guts

cut yer guts out.

burn yer house down.

speak soft there're traitors around.

less time than you think,

and more hunters

with sharp wit.

i saw them coming

but still tripped.

chew my bones girl.

i came here just for you.

we would look good sleeping with the fishes.

smokin sea weed.

blowin bubbles.

couldnt help but to

forget yer toubles.

I imagine

i imagine

that i could go for some romance.

something like in these songs

people write about girls with long legs and young breasts.

something fast and electric.

i want to drink myself to death listening to music.

with scratches down my back.

killing me softly with this glass pipe.

maybe my ears will quit on the job.

and i wouldn't be interupted any further,

your stupid voice breaking my thoughts in half.

i would sing.

silently about girls in love.

and pretend to be attentive to your ramblings.

finally free, like that blood red bull

with the broken neck.


hells yes

now it seems like salvation
is slipping............ through my fingers
heaven never felt further
than now
doomed...........
my judgement pending
hanging
looming
the godless giggle with grimacing grins
but I was born a servant
a slave

chan

I fell hard
fast
she had no remorse
just legs for days

I left bruises across her collar bone
while she buried her freshly painted fingernails
into my shoulders
and bit at my lip

heaven...
her wings strewn across my bed
and those legs (god those legs)
tightly wrapped around my waist

I am a saved man
with a sold soul
a girl with a sweet smile
and a heart of gold

god blesses me
with a new day
full of sun...
and my baby

wendover

just like the butterflies
that migrate from their residence
in the pits of my stomach
to the chambers of my racing heart
we drive the car west with haste

the music swells with sentiment
while my finger tips run the length of her denim jeans
"have what you want, be what you want"
it's hard to keep my eyes on the road
notorious

the small city sparkled in the dust of the desert
cutting the night
my eyes struggled to pull in the neons
i could feel the crashing dreams
colliding at a red light on the state line

we made a grand entrance
her hand in mine
her lips on mine
chills down my spine
"let's drink" I'm in love

the devil the the the devil

talked to the devil today
he smelt of cheap whiskey and cigarettes
he offered me a position
at a competitive wage

the streets ran hard
drugs and sex
the souls were falling from the trees
ripe for the harvest

i kept my hood up and
my head down
they pulled at my empty pockets
with moans in their stares

the hustle

the buzzing through the air

spells blood and money

we are passing favors

hand to hand

like the dealers that swarm these corners

when the lights go out

gangster rap falls over us like a blanket

i feel warm underneath

(it also might be the summer heat, just outside

kicking at the windows)

my clothes all bear stains

battle wounds even

the skin breaks letting the art settle in

slow

i can feel the breeze from the fan on my neck(not my fan of course)

a masterpiece.

we couldn't be more ecstatic.

two hundred dollars.

i could get a bottle...

"hit me up if you need somethin else, maybe a sleeve? ha ha"

"I definitely will. Thanks a lot."

"no problem"

we shake hands.

It's all in the hustle.

no hero

these young girls stare at me hard
I wonder if they see through my disguise
my secret identity
but i spent last night drunk
saving no one
reading about all the successful evil deeds done
this morning in the paper
drinking burnt coffee
ironing my cape

don't blame the game

mamma help
I think about her all the time
but I'm so self destructive
my thinking seems to be
getting away from me
she keeps secrets
hidden in old antique bottles
milky green glass with worn corks
let me see that smile
while I button my shirt
and tighten my shoes
those sheets are worse than webs
and my wings are wet
no sense struggling

trust

Why can't I trust
you'll be fair
in love
trapped like rats

no one is coming to save us
