Drink My Tears

I'm the one who runs from the sun

I'm the sinner I'm the killer I'm the one with the gun

I feel your eyes burning holes in my skull

Read my mind take your time tell me am I dull?

Tell me darling am I cool?

Ride my bike everyday, everyday to school

I'm a believer in nonsense words

I'm in a bind I can't find, can't find my curse

I don't wanna know how the things you know

Every day is a puppet show

I feel you dreaming about my fears

Come on now darling drink my tears

I'm so dirty must be insane

Grow out my hair play guitar call me Kurt Cobain

Tell me darling what was your clue?

Was it the holes in my clothes or my mismatched shoes?

Everydays a happy day

Draw in the sand clap my hands and play patty cake

Sit in the corner and tie my noose

You Don't care if I'm kidding cause you can't lose

Economics 101

Kill for oil and money

Rain prophet till it's sunny

Then dance in the shade of a mushroom cloud

Steal for rich man's glory

Another twisted story

Of the innocent fed to the hound

The Cost of War

Sirens wail

Whistles blow

Bullets hail

Deaths grow

Men march with their hearts at home

Their fear starts but no stopping: they go

It's getting cold

Numbers less

Not so bold now

But won't confess

Friends gone

Are their deaths justified?

They say we've won

But no one feels glorified

Organized Distraction

Lines crossed

Ideas tossed

Dots connect

Minds to collect

Left foot first

Or no one will quench your thirst

Right foot next

If not, you fail the test

March for freedom

Salute for rights

Though it's seldom the goals in sight

Say My Name

I'm addicted to the way you say my name.

I'm lost in the storm, and it slips through the rain.

Kisses my ears, and seeps into my brain.

Engulfs my heart and erases pain.

Soothes my soul until I become tame.

I'm addicted to the way you say my name.

And as I hear it again, I know not one tear will have been in vain.

Love And Life

What is the difference between love and life?

All things grow: nothing stays the same.

And nothing changes without some strife.

Red roses wilt to black; nothing remains.

And so my flame will dim, and I will die.

But not my love; it shall go on.

Into your soul I do confide.

And if you accept, the battle is won.

You are the difference between love and life.

Twice as Bold

She was ready for the bullet but the bullet couldn't kill

Under pressure under time we did it for the thrill

Look to the back of my mind and see my dreams turning still

Tell me what did you find in that form of a pill

Tell me what is true tell me is this real

Is it all in my head making me feel what I feel

Open wounds in my chest tell me how can I heal

When the needle in my veins only give me a chill

You've got no place to go

They say it's time you fold

Can your heart be sold?

That flame it grabs a hold

That feeling in your soul

You'll come back twice as bold

Come on everybody tell me what do you see

I'm so happy I don't know what you mean

Breathe in the clouds my head up above

Blood drops from eyes and a kiss from a dove

Exiled to Earth

You know that I'm no angel, and I know neither are you

I don't see stairs to heaven, and the devil hates me too

You know that I'm no angel, and if what you say is true

We're all exiled to earth, and I've got nothing to lose

The Help I Need

I'm not perfect but you see me through

And when I'm wrong you make me true

You helped me up and then I knew

I'd never run out of reasons

to love you

Comfort

If the rain should fall on the thoughts of my head, Id reside in the shade given by your heart.

Instead of cold saturation, id feel the vibration of the thunder while under your comfort and start to wonder if there was ever anything to fear.

I hear the storm pass and I ponder; the past forgotten and the present protected: The future I begin to peer.
