Once upon a time down in Arkansas
An old man sat by his little cabin door

she appears composed
so she is i suppose
she shows no emotion at all
stares into space like a dead china doll

I saw red and then I closed the door
I don't think I'm gonna love you anymore

RIP Jani Lane

I got the call today I didn’t want to hear but I knew that it would come

“As he talks to the river
of lost love and dedication
And silent replies that swirl invitation
Flow dark and troubled to an oily sea
A grim intimation of what is to be
There's an unceasing wind that blows through this night
There's dust in my eyes, that blinds my sight
And silence that speaks so much louder than words
Of promises broken”

please remember me
and all my uphill clawing
if I make the pearly gates
i’ll do my best to make a drawing
of God and Lucifer
as a boy and girl

an angel kissing on a sinner

a monkey and a man, a marching band
all around the frightened trapeze swinger

He claims he's the victim
Strangled by the nine-to-five
And a pattern of stillness
That haunted this still life
Your tears are only alibis
To prove you still feel
You only feel sorry for yourself
And that's how you thrive
Your sorrow's your goldmine
So write some sad song about me
Screaming your agonies, playing the saint

“Lucky sevens align while I'm riding the pine
And I'll always be looking for ways
To remember the sound of the lottery noises
That I can't believe rang for me“

I've got a monster inside me
That eats personality types
She is constantly changing her mind on the daily
Think that she hates me
I'm feeling it lately
Might have to trick her and treat her
To seventy capsules or fly to a castle
So at least we could say that we died being traveled
Cultured and flattered
And then I could trap her
But what does it matter
"You do not want this"
This is the voice in her head that says
"You do not want him"
This is that space in your bed that says
"Bet I could *kitten* him"
Isn't it lonely?
These are the standards
To which you could hold me
Think that you know me
You think that you could if you hold me
Think you could try to console me
But I do not know me
No, I do not know me

I’ve got no finger tips
They were burned away from too many stove trips
Ain’t got no finger nails - I ate’m all cause I was hungry as hell

“I can tell you're
Having fun
And pretending
That you're still young

What drag, man
What a drag, man

If you want, I
Got a clue
And I think that
It's for you

Evolution
Evolution”

true hunting is over
no herd to follow
without game we prey on each other
family weakens
by the bite we swallow

choose no kin but adopted strangers
family weakens by the length we travel

All of us with wings

Living in the wake
Of overwhelming changes
We’ve all become strangers
Even to ourselves

I know a woman became a wife
these are the very words she uses to describe her life
she said a good day ain’t got no rain
she said a bad day is when I lie in bed and think of things that might’ve been
