
pass on by.
Do you ever stop,
and take a moment of silence,
to think of me?
We were solid, we were strong.
As more and more,
we became one.
And I always thought,
we were meant to be.
All those rides, we took in my car.
Down deserted roads,
it was so far.
But I was content,
just you and me.
And the times we went dancing,
cheek to cheek.
And our hearts,
they seemed to be beating,
in perfect harmony.
And no matter how crowded a room,
we were always alone.
Just you and me.
And our feeling were there,
for anyone to see.
Then those times I stayed at your home,
we knew what would come,
when night would fall.
Spending our nights together,
came naturally.
We shared a feeling, don't wanna call it love.
But I know inside,
we were touched from above.
And it was overwhelming,
I was in ecstasy.
But then you went your way, and I went mine.
Without good-byes,
we parted ways.
And from time to time, I wonder,
what could have been?
Now I have someone new in my life,
I've carried on,
I've found a way.
But I still take a moment of silence,
to think of you. | |

Posted: 10/5/2006 7:41:09 PM | awesome, looknc.....
truly magic moments
locked in the trunk of time
escape their shackles now and then
to float aboard my mind
the days we would go walking
hand in loving hand
you said you'd always be there
then failed to take your stand
nights we loved til dawn
with passion of lover's unleashed
we drank in each other
then quickly tired of the feast
out playing in the rain
getting wet was our excuse
to hold on to each other
til we tightened up that noose
we let it go, you and i
just let life pass on the highway
without a thought i left
now the pain is coming back my way
down deep i'm sorry i left you
i woulda, coulda, shoulda tried more
i never looked back to say i'm sorry
as i went running out your door | |

Posted: 10/5/2006 8:16:05 PM | to come to me ,run to me
let me make a fool of me
come see ,its you and me
lookin out our windows
its the middle of the night
my heart is empty
doesn't seem right
stand up on tiptoe
look out your window
you feel something scary
thats what I see
makes me so weary
I've seen you wondering
thinkin I'm in distress
I'm wondering too
did you go and miss
me lookin back at you
did that fail to impress
now you're lookin at me
it's the height of the day
my soul so empty
I can't hide it away
I'm wondering
did I lose my mind
gone and won
close the blinds
I'm on the run
crossed the line
that got you wondering
is there something you missed
in a state of distress
do you have a window
are you in a state
you can't discuss
we keep it between
just the two of us
ever wonder
about the quite obvious
if you think this sounds scary
you too could be weary
just like me
lookin out your window
wondering | |
|
| Moment of silence
Posted: 10/5/2006 8:17:50 PM | it's all smoke and mirrors
the truth we try to see
we tame our ways, in our haze
forgetting what we need
how about a better version
of what i could never become
the perfect little princess
in the land of ho and hum
clean and sparkly language
dripping from my lips
forget the heat, the passion
the moves that could sail ships
i'll attempt the docile, dormant
the life i should have lived
i'll escape my land of make believe
and the pleasure it could give
i'll lay low and silent
be the me you want outside
but on the in, this hell i'm in
i'll swallow it with my pride
///////////////////////////////
i can pretend i'm normal
i can even be the same
as all the fools around me
losing at the game
i can say i've lost a few
but, i won a few as well
these fisticuffs, they know me
and lived to tell the tell
they may be broken
but, they're just bleeding from the mind
one day i'll show the real me
leave them scrambling behind
trying to catch up with me
and the fabled tale of tells
as i sit back on my throne of thorns
ringing the victory bell | |
|
| time is waiting
Posted: 10/5/2006 8:28:41 PM | there are no lines
that can be crossed
to make the time
seem like we've lost
medicine for the weary
lovesongs for the blue
wondering leaves you
wondering
if somehow time got you
locked up tight
in chains i can't replace
i looked out my window
tonight
and only saw your face
lingering outside my
window
wearing an inviting grin
come to me, stay with me
be my secret sin
you said it all
and you never had to say
a word
the shadows of night have
lifted
whispering what we should have
heard
time waits for no man
but i do
i wait and wait
hoping to make
some sense of
baby blue
heavy hearts and sorry
eyes
there's magic in the
making
there's no regrets,
let's not forget
i'm yours for the
taking | |

