ONE LESS REASON TO WAKE UP
I look around
And I wonder what's to say
Alone again
I killed my best friend today
I shot her down
for the thousandth time this year
Below the buzz
Everything’s clear
A little gun
that I carved out of soap
I cut my hand
I'll bleed to death I hope
There's not enough
pieces left to make me clean
I'm getting darker
I don't know what I mean
TV, radio
everything's a show
Why I'm living here
I'm not sure I know
Lives are wasted, I
wish that I could go...
As the final line
interupts the flow
It fooled the guard
now I roam this earth
Conjugal visit
for what it's worth
I plant my seed
then run my ass to the hills
like another dumb animal's
gotta do what it feels
Like a magazine
life's a fashion show
Gotta walk the rope
with no room to grow
Plastic bullets fly
Mache holes they blow
On the TV screen
no one dies, you know
No one dies, you know
No one dies, you know

SUNDAY DRIVE
You should be happy where you are
Instead you’re dying in some car
Sometimes it’s best to stay alive
You’re on your final Sunday drive
Freedom is just another word
I know the notion seems absurd
You work to be somebody’s slave
& pray you’ve still a soul to save
As I’m slipping under
This is what I see
Legion's thousand angels
Leaning into me
As I’m stepping over
All you under me
You say you’ve never been before
but I can show you to the door
You slipped in through an open
and brought desire meshed with want
So you’re suicidal
I still have to work

Ask Questions
You had it all figured out
Knew what this & that was all about
You’ve seen it all before
A picture window from your bedroom floor
She was the Queen of Wands
All good fortune she would gaze upon
How she looks down on me
with the deepest sensuality
Is what you want
still what you need?
Is what you want
still what you need?
Is what you want
what you want?
You know
You did know it all
Look up
This is what you saw
The dream
Grab it by the balls
Dear mister smarty pants
Sometimes it’s best for monkeys just to dance
How they’ve influenced you
Sometimes you wonder who’s been playing who
Sniff out the dirty parts
Take this seriously before you start
Make what you want
be what you need
& what you need
Be what you want
If what you want
is what you need
then what you want
is what you want

WERSTWHILE
Cast down
See the angels
Mirrors for eyes
looking through you
The pieces still proving
we're all together
Separated
and one in the same
The cleansing agent
feels so dirty
letting it seep
out the end
Laid to waste
in a sea of refuse
The pearl found floating
as we all swim
Funny how
He always looks like you
Down on your knees
who you're praying to
in disbelief
you're the one you're doubting
The fate of the fire
that's burning through
Once again
it's the same as ever
Ninety-nine faces
with one on the wall
Blowing your nose
on the Shroud of Turin
Making fun of me
as we all fall
Misunderstand me
if you will
The saviour then
is the saviour still
Get off your asses
and carry your crosses
Spend your own damn time
on the hill

SQUEEZING WATER FROM STONES
Can I please have some water?
Why won’t you let me in?
I can’t stand all this sunshine.
Your moisture burns my skin.
Ahhhhhhhhhh
Squeezing water from…
Just forgot where I’m going
Mind if I crash here tonight?
I’ll leave first in the morning
a sweet taste of delight
Ahhhhhhhhhh
Squeezing water
& blood from…
I try
& fail
So that’s
the hell
I try
again
& that’s the sin
Insanity
The best of me
Didn’t know there were so few of us left
‘til I fled my hole
Wandering this barren wasteland
of the soul
The few I come across
just try to survive
Ain’t too hard to tell
they’re barely alive
Since she’s been gone
folks have gotten mean
Won’t let you within a mile
of their stream
Someday
it’s gonna rain
