anything
i have i have some life to kill i can i can be there for you i have  this history to draw upon i know i have it all again to do to do i have i have  been here before i can i can get over you i have this history to draw upon i  know i know what i'm supposed to do gonna make you laugh while i make you cry  and if i have to sell you what'll you buy what'll you buy i'm asking what you  want take anything at all i'm asking what you need take anything at all you're  asking me to bleed that can i give you to make you want me what do you want from  me please take it if you think that's what you need just take it take any thing  at all i'm asking what you want take anything at all i'm asking what you need  take anything at all you're asking me to bleed what can i give you to make you  want me

body fall
it's a law of the land a give and taking offer to accept and you could  die keep cover and evade your coffin no small command innocent and deadly lover  bring your lovely way to die keep cover deadly lover there was a time that  served the mind by letting body have it's way now comes a changing world so  small mind diversify body fall you're one and the world it's any air inside you  attack release misguide you keep cover deadly lover you're the one and the world  when childhood friends all leave you and innocence deceive you keep cover your  deadly lover it's the law it's the way it's murder a different place a different  time a different world and a different mind now comes a changing world so small  mind diversify body fall

the closet
we're alone half a home records no or tv screen we'll go upstairs and  you're 15 close the door tight kick the night light desire strong enough to see  comes from us come to me come to me ready willing for the killing hear the front  door open wide i withdraw time to hide and i abide your mother takes you away  from me your mother now mommy you and me drunken stammer mommy hammer i'm in the  closet she's not gone at least please put some music on and this goes on we're  not alone and this no home after hours fueling fright i disappear into the night  deepest night your mother

cigarette
i can kiss you when i need to i can crush you when you're mean i can  have you in the morning with my dirty magazines you're my constant sticky finger  and i'll never get enough you're my cigarette my love you're my heaven in a  package you're the love i never had my friend when i am losing my mother when  i'm bad you're my passive suicide can't end life fast enough you're my cigarette  my love my cigarette i'm in a love affair with poison i'm addicted to my death  it's a constant situation i'm screaming out your name with my last breath i'm  waiting for you you're my choice when i am choosing you're my active karma sin  you're my loss when i am losing but i won't loose you again you're my passive  suicide i can't end life fast enough you're my cigarette my love i want you i  hate you i love you i quit

couldn't happen to you
hey little boy what you writin' in that  notebook ain't ya got nothing' to do wait i know you're gonna be a rock star it  couldn't happen to you hey little boy did you get a new toy that guitar's a  little big on you hey stop your snorin' come on get up in the morning stead of  sleeping all the afternoon it couldn't happen to you it must have been my  nappin' had a dream that it could happen i had a million dollars and a beautiful  girl i was singing for the whole wide world well i'll be the rage and i'll get  you back stage if you'll just let me borrow money hey what's so funny hey little  boy so you think you're going to make it and the record dude is coming today  well listen to me sonny and i hope that you can take it i'll tell you what he's  going to say no way it couldn't happen to you

delicate balance
don't breathe in a delicate balance  don't waste your movement it might tip your scales like every moment every day  things go a different way it's delicate catch as catch you can in a delicate  think about it watch what you do like how you treat me and i treat you every  moment every sound straight to hell heaven bound round round around again around  the world just around your bend get ready it's a delicate dance it's a delicate  chance it's a delicate world for such a delicate girl it's a delicate world  you're a delicate girl it's a delicate balance hurry up wait forever don't you  want to maybe push my buttons or maybe pull my levers you finally found you  finally caught her bread and wine for your farmer's daughter here tomorrow gone  today well she don't have too much to say but she's ready

flow my tears
empty heart overflows i cry words in motion picture shows they  document the years and free my flowing tears flow my tears for such a waste of  endless time i cry words a speech of pantomime they won't express my fears flow  my tears pretty mouth small your mind your tension kitchen cooks overtime won't  you stop and catch my act sign this lifeless bloodless pact and i'll exceed my  peers oh they flow flow my tears pretty mouth small your mind your tension  kitchen cooks overtime all my heroes want you to take the fall i guess you're  not so fucking tough after all flow my tears

