She’s trapped
helpless
crying
in pain
but I don’t think
she really wants
to be
free

Innocent vs Evil pt 1

Oh mama help me I’ve gone into a rage
Bruise broken bleeding backing into this cage
She’s gone again
She’s gone again
That part of me that was once whole
The part of me that had a soul
All that’s left are these tattered wings
She’s picked up all else and left these things
I can’t get her bank, she’s gone too far away
That devilish girl is here to stay
Lighting another up
Telling everyone she don’t give a fuck
She’s gone again
She’s gone again
The little angel girl inside
It’s the devil’s daughter here now to take you for a ride
Oh mama help me, I don’t know what to say
I don’t know what to do to make that angel stay
Those dragon’s wings have grown twice their size
And out of this mischievousness she’s getting a rise
The little angel’s gone away
I don’t know what else to say
Lil miss innocent never was really all that
She didn’t like to drink, dance smoke or scrap
She’s gone again
She’s gone again
The dragon’s spawn has come out to play
And the little angel girl has gone away

Innocence vs Evil pt 2

Oh daddy where did your girl go?
She’s gotten dreads and forsaken the ‘fro
She’s not your sweet little girl anymore
In face some may say she turned into a whore
What happened to that girl from ten years ago?
She would have planned and plotted and taken everything slow
She drove a little red car back and forth to school
Taking all modern comforts and forsaking cool
That little red car’s title is about to be signed
She’ll be signing her name soon, right on the dotted line
Your little daughter has grown over the years
Through first fights, shouting matches and tears
She’s not the little girl you raised
She’s not the little girl you knew
Oh daddy what would you think?
If you knew exactly how much hair dye went down that sink
She’s who you want her to be
Where she’s near you, but not around me
This girl’s a wild child, living like it’s her last bet
I’ve tried to tell her once it’s not her time yet
But she keeps working hard and staying up all night
I’m sure she sleeps by morning light
She gets up at six, to do it all again
This girls needs to confess, she’s attracted to sin
Oh daddy where are you?
You might want to take her away
Because this devious girl
Just might be here to stay

Static

Television
Signals off again
All I hear is static
The kids are fighting
Again
All I get is static
The car battery died
For the third time
All I feel is static
Talking to you
Is like that
Nothing but static
Claiming your gifts
Come from the heart
But how can they
When you’re unfeeling?
How can they
When your heart’s
Nothing but stone?
Turning on the television
Is like talking to you
Static
I feel like I’m drowning in it
I’m wallowing in the gray snow
Dirty gray snow
And all you can do
Is stand there
And watch me
With those cold dark eyes
I feel them like needles
Pricking my skin
I’m not numb to the pain
I’m not used to your unemotion
And I’m not used to the static
I get from you
I’m not going to get used to it
And yet here I stay
Unable to break fee
Hanging onto my sanity
By a string
Hearing the endless crackling
Of static
That’s formed around me

Sharks

Look at her
She’s alone
Defenseless
Encircle her
All of you
Swarm
Getting
Ready for the kill
Sensing her fright
Sizing her up
Getting ready
For
The attack
And
Finally
The
Kill

Love Affair

His hands run along the smooth red
That has become his obsession
Perfect the word comes to mind
Timeless and classic as well
This is no ordinary love afraid
She is everything he ever wanted
Unlike the others in his life
Discriminating
Opinionated
Money chasers
Who leave when the going gets rough
She has stayed always
Remaining until the dust has settled
Always there year after year
Maintain that perfect shape
Keeping the same look
Never giving him a reason to tire of her
Never giving him a reason to want another
She listens
She’s quiet
She’s everything
He’s ever wanted
And now he has it all
His ’69 Camaro

Destiny

Hey destiny come ride with me again
Stay with me here on this lone prairie
I really need your company tonight
Cause I’ve traveling to forget
All that I’ve left behind
Don’t ask me why with you silver words
Don’t tempt me to turn back again
Cause you know I would if you ask
And face the dusk as I drive back into town
Just sit here with me Destiny
Tell me of my next resting sport
Reassure me with your gently touch
Tell me the words I’ve long to hear so much
I could get drunk off the smell of your hair
But just guide me tonight
And tell me everything’s gonna turn out just right
It’s a long way, going this high road
But comfort me ‘til I get there
Lest I fall asleep at the wheel here
Guide me to my next resting place
Com’n Destiny at least tell me that much
Your silky hair glowin’ like gold in the sunlight
Please don’t tell me there’s a storm coming through
I’m not ready to wash away the memories
Sweet Sister Destiny stay with me tonight
And tell me everything’s gonna be alright

Lone Traveler

Hello Guilty feeling
I’ve been waiting for you
For so long
Through rain storms
And hurricanes
Through tornados
And growing pains
I’ve done a lot more
Since we last parted
Managed to pass the time
Quite well
And spent some of that time
Rotting in a jail cell
Acquainted with you
As I am to no other
Hello, guilty feeling
Why, you embrace me
Like a mother
Ruffle my hair
And pat me on the head
Make me forget all the bad things
I have already done
But remind me of the past
Oh, you do that too well
Cause you came to visit me
Every night in that jail cell
Well embrace your kindred spirits
Embrace your devil’s spawn
Cause I can’t turn away from you
As many times as I’ve tried
There’s always your insistent voice
That somehow trapped in my head
I’m lonely when you’re not here
So gimme a kiss, gimme a great bear hug
We’re not leaving each other again
No, guilty feeling we’re sticking it out
‘til the end, cause I’m yours
And you’re mine and this life,
This sweet life is ours to conquer
Getting drunk off summer rain
Getting high off other’s pain
Say hello to Destiny
Because I’m running off with her cousin
I’ve got Desire’s arms wrapping around my neck
Squealing with delight
As I’m driving my blue Caddy down the high way
Hello, guilty feeling
I’m coming home real soon..

Shared Secret

Her shirt lifts
Slightly
As she leans over
Revealing
The innocence of youth
With the permanency of experience
Mistake or not
It’s there
Seeming to wink at me
And I smile
Knowing
All too well

Prostitution

She smokes her cigarette
Long and lengthy
The both of them
Pouty painted lips
Meet the filter
In a sultry kiss
She rests against
The wall of the
Convenience store
Perched with one leg
Propped up as if she
Is going for a push off start
Slender and slim
Are her fingers
Reaching
So she can exhale
A cloud of smoke
Soon appears
Released without a sound
She is well practiced
In many arts
If they dare only ask
