LYRICS:

Added me to his collection
crooked cabinet, another shot glass
I vowed to forget his erection
and his clown shoe up my tiny ass
Sold me a smile and a fantasy
Every laugh so calculated
But I went hunting for a story
Served my heart, so he ate it

Now I don't blame a dog
for being a dog,  lessons tethered
But a dog can't beat a wolf
He'll be sorry he ever endeavored
Took the bait and seemed convinced
that he raped me of my sanity
Joke is- a poet's born unhinged
to report the punchline of society

(walk the dog or wear the collar...)

zig zag reality, how long can we
drown in self-deception, open
the doors of perception... and we
wolves accept and howl, beholden

Cheers to the hungry, lost dogs
I hope you find a home, you know
I hope you get a good bath-
Get shined up one day and glow
I used to be a lost dog in gloom
but I've been a wolf for a while,
returning my hunger to the moon
I don't beg. And I hunt with style

Lyrics:

You're not really such a cherry-
a cherry on top
I was never too impressed
with your sundae dress
and it's a sticky, icky mess
Take out the trash 
Just a sticky, sticky mess
Won’t you 
take out that trash;
Uninvite that ungrateful guest,
Put on some Rosanne Cash

You're not really such a good-
a good substitute
Babe, I know what's good
and I'll just skip that class
And it’s a sticky mess
Take out the trash
Just a sticky, sticky, sticky mess
Won't you 
take out that trash;
Uninvite that ungrateful guest,
Put on some Rosanne Cash

Take out that trash
Take off that Sundae Dress
Take off that Sundae Dress

I slug, slugged down
the halls of my captivating self-hate
Fought with my reflection-
Well, you know I always took the bait

Only learned to park- trailer
Never dated smooth sailers-
Sailed away with the haters
How I’d shuffle and cater…

...Back when I was HUMAN.

When I Was Human

Original Spoken Word written and performed by Casey Renee Kiser. 
©️RaVenGhost Press 2023.
Words:

I remember Him, Him 
and him 
They'd beat on their chests 
and claim my swirling-drain heart;
Claim me with echoed ego,
Mark me as 'rescued'
But every branch I'd reach for 
after that    would snap
So many branches
while they all just kept a one-track mind
...AVOID EMOTION...
I remember myself too-
Me, myself and I reporting for duty
Surely, with all my personalities,
I can get one of these motherfuckers 
to warm up around here, ha!
(words directly from my childhood trauma)
I'm lost again in my constant need to mother!

(oh, you're such a good little boy....)

Emotionally unavailable men-
sexy hearts in barbed wire lace
lit up my black hole
Can't commit, can't decide on anything
except to hold back? Well honey, 
you've got a chance with me!
Feel nothing (give a bit) Say nothing (give a bit)
Admit nothing, push-pull, PUSH-PULL
And I laugh at the fact that I never believed 
in wearing a watch
'Cause all I get is motherfuckers wasting my time

Turns out, a jungle man is an idealized good time
but they get boring faster than I can say,
OH, MY HERO...
Wearing their mommy issues like animal skin,
so they can pretend they've conquered them
Protecting the "honor" of their toxic mothers
while attempting to dodge every call, every visit
Soaking up mommy's gossip gush and rumor rush
I'd blow kisses 
while they'd throw banana peels at my feet. 
Trained monkeys!

Still, I'd wrap myself around their thumbs
(when they weren't sucking them)
Gimme more, gimme more baby, 
ANY DAY NOW...
OH YEAH, I was Jane of The Jungle,  
swinging from tiny moment to tiny moment
of which I related
Grasping tight to the in-betweens, 
the bones they threw, I'd bury deep

Getting fucked till I was pretty
by distant eyes, 
I remember when I had the energy
But I am choosing now to forget

Finally, clean and dry, I wave
good-bye to the spin cycle;
to the mucky jungle

with pitted eyes
from a cloud
above
the asylum

Yeah, 
I wear the 'crazy ex' labeL proudly.
I WORKED HARD FOR IT.

Loose but, pretends strapped, still
Living to die, grave-glitz grrrl;
Dance D3AD, give her a whirl

Shattered dreams-reigning sky swirl
Yeah, she's an asylum pearl...

Basket case splinter-sick world;
Cellar siren-soul grrrl
Cellar-sold siren world
Deep dive (for) asylum pearl
Tap in- strap in to her world
Tap in- strap in to her world

You will no longer be busy
with disrespect
You will no longer sink your teeth
into this neck
You will no longer be paid
with energy. BET
You’ll only now receive 
the reality check

Going down, down, down
in rank
Going down, down, down 
in rank
You're going down, down, down, 
down in rank-
Cause I'm THE ONE now
driving the tank

No emotion (back at cha)
Your demotion (and betcha)
You won't be causing
anymore commotion...

The Exception

Oh, my gravedigger, yeah,
Karmic one and only-
Cosmic Love so deadly
but I keep resurrecting

Just figured I’d always be
your pretty menacing-
{pretty dead} girl dancing
Your ego trip-enhancing 

My bones filthy for you
Corpse bride-moonlighting 
You look good shoveling
but I RIDE the LIGHTNING

Just another white lie 
lost on your checkerboard 
Never be your dead girl
but will always unfurl

as pretty {something}.

Pretty Something

Original track. Words:

if you think i can take
🖤DEAD TO ME🖤
- extra next level - just bet,
you ain't seen nothin' yet

wanna run your mouth
from the comfort of your couch
boy, just see where 
that gossip gets you
ghosted girl summer, well BOO

don't hate on me 
when it hits you right about 
even lower than 
you fucking rolled it out

strike 3 - no, no, no
you can't compete

(said) i got time to shout
free spirit; got no honey-do list
(said) boy, let's see where that gossip
gets you, cuz i ain't even pissed

guess we'll just see
where that gossip gets you
(x2)

gossip gets YOu

Original lyrics:

Ohh, my precious TRY HARD
I see UR at it AGAIN
SPY U there across the yard
Never know where you've been

But they beLIEve your words
'cause a SMILE hangs from them
and smiles are contagious
unless YOU KNOW the stem

IS NOT THE WHOLE FLOWER--->

And ohh, hey, my my, well,
Where there's a mess, there's fLIES
U can call me FLOWER -
she'll say, batting her eyes

I've been around ENOUGH
to just step the fuck BACK
Snap the BIGGER PICTURE-
Always get back on track

'Cause I KNOW the stem, babe
is NOT the whole damn flower
Wonder what's bloomin' there
while you SING in the shower...
