• GONE
    Save me
    From this season's dead air
    Take me
    Blind naked scared
    Want you to burn me, burn me baby
    Cover your eyes with my ashes
    Why don't you pray for me
    Sit back and watch my divine spark flash

    Chorus:
    Gone
    Good riddance I'm gone
    Gone in a wasted way
    Wasted my way I'm gone

    Push and pull on me baby
    With your fingernails full of fur
    I want you to stab me
    Do it, do it, 'cause you know it don't hurt

    Chorus

    Jinx me, jinx me baby
    Beautiful like a fool
    C'mon and remove me
    Dilated and burned

    A CONSPIRACY
    Did you ever hear
    The one about last year
    It was all a lie
    Ain't it funny how the time flies
    What we gonna do baby
    What is left for us to prove
    I've never stolen nothing, not a thing
    Tried to stay away from this year's
    Big thing
    Ain't as easy as it seems
    To find a mutual dream
    Can you tell me wrong from right
    Do you know when to freeze or take flight
    Can you tell me more or less
    I got to know-confess

    chorus:
    Don't neglect me
    Come be my conspiracy
    Don't neglect me
    Come be my conspiracy

    Now you got a question about your answer
    Say try your adam's apple
    You talk it try it bite it right
    So now you want to fight? ok
    Let's step outside
    I got tradition in addition

    My definition it don't hold me back
    Well what you think about that
    What you don't understand
    This is a very old land
    Can you tell me wrong from right
    Do you know when to freeze or take flight
    Can you tell me more or less
    I got to know-confess

    Chorus

    HIGH HEAD BLUES
    Sometimes I have a ghetto in my mind
    Other times sunshine high head fine
    In between I get cold, old mean
    Intertwined with country pride open and kind
    This draws a line
    Sorry to coin a phrase
    On either side is wisdom and rage
    So keeping track of time
    Racing with my age
    Sleeping with the snakes
    Forget that you showed up late
    It ain't worth it baby

    Chorus:
    A charmed life it is
    At least they tell you so
    I got a good idea
    It ain't like they say is so
    And if it is then let me go
    Let me go

    Any day there might be hell to pay
    But in other ways
    It makes it seem ok
    I'll tell you what I mean

    It's not a plot nor a scheme
    It's just peace in my mind
    Again can I use the word kind
    I ain't sorry about it baby

    CURSED DIAMOND
    I lose myself
    I forget myself
    Sometimes I fault myself
    I might fight myself
    But then I make amends
    I freeze myself
    Rain on myself
    Ok, so I stone myself
    And I might even find myself
    But then again what happens if I do
    So unzip my pride
    Open me up wide
    So I can show this to you

    Chorus:
    I want to shine for you
    I want to sparkle too
    Just like a diamond cursed
    Well you know it don't get worse
    You know that I'll save you time
    Your trouble now is mine
    Hold me baby
    Hold me girl
    And I will laugh with you
    If you want me to
    Roll me in your splendor
    I'll envy your surrender
    And show you victory

    I hate myself
    Doesn't everybody hate themselves
    I scare myself
    Then I tell myself it's all in my mind
    So I let the poison go
    'Cause I always know
    It will be there for me

    NONFICTION
    I don't know my telephone number
    But you kiss good and I'd like to
    See you tomorrow
    And i don't beg, I pay, I don't barter
    And if we had a child I'd like a son,
    Not a daughter
    'Cause she'd be just like you
    You know that would not do

    I'm no builder, I'm no gardener
    I sing some songs, have a friend
    Who's a photographer
    There ain't no other language
    I know how to speak
    Some like their water shallow
    And I like mine deep
    Tied to the bottom
    With a noose around my feet

    Chorus:
    The clouds conspire
    Above my head
    I overheard them
    Say I wish he was dead
    Today the sunset
    Burned my eyes
    And in the next room I hear someone cry