the fog
this is the fog it's really not so bad like a homeland as if i need a  home i need a home this is the fog it's really not so bad like a dreamland that  sometimes i control yeah this is the fog my vision always clouding thinking  sometimes sometimes it's better not to know and if i see you through the fog i  can never know you until i know myself what i want you see is never what i have  so i reach for someone else it's really not so bad living in the fog i can live  and never ever ever see the blue sky i'm not afraid to try fear is on the  outside no-one's in but me i have locked myself inside myself and thrown away  the key now there's nothing left to share and i'm not going anywhere it's  nothing new i'm just like you it's really not so bad well this is the fog this  is how i've chosen to keep living when life leaves me alone and if i see you  through the fog i can never love you until i love myself what i want you see is  never what i have and so i reach for someone else i know you think it's sad but  it's really not so bad this is the fog my life is a fog.

freedom in a cage
this is what i am this is how you come to grips a plastic image glass  and metal legs and arms and teeth and lips and me and freedom this is what we  are this is what we want to be an ultra image fantasy a magic talisman for you  and me and freedom this is freedom in a cage drifting sideways up and down a  rolling sea of choices find a way find the time build a wall to contain their  voices and overwhelmed i take the helm backwoods hunt and fish the stream this  is freedom factory or carwash team this is freedom family to fawn upon this is  freedom penthouse roadhouse on and on and on and on and on this is what i can  this is what you cannot see i must heel at your command america i cannot call  you free you're not free yeah if this is freedom and this is freedom it's  freedom in a cage swim the mainstream side to side sacrifice my vices leave the  green free the bird leave the womb left to my devices i'll improvise i realize  that this is freedom

i know
i'm lost in my shadow i'm lost in the spaces the space between love and  hate i feel like i've lost it i feel like i'm losing the edge it feels like it  left with my mind and i know i know what my options are i know that they're not  too far from the tips of my fingers to the light of my aura's glow i know i feel  like it's ending i feel like i'm closing the space between love and hate and i  want to keep on growing i want to go flying exploring the heights of my mind and  i know i know what my choices are i know who my friends really are 'cause i'm my  mother and fathers they fought me and taught me to grow i know squeezing the  answers from this whole in my head is this life everlasting or am i already dead  screaming a wealth of image locked in my head longing losing lying dying dead  i'm lost in my shadow i'm lost in the spaces the space between love and hate and  i want to keep on growing i want to go flying exploring the heights of my mind  and i know i know what my choices are i know what my options are so watch the  tips of your fingers they might burn in my aura's glow i know

jesus vs.  superman
what if clark got really pissed and had  his share of bein' dissed by lois what if someone spiked his drink with an evil  drug do you think it would slow us clark kent's never been out done but could he  beat god's only son if jesus fought superman tyson could be commentator if he's  out for good behavior maybe the rights will sell to pay tv with mosses as the  referee no wonder if superman won would he be forgiven and when he dies will he  go to heaven if jesus fought superman one on one hand to hand who'd be saved and  who'd be damned if jesus fought superman now jc isn't known for fighting would  he strike him down with ligthning or thunder if the fight was staged in the ring  would it be promoted by don king i wonder with a bucket of nails and a  kryptonite shield would the king of thorns beat the man of steel if jesus fought  superman one on one hand to hand who'd be saved and who'd be damned if jesus  fought superman

lovesong
this is not a love song just a way to pass the time away a way to clear  my mind and clear the air this ain't' no love song well they only take your  breath away i got nothin' left to say but i don't care how could i show the  feelings that i can't let go of i'd have to let you know this is not a love song  please don't go i don't write them down you know they're just a waste of time  why should i clutter up my mind with history how could i sing about the times i  watched you fall asleep of all the things i keep that you gave me as soon as i  begin you live inside my mind again and then i'd have to write you in this is  not a love song hey you win stay you win this is not a love song it's an epitaph  and ending it's a message i keep sending just to send it's an act of memory  express my animosity confess my mediocrity again i knew our shot was long and  every time i sing this song i wish i wasn't right that we were wrong this is not  a love song just another love song all along so long

