He left us with his shoes
He left us with this mood
Only his hat is gone
He left with his blues
Woeful, wandering Stranger
Moonlit cigarette and wager
Will his return bring us answers
Or is it not in our favor
"I turn my back on the you's
To find skin that fits
Before the fumes run out
Before exhaustion sets in
I can't do this another day
It's the faint smell nothing
Causing me to stray
Hope the road ends at something
Running from the taste of steel
To steal my sense of being
Losing all scents that appeal
to find a reason worth feeling..."
We've tried and tried and failed
To pick his path and track
He won't come back for us
Will he return for his tail
Will he return with a tale?

Hang Low, Hang Tight
The Dive at Joes
Dimly lit and smelling of piss
I pull the stool to cushion the blow
Give it to me straight
Tell me tall tales
So I can see, as I tip my hat down
A place for the lost
The used ups and washed outs
Grit and stench, accepted
Pressing the filter between bitter lips
Lighting something other than life
Filtering days
Lost in smoke
Drowning in smooth
Tomorrow is doable
If this were sad, it'd be goodbye
If this were joy, it'd be hello
It just is, how's the wife and kids?

Injection
Needs for needles
And the self-sustaining peoples
Masses gathered under empty steeples
Thoughts from the thoughtless
And the self-serving process
Begging the fictitious for easy fixes
Trading hours for false powers
Ignoring the ignorance
Tit feeding from the slit throat
Bleeding
Your façade is breaking
With every deep breath they’re taking
Throwing the book back at you
Grabbing their lives
No longer faking
Losing the lost
And the self-shadowed cross
Emptied pews from the double-crossed
Facing the frowns
And the smiles with broken crowns
Only one way to go from down
Saving dollars for scholars
Collared, not followed
The free-formed thinkers, hollowed
Filling
Your palace is crumbling
With every step, they’re fumbling
Picking themselves up
Mapping their path
No longer humbling.

Performing Cunnilingus on a Succubus
Her body
Woven by Madams of Midnight
Come to take away your pain
Her mind
Lifted from a place of forgotten
madness
Luring you
To take unto her, the conscious
being that is your sight
So you can't tell when she is
robbing you blind
The Perception of a Sucker:
She speaks the sweetest words
With bitter, yet delicious intentions
Sugarcoated lips securing rough
textures, touchable on a
hallucinogenic high
The Perception a The Sucker:
She speaks the sweetest words
With devious, yet delicious
intentions
Sugarcoated lips securely fasten
once dormant chest pressure
Pressure building from yesterday's
catch
From yesterday's repetitive future
Her potential sits like an Indian,
cradling her greed and disgust for
progression
You can see she bore twins
But the father skipped town on a
3am train and now resides with worms
Her legs have been shaved to the
point of revealing muscle tissue
Dripping below her ankles to leave
a bare, red trail into tomorrow
A trail matching her lips
Whispering. . .
"You know where I'm going, but did
you see me coming?"

What's Good For You
Sleepless nights
and daytime plights
The times are killing
Progression lost
in the mental frost
The times are killing
Lonesome late's
with friendly escapes
The times are killing
Forgetful flees
and Disney sprees
The times are killing
Sit back and relax
The coffee's on me
Just help pay the tax
and forget the tea
The times are killing...
An ego inflated
Relations infected
By resenting the you's
and hating the me's
I told you to forget the fucking tea.

A View Askewed
Granted for taken, feeling
Jumbled is the tumble, when rumbled
Verses free from obscurity
And the Rorschach stains in my head
Figure this out
When self is still in
People still concentrate
on the pain they don't feel
Uncommon, is not the way
A bird shits on your head
The way is convenience
So, stand aside or alone
Thrifty, thy name is used
Used, thy name is new
New, with great marketing
Of a product long since trashed
Out is the wave of new
When shoes are worn
On the doormat of you're inn
I.O.U. an umbrella
You'll need it since you're not sleeping.

Prattled Discernment
Sue me, for I am the almighty quote
With quips to sooth the throat
Who am I to gloat?
That’s right.
I am the righteous word
Here to slay the absurd
Is this not the right heard?
Followers of the rotten Shepard
Faceless is the breed you are
Free to be obscure
Forgetting you were once the cure
Curing the once amiable
Spoon feeding the once unhealthy
Apathetic woes in the bright night
The Aloe to the Sun Burnt
Shunned for the new age.