    I like to dress up like the jury
    To eat like a king, to poke fun at clergy
    To talk like dirt
    To love ya like tar
    But never fall in too fast
    With my north star
    While you pull your hair out
    I buy the drinks at the bar

    SHE GAVE GOOD SUNFLOWER
    I've been lost in the headlights 
    All night long 
    Said I've felt taller, 
    Yes I heard the dealer's song 
    Say babe don't mark me absent 
    I only missed out by a fraction 
    Be the sun that bursts through my clouds 
    It's hard enough just living on this ground 

    Chorus: 
    Say don't pretend to me 
    I beg and I plead, your sunflower i need 
    Thought nothing would surprise me 
    I was wrong now I see 
    Come on baby and just do me if you please 
    This made me reminiscing 
    About the honey we made 
    I feel warm in your blizzard 
    And your flood I crave 
    I won't abuse my anger 
    I promise you no lecture 
    Come be the sun bursting through my clouds 
    It's hard enough just living on the ground

    P.25 LONDON
    I am a cobweb 
    In the corner of the room 
    I tell you I built myself a beat baby 
    So c'mon and cry me a monsoon 

    Get busy on it 
    And make it deep 

    Chorus: 
    Imagine how surprised all the kids will be 
    Empty bottles, saviors they crawl 
    That has always been and will always be 
    There's a hornet's nest in my head, 
    Come and save me 

    If I don't say nothing 
    You say now tell us what to do 
    So I tell ya'll this is just how I live 
    Someone else calls it the news 
    But that's yesterday 
    Yesterday's news

    BALLAD IN URGENCY
    Here with me 
    And this price you pay 
    Just a wishful dream could be blown away 
    Ask yourself for better or worse 
    Because what's the use if it's just good luck 
    A black cat has crossed my path 
    Tell me what's good luck about that 

    Chorus: 
    Hate and greed 
    Swollen and sweet 
    Let's start this misery 
    If that's where you wanna be 
    Fear and love 
    From down or from up above
    Come to me 
    Come to me 
    I bet you please 
    Come set me free 
    Excuse me please 
    For my definition 
    But deeper still are my convictions 
    Urgently I wait to hear an answer 
    While I misconduct 
    A sad lost anthem 
    An anthem like you have never heard 
    Have you heard something so absurd

    WISER TIME
    No time left now for shame 
    Horizon behind me, no more pain 
    Windswept stars blink and smile 
    Another song, another mile 
    You read the line every time 
    Ask me about crime in my mind
    Ask me why another read song 
    Funny but I bet you never left home 

    Chorus: 
    On a good day, 
    It's not every day 
    We can part the sea 
    And on a bad day, 
    It's not every day 
    Glory beyond our reach 
    14 seconds until sunrise 
    Tired but wiser for the time 
    Lightning 30 miles away 
    Three thousand more in two days

    DOWNTOWN MONEY WASTER
    To my low down downtown 
    Money waster 
    Your only saving grace 
    Is that I like to taste ya 
    But your flower is spoiled 
    Too easy to make ya 
    You got a .38 and your book of revelations 
    I got a .44 and a lead of temptation 

    Chorus: 
    I am a rounder, like to round around 
    Two for one at the store on the corner 
    Little girl like to drink and sniffin' powders 
    Like the bars that stay open after hours 
    Like the boys that go 24-7 
    Too many late nights and you don't go to heaven

    DESCENDING
    Have mercy baby 
    I'm descending again 
    Open your eyes 
    This time it's sink or it's swim 
    No sermons on ascending 
    No verdict on deceit 
    No selfish memorandum 
    No confusion for me 

    Chorus: 
    Curses 
    Curses and clues 
    A feast for fools 
    Have mercy baby 
    And hand me downs 
    It was just a few years ago 
    You'd hand me ups and map 
    Right out of town 
    But I would let it slide 
    Like mercury 
    Silver and quick 
    Poisonous and deadly 
    So deadly
