HATEFUL BEING

My eyes are bleeding from need
The sleepless nights my thoughts live to feed
All dark desire repressed through the day
In darkness, inhibitions melting away

Of all desires I contemplate
Making me intimate with my fate
Calling me deep inside
Asking how long I'll hide
From the desires I crave

The insanity of repression
Just leads me deeper into obsession
Taste death upon the lips
From which all nothing slips
To snip the wings of convention

I am a hateful being
I can never live as I'm meant to be
And then you want to take some more away from me



CHILDREN WITH TOYS

I am the angel
I am the whore
I am the ministry of thoughts impure
I am the heat inside
I am the cold
I am the human, paradox unfold
We walk on...
I can be the most generous man you owe
I can be the most selfish man you know
I can take the make
Make the break
Then break a fake
Leave them back in the fade out
Next scene, treat my girl like a queen
Sweets to the sweets with an arsenic leash
When our only self-worth is found in another
Gather close to the flame long enough to watch it
smother
So many things done out of obligation
So many words said out of desperation
All the little things in great complication
Promises during mutual masturbation
So weak, yet so strong at the same time
I take what I want don’t take what’s mine
Top technology to download porn
And people never meet people anymore
I just sit and chat, eat junk and get fat
I can be anywhere but the place I’m at
And we talk about being real
I cannot seem to feel
The way you plan on doing that
I feel so far away from me, lost inside of me



GARDEN OF EDEN

Little Bo Peep has lost all of her sheep
And the one’s she has left are now thoroughly wasted
Little Boy Blue sells his body on the corner
For the holes in his veins
And the bills that need paid
Everybody wants a little piece of the crime
And they do the time
In their own little nursery rhyme
Designed in the latest fashion
Prime time
See the hook
See the line
This life ain’t living if you’re already dead
This life ain’t living if you’re dead in the head
And welcome to the greatest show on Earth
Hear the sideshow echo laughter
Feel the pull-string of your Master
I’m not a goddamn puppet!
Every step you make
Might be a mistake
A chance you take
Make it yours!
Every line you cross
Might be a loss
You just might hit the vein
Then think of what you have to gain!
Little Bo Peep has lost all of her sheep
And the one’s she owns are now permanently stoned
Seeds are sown, and now plants are grown
And I chills the bone
Not a thought do they own
You fill them with your garbage, fake
Your bullshit not a rose does make
Just remember when you’re sowing seeds
That the garden you grow may be nothing but weeds
Here’s your Garden of Eden
Downtown
Quick fix on the make
You take the bait
Now it’s too late!



DUST

As the angels touched the sky
And the heavens turned to black
And the stars we lay at looking
We worry are looking back
As science destroyed the many
And logic killed the one
All promises are broken
Alone, I stand, your son
Now you have turned against me
As I learn for myself
You bought my education
Yet, criticize what they sell
Now all the institutions
And things I used to trust
As unimportant as the dust



UNFINISHED

I’m blind out of control
When will it stop?
I’m tired of every role
It never stops
I’m swimming in the shit
I helped create
I’m coming up for air
Is it too late?
I never hold a thought
I cannot speak
I’m reaching for a wall
The body weak
Anger is tearing me
I fall apart
Wishing I quit before
I had a start
What can I see?
I’m seeing nothing
What should there be?
I’m sick of hoping, and I...
I’m sick of praying, and I...
I’m sick of dreaming, and I...
Feel unfinished
I’m sick of wanting, and I...
I’m sick of needing, and I...
I’m sick of bleeding, and I...
Feel unfinished
I’m sick of breathing, and I...
I’m sick of eating, and I...
I’m sick of sleeping, and I...
Feel unfinished
I’m sick of loving, and I...
I’m sick of fucking, and I...
I’m sick of living, and I...
Feel unfinished
I’m fucking tired of all the bullshit
Make it go away
I threw my heart into the thick of it
Make it go away
I gave my soul, I’m forced to forfeit
Make it go away
I can’t connect, I never seem to fit
Make it go away
