Where Is The Lonely Man

Sip down that drink now
Let it cool your burning throat
God knows its been a hundred miles
Since the last time you had
If the wind would subside
You might continue on
But maybe it won't...
And maybe you don't (want to)...

Where is the lonely man?
He is walking right beside me
Where is the lonely man?
He is hiding in my shadow
Where is the lonely man?
He is hanging from the evergreen tree

Dirt kicked up from boots scraping
Its such a long walk home
The sun sets on weary eyes
A soul of withered diatribes
Where is home anymore
Is it the place I left
Or the place I'm going
Where am I going
Anyway

Where is the lonely man?
He is walking right beside me
Where is the lonely man?
He is hiding in my shadow
Where is the lonely man?
He is hanging from the evergreen tree

Dreams that won't come true
Don't go away
They just remind us
Of who we could be
If we weren't who we
Are now

I am hanging from the evergreen tree

Bastards Of Chance

Thin veneer hides the reality beneath coated surface
Fake fraud fabrication
Blind eyes lidless in the ecstasy of the unknowable
Deceived distorted destroyed
Manufactured scent leads astray the empty searchers
Fake fraud fabrication
Choirs of the host of heaven hypnotize weak ears
Deceived distorted destroyed

What is the world but a speck
What is the universe but a drop
What is life but an eyeblink
What is death but a deep breath

No one holds us in the palm of their hand
We are no creation
No one spoke us out of the nothing
We are in no one's image
No one holds us in the palm of their hand
We are no sons and daughters
No one spoke us out of the nothing
We are but monsters

Interference

There's a distance between you and me and I can't bridge it. Like a cloud of unspoken hate and tension under the surface, wordless and yet so apparent in your eyes. Sign of the times. Like mimes, silenced without need and yet here we are. What deed brought here you and I to a point of silence as golden as tacky plastic jewelry in a vending machine. It ain't real bling, but that's just the thing. It doesn't mean a thing. Just like you and I. But I won't let us die.

I'm staring down a chasm of bad choices and ill intentions of my own inventions. At the bottom lies a pool, perhaps of blood, I don't know who's. I can't take this abuse. All the days are the same. Every goddamn breath just reeks of your name. I can't toss you out, breath you out, let you go, regain control, no matter what I do you're still here, making me fear I'll never put you in the past. It didn't last, that's a fact, with the way I act its no shock. But I've caught up to you and now the first thing I'm always thinking how can I get back to the day, the day that I change what I say and say you, only you, please return, overdue.

I shouldn't have acted so hastily, wasting away my only second chance. The one I've been begging for from you for years. All the jeers and the taunts, all the pain that still haunts. I can remember your face, the tears in your eyes, no surprise I fucking destroyed your perception created an infection with no detection of the harm I'd done to you in the long run. Sad you see me crawling back not too long after and so begins another chapter in the never-ending story of what may be an obsession, call it love if you want, I still can't get you out of my head, of my heart, I don't want to be apart, but a part, a piece of your puzzle, end of discussion.

Don't Disappear

In all my days I never thought that this would happen
But its happening
Sleep is not what I need, and I couldn't even get it
If I wanted
There is a light spilling from the crack in my doorway
I can't close it

Turn on my light, the timing's just right
Close the door, and open the window
Sit next to me

Everyday the sun stares straight at me and asks well what are you going to do about it
And I just wait for her to disappear
The moon is a much kinder light

Doll you couldn't make it any better, unless you stayed with me

Stay with me
Don't disappear
