Wise in worldly ways?

I'd rather be a fool

Who dies honest anyways

A handful of heat, coffee tastes sweet in the bottom of the mug

Splayed out, dissected human bug, body chopped and tugged

Catalogue my suffering, patch me together with hemp twine

Ignoring every sign and warning, falling is soaring interrupted

A life defined as loveless, a body bled out bloodless

This mud is sticking to my brain again, no way to win

Don't you hate it when it don'...

Hello old friend

I want nothing to do with you

But here I am searching you out

Hello old friend

I thought you left so long ago,

But here you are, crying

It must be a dream

Brain letting off stream

Sanity flowing down stream

Southbound or bust

By rubber or rust

Getting nowhere on trust

I’ll crawl if I have to, not even fuss

Turned mean as a...

Call a therapist or write your suicide note
Either way you're going to have to decide
To live or to die, because I don't feel like I'm living
Or will be much longer
If I keep sitting and spinning in the dirty corners of my room
Cobweb brain breaking free for the first time in a while
Still feel like I'm walking in the dark next to a chasm
Butterflies and needles in my stomach, Nicorette unt...

Why do I keep coming to these places?
Attempting to siphon something into this void
Vicarious joy, vicarious hope, still dream of the rope
Can't cope with this anymore, the wound is forever sore
I'm getting sick of trying, lying to myself a bit more
Fuck your good health, choke on your worthless wealth
Burn down another Newport, the tenth or twelfth

A shot of whiskey for the rain
A shot of whiskey for the pain
My efforts to stay insane
Let's take one for the rain

Burning down another menthol smoke
Pulled from packs like dirty jokes
Learning that it's all or broke
Flick away that butt and croak

All to be said was spoke
Between us in the end
But something brings back memories
Which I cannot defend, that send me

To places gone,...

Seventy eight cents accelerated into a slapped palm
A nod between us to prepare this nickle dime handoff
Passenger in this body behind a wheel
Slave to yellow white blurs on blacktop
Can't stop thinking I should drive up all the roads I drove down,
Manic around town, sporting a frown
Like a clown with mismatched shoes
Filling blank space with blues and booze
No cruise control to pull me do...

Voices overlapping
Drinks spilling
Cigarettes smoked
Eyes cast down
Looking into nothing
Bottom of a glass speaking in tongues
Words cut rough on broken glass
Plastic cups melting on your lips
Pop the filter, suck the poison
Repeat
They're mixing up the bones
I hear them clacking between cracking old fingers
Sitting on the edge of joy
Trying to suck up some piece of it like a campfire...

Crown Royal in a Coke can, warm rain fills the midnight blackness
Sitting on the flight deck among the tie-downs, staring into the wake
Something inside me says to jump, blind and mindless, deep into this Indian ocean

Rifles in a pile, triple canopy and palm groves
A beach made of trash
I stand in this screaming greenery, something inside me says to walk
Lose myself in this impenetrable,...
