Only One Who Knows

got nothing
you're bound by ideals
still running
profound thoughts she steals

(chorus)
still we're trying
but they ain't buying
turn on, tune in, drop out

complex delusion
its all cause and effect
an illusion
that tends to disconnect

and choice
inside your mind misleads you
your voice
comes from the drugs they feed you

(chorus)
turn on, tune in, drop out

you thought
a fork lied beneath your toes
you sought out
just where the rabbit hole goes

something
you thought you could expose
didn't you hear
you're the only one who knows

Hard At Work

You tell me what that means.

'Til I Get Back

Tell you woman you left me bare
When you told me that you didn’t care
And you left me… all alone

I’ve been talkin its 10 years gone now
Kept on a-walkin 10 years too long now
So far… from my home

(chorus)
I know, I’ll get back someday
Until then keep ramblin on

Spent a little time behind some bars
No moonlight or the shining stars
Everything… fades to gray

Keep on fighting an endless war when
No one says what we’re fighting for
Lets’ be heroes just for one day

(break)

Done no harm I just tried to please you
Speak your mind ‘cause it’s all that frees you
Never be afraid to say

(chorus)

People singing their same old song and
Carries on for far too long
I know I see… see the fraud

Who is listening when you pray?
You still keep doing it every day
And I ask you… who is God

(chorus)

Fukken Mondays

Sadly realized last night at 4:45am that I had to be up at 9:30 for the incredibly useful drug assessment, in which I forked over $100 to have a really nice lady spend an hour and fifteen minutes with me to determine that I am, indeed, not a drug addict. Enough of that silliness, though, in another effort to maybe get something done by Thursday (go go arbitrary deadline type dates), something I wrote a bit earlier. Can't tell if I like it a lot or if it's garbage, we'll see.

Lost Me Somewhere

Plastic and strippers
Acid and trippers
And everyone's losing their god damn mind

Dance on their pole
Filling a hole
What is it that everybody's trying to find

Did you lose me somewhere
Inside the nothingness
All these flashy cars and porno stars
Who are you trying to impress

Fake osculation
An endless rotation
With nothing to say but a want to be seen

Dots, they're so small
Can't connect them at all
Still everyones glued to their fucking screen

Did you lose me somewhere
Can't see through all the mess
Slightly out of luck, just don't give a fuck
Something I must confess


Grow up and old
Do just what you're told
Be everything they create you to be

The patterns are dancing
We're still not advancing
Is there somebody who sees what I see

Not sure of the time
Somewhere down the line
Now I'm scrambling to see
Just where you lost me

Random Fuckery

Trying to get something done for Thursday, the first was written on my phone when I was driving back to Utah and I imagine it to be kind of a faster tune, the second was from earlier tonight, quite a bit slower than the first. Pretty tired, but oh well, they might be alright.

False Romances with Girls Next Door

To live in a world so stubborn and stern
Self-destructing, continues to turn
Filled with people who won't seem to learn

That there's more
So much more
Than false romances with girls next door


But with dull lives they all seem to settle
And in your private affairs they will meddle
Seemingly happy but so discontent
No other reason they'd be so hellbent

On trying to ruin
These harmless things that I'm doing
Talk a walk, step outside
This roof and four walls just allow you to hide


And I don't understand how
I've only realized these problems now
I'm never going to make it
If every day I continue to fake it

When there's more
So much more
Than false romances
With girls next door

Sometimes

Sometimes I don't know what to do
When my mind seems to be stuck on you
Sometimes I don't know what to think
When you keep on pushing me to the brink

Oh sometimes
Get so blue
Out of rhymes
With nothing new
But child
I know that I've got you

Sometimes I don't know where to go
All these people that I don't really know
Sometimes I don't know what to say
Try to move but you're pushing me away

Sometimes
Get so blue
Out of rhymes
Nothing new
Oh baby
I thought that I had you

Sometimes I don't know what I own
Nothing matters when you're feeling so alone
Sometimes I don't know why I'm down
Then I look and see nobody's around

Sometimes I think I've lost my mind
Nothing ahead, forgotten what's behind
Sometimes I think I've got it right
Til I see that there is no end in sight

Oh sometimes I wonder if the pain
Is bottled up and driving me insane

Get so blue
Out of rhymes
Got nothing new
Baby sometimes
Wish I still had you
