dirty den

sinking into to the mud you told me the boots were waterproof
that was such a lie my soggy toes attesting
aaaaaah, i don't know how i will make it through
legs and arms committed you're withdrawing money 
out of my soft tissue
for brand-new Koenigsegg   

i am not a machine
not an atm
you're not an emperor in a diadem
think you're a god
playing astronaut
go and enjoy your second yacht 
  
there is a pain inside, not going away i can't ignore
go to see neurology is zapping me and
aaaaaah, the bill it will slash my credit score 
first of very many hits i'm going under
i learn to live with pain
for second private jet

i am not a machine
not an atm
you're not an emperor in a diadem
think you're a god
playing astronaut
go and enjoy your second yacht 

you with crocodile tears informing you don't need me no more
then i read the quarterly earnings report and 
aaaaaah you set a new record for Q4
bathing in the blood of those who bled for you, 
casual caligula
invasive animal
feral cannibal
incompatible


i am not a machine
not an atm
you're not an emperor in a diadem
think you're a god
playing astronaut
go and enjoy your second yacht

Second Yacht

street fight
down by the second stop light
it's gonna be a big night, i'm gonna grab a quick bite. 
oh no it's over
before
i exited the meat store
blue lights upon the front door
ride home'll be a big chore

processing concoction of 
some alcohol and meaty subs and 
haven't got no sense at all i'm
stumbling til morning fall    

skate park
no entry when it's gets dark
fence gap will leave a red mark
that's when we heard the dog bark
oh no its coming
towards us
fence hopping leaving more cuts
no time to catch the late bus
miles piling on my black chucks

processing concoction of 
some alcohol and meaty subs and 
haven't got no sense at all i'm
stumbling til morning fall    

last block
of a ninety minute long walk
i'm gonna get a big talk
no sleeping through alarm clock
oh no where is my  
house key
the heck did i forget these
stuff like this happens in threes
it's time to climb the tall tree

processing concoction of 
some alcohol and meaty subs and 
haven't got no sense at all i'm
stumbling til morning fall

Meaty Subs

solar injected 
that face enormous
sunrise to sunset to sunrise again

over here is a song needing words, for your ear

endless rejection 
though self inflcted
all right it's all good i'm alright, and then

over here is a song needing words, but not here

i'm writting lyrical content
aligning syllables to the beat
based on metrics there are no thematics 
there's no meaning at all
   
law firm employer 
a new position
senior media consultant at large
 
over here is a song needing words, such as

faith and law and love and dust and meat and legs and dogs and rust and cats and mice and bills and dice and beans and rice and guns and knives and 
cars and boats and pants and coats and planes and cops and books and notes and games and sports and dolls and birds and rats and cheese and dirt and worms an
angry better certain dismal edgy faded girly hostile inner joyous kinky loco manic noisy outdoor punk

A Song Needing Words

Stand Up Shaking

plain causality decline 
secret laminar design
reasonably paranoid
enigmatic nothing but static he's stuck inside an uzu-

-maki, unending spiral, an astrophagous*
rocky unnerving cliffside and missing pages
second to appartion a carbon copy
check in under the cushion it's uzumaki

faces hard to recognize
in the mirror in his mind
spaces liminal abound
cerebellum but should we tell him his mind is in an uzu-

-maki, unending spiral, an astrophagous*
rocky unnerving cliffside and missing pages
second to appartion a carbon copy
check in under the cushion it's uzumaki

riding on the train, heading home, stepping down and  
riding on the train, heading home, stepping down and heading home

it's uzumaki, unending spiral, an astrophagous*
rocky unnerving cliffside and missing pages
second to appartion a carbon copy
check in under the cushion it's uzumaki

riding on the train, heading home, stepping down and  
riding on the train, heading home, stepping down and
riding on the train and heading home

*totally made up word combining prefix astro (celestial body) with suffix phagous (eating) - so it sorta means something that eats like stars and planets and stuff - cosmic horror nonsense. also if it actually was a word, it would rhyme with esophagus. But then I'd lose both the rhyme and the meter. and that will NOT serve.

