Torment Edit 1

Written by James Geer

In the ocean of my mind
From subconscious deep
A storm may come my way
Troubling my sleep
 
I’m Skirting the abyss.   
My Circumstances dire 
What has wrought me this
Circling the gyre

And crashing are the waves
And howling is the wind 
I find I’m save at bay
When I reach for you again

When thoughts of empty years
When I had lost at love
Attack my inner peace
Like hailstones from above

Safe at bay

Improvised Slide Guitar with added Synth Bass

Flutter away
Tiny bluebird
Flutter away
To your nest
Flee from the one
Who stalks the garden
Seemingly Without rest

Crouched unseen
On an agile frame
Designed to pounce
And kill or maim

Scurry away
Tiny chipmunk
Scurry away
To your hole
Flee from the one
Who stalks the garden
With fur as Black as coal

Snakelike eyes
Honed for prey
Incisors
Designed to slay

Run away
Little squirrel 
Run away
To your tree
Flee from the one
Who stalks the garden
Unseen and Silently

lightening paws   
With razor claws
Sharpened teeth
In lethal jaws

Where have you been my dear kitty  
What did you do today
Snuggle and purr
As I stroke your fur
Entertain me as you play

Kitty

Written by James Geer

 I wish that I had
A vodka and ginger ale
But I’m glad that I have
The vodka anyway

I wish that I had
A little bit of cocaine
But I’m glad that I have
A love who sustains

I wish that I had
An elbow of weed
But I’m glad that I have
Everything else I need

I wish that I had
At my behest.  
The things I’ve confessed
A round of Sussex‘s best
For the Grey Hounds and all the rest

Vodka and ginger ale

Written by James Geer

Over here the customs seem so strange 
Over here my words gets disarranged 
Over here I’m bothered all the day
Over here I want to get away

I’ve been missing
I’ve been missing
Home

Over here the accents are so deep
Over here the hills are way too steep
Over here the forests overgrown 
Over here I’m virtually alone

I’ve been missing
I’ve been missing
Home

Over here

LYRICS
Our past is gone: poof, no goodbye 
The last line drawn: truth, knowing why
What dreams we had; quaint, large and small
What seemed so bad ain’t far at all

Our future's found: four circles deep
Come slosh around; more misery reaped
What woes occurred: cursed, fate foreseen
What does the word "worst" even mean? 

A fitting gloom: stark, rank and sour
A fetid tomb: dark, dank and dour
We should have known how ends begin
This is our home now; settle in
Settle in
