I got a phone call today
it was from the mannequin warehouse
they wanted me to come into work
i had already put in my hours
and my second job just went to full time
I call in sick
but i am my own boss
so no one really listens
i need motivation
with a chaser of imagination
to get over one hell of [...]

conversation?

Thats why I’m easy, easy like a Friday evening.

I’m a ghost in the shadow never mind the machine
do you ever have that feeling where you have to pee
so bad you can taste it
thats what first words had me feeling
when things became reveling
we have all been there
in our our infinite struggle
against time
unwind the mona lisa smile
all you lovely works of art
give me a chance [...]

The blue caller holla’s at halo’s

These fingers get bound but not broken
creation was our divine distinction
between man and angel
defining hero’s and zero’s
wake from your daily trance
to find familiarity
in our human race
as we are all alone
promised a finish line
be a spectator
or spectacular
its all transparent
and apparent
to proceed
and participate
if you were to wait for fate
imagine getting stood up on a date
for your eternity
in [...]

Torrid Tittles and terible love (done on the remington)

Travel many miles, to this moment
swallow it whole , this pride
we keep alive by the image of what we call love
who was it that lied? dream darling, then night has come
the cold shivers to my bones and i have no place to call home
imagine if we can for a moment, harmony
soul money soaking bloody hands
The [...]

Light it up, blow it out.

First things first, become everything you hate
its the only way to understand what you discriminate
Thats how you learn before you burn all your bridges
i have vigils for everything  left behind
in the form of cigarettes
i breath the poison in slow to make time grow
the cancer  creates it self
in the form of negative thoughts
I smash the robots [...]

Batman and Catwoman

Meanwhile on the Bohemian side of town
Underneath the veil of
the nondescript banking aura
a city laid sleeping
waiting to be awaken
centuries dead
souls needing
space to fill
signs pointing in every direction
taking only off ramps
to new destinations
uncharted land
with visions
i hold you with my hand
things are sweet smelling
the time is moving slow
and colors sweep across
and in , out and between us
moving [...]

When we become light.

Listen to this dear, before i leave your world forever
i want you to understand some things
That i am only mortal
as you are
we are both destine for death
in our disintegrating flesh suites
Lets listen, so we may be forgiven
from our insults of out-speaking
Project the image of divine white light
from a fine point perspective
i want your full attention
How [...]

Drowning in simple screams.

This is what happens with a heart built to break
every chance you take
you end up with shards of glass
till its hard to pass
a single breath from lungs to mouth
i ventured down south
for some salvation
found myself drunk and a mental patient
impatient i left when i felt adjacent
to all congruences
into the ideals of improvements
improvisational midnight movements
till the [...]

Untied shoes

Save yourself instead
i am awoken from bed
3 am. From cities i try and sleep off
exactly a year ago
(what a mess)
i almost called you my wife
but a year in strife
and silence
could never escape the sex
in our violence
what to do now?
Smoke another cigarette
one for every regret
ill have cancer by the morning
stepping outside
i will look up
thinking, man, those [...]