UZUMAKI

grey, greyscale in front of my eyes
no reason why, waiting for solar reprise
red, see it wherever I go
temper ego, rage coming in stereo 

saturation too much
i'm  tuning it all the way down 

green, envy is ugly as sin
my skin is thin, hollow and made out of tin
blue, sadness is such a cliché
brush it away, gonna buy me a bidet

saturation too much
i'm  tuning it all the way down

i know a fable about elves - do it all for you
i know a fable about elves   

i know a fable about elves - do it all for you
it's like medication; there's a price: no mountain of shoes
i know a fable about elves - do it all for you
it's like medication; there's a price: no mountain of shoes
i know a fable about elves - do it all for you

A Fable About Elves

hearing the words as they leave my lips
knowing they'll be sinking my ships
personal apocalypse 
mindlessly rambling night and day
never typical things i say
chasing all the homies away 

dumbtown wearing a dumb crown top of a dumb gown makin a dumb sound mayor of
dumbtown wearing a dumb crown top of a dumb gown makin a dumb sound 

who utters drivel like that out loud
check me out, i brought a rain cloud
and the only reply is "wow.:/"
is there a class in not being dumb
if there is i'm getting me some
to escape rhetorical slum

dumbtown wearing a dumb crown top of a dumb gown makin a dumb sound mayor of
dumbtown wearing a dumb crown top of a dumb gown makin a dumb sound 

In my head I am butler yeats
got more rhymes than Chili's got plates
I should stick to the written word
got more puppets than thunderbirds

my lyrics? lets just say no great shakes
like no eggs when making a cake
but they're much more easy to fake
how do i say to her 'i like you' 
without belching out 'i love you'
want to hit my head with a shoe

dumbtown wearing a dumb crown top of a dumb gown makin a dumb sound mayor of
dumbtown wearing a dumb crown top of a dumb gown makin a dumb sound mayor of
dumbtown wearing a dumb crown top of a dumb gown makin a dumb sound mayor of
dumbtown wearing a dumb crown top of a dumb gown makin a dumb sound

Mayor of Dumbtown

something's waiting at my door, ostentatious package
carve it open with a knife, causing wreckage
 
two ninety-nine set on fire with match that i 
lit, idiot, i am unsuitable, and i
seem to repeat the thrill of defeat
i ate from the idiot tree

found myself beside a gem, gracious and magnetic
i get bored too easily,  took for granted

lifetime of happiness thrown in the bin with the 
trash, i'm an ass, i am unsuitable, and i
seem to repeat the thrill of defeat
i ate from the idiot tree
  
isolation suits me well, better in confinement
what could possibly go wrong, not my eyebrows

lost to the sink, i can't think without writing it 
down, i'm a clown, i am unsuitable

ahhhhhhh (x4)

so i seem to repeat the thrill of defeat
i ate from the idiot tree
once and again is coincidence
but this many times is a meme

look like a gecko with bags under eyes quali-
fies for a prize, i am unsuitable so a-
gain and again, i'm a heel of a man
buried alive by my hands , and I  
seem to repeat the thrill of defeat
i ate from the idiot tree 

The Idiot Tree

nothin about this is right
the stranger my acolyte
deluge both inside and out
power is what it's about

i'm seeing messages
something about the eggs
that only i can see
unnerving mystery 
 
no more spirit energy
the sleeper coming for me
the faceless in for us all
viscera drips from the wall 

torrential raining here
two of you disappear
the body company
for my insanity     

it freezes into snow
there's nowhere left to go
hallucinations rise
no longer trust my eyes

the river rushing in my head
no matter sleeper want me dead
to take my body for her own
and bring about devastation

a hero rises from the page
his valor ends her bloody rage
it's not over i can't pretend
active participation ends

if i come out alive
your precious soul will die
predicament is clear
it's ending now and here

and so i do endow
it is your body now 
i've got a card to play
see you another day