my addiction
you are my addiction my pleasure and my pain you’re my infection  disease you burn my vein my fate is frozen it’s a destiny you fix you are my  addiction my reason to exist i thought i saw you leaning fashionably against the  bar your face is everywhere i look your scent your touch your voice you haunt my  nervous system with your soul it’s a fact you’re everywhere i ever will be i've  got mirrors on my eyelids to help me see inside my soul you built the walls of  chaos in my soul so warm within you without you i’m so cold i can’t even drink  you of my mind love must be dumb as well as blind you’re my addiction my vice  give it to me

one of a kind
we were talking about the need to need we  decided we must breed within our breed where am i to find others of my kind  return my love in kind in time i bide my time won't you help me find love for  who i am before i make of me a sacrificial lamb for whom to sacrifice against my  own advice you've seen me cry once or twice am i one of a kind should i leave my  love behind or let it burn me up inside i bide my time so should i decide to  spend my life alone or should i take a bride with whom to face the great unknown  where am i to find others of my mind return my love in kind in time i would love  to love if she fit me like a glove god i scream to the sky's above i love tell  me where am i to go to squench the fire from below i'll keep searching high and  low am i one of a kind should i leave my love behind or let it burn me up inside  i bide my time

so far away
it's a secret in my mind a burning vision  in my brain well i'm not unkind it's my emotion hurricane you're so close to me  and still so far away you're so far away the feeling and the fact that you and i  were meant to be if my devotion lacked then you could fall in love with me want  what you can have a different game to play you're so far away you're so far away  here tomorrow gone today you're so far away you're so close and you're far away  it's a secret in my mind a never ending fantasy i'm not unkind i'll give you  what you want from me want what you can have a different game to play you're so  close to me and still so far away you're so far away

something about me
there must be something about me that makes  you stare there must be somethng inside me that makes you scared there must be  something you see that i can’t see and it’s all over me there must be something  there must be something about me that makes you think i’m strange there must be  something about me that i can’t change when i look back on what was yesterday  you didn’t have so much to say but now there’s something you see that i can’t  see and it’s all over me there must be something about me

sorrow
planting in your garden body sorrow catches on playing on your  inhibitions sorrow catches on racing through this deadly daydream restful now  but sorrow's catching on a woman's quarters smell so sweet but sorrow catches on  i dream a dream of freedom fading sorrow's catching on something tells me i'll  be leaving fear decides and sorrow takes the day fear always gets his way i've  been a thousand people always keep my back against the wall i'll be a thousand  more and this will never change i know what's happening a cuddle here a kind  word there teeth sink easy into vein as pleasure fades and sorrow catches on and  when i wake up in the morning i'm a fire in my bed and until i go to sleep at  night i'm dead to the world just like all the boys and girls out there waiting  for their lover's voice to call and i can almost hear her footsteps in the hall  but you know its only sorrow after all i try to find my kind of love but  sorrow's catching on passion cools and caution rules when sorrow catches on  something tells me i'm the looser i decline remindful of my sins and sorrow  always wins i've been a thousand people always keep my back against the wall  i'll be a thousand more and this will never change i know what's happening a  cuddle here a kind word there teeth sink easy into vein as pleasure fades and  sorrow catches on i've been a thousand people always keep my back against the  wall i'll be a thousand more and this will never change i know what's happening  this true love melting over me lips move gently so divine right over mine and  sorrow whispers come along

universe
the book that i live in is such a masterpiece man it doesn't mean a  thing unless i make it yeah the text is all in code that only i understand it's  another universe and when i don't feel like existing i just watch some t.v. it's  amazing what they cram in two dimensions but stranger things have happened  everyday for ten years in another universe there's nobody here but me as far as  my mind can see there's nobody here but me the man who writes my novel he's a  cynical man to someone somewhere i am just a plaything the key to my survival i  am words on a page i'm a book and you're the reader i'm a need and you're the  needer there's nobody here but me as far as my mind can see there's nobody here  but me i am the center of my world

way strange
always seems a part is missing stolen  from my repertoire always seems we lose the battle without your warning where is  your war you are way strange you miss your chance to change you are way strange  why fight the world for poetry why fight the world poetry yeah ever passing ever  waiting ever writing wanting more every pass illuminating without your battle  where is your war why fight the world for poetry why fight the world and dollar  signs yeah poets prosing ever prosing investors vesting watch and all watch your  cup it's ever filling pistol pen and body fall what grand design my poetry your  dollar sign did you design my poetry with your dollar sign