Posted: 10/5/2006 8:34:14 PM | you're such a cotton candy
such a willing vamp
I wish that I could string you
and plug you in my amp
you smooth me in the morning
then bring me tea in bed
you burn my toast to cinder
then hide it in strawberry jam
you talk in butterfly whispers
you're the petal on the rose
you cool my heels in impatience
and don't even seem to know
you rock me ever so gently
you're to blame and understand
you make it look impossible
then hide it in strawberry jam
you're such a classy act
when you play the dirty girl
a mechanic of the heart
at home with power tools
someday I'll come and find you
and hope you know who I am
cause no one tastes better than you
when you're covered in strawberry jam | |
|
| come frolic in the daisies
Posted: 10/5/2006 8:50:23 PM | i could get lost
in your eyes
if i let myself
throw away my
disguise
run like hell
find the coldest room
in the broken home
huddle there til morning
then run til runnin's done
til i find myself covered
in strawberry jam
burnin your toast at breakfast
play it again, sam
i'll burn the tea, too
i'm not good at girly things
except the games at
dinner time
this angel has red wings
.....................................
forget the rest
i've got some pie
dipped in maple syrup
honey coated melodies
with words to match
the drum
dripping sweat from lilacs
bodies going numb
fingertips and eager lips
exploring deep inside
there is no stopping on this
train
sit back and enjoy the ride | |

| its about you
Posted: 10/6/2006 5:12:12 PM | its a wild one ,let me spell it in a song
drugs would help ,either get off or get on
but holy shit Johnny stop the wine
for just a little while be a smile
its not always gotta be about you
an elfin nymph demands a show of shows
a victim smiles a sparkle shes in the know
enter the amazon blond and its mine
and in a little while I'll see her smile
its not always gotta be about you
I too have seen the charlatan professing belief
slippin in backholes and berthing in holy leaf
colouring their words with psychobabble thou
all so yellowed they're Homer having a cow
Shyt I'll be the clown I'll put that plastic hat on
I'll visit your town next time I'm kickin around
you can bet on it ,put me down for two
its not always gotta be about you
this is where the drugs do their best work
cause you know you're fukt and that hurts
you had a friend who might try might listen
but your flippant fantasies put that to an end
it's always gotta be about you
this ain't the first time ,others left their tracks
I smell it on you ,you wear it like an attack
this is it ,the happy ending a relief of sorts
taking the better half to amputate in court
and thats just what you needed to do
it's not ever gonna be about you | |
|
| its always about me
Posted: 10/6/2006 7:32:11 PM | didn't you get the memo
was the fax too fuzzy to read
the one that declared me important
that outlined my outdated needs?
of course it's all about me
and her and her and her
i take it all like it's aimed at me
til the tears build up and it blurs
////////////////////////
ha ha ha ha hee hee hee
i'm laughing cause i'm in the know
i bought a clown to ride to town
to take in a broadway show
he frolicked in the daisies
he bit the bit real well
when i tried to mount
his saddled-back
i leaned left too far and fell
now my horsey-clown is laughing
i guess he's in the know
it's not what you can do with it
baby, it's all in the show
..........................................
falling all around
the fairy-tellin dream
spilling words i laced with poison
make your ears want to scream
we all have sorry hearts
at the end of the day
we spill them out, spit them out
jump out of the fray
unravel the threads
that hold our minds together
then, laugh a little while
at the scene of now or never | |

Posted: 10/6/2006 10:59:22 PM | I'm so hard done by
and I can't change my mind
it's a problem of mine
but at least I got something
you're impossible
in every possible way
just in the way you say
you don't mean nothin to me
and that sets me free tee hee hehehe
then there's the problem
warm on the inside
but oh so long away
unavailable at a moments notice
still the only working part
but at least its a start
theres applause in my head
a little sreaming too
{tool shed tool shed coolerheads}
prevail its the only way
accept the abuse
curse the sun that comes undone
for fun cumunglued
its so rude I like it too
thats it for now its it for now
and we need it we feed it
clearly there's no short answers
there's just ways to say them
and I say its the end | |

Posted: 10/7/2006 12:08:15 AM | Forgotten wanderers come in the night
Yet do not awaken her until first light
They wait by the door on the old wooden chair
But she raises one eyelid, she knows they’re there
To teach them respect and to honour her gifts
She waits till the sun rises and gracefully lifts
Her down covered body up out of her nest
And with welcoming arms lays them to rest
She patches their wounds and sorrows she hears
Of mens broken hearts their pain and their fears
Bullets removed and arrows pulled through
Slashes stitched up, all this she’ld do
While fixing the fire and setting the bread
‘cause before the days over they’ll have to be fed.
She hears all their stories and wipes all their tears
And heals all the shame they’ve held all those years
She Feeds them and warms them and loves them and then
Sends them back down to earth to be born once again. | |
